To the Right Hon. the Lord Chancellor, &c. sc.
We have not space at present for the reflections
which this excellent letter suggests But we can
not allow the o, porunity 10 escape, OF asking why
the friends OF Ireland this continent are relaxing
their efforts! Surely there is now ample encou-
regiment TO go on. The prospect OF lreland's
demptlon looks brighter every day. We, ourselves,
begin 10 place more taNh in the purity OF the mo-
tlves OF the great leader, O'Connell, and are more
disposed 10 believe that he will not give slumber to
his eyelids when another administration comes INTO
office. The day has gone by Tor ever when any
nation, with just perceptions OF its rights and
proper disposition TO obtain them, can be kept in
bondage. Great Brtans old panacea for all the
evils of Ireland blood-letting-bas fallen into
desuetude Ii wants but unrelaxed, vigorous,
peaceful exertion, and Ireland must, long, put
on the garments of peace aud prosperity for those
OF mourning and woe.
