Letter from Mr. Lawless on the state of Ireland :
How is the Irish peasant protected by the laws of his
country when reduced to want and destitution, either by the
impossibility of getting employment, the visitation of
disease, or old age, or by the countless ills to which our
nature is subject ? The law abandons him to the resources
of despair. To beg, or to rob, or to murder, is the refuge
of the Irish peasant, when he files from his cabin, where he
beholds these children, so dear to him, struggling with all
the horrors of famine. In England, a man so situated ap-
peals to the law, and finds protection in its mercy. There.
fore in England public crime scarcely or ever proceeds from
the distress or suffering of the peasant; in Ireland it is
eternally the parent of every public outrage. Well, then,
in Ireland the remedy of the peasant, without food for him-
self or his children, is to beg, or to rob, or to murder. In
the county of Clete, at this moment, an immense population
arc denied the miserable resource of a few yards of ground
'to cultivate their potatoes, their only means of existence.
Tillage gave way to pasture—the profits of the latter were
too dazzling to keep alive the claims of the poor—the
peasant's little garden was swallowed up by the all-devour.
lug grazier—its inhabitants were sent forth to do as they
could ; find sustenance where they may ; live or perish as
their fortune might order it ; and yet we all wonder that
a people so situated, withint any refuge in the law of
the country—without any poor-rate under which the fa-
mishing peasant could find a temporary shelter, should
rise up at midnight, and take deadly and indiscriminate
vengeance on all around th,m. Where are they to apply
distress P—Where is the
in the extremity of this deep
proprietor of the soil on which they are doomed to perish ?
—ln England, in France, or in Italy. consuming the pro-
duce of that labourer who is doomed to starve on the very
ground he has cultivated. What, then, is the cause of the
murders and desolation which Clare exbiliits P—Famine—ei
famished popolation—an unfeeling gentrf, and the want of
that great parental law Which protects tbs. Englishman and
his children, in all the storms and vicissitudes of life: and
never will Ireland cease to be visited with the calamities to
which the gentry of Clare are now the victims, until the lat-
ter are forced, by the liw of the land, to contribute a portion
of their property to the-support and protection of the poor,
who are always willing to work, but who, as at present, are
unable to procure it. MUt this is not the only evil or griev-
ance under which the pour man labours. Had we all our
absentee property at this moment in Ireland, amounting to
at least five millions annually; had we our own parliament,
making laws in their own country ; perpetually watching
ores national improvement, seizing opportunities, emu.
taging her manufactures, commerce. science, education, agri.
culture, applying an instant remedy to instant rot-chief ;
mixing with the constittsent body, catching the sentiment
of the public mind. reflecting public opinion, acting upon
its imputes and regulating its excess, ( I quote the mods of
the present Lord Chid* Justice of Ireland), " were we so
blessed as to possess this essential condition of a nation's
greatness, still a poot law, guarding the porn against tho
vicissitudes of seasons and the visitation. of disease, would
be a necessaryinrtitution to assure the security of pro
perty, the peace of the community, and Or comfort of tits
es sant."
