For au Irish Democrat to become a republican
involves like sacrifice of principles or political
opinious. There is hardly plank In tho plat
form Of both parties that is not the same. The
crest distinguishing point between the Repub-
Ncaps and Democrats Ia. that the Democrats have
found IN alliance with traitors In &he South and
With enemies In England. That the leaders of
the Democratic party in the South are hostile to
this untry. its integrity and nationality, has,
think. been sufficiently proved; will therefore,
not dwell on It Besides. looking on this matter
from purely Irish standpoint, the hostility OF
the South to the country at large is an outside
issue But, II can prove that England as
whole, its Government, Its ruling classes, and.
with very: few exceptions. its representative
men, have been from time 1mmemorial, and are
to-day, deeply hostile to the integrity and we'll
being Of America,-and II I can prove that Eu-
gland favoEs the return OF the Democrats to
porer,-1 shall have shown something that
ought to make an Irish Nationalist pause be-
fore be Gusts his vote with the same party for
which all England would vote tomorrow II che
could.
Twas travelling through England during the
years 1868, ~, and '6S and ought to know some
thing about public opinion there during the

much to say that the .e3s4ze nation was filed
with one great absorbing tden,-and that was
that the END Of the United States had come; and
the idea

Il may be asked. Why does England side with
the Democrats? The reasen is very plain: En-
eland wants to have her manufactures admitted
70 this country duty free, or nearly so, IN order
that her own operatives may be lin clover"
t: she wants = a revision Of the existing tariff"
Who in America would suffer most by reduo-
hon Of the duties on foreign rnanufacrures2
-: THE IRISH UNDOUBTEDLY,
because, beyond all other naHona1itteB on this
Continent, they are sno'xefs. Thke, for instance,
ah the New England mills and mauufactories OF
various kinds. and l guarantee that there are
more lrish hands employed in them than there
eof all other foreign natlonAllties put to-
&eeher. Just think OF such men voting the
Democratic ticket! It would be only serving
