The native American., 1838-10-20

preach what they don't practise! If such be liars,
what term of mendacity sufficiently strong ought
10 be applied TO yourself?'
This, indeed, is true picture of the condition
of the miserable and deceived Irish people. Let
an American, or any other, visit the south OF
Ireland. and there lie will behold scenes that
chill the very blood in his veins. He will behold
| Inakedness, misery, and desolaton. He will be-
hold mendicants, all but naked, walking the pub
| lie streets in search of food. While this melan-
choly state of things continues in 'beautiful''
country, let place hunters, office seekers, and
specious orators hold their peace in reference to
slorcry in the United States.
The session of Parliament is now terminated
and the question in every bodys mouth is, what
has been done for the starving, houseless popula-
ton Of Ireland? The answer is, nothing.
Mr. O'Connell has returned from Mount Mel,
Larry, The residence of the Trappst Monks, whi-
thor he had gone upon "spiritatm retreat'' OF
eight days! after having made the most uncharta-
BILE attacks upon those who conscicntiously diff
fer from him in politics. His second meeting at
The Corn Exchange, in Dublin, is thus described:
$50 brutal, turbulent, and intolerant bear gar
den was never exhibited
When Mr.. Sharman Crawford offered himself
to the meeting, there was nothing to be seen or
heard but insult, tumuH, and outrage.
The Belfast "Norhern Uhig, most liberal
paper, not being able any longer to look in 81
ence upon the gross Inconsistencies and decep-
tive policy of the "0gi'ator," has laid bare all
his schemes. The London 'Ucekly Dispatch, y
the circulation of which is seventy-fve thousand
per week. which has hitherto upheld Mr. O'Con,
nell, has been compelled TO take up hostile po-
siton. The priests are also beginning to sound
the tocsln of opposition to the "Dictator's'' de-
crees. And if they put i'll motion their influence
against him, his downfall is sealed.
The Rev. Mr.. Dewern, Roman Catholic
| Clergyman. has addressed second letter to the
..Iiberator," il which he plainly tells him tina
the Irish people will no longer repose confidence
in him or his plans. He asks question some
what difficult of solution, viz What has become
of the money which the people had contributed
towards the support of the late {" National As
sociation." that was to have achieved such poll
tical wonders, but which ended in smoke! And
he declares that until the "Precursor" associa
ton shall have given some strong proof of its de-
sire to serve the people, he will not recommend
the provinces to contribute single penny to its
treasurer In reference to the Ministerial 1.-THE
Bill he SAYS: "What are the people to think Of
\ leader who, on the Wednesday, wrote a letter
from London denouncing the bill ''as worse than
!. ever was imposed by Mahommedan sword on Gre
clan vassals,' and who, on the following day, and
with protests in his pocket from five Irish coun-
ties, made speech in support of it, and recorded
;, 4 vote in its favOr?" Facts are stubborn things,
and how Mr.. O'Connell will get over the ncon-
sistency with which he is charged by his Reverend
accuser, cannot answer.
