But, on came forward with a justification,
forsoo ! You say that the Constitution of
America prohibits_ the abolition of Slavery.
Pa! and miserable subterfuge! The Con-
stitu on in America is founded u lithe
‘Declaration of Independence. That lar-
ation published to the, world its lorious prin-
ci ice; that Charter of your. _ om, con-
tained these emphatic words:

“ We hold these truths to be self-evident,—
that all men are created equal; that they are
endowed by the Creator with certain inalien-
able rights; that amongst those are life, lib-
erty. and pursuit of 11!? mom" and the.
conclusion of that address: in these words:

“Fer the support of this Declaration, with
a firm reliance on the protection of Divine
Providence, we. mutually pied to each
other our lives, our fortunes, an our sacred
honor.” _

1 when is American honor for you ! There
is a profane allusiouto the adorable Creator!

Recollect that the Declaration does not
limit the equality of man, or the r ts to

life and liberty. to the white. to the, wn,
me to the copper—cglored races. It includes

no 3 . .

.Wc do not design to at , ewith you on
the terms of the American nstitution; and
yet we cannothelp asserting that, in that
Constitution, the word “Slavery," or
“Slave," is not to be found. There are, in-
dwd, the words “persons bound to labor,”
but it Is not'said howbound. And a consti-
tutional lawyer .or _ Judge, construing the
American Constitution with a reference to
the Declaration of Independence which is
its basis, would not hesitate to decide that
“bound to labor” cough, in a court of jus-
tice, to mean ‘-‘ bound 9 y contract to labor ;”
dud alien d not be held to imply “fomd or
compel! to labor," in the absence of all
contract, and for the exclusive benefit of
others.

However, we repeat that we do not ddfi:
to‘argue this point with u, as we procla
to, the world our convict on that no constitu-
tional law can create or sanction Slavery.
Slavery is repugnant to the first principlesof
society; but it .a enough for us to say, as re-
Americans, that it is utterly repugnant

shade of the Temple of their Constitution,

American stalks a tyrant.

The cruelty of the slave principle rests not
there-it goes much further. The poor and
paltry privilege even of prayer is denied
them; and you, even you, pseudo-Irish-_
men! with advocates and vindicstors of
such a system. What! would not you, at

1 We really think that men, who came from

generous and warm-hearted Ireland, should
shrinkinto .nonentity rather than become
the mound defenders of the system
,of -Slavery.'-1 But we trust that the voice of
indignant Ireland will scatter them, and pre-
vent thcmfrom repeating such a crime. .
In another point of view, your address is,
if possible, “more culpable. You state that
before the é-zAbolitionists proclaimed their
.wigh to luvs; Slavery abolished, several
'slaveholdicg. States were preparing for the
gradual emaociiplatiop of their negroes, and
that humane dividuals in other States
were about to adopt similar measures.

-Wc utter-x deny your assertion, and we
defy you to ow any single instance of pre-.
.paratory steps taken by any State for the
emancipation 'of negroes before the Aboli-
tion demand was raised. You violate truth
,in that assertion. There were no sueh‘pie-
parations. It is a pure fiction, invente by
slaveholders out 0 their unjust animosity
to the Abolitionists. It is said that the fear
of Abolition has rendered the slaveholders
more strict, harsh, and cruel, toward their
wretched slaves, and that they would be
more gentle and humane if they were not
afraid of the-Abolitiouists. We repeat that
this is not true, and is merely an attempt to
cast blame on those who would coalease to
put an cud to Negro Slavery.

g- It is futile same spirit that the criminal
‘cajlumniatea- prosecutor, and the felon re:
viles his accuser. It therefore, utterly un-
true that the slaveho ders have made the
chains of the negro more heavy through any
fear of Abolition.
.Yet if you tell the truth, if the fact be that
the ne is made to suffer for the zeal, of the
Aboii onists; if he is treated with increased
cruelty by reason of the taunt of the friends
‘of abolition, then, indeed, the shareholders
must be a truly Satanic rsce. Their conduct,
according to yam-is diabolical. The Aboli-
tionists comm t an ofi'ense3‘and the unhappy
n_ are punished. he Abolitionlate
vio ate“ the law of property, and the penalty
of their "ethnic imposed upon the negro!
Can anything be more ugnant to every
idea of justice ? Yet this is your statement.

