This b no Deprive character, bat jwitive, wherever found loves lib drum, loves an 1 honors woman, loves ltix country, and fears nothing but his ukI. lie is nR st nbborn as a jackass in a snow fsiorra, snd as bard to turn as a Texas Mizzard. The prayer of John Knox for his country was, "Oh, Lord, may the Scotch ever be rigty; for right ir wrong iht deyil kin tin turn him." LeJmnon 1ms quite a sprinkling of this dement In her midst, and they are no moan factor in society wherever fouud. Tliis race is peculiar for two traits of t havacter which can be aceoui tud for by their history pugnacity and piety. Your Scotch-Irishman is as ready for a prayer meeting 8 he is for a battle, end as ready for a pip ss he Is for a prayer. Rome incline more utrong'.y to the one mode of spiritual exercise than to the other, but no true Scoteh-Irisu-man stands back wheu be has an invi tation to either. They came to this country in two streams, one reaching J he Carolina) and spreading into Vir rfuia. The McCormick family U from tfcat branch. The other stream came to Pennsylvania, of which the writer f this ia Scotch-Irish through and through. That account for it. And In nee it becomes us to speak m-.leftly f the blood. If acyl-ody spcuks d rrmotfu!ly of Fwteh-lii-hnien they v, iii thrash him or pray for bun. vLicb wr he seems to need most. Ii i.-- a fa vorlj luaxitn with us that us ti.ut the thrashing, in the order of nature ami crace, goea before the praying, and thsf is the mode of procedure most ia favor with our people. JCow the inter esting question is bow the race came by their two leadiK traits of charac ter. We BurjioT that ia brief tonus it msy be au explanation that the origi nal coU were Irish.

EDITOK EXPRESS:-t I was souiewbut taken by surprise, at Mr. Parker's reply as I expected him to cut the white laborer up. But he has failed to prove his assertions about the Chinese being superior to white la labor In the construction of rnllmuds or in the derating department.. An other point 1 wish to inform Mr. Park er on, and that Is this, why the rail roads employ Chinese. It is bvcause they use the Chinese as a weapon to keep white labor down and pay white labor starving wages, as Parker is cog nizant of the fact, us they cau depend on him every time to manufacture public opinion in their behalf, no mat ter bow oppressive they may act to wards the white laborer. As to Mr. Anderson k, the Canadian Pacific railrod contractor, he could not help himself, as be bad uade a written contract with the Chinese six compa nies, but bis mistake may Iks attribu ted to mis advisors, of which I have no doubt. Mr. Parker would like to have the same chance anythlug to make nmiey. As to Parker's birth-place, that I will not question, but I will say thU, thi;l I will find men who were born in the humblest cabins niore honorable in their dealings with the public than men like Parker, who ha.? the good fortune to he born with a siUvr sjxion in their mouth. uc.h was the owe with Benedict Arnold and all of his stripe. As to myself seeking or running f r office, it is the fiit time I have ever len accused (if such a thing. Certain ly J.r. Parker would not vote fir a wmnii-n laborer, for he plainly shows bis enmity to common laborers. Now, Mr. Parker, your luefhisl of evading; the main question at issue by flaying I am an office sttker shows plainly the low spirit with which you are anima ted. You claimed everything in favor of Chinese. ov all you know is to sling mud. You say there is no posi tion the railroad company has that you would take. Well, theu you rnu.it W a farmer, and a!.' you want is to get low freights uud a free pass in ca.-e you should deny this. Well then, what ! was your motive lo write such a letter cbusing white lalsir? Ah, my boy, yon have been trapjjed at your dirty work, M hich I have no doubt you are competent of doitifr. Parker wind up wi:h that I ira lifty derei.-s Is low hiiicni.tc'irijit.
