LONDON, TUESDAY. SEPT. 5.

YOUNO IRELAND," remarks a well-informed Irish
sorrespoodent, who writes from 'the far west,' on
the 2nd Jut., " Is already forgotten—at least beyond
the abatises." The sadden nap, and the rapid decline
and fall of this party form a curious chapter in the his-
tory of the the... The fabulous parts of a nation's his-
tory, it is remarked by SOUTHEY, merit careful study,
as uidioating the popular belief; and is the same way
the amantric and extravagant displays of the Irish
public character demand the notice of the statesman
who governs, or the philosopher who criticises, the
IarIaNNIINIII7.
Thera hasty besa—it is worthy of remark—two
To iteirsis. &eagle persons not acquainted with
the bees hare s_appemmil there was only one faction
of that mew Bit the Young Ireland of Thomas
Davin and the EOM Ireland of JOHN MITCHEL
were as aillireat hem each other as the whiggism of
Doaauts FOX ham the radicalism of Sir F. Buaorrr;
or the toryiem of Cassino from the to ism of Lord
ELDON. The originator of the entire Young Ireland
party was Davis, a man of great moral and ittellec-
tual energy, and most extensive attainments, with
many of the qualities of a man of action. He was of
a catholic nature, of broad and genial sympi!-
thiss ; and the fact of men of the most opposite poli-
tics doing honour to his early grays attests his amis-
bility and virtues. His views wan bold and vigorous ;
and his moans, unlike those of his suomasors, were suited
to his ends. He was the ardent admirer of O'Connau,
though not his servile follower, and was totally
opposed to undermining the influence of tha great
agitator. The oathoEn priesthood were, in the eyes
of Davis, the mainstay of the popular arty in Ire-
land, and so far did he carry his view on this point,
that it has been said that " Davis was a protestant in
his religion, bat a Roman catholic in his
politics." We do not forget, however, that he was
the steady advocate of the principle of mixed educa-
tion.

DAVIS, it must be observed also, was a southern
by birth and sympathies, a native of the county. of
Cork. In his character them was much of the Joy-
one and hearty Monster man, fond of song and
gaiety, frank and humorous, with a spice of devilry.
After his death the interests of the Young Ireland
party fell into the hands of a northern soterii, tinged
with the narrow views and political fanaticism of
Ulster. Sectarian and severe—cynical, stern, and
116014111., Mr. OMR DUFFY NOM never to have
been the leading spirit of this tionneximi. Of delicate
health, he bad neither the talents nor strength requi-
site for a popular leader ; and though be appeared in
pablie with the rest of the party his position was that
of 3oasrlist rather than chieftain—its loader-writer
rather than its leader._

—lt eggenrs-- that MITCHSL was the reel leader :
Bxi O'llatan and Dorm only the nominal chiefs
of the Tsang Irelands'. The early iirejodime and
education el MITCII6L governed his views ; his
ideas were those of a frantic Irish prestlyterian, a
sectary in raved—leveller in politics—a revoln-
tialhaist oliabneipruiciple, only less opposed to the Irish
church, and the political power of the
priesthood, than to England and her empire. Woirs
Totes was admired by DAVIS, bet adored by
birrcuaL, and the point is significant of the dif-
ference between the two men.

The iaat of the Yoang- --Ireland party falling into
northern 'management influenced its fortunes greatly.
The faction became more Imes and reckless, but it
also became kiss popular and trusted. It ceased to
influences y the springs of action which rule
the three catholic provinces of Ireland. This would
hardly have been cum if Davis had survived.
O'Oamnnes death left the Irish popular party
with two factions struggling for supremacy—Old and
Young Wand. On the side of the Arm was a large
portion d the hierarchy and priesthood, the rest of
the aura being indiffssent or hostile to both Mo-
tions. There was also the great name of O'Connam..
On the side of the other there was a portion of the
catholic young men opposed to priestly sway, and in-
flamed with juvenile vanity, which they called
Nationality
Orators fresh from spouting clubs—barristers of
human volubility, and no business—joumalista in
search of readers—epsech-makers in search of hearers
. .

--a motley coterie of some talents mixed up with in-
ordinate pretensions, and contemptible ignorance of
political science, administrative and economical—
such formed the dramatis persolue of the Young Ire-
land company. Theis gentlemen promised Europe
that they would play a tragedy for us. Can we
wonder that in raising the curtain they gave us the
comic extra of such a rebellion as was never
seen or of before--all words and no blowe—
much flummery and folly—a Bing of MUNIMiII with
a bloody nose—; atriots picked up by policemen, and
rebels running into gaol as fast as their legs could
take them P _ . _

Foe want of tribunitian talent the Old be-
land party was unsuccessful. The priests of the Irish
catholic church did not wish to march through
Coventry with Mr. Joan O'Costau., " My dear
RAT; and endearing Mr. Daunt Bsowits, et hoc
genus crone. The son of the great O'CONNELL inhe-
rited only the name, and was utterly incompetent to
exhibit the qualities of his mighty sire. Mediocre—
sterile—tame—he was a caricature of a leader. What
RICHARD CROMWELL was to the English Protector
JOHN O'Costs mi. was to the Irish Agitator.
The want of talent in JOHN O'CONNELL made the
Young Icelanders appear more popular and strong.
One of the consequences of DANIEL O'CONNELL'S
sway bad been to centralise all popular authority in
Ireland within his own hands. His rule was a
deli tolerated and supported by the priests.

vigorous gladiators entered into the political arena to
wrestle lice the victory. Men of Wont and orange
seemed to despise the chiehhip of Irish demooraoy.

and be a man of nation. Journals were established
MT:mating senguinery views; their shortsighted pro-