We, on the other hand, utterly deny the

truth of your allegations; and where we

' find you calumniate the slaveholder, we be-
come their advocates against your mummy.
You calumniate everybody—slaves, A -
tionists, and elaveholders—fi'smera of Con-
stitutiona'makers of laws-..cveryhody! The
slavebo are not favorites of ours, but
we will 0 men Justice, and will not permit
you .to impute on impossible crime to them.

You tel us, with an air of triumph, that
. ublic opinion, in your country, is the t

w‘giver. If it be so, how much does it en-
hance the guilt of your conduct, that “you
seek to turn public opinion mat the ve
and in favor of'the slaveho der! that you
land the master-as generous and humane,
and disparage, as much as on can, the _un-
happy slave; instead of in uencin ,as Irish-
meu ought to do, the public min in favor
of the oppressed. You carry gout exagger-
ations to a ludicrous pitch, enoting your
utter ignorance of the history of the human

race.

You say that “ the negro is really inferior
as ancc; that Slavery as stamped its de-
basing influence upon the Africans; that be-
tween him and the white—almost a century
would be required to elevate the character
of the one, and to destroy the antipathies of
the other." You add—we use your own
'words-—“ The very odor of the ‘negro is
almost insufferable to the white; and how-
ever much humanity may lament it, we make
no rash declaration when we say the two
races cannot exist together on equal terms
under our ‘ Government and our Institu-
tions.’ ” . ‘

We quote this paragraph at hill length,
because it is re etc wth your mischievous
errors and gull way of thinking. '

In the first place, as to the odor of the no-

we are quite aware that they have not
as yet come to use much of the otto of roses
or can de cologne. But we implore of your
' fastidiousness to recollect that multitudes of
the 'children of white men have negro
women for their mothers; and that our Brit-
ish travelers complain in loud and bitter
terms of the overpowering stench of stale
tobacco spittle as the prevailing “odor ”
among the native free Americans. It would
be, perhaps, better to check this nasal sensi-
bility on both sides, on the of the white
‘as well asof biacka But it is, indeed, do.
plorabie that you should use a ludicrous
assertion of that description as one of the
inducements to prevent the abolition of
Slavery. ‘ The negroes would certainly smell
at least as sweet when free, as they now do,
being slaves. . _

Your important allegation is, that the ne-
groes are, natural! , an inferior race. That
isa totally grst tous assertion upon your

part. In America you can have no op-
portunity of seeing the negro educated.
0n the con , in most of your States it is
scrim Heaven l—a crime to edu-
cate even a use negro! How, then, can you
judge of the negro race. when you see them
despised and condemned by educaud- classes
—reviled and looked down a n as inferior!
The negro race has, not y, some of the
' finest qualities. They are ~ naturalltyagentle,
erous, humane, and very l for
induces. They are as brave an as fearless
as anyothcr o the raceof human beings;
but the blessings of education are kept from
them, and they are ju of, not as they
would be with proper tivation, butas they
are rendered by cruel and debasin o pres-
ence. It is as old as the . days 0 omer,
who truly asserts that the day which sees a
man a slave takes away half his worth.
Slavery actually brutalises human beings.

It is about sixty ears 0 when one of
the Shicks,_not far nth 0 es, in Morocco.
who woe in the habit of accumulating white
slaves, upon being strongly remonstrated
with by a European Power, gave for his re-
ply that, b his own experience, he found it
quite ‘man fest that white men were of an
inferior race, intended by nature for slaves;
and he produced his own brutalized white
slavesfto illustrate the truth of his assertion.
AudacaseofanAmcrlcan, witba historic
name—John Adams—is quite familiar. Some

 

twanty-five _ ago—not more—John,
- Adamswa’s sole survivor otanAmcrla
can crew wrecked on the mean coast. as

wasonly for three years a slave, and the
English and American Consuls havin been
informed of a white man’s slavery, c aimed
him and obtained his liberation. In the
short space ofthree ears he had become
completely brutaliz ; he had completely
forgotten ,the English language, without
ha 3 acquiredthenative mflfueune spoke
skin of gabble, as uninte actual as the:
dialects of most of your negro slaves; and
many months elapsed before he recovered
his former habits and ideas.

