931 - L Dec. 1:4/4, 5 - The St. Andrew's society celebrated its 19th
anniversary last night, at Chapin's hall. The festival was largely
attended, and the hall was decorated with banners and flags. The banquet
was prepared by S. W. Garrett. Mr. Denham, president of the society,
called the assembly to order.
A toast, "Scotland and America, our native and adopted Homes," was
responded to by Mr. McReynolds in a pithy, ringing speech. He said that
Scotchmen came to this country from choice, not from necessity. He
boasted that half the blood in his veins was Scotch, but he was called
an Irishman because he was born in Ireland. Another toast, "Cleveland
with its Mayor and Authorities," was responded to by the band, which
rendered "Home, Sweet Home." John Proudfoot then read a capital metri-
cal report of the society for 1864. (25)

1087 - L Aug. 22; ed: 3/2 - The large and increasing emigration from Great
Britain and Ireland to the United States, and the enlistment of many im-
migrants in the Union army is causing much comment and discussion in the
British parliament.
In a speech Lord Howard says that the U. S. government has recruit-
ing agents on emigrant ships; also, that Englishmen, permitted to get
drunk on arrival in this country, have entered the Union forces to their
regret. "Such outrages are not confined to foreigners, however, and we
wish that means could be taken to stop them. We have failed to discover
any case that any state or federal officer had knowingly forced an emigrant
against his will into service, and as long as good land and high wages are
more easily obtained in this country than in England, there will not be
wanting Englishmen, Irishmen and other Europeans ready to avail themselves
of the offered advantages." (13)

2405 - L. June 27; ed: 2/1 - An English paper says that those miscreants who
hurry from Germany and Ireland to clutch the blood money of Stanton, and
hire themselves out to mercenary murderers in a foreign quarrel, are the
proper food for powder. -
"John (Bull) has undoubtedly forgotten the days when he employed the
Indians to fight us, and paid the sum of one pound for every scalp taken
from our revolutionary forefathers." (5)
