The following is a spirited picture, by O'Con-
mel, in a recent speech, of the manner in which
the Irish Tithes are not paid. The enthusiastic
patriotism which can thus still the impulses Of

MOI but challenge the admiration and praise OF
liberal people, 1t is highly characteristic OF the
warm hearted sons OF Erin; and affords an adml-
rable proof of the impolicy, as vel as the lnJus-
tice aud oppression, Of the system which now
grnds that noble people to the dust.