It is also a curious fact, as connected with
America, that the children of the Anglo
Saxon race, and of other. Europeans born in
America, were for many years considercdas
a d ' ed'and inferior c ass. Indeed, it was
admitted,nsif it were an axiom, that the
native-hem American was in nothing equal
to his European progenitor; andso ar from
the fact being disputed manyphilosopbic
dissertations were published ‘endeavorin to
accountrfor the alleged d ' cut. he
on! doubt was about the cam of-it. -“No-'
body doubted," to use your own words,
“ that the n‘ativcborn Americans were really ,
an inferior race.” Nobod dares to say so
now and nobody thinks t. Letitthen be
reco ected that youhave never yet seen the
negro educamd. An English traveler through
Brazil, some few years ago, mentions having-
kuown a as re who was a priest, and who
was a learn pious, and exemplary man‘in
his sacredotal functions. We have . been
lately informed of two negroes bein edu-
cated as the Propaganda and or load.
priests—both having distinguished them-
selves in their scientific and theological
course. The French papers say that one of
them celebrated mass, and delivered a short
but able sermonbefore Louis Phillippe. It
IS. believed they have gone out with the
Right Rev. Dr. Baron on the African Mis-
man.

We repeat, therefore, that to ju proper-
ly of the negro, you should see in edu-
cated and treated with the ' 1: due to a
fellow creature—uninsulted the filthy
aristocracy of the skin, and untarnished to
the eye of the white by anyossociations con-
nected-with the state of Slavery.

We‘next refer to your declaration that the
two . , viz., the :black and white, cannot
exist .on equal terms, under our Govern-
ment and yo'ur’institutions. his is an ex-

r'din'ary assertion to be made at the pres-
ent day. You allude, indeed, to Antigua.
and Bermudas. But we will take you to
where the - experiment has been successfully
made upon a large scale—namely, to Ja-
maica.
There the two races are on a perfect eqali-
ty in point of» law; The law does not recog-
nize the slightest distinction between the
races. You have borrowed the far greater
part of your address from the cant phrascol-
ogy which the West Indian slaveowneisand
especially those of Jamaica, made-use of be-
fore emancipation. They used to assert, as
you do new, that abolition meant destruc-
tion- that to give freedom to the negro
wo d be to pronounce the assassination of
the whites; that the negro, as soon as free,
would massacre their tamer owners, and
destroy their wives and families. In short,
your prophesies of the destructive effects of
emancipation are but fiiint and foolish echoes
of the prophetic apprehensions of the Brit-
ish slaveowners. They might, perhaps,
have believed their own assertions, because
thecmancipation of the negroes was then
an untried experiment. But dyou—you are
deprived of any excuse for e reassertion
of a disprovedcalumng.
Theemancipation as taken place—the
compensation given b England was not
given to the negroes, w 0 were the only per-
sons that deserved compensation. It was
giin to the so-called “ owners.” It was an
additional wrongg-an additional cause of ir-
ritation to the negroes; but, gracious
Heaven! how nobly did that goodand kind-
ly race—the negroes—falsify e calumnious
apprehensions of their task-masters! Was
there one single murder consequent on the
emancipation! Was there one riot—one
tumultéev‘en one assault? Was there one.
single white person injured, either in person
or property? Was there any property
spoiled or aid waste? The proportion of
negroes in Jamaica to white men is 800 to
60, or 80‘per cent. Yet the most perfect
tranquilityl has followed the eman'ci tion.
The courts are almost unemp eyed;
nihe-teuthppf the jails are empty and open ;
universal tranquility reigns. Although the
landed proprietors have made use of the
harshest terms by way of rent from the ne-
,1 and have also endeavored to extort from
in the, larfest possible quantit of labor
for the smal est wagesimyet the indly ne-
grorace have not reta ' ted by one single
set of violence or of vengeance; the, two

l

races exist together upon us! terms, under
the British Government, an under British
institutions.

0r shall gen say that the British Govern-
ment and l’ltiSh institutions are preferable
to yours! The vain. and vaporing spirit of
mistaken Republicanism will not permit you
to avow the British superiority. You are
bound, however reluctantly, to admit that
superiority or else to admit the falsity of

our own assertions. Nothin can, in truth,
more ludicrous than our eclaration in
favor of Slavery. It, owever sometimes
rises to the very border of Blasphemy. Your
words are, “ God forbid that we should ad-
vocate ‘ human bondage in any shape.’ "

Oh! shame upon on! How can you take
the name of the Good Creator thus in
vain! What are you doin ? Is not the en-
tire of your address an a vocacy of human
bondage?

Another icce of silliness. You allege
that it is t c abolitionists who make the
slave restless with his condition, and that
they scatter the seeds of discontent. How
can you treat us with such contempt as to
use assertions of .that. kind in youraddress ?
How can you think we could be so devoid
of intelligence as to believe the negro would
not know the miseries of slavery, which he
feels every hour of the four-and-twenty, un-
less he were told by, some abolitionist that
Slaverv was a miserable condition ?

