the Power she is a Fenian insurrection, instead of
doing any good for the country, could only make bad
worse. Many valuable lives would be lost, blood would
flow in torrents, and in the end Ireland would be
worse off than in the beginning. It is a noble thing
to die for country.; but to get one's self killed or to
kill others, with no result to an unhappy country
than making bad worse, that is a sin, if ever there
was one, aggravated in proportion to the extent of
the mischief done, and, therefore, rising to an almost
incalculable height of enormity when a whole coun-
try is deluged with blood, as would be. the case in
an internecine civil war in Ireland. • How fearful is
the responsibility of the man who involves his coun-
try in such a calamity ! This being so, as a bishop
charged to speak the truth, I declare that the un-
happy movement which is now disturbing the peace
of the country is most sinful in itself, and condemned
by the Church under the heaviest censures. I further
call upon all owning me fur their pastor who have
!iic•eu drawn into this movement at once to abandon an

oa erprisans criminal as it is foolish, before they in-
volve themselves and their families and their country
iu the direst calamity. The God-speed of the wise and
good does not follow them, the blessing of the Church
is not with them, the favour of Heaven they
cannot hope for—how can they but lose heart ?
Moreover, the informer is on their track, a deter-
mined soldiery in their front, and if they escape from
them with their lives they cannot promise themselves
to escape from the condign punishment of the law
of the land. To have engaged in this business was
the extreme of folly; to persevere in it any longer
would be the height of madness. Let all give it up
at once. Patriotism, pity for family and friends,
self-Feservation, religion, all call upon them to do
so. In the name of all, in the name of the living
God, I call upon those of my flock who are impli-
cated to do so."

Such a voice issuing from Thurles, the centre of
one of the disturbed districts, must exert a power-
ful influence upon the disaffected. Archbishop
Leahy is one of the prelates who has taken an active
part in seeking to obtain by constitutional means a
remedy for an evil that Parliament can remove, and
he concludes with the following excellent advice :
" If we have grievances to complain of—and we
have—let us good Christians bear with them for a
time, so long as it may please Providence that we
shall have to bear with them. Let us seek a redress
of our grievances, not by an appeal to arms with the
battle sure to go against us, not by convulsive efforts,
which only serve to exhaust what little of strength
remains to us, and to make the power we struggle
against tighten its grasp the more—not by such
means let us seek the redress of grievances, but by
the peaceable constitutional means which all good
men can approve, and which deserve the benison of
Heaven. Then, with the blessing of that God
who rules the destinies of nations, and relying
on the strength of a righteous cause, we may
trust that the growing liberality of the statesmen
of England and the sense of justice as well as
the sympathies of the English people will atone to
Ireland for centuries of wrong and remove the ill
effects of long-continued neglect. If our people are

the worst. clothed, the worst fed, and the worst
housed of all the peoples of Europe, let us all in our
respective spheres endeavour to the utmost of our
power to ameliorate their condition by encouraging
every effort of agricultural, manufacturing, com-
mercial, or other enterprises calculated to develope
the resources of the country. If the friends of the
people of Ireland deplore the unnatural emigration
which is draining the life-blood of the nation, hav-
ing cost us three millions of our population in a few
years, let us employ whatever we possess of intelli-
gence in devising for our people remunerative em-
ployment so as to keep them at home ; let every
one who can do it put forth a hand to stop the
haemorrhage which threatens the very life of the
nation. Be it the ambition of every one who wishes
well to Ireland to regenerate her by these peaceful
means. Whoever shall have a hand in the work
will have deserved well of his country."
