THE TREASON PRESS.

Reasonable people might naturally suppose that the
sanguinary scenes enacted in the streets of Paris within
the last week would have cooled the ardour of the Irish
revolutionists and alienated men's minds from the con-
templation of a similar calamity in that wretched countrY•
Those, however, who expected an amelioration of tone in
the organs of sedition will be grievously disappointed. So
far from condemning the atrocities perpetrated in the
French capital, one of those journals...olr. Gavan Duffy
points out a mode for effecting the purposes of the
Communionists, which, if attempted to be put into oper-
ation, would inevitably lead to results as disastrous and
as fruitless as those which followed the late convulsion /13
Paris. In as plain terms as can be written, the Nakos
calls upon the peasantry to pay no rents, and to hold the
growing produce, estimated to be of the value of
£80,000,000, in their hands, for their own use and bene-
fit, and that if any landlord, or owner of property, should
say " Nay " to this audacious proposition, the answer
should be given by a pike-point or a bullet. To the sawe
tune, and with the same ferocity, screams the Mem
Tribune. In an article, headed " Blood for Blood," the
Tribune distinctly calls for the wholesale extermination
of the Irish aristocracy :
" Scourge the spoilers from our coast, exterminate the
English despots, and crush with them the anti-Irish
aristocracy for ever."
In answering a correspondent who signs himself "A
Pikeman," the Tribune says—
" We are surprised at your question ; we thought event
man of your corps had a correct list of the packed jury
men. If not, here it is to renovate your memory."
The inference from this must be obvious to the meanest
capacity.
In the " war department " of this treasonable print the
women are recommended to provide themselves with
barrel hoops, each of which is to be smeared with turpen;
tine or other inflammable matter, then set fire to an
thrown horizontally "on the red-coats, whose bayonete
would very conveniently serve to catch it, and thus silos!,
it to pass over their necks, when it would do its business. ,
This brutality has not even the questionable merit 01.
originality, being but a bad imitation of a worse model.
The second number of the Irish Felon was not published
until an advanced hour in the afternoon. Its tone is coo'
paratively moderate ; and although Mr. T. F. Meagher /5
added to the list of contributors, beyond schoolboy decla-
mation and a little harmless ranting, there is really nothing
very objectionable in any of the articles—certainly nothing
that evinces a desire, on the part of the writers, to reach
that goal of martyrdom for which there was such hot corn'
petition a few weeks back. Even for this slight symptom
of returning sense we here ought to be thankful. Mr.
Devin Reilly has not followed up his one-sided correspon-
dence with Lord Clarendon, as he promised to do. Mr,'
Morton's name does not once appear in his paper; and
Mr. James Lalor's letter contains merely a proposition for
the establishment of a monster club, a sort of 'unite/
organization, of which the Felon office, in Trinity-street
is to be the centre and citadel.