There is nothing that makes us think so

badly of you as your strain of ribaldry in
attacking the Abolitionists. . _ _ _ .
' The desire to (procure abohtion, is, in it-
self, a virtue an deserves our love for its
charitable disposition, as it does respect and
veneration for its courage under favorable
circumstances. Instead of the _ribaldry of
your attack upon the Abchticnists, you
ought to respect and countenance them.
If they err by excessive zeal they err in a
ha! and righteous cause. You would do
we to check their errors and mittigate their
zeal within the bounds of strict propriety.
But if you had the genuine teelin of Irish-
men, you never would confoun their er-
rors with their virtue. In truth we much
fear, or rather we candidly say, we readily
believe that you attribute to them imag-
inary errors for no other reason than that
they really _ one brilliant virtue—
namely, the eve of human frwdom in in-
tenseperfec u.
' Again, we haveto remark that you exeg-
gerate exceedingly when you state that there
are fifteen millions of white population in
America whose security and hap iness is
connected with the maintenance 0 the sys-
tem of negro Slavery.

On contrary, the system of Slavery
inflicts thing but michlef upon the great-
er part of the inhabitants of America. The

only place in which individuals interest is.
connectedwith Slavery are the slavhold-
ing States. New, in those States, without
anexception, (if, indeed, there be any ex-
ception the people of color greotly exceed
the wh tea; and thus, even if an injury were
to be inflicwd on the whites by depriving
them of their slaves, the advantage would
be most abundantly counterbalanced and
compensawd for by the infinitely greater
number of persons who would thus bere-
stored to the test human blessings—p91“
sonalliberty. hustheold Benthamitemaxim
of “ doing the greatest possible good to the
greatest possible number" would benmply
carried out into affect by the emancipation
of the negroes. . . .

You charge the Abolitionists, as with a
slim thattbey encourage a negro, flying
from entucky, to steal a horse from anin-

 

necossary, in making his escape. We are
not, upon full reflection, sufficiently versed
in casuistry, to decide whether, under such
circumstances, the taking of the horse,
would be an excusable act or not. But,
even conceding that it would be sinful, we
are of this quite certain, that there is not
one of on who addresses us who, if he
were un er similar circumstances, that is,
having no other means of escaping perpetu-
al slavery, would not make free with your
neighbor’s horse to effectuate your just and.
reasonable purpose. And we are also sure
of this, that there is not one of you who, _lf
he were compelled to spend the rest of his
lifeas a personal slave, worked, andbeaten,
and sold and- transferred from hand to
hand, and separated, at his master’s caprice,
from .wife and family-consigned to igno-
rance—working without wages, toiling with-
out reward—without any other stimulant
to that labor than the driver’s cart whip—
we do say that there is not one of you who
would not think that the name of pickpocket,
thief or felon, would not be too courteous a
name for the being who kept you in such
thraldom.

We cannot avoid repeating our astonish-
ment that you, Irishmen, should be so devoid
of every trace of humanity and to become
the voluntary and pecuniarily disinterested
advocates of human slavery; and especially,
that you should be so in America. But what
excites our unconquerable loathing is to find
that in your address you speak of man being
the propert of man—one human being the
property 0 another, with as little doubt,
hesitation or repugnance, as if you were
s king of the beasts of the field. It is

is that fills us with utter astonishment.
It is this that makes us disclaim you as coun-
trymen. We cannot bring ourselves to be-
lievc that you breathed your natal air in Ire-
land—Ireland, the first of all the nations ‘on
the earth that abolished the dealing inslaves.
The slave-trade of that day was curious
enough, a slave-trade in British youths—Ire-
land never was stained with negro slave-
trading—Irelaud that never committed an
offense against the men of color—Ireland,
that never fitted out a vessel for the trafic in
blood on the African coast.

. It is, to be sure, afiiicting and heart-rend-
rng to mo to think that so many of the Irish
in America should be so degenerated asto
be among the worst enemies of the people
of color. Alas! alas! we have that fact
placed beyond a doubt by the indisputable
testimony of Lord Merpeth. This is a foul
blot that we would fain wipe off the ’scutch-
can of expatriated Irishmen.

Have you enough of the genuine Irish.
man left among you to ask what it is that
werequire on to do? It is this:

first .- c call upon you, in the sacred
name of humanity, never again to volunteer
on behalf of the oppressor; nor even for
any self-interest to vindicate the hideous
crime of personal slavery.

