GENTLEMEN: ask the insertion of the enco-
sed lines from New York paper, hot because OF
their intrinsic beauty alone, butbecause they pour
tray in touching melody, that strength OF feelng
with which all men, but especially lrishmen, re-
member not only "Me red-breasfea daiSaes lhd
spangle the felds," but every tree they have
climbed and every rock they have bounded over,
in their natire land. How truly does the poet
say that :" his hearts III old Ireland wherever ne
goes" And the sentiment lives in the heart of
every man. Say what he will, every foreigner
in this country, whether native of England,
France, Spain, Germany, or Ireland, chershes
corresponding sentiment in the inmost recesses of
his heart Pluck out this love of native land from
the heart OF man, and you pluck out the heart it.
self. He who ceases TO cherish this fine feeling,
ceases TO be man and becomes monster, hate
full to himself and dangerous to society. And yet.
because you have asserted this great truth, and the
Native American Association seek to induce their
countrymen to act upon this salutary and sanitory
principle, we have seen, and still see, foreigners
of all ranks, from the smaterer of Greek and La
tin in college halls to the miserable victims of the
grog shop, senselessly lash themselves into a
phrenzy, and overwhelm you and the Association
with abuse and billingsgate. Not an lrishman
who peruses the lines send you, but whose eye
will be moistened with tear but still he will
have the bodness to assert, even while weeping
for the home he has left, that he loves this country
better than his o,cn. Credat mdeus apella, non
ego; or, in plain English, ''Tell that TO marines,
sailors wont believe it," No, gentlemen. we cn'-
not believe it; as Jack Downing says, "Hs agin
all nature" Go on, then, pursue your course
with temper, but with frmness; disregard the
SCOTS and sneers of demagogues, and the revilngs
of foreigners; and, before very long, the whole
mass of the American people will applaud and
unite with you, and even foreigners themselves,
when they come TO their senses, and look calmly
forward to the true interest of their own children,
will approve your doctrines.
