A few years ago an Irishman way a8 orthodox In his Democratic faith as In his religious creed. Indeed, with im to vote the Republican ticket was a crime of sich a‘helnous natire ns almost to ostracize hin fron ‘fellowship with his countrymen, This state of things was partly produced from the Copperhend, teaching of prominent Democratic leaders who were in sympathy with the-South in their rebelllon, ‘Lhe; egjoled the unthinking elasses of the Irish into the belief that the War was gotten up by the: Republlewns, in order to enrich’ them- selves Individually and to centralize power in their party, aud that they intended to wage the war at the sacrifice ofthe German and Irish homigrants whb landed on our shores, ‘and consequently the Republicans wero. tho avowed enemies of the poor man and of his rights and Iberties, They furthor impressed upon them tho idea: that the Re- publicans were resolved’ to elevate tho colored inan above the poor class of white people, and that -the emanelpation of one mice would be the certain enstayement anc degradation of the other. “Such pernicious doctrines found ready favor with men not jntelligent enough to comprehend the situa. flon_ themselves, and only for. tho. pntriotic efforts of Archbishop - Hughes and other brave men, whoso heart and soul were with tha Union, a stignin of disloyalty would | lave rested on the Jrish “name which ayen the gallant services of the Irish Brigade, the .

Almost. overy rumscller in the elty was a sinccurist, and was able to procure employment on the streets or parks for Inborers wid mechanies, The latter, of course, in return voted the Democratic ticket in order to keep their friend ond thomselves in office, and spont their: wages in drunken-curousals in their patron’s gln-mill. All this wag ng repugnant to intelligent Irishmen as to any other class of citizens, but they were una- ls to, check it, and, in ‘fact, were kept in such terror by political bullittozers at they were even afraid to vote accord~ Ing to their priuetples and cotivictlons, © ‘This tlate of things ling been changed; every matris free to-day ta_vote ay he pleases, and to express his ‘preference ‘for whom he pleases: Intelligence has taken tho place of ignorance, reason of blind obedience, and self-respect of political subservienvy, ‘Tho thinking portion of our fellow Irish eltizens Bre every year becoming more imbued with idea Miat no political party should own them or have a vested Interest in thelr votes, and are .consequently ready and willing to ots for the zeandidate and party that, in thelr opinion, are the most Ilkely to promote the general interests of the country, and to keep alive and foster true republican _doc- nes and principles.

Itisa curious fact, as the author of this poem remarks In tho preface, “that among us, English-speaking people, scholarly in- vestigation lias clung rather to the elnsstc lore and mythology of Grececand Rome than to the less classic, but far purer and truer, religion of the North.” But itis still more curious that persons who have undertaken to expound Norse iiterature should know su Nettle what they are writing of. Tho present author, for instanee, insists upon resem- lances between the Scandinavinn atid tho Christinn scliemnes that to anost otherininds must sce purcly fanciful. ‘Can we not,” sho inquires, ‘Seo Baldur, see an Image, faint perhaps, of that pure Oneon whom, too, Innocence brooded ilke a dove,—the Christ slain by that Iscarfot who purposed not his death, but basely sold him for tho reward of betrayal?” Frankly speaking, No; woecannot, Jer testimony ns to * the unswerving temperance and morality of the Northen fs atso contradicted by witnesses far more competent than she. ‘Valhalla It- self has not been, in song or story, the abodes of the purest pleasures; nnd, though this poem might change the typical idea, ft could not alter the historical literature of the sub- ject. ‘Tho error of thoss who hays written most on Scandinavian mythology for com- imon reading {s, a8 16 seems to us, two-fold, First, they’ have been too didactic; and, secondly, they have been too speelfic.
