T. From the LQulsiania-ts- - :" y.
The Lrish..-It is most true that during the late


excitement, we did espouse the part of the Irish


portion of our fellow citizens, because we know


large majority Of them are firm democrats-6e-
cause we thought they had been unjustly assa-
ed-and because we number many of them among
our personal friends. As to the charge which has
been made that we intended 10 turn the excitement
to political account, it is certainly well founded.


We cndeavored to convince the Irish, whose
training and feelings strongly incline them towards
democracy, that the iederalisls, as a party, arc
radically, and from the nature Of things, hostile
to them; and to impress upon their minds that
the aspersions Of Mr.. Peyton are mere repeti-
tion of what has been uttered thousand times by
the federal presses. In this way we wished TO
turn the excitement TO political acconnf-thatis, is,
by showing them the inconsistency of ad!erin G.
to party, by whose orators and presses lthey
are hahi,uaIly reviled. After this, should any
portion of the Irish still be found in the federal
ranks. we can only regret it-This is a free coun-
try. where every man may entertain whatever
opinion pleases him best.
