On our first page will be found an in* teresting extract fiom a letter written to the editors of the New York Recorder , •by their Correspondent in England. We; ask ounreaders to give -it a-careful perns, al, and weigh well its contents, then dorm a cool and dispassionate judgment of* tight and wrong, truth and exaggeration, the oppressed and oppressor. , The American people have long teen . in the habit of idolising every refugee irom a foreign land, who has made f*im. aelf-conspicuous—conspicuous for what ? CfTtainly for no good they have ev r done, hut for causing those they left behind to suffer ten-fold more oppression thun be fore-endured, by drawing them into lhei r wild and precipitate schemes against the powers that be. They scatce set foot on the soil of free America before our Tens laud to the skies and make a hero nfl every jackanapes who fails to overthrow! his government, or be considered greeter! than his monarch. Monarc hiaj governments have their eirtueß as well as their vices; we have nothing to say for them, and just as little in favor of aspiring demagogues who seek to make their way to exalted stations by Vends, mvO Inducing the ignor Wmt and unwary to infringe the lawsct peace and order. There can be but little doubt entertained that three fourths of the misery and starvation with which Ireland is cursed, is brought on that Priest-ridden country by and through the intemperance and misconduct of the people. Let the larder be full or empty, the lower classes* of the Irish will have their whiskey : and * • * this insatiate love of the cratur brings ma- i ny to want for food and raiment. They, are brought up to it from their infancy, and can no more think of depriving them selves of it than the people of this conn* try can think of denying themselves tea and coffee. They bring on their own misery and degradation, and like our common drunkards run into excesses, and then seek to screen themselves by imptr'i ting their conduct to their wife or friends, when in fact there is not the shadow’ of a foundation for the accusation. It is, and always has been acknowledg ed by those who have sense enough to appreciate true merit, that the present Queen, Victoria, is the most philanthrop ic, humane and virtuous that ever wore the crown of England; yet they are not satisfied. And why ? because they are Priest ridden, and led to believe rani cally oppressed ; when, at the same time* -England has almost ruined herself by en deavoring to ameliorate the condition of this rebellious child. We believe, and the fractious charac ter of the Irish fully prove, that they are not capable of self-government, nor eve r will be, bo long as religious Cwids exist in the country, an£ j made a part of their po litical creed. The political demagogues who desire a c\\a n g e Q f government, could not make it n y better, nor yet form so good a one as v\**t under which they now live; to accom|.\\*h this end. and prove predominant, it requires men or well established character an&uability to act as leaders, otherwise all atw m pt s will prove futile, as heretofore, the great misfortune of Ireland is, the has ever been split up in factions, and those i factions headed by priests or third rate lawyers, who have no influence out of the ranks of the ignorant and abandoned. So long as Priestcraft prevails, so long wilt’lreland remain as she is; and so long as American citizens -lionize every iraitor who puts foot on -our shores, so long will “there be attempts at rebellion— whether any just cause exist*or not# , Sympalliy is an excellent trait in the bamanctt&racter, but out people should not let passion gain the ascendency op reason, nor yet be so lavish rtf this god like qualification.as ttfearry it'to extremes without knowing the true state of affairs. ; The grandest ami most ■■unprincipled scoundrels in the world “ make th poor est faces,’* and are ever striving (o * xcite commiseration, when, in fact, justice tie. mands the reverse. Ireland has an internal enemy which does, and always will do her more harm than Qieen Victoria, or ad otberqueen* that my hereafter occupy the removethis enemy and Irelacvd is free— burdm her al ,4; ; -'-X..- ■ ~ Hjy able to Tempe Ant has often been urg ed that theysons of Temperance done no is a false notion, andean be easily by any man of dis cernment who will look hack twelve short months! and see the difference then and now, snHhose who are destined to play an activfc part in the.scenes of this fife a few yeirs hence.

While a member ot Congress it was a matter of surprise to many friends to Judge Iverson who knew so well his brilliant powers as an orator, tha* he never disturbed the pro ceedings with a speech. But when the proper time arrived he arose and electri fied the house with an effect that will long be remembered and pheiished by the p.uty who honered him with its guardian ship. and more immediate friends and constituents who reposed in his keeping their most sacred rights. Judge Iverson is an admirer of the President and firm supporter of his administration.
