IRISH EIIIGR2-kTIOT.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE DiLI'LIF TIMES.
have been reading a letter in yont issue of to-
day ny iohn Leeraing. lam bewildered by t3ris same
letter. The tuctierr of the writer is entangled ; his
meaning obscure. he have mercy upon your
readers and explain himset Whom does he commi-
serate ? The employing farmer or the employed
labourer ? Which of these two classes is tttering this
" last new " cry of anguish ? Item 1. " The ferme,rs
cannot get hands to do the work." In reply to this
say humbug. His cry of a;:pilh Ceases as soon as he
offers the value of labour in his market. Item 2. " This
is a bad state 'of things." If the labourer is uttering
e‘ the cry of anguish " and item 1 is true he ought to be
ashamed of himself, for the labourer is never so well off
as when the &wand for what he has to sell exceeds the
supply; this is a true" ationi. Item 3. I have seen
many poor aged couples tied door to starvation because
their young sons have left the to' go in the tide which
wi--

sweep them and Ireland into thy vortex of ruin."
What a jumble. Who is the tide going to. sweep into
ruin ? It cannot be the "aged couples "—it cannot be
Ireland, because the tide must sweep where its course
tends, not the land it leaves. Then it must mean the
young men who are being "swept into the vortex
of ruin." As ninety per cent. of these fine young
men are swept into th United States, perhaps Mr.
Leemiliz will kindly inform us what period he calculates
will elapse before the ruin of the States is accomplished
by the immigration+ of "fine young Irishmen." That
poor deluded country hails their presence with joy, and
laments whenever the tide rut's. gowly. Lastly, what
in the name of sound sense has the' Government or the
people of England to do with emigration from Ireland.
Would Mr. Leeming have us act the slave delver, and
restrict the personal liberty of the Irish people, who
have an undoubted right to go when and whither they
please. We should have plenty of " cries of anguish "
from the sisfer island if we were to breathe such an idea.
Finelly,—ltem 4 :—" Let us beware, or else one day
we shalt awake from our dream and find that our hold
upon Ireland is but feeble." Mr. Sohn Leeming will
confer a great benefit upon the bewildered andamimagi_
native understandings- of at least some of your readers,
by explaining how the emigration of the poor labouring
Irish to America, and the lineigration of Scotch and
English labourers is likely to "weaken our hold " upon
that island. The only solution my benighted intellect
can arrive at is this : That under those eiremnstances,
Ireland will be inhabited by a people better .able to
govern themselves than at present.—Truly yours,
G. S MOM' lELD.
