Memphis daily appeal. [volume] (Memphis, Tenn.) 1847-1886, 1871-02-24

THE Administration has receI
been playing the demagOgUe il
small way. 1t is known that
Radicals detest the Irish people
cause they are almost iuvaria
Democrats. The Southern PEG
have been subjected to the same O
RACES, wrongs and prosecutions VIII
Ireland has so long endured, and it
natural for the Irish to sympath
with the South. Common sUteriI
and a common fate has caused
Irish people to lavish all the aflueI
Of their deep sympathy upon the
pressed and dOwn-trOdden South, {
to cast a solid vote for the Democrs
party. This fact has provoked
enmity Of the Radical party, and
three years the Radical Congress
been passing laws throwing every
pedlment in the way to prevent
eigners from voting. The Radio
sneer at the Irish, assert that
Democratic MAJORITY in New York
generally been accomplished by
gal votes cast by the Irish. But Or
and the Radicals have recen
changed their tactics. They h;
commenced an effort to c%Onciiate
Democratic Irish and to win til
from their allegiance to the SOUTH
people. Since the Irish eXiles f
landed upon the American soil,
Administration and its hired miniI
have manifested the most contemI
bic toadyism. The Radical pol
ticians have received them with Il
obsequiOus hankyism which the snC
and shOddyites of Boston receive

Gals extending sympathy to Irish e
lies! What hypocrisy. Grant is stan.

necks Of the Southern people; requir
them to smile while he is grindi
