mont 1.-THE Irish Citizens Aroused.
NEW YORK, August 81, 1862
TO TIRE EDITOR OF THE HERALD.
believs the HERALD has frequently illustrated
that anupathy to Mr. August Belmont, as Chairman
OF the National Democratic Committee Is . thing
which has found its way to the Irish brain.
There can be no doubt Of 1t. The antpathy Ia
there; and IL mas made Judgement which Is quite
too deep to pe easily destroyed.
The Irish citizens have first right to In this
matter. They are democrats Of an ardent nature;
they constitute 10 immense part of the democracy
that without them that power could never win
election; and they always look on q defeat OF the
party as q triumph OF political misfortune over
themselves.
The Irish citizens are perpetual democrats. The
Germans change their coats; the native Americans
DO SO very often. The Irish always keep the
II hats falIo
tive and Gothic been true to political conviction
as they have been there had been no civil war.
The greatness Of America Is In an Intangible tie
with the democracy. and Is the Irish citizens who
constitute for the democracy both bone and muscle
When Mr.. August Belmont was made national
chairman the Irish citizens, every place. through their
press, threw up their hands in establishment They
had before heard Of him but as Belgian banker
having an once In the city OF New YORK. Why such
q man was made their political leader, in Presi-
Dental campaign too, was an act for which they
had no understanding. The appointment annoyed
them, irritated them, disguised them, insuted
them. They regarded 1t in its authors an act of
detection. and they foretod for 1t with accuracy
which cannot be questioned now overwhelming
disaster at the polls They accepted the appoint
ment. That Is true. But the acceptance was per-
meated with sullenDess and bad grace and only TOR
the granite hrmness of their political nature thew
would have bolted from 1t IN body.
The last straw Is now on the back OF the patient
camel. That stupid act OF misjudgment was CON-
to the foreign brokers' hands. They who suppose
that the camel will bear Its load to the end or
journey in 1872 are blind In their intelects.
The bolt is commenced. 1t 10 three years ahead OF
time; but even SO, the Irish citizens refuse carry
the foreign banker single minute longer They
have already flung him from their backs into the
ditch. They are determined, rs they have the right,
for they are the chief strength OF the democracy to
win IN 1872. II there are any managers who shall
attempt to rein back the Irish citizens to recarry tue
foreign banker they will find themselves ditch COM
panions with their idol.
q blame hovi
raken this decided attitude. Look at the character
Of the man imposed upon them. He is mere Bel
CLAN bankers he Is as fastidiously aristocr3tic as
great success in money shaving can make small
brains; he cannot speak English syntax; he cannot
that have appeared from him were written By
some else he has neither disposition nor
teal service for state, county. city ward; he Ia
not even citizen OF the United States; most OF HIS
time Is spent In Europe; he has been wretchedIy de-
feated In the two contests he managed, and, worst
OF ALL he may be suspected Of deliberate treason TO
the democracy for at the close OF the last campaign
aus snt sSanse OF aaa ia
dates -an act which directly gave Pennsylvania TO
the radicals and generally dlsheartened the party
All this Is true. II IL q just impeachment. Why
should not the Irish citizens. who are the leading
experiments after eight years Of patient trial, OBJ
lec to the continued leadership OF the man OF whom
such an impeachment can be made' Why should
they not object indeedY They do object; and their
objection one which it Is not safe to disregard.
And for the CHAIR, filled by this nnnaturalized
Belgian banker, the Irish citizens have competent
choice. That man Is Mr. William M. Tweed. The
Irish citizens as resolutions" published in the
HERALD OF to-day prove, have liked on nm. 1t
Ia a good, skilful, a judicious choice. Tammsny
has made Mr.. Tweed its Grand Sachem on account
OF his political talents and popularity. II rs for the
same reasons, considered in themselves purely and
10 all their relations the Irish citizens have turned
their regards upon him. Tammany did not give the
dent one altogether. Tammany did not suggest or
Whisper; but 1t mad better follow. Tammany has
extraordinary power; but 1t has power sufYlcient
to justly II IN running counter TO the Irish choice OF
Tweed.
The irish citizens have taken careful, elaborate
measure OF Mr., Iweed They have found him true
to his werd Of honor, thoroughly devoted to the
party popular with all the citizens, able to speak,
able 10 writ, abe 10 originate, competent to man
age aud crowned witt success. These are the cri-
terra by which the Irish citizens have measured Mr.
Tweed.
This game Is up The Irish citizens decline 10

They look on him with extreme political nausea ana
