THE CAUSE OF IRELAND.

livery generous American heart must sympathiZe
with OConnell and Bulwer in their exertions for
staying that oppressive BILL which the British minis
ters are urging to put down the right of pc
ttion among the unfortunate Irishmen. God send
that noble and prosecuted people happy deliver
ance land give them back their Parliament
substituting in place of the present odious Union
Constitution which will confer upon them the bene-
fits OF the Federal system.-Mr OConnell at the
close OF his late speech in the House of Commons
thus characteristics the abominable features of the
proposed bill:
Ireland TO be beneficial the latter, let them concate
the people. They had granted emancipation he knew
but not until 20 years after promised years
after Irish parliament must necessarily have granted IT,
And after all the suffering and the wrongs of the Irish
people, that house now kind enough to give them
that bill, by which the trial By jury abolished,
courts substituted for tho ordinary legal tribunals
individual liberty annihated the Habeas Corpus Act
pended and accused persons put the necessity prov
ing their innocence. That the they gave the
Irish people, and at the time talked of putting down
the agitation of the repeal of the Union That never
could be put down until justice done to Ireland The
present generation might be destroyed; their Robesper-
rean measures might sweep away the existing populations
but the indignant soul of Ireland they could annhate
There was time when ray of hope dawned upon Ire
land Ii was when the present reformed Parliament first
assembled. The Irish people knew that every man in
that house had his constituents and was influenced
by the public feeling. They hoped that their grievances
would he redresed and he still that that hope
would not prove delusive. (cheers)"

CONFEDERATION OF THE TREASURY OFFICE
We lay this morning before our readers an official ex
