The hero of Caherrnoyle is again in print. Hav-
ing exhausted his eloquence upon the Hungarian
question, and filled some columns with on egotis-

tical narrative of his connection with Al.Manus, he
now turns, as he himself expresses it, to break a
lance with Meagher. He begins by saying :

" I have read with much interest the speed recently de-
livered by you at Boston ; but though I adin-Tre its fen :d
eloquence, and agree with many of the sentiments which it
contains, I differ altogether from tho conclusions which you
endeavour to enforce. I am, therefore, prepared to break a
lance with you in argument, and to contend that the Irish
in America ought to appear as mediators, instead of being

participators, in the fratricidal strife which is now desolat-
ing the fairest portion of the Western Hemisphere. You
have denounced as conspirators' and ' propagandists' of na-
tional dishonour and of national ruin' those Americans who
advocate peace. These terms can scarcely apply to me,
though lam an advocate of peace. So far am I from con-
spiring against the unity of the great Republic of the West
that no event which has occurred in foreign countries ever
occasioned me so much sorrow as the disruption of the
American Union ; and this sorrow has been intensified
when I have observed the delight with which the enemies
of the republic have watche-I and gloated over the events
which appear to render reconciliation impossible. Neither
can I consider myself ' a propagandist of national dishonour
and of national i ain' when I urge the statesmen of America

as well as my own fellow-countrymen to put,an end to this
fratricidal war by mutual forgiveness and mutual conces-
sions, which shall avert national ruin NCthout compromis-
ing the honour of either of the contending parties."
Meagher's language does not, of course, apply to Smith
O'Brien, but then it gives him a grand opportunity of dis-
playing his profound egotism. How the Americans will
laugh when they road the ridiculous proposition contained
below :
