[From the Toledo Blade.] MR. KASBY SUGGESTS A PLAN FOR THE redemption of th* ckltic rack. Mahtbh's Corners, Mispiuon Hundbrd, 1 in the State ut Delaware, V Jane 12, 1870. | Knowin ez I did that the reel objick uv the Cansjen invashens by the Fenian Head-Centres wuz to account for the money they bed collectid uv the labrors and servant girls uv that nashnality, I wuz disposed to look favorably onto em. Ez two Hed-Centres were constant patrons uv my bar in Noo York, and ez they alluz bed money to pay their bills, I wuz faverbly inclined to anything they did, or mite do, wich wood continyoo em in that state uv earthly riches. But the result uv the last raid revcels a danger ahead, and I hereby enter spy solium protest agin any more nv em. The danger to which I refer is the final absorpshen uv Canady by the Yoonitid States. This nerpetchaooel worryin uv the Canajcns by these raids will compel em to seek perteckshen therefrom by comin under the folds of the flag, and then comes evils wich shorhsitid men hev never dreamed uv. Some Democrats hev argood to me that the accession to thi3 Yoonyun uv the half breed Injins and Canajen French, wich can’t read, wood be a benefit to the Dimocrisy, ez they wood inevitably drift into our ranks. This is doubtless troo, but our first dooty is to the Dimocrisy we hev. In the event uv the annexashen uv Canady where cood the young Dimocrisy wich hev a constooshnel avershun to the sheddin uv blaod, rrtikelerly uv ther own blood, where, say, cood they rush to for shelter ? What, I ask, wood hev become uv the Dimocrisy doorin the drafts doorin the years uv 1’863-4, hed not Canady afforditl em a safe and secoor shelter? Troo, they might have gone to Cuby, but they can’t swim onalog from the Yoonited States to Cuby, ez they did across the Detroit River. Then agin, es Canady is annexed, where kin gentlemen in Noo York who combine burglary with politics, find refuge after the venchers they make, and while the minyuns uv the law is close behind em? The annexashen of Canady wood be a blow at the life uv Dimocrisy from wich it cood scarcely recover. No! we must take no steps wich look toward the absorption uv Canady. I hev an undyfn admirashtn for the Irish charakter and sympathize fully with it in all its aspirashens. The intense burnin desire uv the Irish in Ameriky to deliver their kinsmen at home from the heel uv the oppressor, is only ekalled by ther desire to hev some other race under ther heel here. Their hatred uv the English wich oppress them is only ekalled by their hatred uv the nigger wich they grind, or rather wood grind here, es twant for the ojus abolishnists wich interferes to prevent em. The Irish idea uv Dimocrisy pleases me, and soothes me. It is a standin protest agin every form uv tyranny, ceptm when nicy are the tyrants They object to nigger drivin only when they are the niggers, wich is the precise article uv DHbocnsy we hev been runnin in this country lor forty years Devin paid this triboot to their fidelity ez Dimocrats, I shel now sejest a change in ther tactics.

There is but one hope for Ireland, and that is emigrashen. Let the Fenian circles instid uv squandrin their money on raids, build ships and give all their countrymen free passage to this country. Let them which desires to wait at hotels and black boots and sich, settle in Noo York, and them which is agricultoorally disposed, come here to Delaware. Let em abandon Ireland forever, and erect their shanties in this new world, where they are not only ez good ez natives, but a good deal better. Wat a prospeck is held out to em I In Noo York they not only vote, but become eligible to offis the mimt they land. Eligible to vote did I say f Why I hev seen em git off a ship the mornin ov eleckshun and vote ten times before nite, gittin two dollars per vote and free whisky. Kia they do ez well ez that in Ireland ? Spozen thay hed the -Green lie wrested from the hands uv the British despots, wood they be permited to vote ten times at each eleckshun, and cood they git so high a price for the service ? I don’t bleve it. We want the agricultooral porshen uv em here in Delaware to offset the nigger Ivote: Only by increest Irish emigrashnn kin we retain control of Delaware. We can’t get hold uv the niggers. The cusses are learning to read; there are preachers, and laymen wich tun Snnday skools, at work among em, and they stand a solid phalanx opposed to the Dimocrisy. We want the Irish to offset em, and Delaware is ther troo paradise. We her no free skools to bother em, which give their pandual system unUrnitid sway. We bey supreme control

now, and to rev* It an prepared to maka votln Jlst ez profitable « in Noo York, and more so, beoos we her in Wilmington a parcel uv radlkel manufekterers end merchants wich We wood list ex soon tax ez not, and to any extent. We must hev em Settled in Delaware, for we cant transport em from Noo York to Delaware to vote ez we do In Connecticut, for the dlatanoe is too great. We kin carry Noo Jeraey and Pennsylvania that way, but not Delaware. With Noo York, dty and State, Connecticut, Noo Jersey, Pennsylvany and Delaware oontrolled m this way, why ahood not the Pope ut Rome be lndooet to take up his residence in Noo Jersey, when Italy, Spain and Austry git too progressive to give him shelter ? And then we wood nev it ez we want it We wood hev here lu our midst the authority to keep our voters strate; with the Pope in site to hurl anathemas agin them wich wander, we cood depend on a square pull at every eleckshon, no matter wat the platform mite be, or wat the party managers dedded to hev ns throw up our hats and howl for. I sling this aejestion ont for wat its worth. Es there r a any Iriah which still hev a weakeeas for tha old sod, we kin make an Ireland ut this country. The name of Noo York cood be changed to Noo Dublin by simply aakin Tweed to do it, and es he woodent* they kin vote him down ez they do everything else,'and a law cood be passed makin the drinkin uv anything but whisky, and the smoken uv anything but short pipes a felony. They her already the half uv the skool money in the state uv Noo York-the balance uv it they kin git ez soon ez they say so. They kin bring with em the harp that wunst thro halls its sole uv moosieshed, and there is list ez much space for Orangemen and Riftbonmen to flte here ez ther, and back uv it all they hev the vast body u v Amerikans, and Germans, and Sweeds and sich to tax to keep em up. Ths Irishman who kin git to Ameriky who stays in Ireland is an eggrejis ass. Let this skeme be to-wunst put in operashun and all Ireland is freed.
