IRELAND CoNTINUED-NoP PROOF FOUND OF
HER ROASTED VIRTUES. BUT MANY OF HER
CRIMES-A PROOF TO OUR HAND.
We renew our investigation into the moral and phys
cal condition Of Ireland. The reader will remember
that in our last paper established the fact that murder
was thing Of ordinary in that blessed isle
Of the ocean, and that charity lay down at night with
the blood stained outlaw; and murder being common all
other vices and crimes followed in its tran and do actually
exist II is necessary that should bear in mnd-and
the recollection Of that fact should 60 par passu with the
other facts prodccngthat our country owes its
origin, political government, to the wondrous and
mystical unity Of fathers in holding their grievances
the same, seeking their redress in the way and
uniting afterwards upon scheme Of general rule;
essentially then is unity, or nationality the keystone to
confederation In order to preserve that unity, we
have but 10 bear in mind-peace among our
selves That peace requisite, (who will deny that il is
soy can only be obtained by rigid adherence TO
institutions and desire for their permanency.
These are great Americon truths. Bearing them in
rial which brought into this country by the laws Of
naturaization and test by fact whether it is capable
Of uniting with us in observance Of our national
Iawsof understanding domestic habits, Of sharing
in our sectional but less and national poll
tcs-for Of many minor parts is composed our sublime
and glorious union "In such country" says able
English work, (audng to Ireland) ''there would not
only be much unrelieved misery, but after me discon
tent and turbulence and agitation. The O'Connes of
such country would be wanting, and capital and
credit the most timd Of created things would dis
appear from it. What avas il to Ireland at this moment,
that she has millions Of hands able and willing to labor
and large tracts Of uncuated land and every facility for
manufactures and commerce-when the moral condition
Of her people is such that capitalist wN trust his money
among them" Such is the condition Of moral Ireland,
that the entepsng flee the land; persons from adjacent
countries looking on her fertile felds and wishing to
erect manufactures are afraid to venture lest in the
night the people should rise upon them with the torch
and knife. The reader will mark that from the above
extract there splenty Of rich and nncutvated land in
Ireland and vet her fields covered with starving beg
gars unwilling to work themselves, and threatening
with the brand and blade, every who may wish to
improve the country. For the twentieth time we look
around among our moral fellow countrymen, and ask
them if they would wish to encourage the introduction
of these villains among Us!
Do we wonder that England. hndng II lnconvenlent
to improve these people, has adopted plan to rid her
self Of their bghting presence. If England, who knows
them so WELL will not keep them, why should receive
them with open arms, .and rush to evils that know
not OFF,
We conld pursue this subject in thousand new and
important branches, but called to riot at Cumber
land, Maryland which proves exactly what we have
said in every number Of this papethat these people
true to their native sympahies and euds and that they
would make this country their battle ground.
Surely if they will not stay in their fine country
and improve its uneuivated fields, We expect them
to change their nature here to from murders, riots
and robberies! Oh certainly not.
IA letter has been received from the Chief Engineer Of
the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal company saying that
upon hearing Of the disturbances upon the line Of the
Canal he went to the TunRe and ordered the principal
Of the rioters about So to be discharged The remainder
Of the hands, however, about SO in number, made COM
mon cause with them and said that any dschag
ed the whole should be- In the mean time, the volun-
teer company of Cumberland Guards with many Of the
Inhabitants from the Maryland and Virginia sides Of the
river assembled in Old Town, all well armed; and the
Chief Engineer accompanied them back to the Tunnel
Most of the workmen dispersed as soon as the troops a
peared. Twelve Of them, however, were arrested and
lodged in Jail in Cumberland and at the time the letter
was written the excitement already over.
There Is no doubt that this outrage to be attributed
solely to the euds which have long subssed among
the laboring Irishmen in this country, between the Far
donians' and "Coronians" and that Ryan 1.-THE person
whose house was destroyed at Old TOWN. considered
IS belonging to one Of these parties"
Here is Daniel OConnell's opinion Of this country.
