These Mugwump. are English and Free Trader, >,

cause he is an American.
Free Trade and Cheap Labor" is their motto NAM.
Ward Beecher, Horper's Weekly The Times aud Posthays
openly pronounced these watch words.
They would destroy the diversified industries OF this
country and reduce the Unedstates plantation sSs
market for English manufactures.
Now In view Of tho complicated situation OF afsir,,
this State OF NowYork-itis the Mugwumps that CAUSE

tries, while the Democratic party az such, is virtually
the party OF English freetrade, and these facts aone
no other reason forthcoming, ought to preyens
Irish PrOtectlOnsts from taking retrogressve stem
The English-American Free-Iraders-the Mugwumpsr
were logical and consistent though they not VERY
honest In their going over 10 the Democratic party s
year the Irish AmerIcan Proteetionists were eouaIy
logical and entirely honest in their action
But to put the question In direct and simple form and
for practical purposes, How should we this else
ton For which canaidate-Iill or Davenport wrh
dcOeration and profound sense OF the respon.
sibty that attaches to our uterance, we 70 every
citizen this stats VINO mas uOubL 10 Ia
shnud do on election day and who would like to baye
The irish WOriFS adyise-votc on Tuesday next Tor
David Il. Hin. . BY this action We do not want 10
be unders TODD indorslng the Democratic party Nor
is Mr. Hill our choice. The LtSh World stands precisely
to-day where it stO3d last year and the battle were
be fought again, with James g. Blaine captain
we should be found fighting under his banner with what
energy we possess and with the same zeal that We
then put forth. Once more let MS say that In
advising friends to vote for Mr. Hill we do want
them TO ago back " to the Democratic party. We 10
not want them find Judgment in that party The Ouy
alternative given Is either not To vote all to use
our vote rs u stick to beat those Mug yump dogs.
The party OF Projection let 1t be repeated agan and
agaiu il the party TO which all American w0rkngmen
and especially all Irsh-Amcrlcans, should give their
support. If Davenport win the Mugwunps viii
claim and get the credit And II the Mugwumps win
what then Will become Of the Party OF Protection /
There will be standing their nsoence and their die
tatiun after that.
t. IL would he bad enough TO have the Mugwumps coma
over to the Republican party but becomes ntoleTabo
when tue Republican party over u tie Mugwums
and that IS about what has happened here IN NewlOsI
I'm the interest OF Protection then, III the Interest OF the
Rcpublicap party tsef-OOEng 10 its purncatOn and
consistency and harmony essential TO Us future well.
