The Irish Repeat Move
2slGRE.

Below will he found all extract from
letter, from Judge Dorah of Philadelphia
10 Mr.. Patricius Fincgan of this town,
which from the information it gives on
the subject of the Irish Repeal question.
cannot fail TO be interesting TO our readers.
We have always had doubts in regard to
the proprie.y Of citizens Of the United
States whether naturalized lrishmen ornot,
taking part in the quarrel between England
and Ireland; and Immediately following
the extract from the Judges letter, we 6 i've
several extracts from speech delivered
by Daniel o. Cornell, before the Irish
Repeal Association on the 10Th ult. which
we presume will have a tendency to chill
any sympathy that may have been felt
for the Repealers, by the people Of the
xlavcholding states.
EXTRACT
From Judge Doran's letter to Z. Fin
cyan, Esq.
s'As an Irshman ! take it for
granted that you are acquainted with the
history of your country, and therefore
know that on the first Of January 1901
Ireland became incorporated with Great
Britain and the Ilish Parliament ceased to
exist By what base means the act was
accomplished is admitted by alb and how
1t was passed in opposition to the express
sed wishes OF "a vast majority of the Irish
voters is equally admitted. The most
shameful bribery and the most cunning
frauds were the principal means. Even
for the purchase Of Boroughs alone one
million two hundred and thirty seven
thousand and five hundred pounds, was
publicly paid by the British Government,
large sum indeed, but small when com
pared with the other sums secretly paid
to individuals for accomplishing the ruin
of their country The pretence upon
which the act of Parliament by which the
Legislative Union was enacted, to obtain
arrpea of which by peaceful, legal, and
constitutional means is the purpose of
Daniel O Cornell backed as he Is by the
Irish people, was that the people of Ire
land should be placed upon the same foot
ing of equal rights, privileges, franchises,
and political, manufacturing and CONNER
cal advantages, with the more favoured
ports of England and Scotland. That
Union has now lasted for forty years
and upwards. and still the Irish people
are not placed upon footing of equality
with British subjects.
There are four essential modes of diff
ference between the condition of the Irish
people and that Of The people of Grea,
Britain.
First The ecclesiastical State Reven-
ues of England are not applied 10 the
church Of the minority of the English peo-
pie. The Ecclesiastical State Revenues
of Scotland are not applied TO the church
OF the minority of the Scottish people.
The Ecclesiastical State revenues Of Ire
land are applied to the church of a com~
paratively very small minority of the Irish
people. This is master grevance;-
whilst 1t continues there may be parch-
ment or legal Union, but there is no real
Union. To redress this grievance is the
first and greatest object of the Irish peo-
pie in establishing the Repeal association
in Dublin
Secondly, The parliamentary Fran
ehises of the people Of ireland are much
more restricted and limited than those of
the people of England. Only one twen-
tieth of The male adults in Ireland have the
franchise, whereas in England more than
one filth of the male adults have the fran