Second: We ask you to assist in every way
you can in promoting the education of the
free men of color, and in discountenancing
the foolish feeling, of selfishness—of that
criminal selfishness which makes the white
man treat the man of color as a degraded
or inferior being.

Wrd : We ask you to assist in obtaining
for the free men of color the full benefit of
all the rights and franchises of a freeman in
whatever State he may inhabit.

Fmtrth : We ask you to exert yourselves
in endeavering to procure for the man of
color, in eve case, the benefit of a trial by

ury; especia ly when a man insisting to be
a freeman is claimed to be a slave.
Fifth : We ask you to exert yourselves in
every possible way to induce slave owners
to, emancipate as many slaves as possible.
The Quakers of America have several socie-
ties for that purpose. Why should not the
Irish imitate them in that virtue.
. Sixth: We ask you to exert yourselves
in all the ways you possibly can to put an
end to the internal slave-trade of the States.
The breeding of slaves for sale is, probably
the most immoral and debasing practice ever
.known in the world. It is a crime of the
moat hideous kind, and if there were no
other crime committed by the Americans,
this alone would place the advocates, sup-
porters and practicers of American Slavery
in the lowest grade of criminals. ‘

Seventh: We may ask you to use every
exertion in your pOWer to procure the she-
lition of Slavery by Congress in the Dis-
trict of Columbia. .

Eighth : We ask you to use your best
exertions to compel the Congress to receive
and read the petitions of the wretched ne-
groes; and above all, the petitions of their

white advocates.
Ninth : We ask you never to cease our
efforts until the crime of which Lord or-

peth has accused the Irish of America, of
“bein the worst enemies of the men of
color, ’ shall be stoned for, and blotted out
and efi'aced forever. ‘

You will ask how you can do all these
things? You have already answered that
question yourselves; for you have said that
public opinion is the law of America. Con-
tribute, then, each of you in his 3 here, to
make up that public opinion. here you
have the electoral franchise, give your vote
to none but those who will assist you in
so he! a struggle.

Un er a popular government, the man
who has right, and reason, and justice, and
charity, and Christianity itself on his side,
has great instruments of legislation and 1e-
gal power. He has the elements about him
to the greatest utility ; and even if he should
not succeed, he can have the heart-soothing
consolation of having endeavored to do
great and good actions. He can enjoy, even
in defeat, the sweet comfort of havmg en-
deavored to promote benevolence andcharlty.

It is no excuse to allege that the Con ress
is restricted from emancipating the saves
by one general law. Each particular Slave
State has that power within its own pre-
icints; and there is every reason to be con-
vinced that Maryland and Vir 'nia would
have followed the exam le of ew York,
and long ago abolished lavcry but for the
diabolical practice as you call it of “raising,”
slaves for the Southern market of pestilence
and death.

Irishmen and the sons of Irishmen have,
many of them risen to high distinction and
power in America. Why did not Irishmen
and the sons of Irishmen write their names
in the brightest chapter of humanity and be-
nevolence in American story ?

Irishmen ! Our Chairman ventures to think
and we agree with him, that he has claims
on the attention of Irishmen in every quar-
ter of the globe.

The Scotch and French philosophers have
proved by many years of experience that
the Irishman stands first among the races of
man in his physical and bodily powers.
America and Europe bear testimony to the
intellectual capacity of Irishmen. Lord Mor-

has demonstrated in the British Parlia-
ment the superior morality of the humbler
classes of Irish in all social and family rela-
tions. The religous fidelity of the Irish na-
tionis blazoned in glorious and proverbial
certainty and splendor.

We cannot close our observations upon
the unseemly, as well as the silly attacks you
make upon the advocates of Abolition, with-
out reminding you that you havc borrowed
this turn of thought from the persons who
opposed Catholic Emancipation in Ireland,
or who were the pretended friends of the
Catholics.

Some of you must recollect that it was
the custom of such persons to allege that but
for the “ Violence"and “ misconduct ”of the
agitators, and more particularly of our Chair-
man, the Protestants were about to emanci-
pate the ,Catholics gradually. It was the
constant theme of the newspa r press, and

even of the speeches in the case of Par-

agitators prevented Emancipation. 1H!“

mane being perceives the futility and y of
your attac 3 upon the Abolitiouists, and un-
derstands that these attacks are but the ex-
hibition of rancor and malrgnity against the
tried friends of humanity.

