An Attack and Defense.

Az aANNeANA 1870
For some time change for the worse
has been noted in the GLOBES WEAKLY
contemporary, the Washington Mirror
On INQUIRY the cause was ascertained to be
a change in the editorial department, the
accomplished and veteran Durham having
been succeeded by an A. P. A. specimen Of
concentrated ignorance and prejudice This
caricature upon journalism signalized his
elevation to the tripod by lying, vulgar
and pro- British assault upon Ireland and
Irishmen This toady, lickspittle and
caterer to the suide society harlots who
parade F street, in criticising the abandon
ment.of the trip to King Edwards corona
ton Of the Presidents daughter, makes
bid for a few extra subscribers at the British
Legation by accusing the Irish Of the United
States, and the Irish of Ireland indirectly
Of anarchy. He says specifically that Ire
land has an honest, enlightened government
but the Irish people do not want that kind
Of government, and he generalizes to the
effect that while he is in doubt as to the
charge that the Irish are opposed to all
governments they are certainly foes Of good
government, law, order and honest admin
istratiou, such as emanates from Dublin
Castle.
The Irish have the distinction Of being the
one race in the modern world who make no
compromise on the issue Of free govern
meut aud Democracy as against IMPERIAL
isM and MONARCHY. They are hated by
the toady, the Aunky, the belly crawler and
degenerate American of the Mirror type
for this very virtue which they so emineistly
possess. In all wars for human liberty the
Irish have led the patriotic aud embattled
hosts, both as soldiers in the field and
champions in the Senate. Edmund Burke,
whose single genius would alone immortal
ize any race giving him birth, stood alone in
Briton's senate house and with the impas-
stoned eloquence Of the Celt advocated the
cause Of the American colonies. His un-
rvaled oration in impeachment Of Warren
Hastings was in behalf Of dowu-trodden
humanity AS was also Sherridan's eloquent
plea for the Princess of Dude. Wherever
the human voice has been heard advocating
liberty the clearest, most eloquent and
elCctrifYing appeals have issued from the
sons of Ireland.
And wherever head-long valor and readi-
ness to offer life itself in behalf of human
liberty has been conspicuously exhibited
the Irish soldier has led the van from Valley
Forge to Magerfonstein. Here is the latest
tribute to the gallant libertyloving and
dauntless Irish race, taken from the press
dispatches Of Thursday last:
NEW YORK, March I9.-Messrs Wolma.
rams and Vessels, the Boer ENJOYS, will
sail for France tomorrow morning on the
steamship la Gascogne. Mr.. Wolmarans
said in the course OF an interview tonight
While we have been in this county il
has been said that our alliance with the
Irish has hurt our cause. On the eve oi
our return we must deny that statement
and declare that the alliance has beer
profitable to us, both on the battlefield
and by the fight which is being waged foi
us by the Irish members in the English
house of Parliament. First, we have tC
thank the Dutch, next the Irish, and ther
the Germans.
First-the Dutch, aud next the Irish
even ahead of the cousins Of the Beers, the
Cermansl Thus the Irish Catholic nation
rushes 10 the aid and assistance of the Bible
reading Protestant Boer, whom Protestant
England is trying to exterminate and
Protestant America is permitting to perish
without extending a friendly or a saving
hand And yet but few years ago the A
P. A. colleagues of the editor of the Migy0J
were proclaiming the superior loyalty o.
Protestant bigots to this Republic and de
nouucing CatholicitY as the foe of liberty
especially Irish Catholicityl
Two thirds of Washington's army were
Irishmen and Catholics as the British
official records prove-aud to-day th'
Irish soldier is conspicuous on South
African battlefelds fighting side by sid,
with the heroic Boer.
The Irish soldier and the Irish orator
writer, statesman and politician is ever OF
the side of human liberty and the champion
v and ally of people struggling for libert!
without reference to their religion or ma
tionality and the Irish.American million
are the bulwark, the hope and and the guar
antee Of the perpetuity Of the American
Republic.
And for this they are hated and maligue
by degenerate Americans who would sci
their country, as many have their daughters
for titles which have been the reward O
prostitution among women and murder
and assassinstions among men in ever
monarchy Of Europe
