The democratic party, from the
foundation of the government, has
been the unwavering advocate of equal
rights and of foreign emigration to the
UnltedStates. The democracy of Texas
always gave the highest inducement to
foreign emigration. Under the dis
guises of the war the old Puritanical
federal party misled many foreign
born citizens for time, on the sole
question of the "union'' and freedom
for the negro. That Is all passed The

ST. PATRICK's DAY-SOMETHING
OF THE IRISH APOSTLE.

Wherever the English, French or
Spanish language Is spoken, and In all
Catholic countries, the name of st.
Patrick, the apostle Of Ireland, Is
known and honored, and, TO large
extent, revercd. Many popular fala-
cies exist In regard to him, but, by the
concurrent testimony of christian
writer's, both Catholic and Protestant,
he IL justly entitled TO be called the
apostle of Ireland, and one Of the most
remarkable and holy men who ever
carried the cross of Christ into heather
or pagan understandable In his his
tory--great in his abilities, and, with
the greatest mcckness of spirit, COM
bined the most exalted courage. IN
deed, his whole missionary career
seems to- have been sustained by that
reliance ON the arm of God which
makes the feeblcst of men illustrious
in moral heroism.
The birth place of st. Patrick is in
volved in some doubt, but ii is believed
he was born in Armoric- Brittany,
Gaul, near the site of the present city
of Bou!ogne, about the year A. ID. 1857.
In his sixteenth year he was carried
captive into Ireland, and held for some
time. After his release he returned to
his native country, studied for the
ministry, and, being fired by holy
zeal to reclaim his late captors from
paganism he commenced his labors
In Ireland, as is believed about the
year 432.
From that time to his death, Oh the
18th of March, 4G5, his whole soul was
devoted to his great work, and was
crowned with such success as not only
to cmbalm his memory in the hearts
of the nation he had redeemed, but
afterwards to become its patron saint.
That st. Patrick was an apostolic
man is acknowledged by all men who
profess christianity. In Ireland his
name has been talisman Of joy, graft
tude and veneration ever since his
death, fourteen hundred and nine
years ago. The day Of his death
March ~ has always been regarded
as his natal day, rather than the day
of his birth, ON the accepted ground
that as he ceased to breathe on earth,
he was born anew in heaven.
st. Patrick, though not strictly the
first christian to plant the cross in
England, was preeminently the great
light who carried the gospel Of Christ
as well into the huts Of the poor as into
the palaces Of the ancient Irish kings.
He converted the kings and noble
families of Meath, Connaught, Done
gal, Sligo, Derry, Ulster, Leinster,
Munster and other places. His whole
life at that time is Illuminated with the
brightest Illustrations of pious devotion
and fearless adherence to duty.
The last years of his life were chiefly
spent at Armagh and Soul, in the
county Down, where he departed this
life March 18th, A. ID. 465. A great
writer says, ''he is justly celebrated as
the apostle of Ireland"

ST. pATRICK's HYMN.


After escaping a great danger, il
which he and his trusty followers
seemed providentially saved, st. Pat.
rick composed, in the ancient Irish
language, the celebrated hymn, some
times called Fsthfddhd, and some
times 81. Rdtricks B,eastp,dte. The
original manuscript of this hymn is
preserved in the library of Trinity col
lege, Dublin. AS perhaps few persons
among our readers ever saw this an
cient and rare document, we subioin it
in full at the conclusion of this article.
The fidelity, then, with which Irish
men everywhere celebrate the an
nual return of St. Patrick's day, on the
18th of March, is fact honorable to
that nation, and illustrates their devo-
tion to those things held by them
In respect or veneration. The
faith that still venerates the
patron saint of their country, after the
lapse of fourteen centuries, Is typical
in an earthly point of view, in their
steadfast opposition to a union with
England, and promises to be perpet-
uated with the same tenacity to the
end.
In Keeping with this time honored
custom, the Irish of Dallas, including
the ancient order of Hibernians and
other societies, will duly observe and
celebrate the blessed day on Tuesday
next, March 18th, the ,4O9th anniyer-
sary of the birth of st. Patrick. Due
notice will he givenof the professions.

and claim that others less deserving are fill-
ing fat offices that should be awarded to
them. l.I gG.,- ,a 81.
This sort of demonstration is of the order
called impudent. And yet such impudenee
could hardly be displayed about the White
House and the departments If the Govern
ment had not diminished its own respecta-
bility by the manner it has dispensed public
patronage. If it were not understood that
Offices were the wages of partisans, and that
the standard of selection for public place
had been degraded so as to reach persons Of
disreputable' character, such delegations as
often "pesler" the Federal Executive would
never appear in Washington. Their shame
less and vulgar clamor for their rewards re-
fleet heavily on the Government.
There are signs Of restlessness among the
"SwissD In other cities. We suspect thatthe
anxiety OF the Republican hacks for Office is
whetted by the knowledge that the Repub!i'
can misrule is nearly at its end, and the hur-
CRY expec tants of reward for services rem
dered despair of getting any official pap or
jobbipg prog if they do not receive it before
the Republicans wind up their sffalrs. The
pressure upon the Executive, therefore, is
little increased in weight.
The Republican horde now demanding
"past-due " Dpensation resemble the heirs
of the deceased. They are pressing for shares
before the administrator closes bis business.
And, like heirs in too many cases, they will
not be satisfied; but will denounce the ad-
mnistrator and depart with excavations Of

The Cheap Transportation Papers.


The report of the Committee on Railways
to the Cheap Transportation Association
the gist of which appeared in yesterdays
Dispatch leans strongly to the idea of the
propriety of Government becoming rail.
road-monger. The usages of foreign 60
vernmeuts are referred TO, especially of
France owning half of the railroads and
controlling them, as examples. The increase
of Government control over the roads is
limited at as remedy for railroad combina-
tions, and the building by Government of
one or more freight roads from the Missis-
sippi to New York evidently is recon-
mended as practicable and beneficial. How
the railroad community may look upon this
latter scheme we may conjecture; but we
are sure that with hardly an exception they
would be delighted to sell out halt their pro-
perry to the Government. Nay, We would
not be surprised if the Government could
buy the whole of them
We cannot look upon these views as any.

every foot of the way from the Atlantic to
the Mississippi is trayersed already BY rail.
roads conducted with great activity. The
Government must be wholly changed and
become thorough despotism before the
views of the committee could be carried out.
The report on canals and water transpor.
tatlon submitted yesterday by Mr.. SOUTH
ALL, of this city, was an able paper. 1t made
o powerful exhibition of the usefulness OF
canals, and their value to society as the reg
ulators and protectors of commerce from
the expressions Of railroad combinations.
He is behind the age, and either prejudiced
or narrow In his views, who fails
to see the indispensable agencies Of
both canals and railroads. Railroad:

arr controlled and operated by private cor,
po.ations, who manage, first of all, for The

4 IN. may run his boat on the canal. A ri
yalry, unquestionsbly, must be carried OF
between canals and railroads; but 1t is fol
the public good. The people themselves
through the water-lipes, fight their own bat
ties TO protect themselves from heavy ex
actions. That's all.
We believe railroads and canals are, pro
perry considered, friends. The Central water
line completed would be the greatest frien,
of the Chesapeake and Ohio railroad. Tn
construction Of the water-line would be th
best thing for the railroad, and the can't
