The Irish people, warm-hearted, generous, and sympathizing with the oppressed everywhere, when they stand upon their own green island, are instantly taught, on arriving in this Christian country, to hate and despise the colored people.

They are taught to believe that we eat the bread which of right belongs to them.

The cruel lie is told the Irish, that our adversity is essential to their prosperity.

Sir, the Irish-American will find out his mistake one day.

He will find that in assuming our avocation he also has assumed our degradation.
