FRIDAY, July IS, 1870
The British, it would seem, are.
coming out again with new orders in
council, which may eventually and ve-
ry materially change the present as
Pect OF our relations with Great. Bri.
tain. We pretend not at this moment
TO discuss the new points which are
peeping forth; but we viii desire our
readers to reject how very completely
the English government have usurped
the power of giving laws to those who
navigate the ocean. The thing has, to
De sare, been done by degrees but it
has been effected by our sufFerance.
This is the way, in truth, that all a.
buses arc created; by little and little.
II, in the year 1906, the British had
exercised the same power that they
do now, the American tories them
selves would scarcely have defended
them. But at present, SO potent is
haDir--even the habit of suffering our
selves to be kickedLthat the most dis.
graceful hufniliations may, in time,
come to be looked on not only with
indifference, bat with -complacency.
We fear that the good citizens of this
country have been SO long pampered
with the roses of prosperity, that when
the thorns begin to prick them--and
prick they will-the pain will be in.
tolerable.

:" Sad IS the sleep of Erin, and her
dreams are troubled and gloomy. Her
enemy has come, he has come in the
hour OF her slumbers, and his hand
has stolen the emerald from her brow;
put Erin HIS not awakened-No : she
still sleeps.
" Bloody is the field where she lies,
and her garments are sprinkied with
,lood---fcr the wounds Of her sons are
'treaming around her, and the ghosts
d her heroes are crying for vengeance
rat Erin has not awakened MOT
The still sleeps.