You say that the Abolitionists are fanatics
and bigots, and especially entertain a viru-
lent hatred and unchristian zeal against
Catholicity and the Irish. We do not mean
to deny, nor do we wish to conceal that there
are among the Abolitionists many wicked
calumniating enemies of Catholicity and the
Irish, especially in that most intolerant class,
the Wesleyan Methodist; but the best way
to disarm their malice is not by giving up to
them the side of humanity, while on, your-
selves, take the side of Slavery. at on the
contrary, by taking a superior station of
Christian virtue in the cause of benevolence
and charity, and in zeal for the freedom of ,
all mankind.

We wish that we could burn into your
souls the turpitude attached to the Irish
in America by Lord Morpeth’s charge.
Recollect that it reflects dishonor not
only upon you, but upon the land of your
.birth. There is but one way of closing

such disgrace, and that is by becoming
the most kindly toward the colored [:3-
ulation, and the most energetic in w' ' “-

the miserable bondsmen,

You tell us, indeed, that many clergy-
meu, and especially the Catholic eletgy,
are ranged on the side of the slaveh'oid-
ers. We do not believe your accusation.

The Catholic clergy may endure; but
they assuredly do not encourage the slave-
owners. We have, indeed heard it said
that some Catholic clergymen have slaves
of their own ; but, it is added, and we
are assured positively, that no Irish
Catholic clergyman is a slaveowner. At
all events, every Catholic knows how dis"
tinctly slaveholding, and especially slave-1
trading, is condemned by the Catholic
Church. That most eminent man, his Ho-
liness the Present Pope, has, by Alloca-
cution published throughout the world,
condemned all dealing and trafiic in slaves.
Nothing can be more distinct nor more
powerful than the Pope’s denunciation of
that most abominable crime. Yet it sub-
sists in a more abominable form than his
Holiness could possibly describe, in the
traffic which still exists in the sale of
slaves, from one State in America to an-
other.

What then, are we to think of you,
Irish Catholics, who send us an elaborate
vindication of Slavery without the slight-
est censure of' the hateful crime ? A
crime which the Pope has so completely
condemned namely, the diabolical rai-
sing of slaves for sale, and selling them
to other States. 1
If you be Catholics, you should devote
your time and best, exertions to working
out the pious intentions of His Holineu.
Yet you prefer 0, sorrow and shame I
to volunteer your vindication of every-

. thing that belongs to the guilt of Slavery.

If you be Christians at all, reccollect
that Slavery is opposed to the first, the
highest, and the greatest principles of
Christianity, which teach us “ to love the
great and good God above all things
whatsoever ;” and the next, “ to love our
fellow man as ourselves ;” which coin-
mands us “ to do unto others as we
would be done by.” ‘i‘hese sacred prin-
ciples are inconsistent with the horrors
and crimes of Slavery ; sacred principbs
which have already banished domestic
bondage from civilized Europe, and which
will also, in God’s own time, banish it
from America, despite the advocacy of
such puny declaimers as you are. _
How bitterly have we been afflicted at
perceiving by the American newspapers
that recently in the city which you inhab-
it an opportunity was given to the Irish
to exhibit benevolence and humanity ton
colored fellow creature, and was given in
vain. We allude to the case of thegiri'
Lavinia who was a slave in another State
and brought by her owner into that of
Ohio She by that means became enti-
tled to her freedom, if she had but one
friend to assert it for her. She did find
friends May the great God of heaven
bless them ? Were they Irish ? Alas i
alas? not one. You sneer at the secre-
taries. Behold how they here conquer
you in goodness and charity. ' The elb-
one name, it seems, was Scanlan ; unhap-
ily a thorough Irish name. Andhc, it
appears, has boasted that he took hiero-
venge by the most fiendish cruelty. not
upon Lavinia or her protector, for they
were not in his power, but on her unof-
fending father, mother and family.

And this is the system which you.
Irishmen. through many folio pages of
wicked declamatiou, seek at least to pal-
liate, if not to justify.

Our cheeks burn with shame to think
that such a monster as Scanlan could
trace his pedigree to Ireland. And yet,
you Irishmen, stand by in the attitude
rather of friends and supporters, than of
impugners of the monstrous cruelty. And
you prefer to string together pogonsvof ,.
cruel and heartless sophistry in defeinso of
the source of his crime, rather than take.
part against him.

uses if such a man was compared toga.

prejudices and call him no represehfui
