We transcribe the foll Owing remarks on the state
of the Irish Peasantry, from the publication of Mr.
I*Wakefield, with that feeling of mortification which a
statement that one-third of the population of these
kiereoms is, in many respects, in 'a 'worse situation
than that of the Russian boors, is so eminently cal-
culated to inspire. It is curious enough to hear the
champions of intolerance and persecution, those men
who have contributed so much to prevent the extiric-
tine of the dissensions which have hitherto retarded
the progress of improvement in Ireland, perpetually
descanting on the degraded state :of the people ni"
the Conlinent, and the happiness ejoyed by o,:r
own, as if the great body of the Irish population were
! no part of his Majesty's subjects, and were some-
, Ming net worth the taking into accotiqt.
r• 46 Now will any one who has perused the above
account say that the situation of many of the Irish
peasants is much superior to that of the Itussiari
boor ? The latter, indeed, is the property of the per-
son on whose estate he resides; but, provided he
pay his obrok, he may go. where he pleases to pro-
cure employmeut, and what he saves over awl above
that sum, he mar appropriate to Whatever purpose
he thinks proper. lle is allowed a certain portion
of land for the support of himself aird family ; and
in return he either pays. tile ofrrok along with per. ,
tonal service, or .the latter only ; and in this he 1
seems to be exactly on a level with the Irish slave*,
who is bound by the terms of his lease to cultivate in,
like manner the land of his master. The expressions
I have here used may offend some delicate ears; but
to call the former tenant, would be a prostitution of
language. Can starch a system. he su.ffered to remain
any longer in a free country ? Does itnot excite the.
