THE CADIZ SENTINEL
CADIZ. JUNE I, 1875.
A VOICE FROM IRELAND.

which side The people of Ireland are, and will be,
in all disputes between England and the United
States. The British Premier will undoubtedly
have on his side the royalsis, the titled nobility,
the privileged orders, the corrupt priests, weak
minded princes, worthless drones. snd all who
baiten on the miseries aud misEorunes of The
down-irodden millions; but these "giIdcd but
ierfies" viii not bare their breasts 10 American
bOyOnets! The People of Great Britain, the
Great Masses, will naturally take sides with the
United States. The cause of Freedom is the
same all over the world.
From lie Dublin Nation.
Polk or Peel.
Whatever may be thought of 'Peel's discretion,
whatever shall DO experienced of his acts, he
has spoken sioutly, The President soemnly an
nounced, in his inaugural address, that the title
of the Americans to the Oregon Territory was
''clcar and unqucstionable p That they were per-
tectng that title by emigration, and that the laws
and the arms of the Republic would follow and
project them, The English minister has promptly
answered assertion by assertion, threat by threat,
promise by decd. Tho right of England, saws

--he uses the words of the President, to make
his contradictions more emphatic-that right we
shall ask America 10 admit, and failing to obtain
by admission and offer, we are ''detemined and
prepared 10 Defend" He has stopped the pack
ct to send his Instructions, he has commissioned
the Earl of Cahcar 10 command the British
troops in America, he has hurried off TWO COM
panies Of artillery 10 Canada--he is about 10
send an additional force there--S,000 men, It's
said; and the Times boasts that the lolts on the
Columbia will be ready TO resist any force that
the Americans can move against them.
Nor are these the only resources of which
Britain Vaunts. America, says the organ of the
Ministers, has neither navy, army, nor credit
England has ALL The unguarded coast is threa-
tened with a rowing squadron. New Yerk is
within reach of Canada; Washington may be
burned again; and, least the memory of JACKSON
should shelter New Orleans, skeleton regiments
are to be thrown into the Southern States, and
the negroes orgarized under the awful banner oI
liberty and vengeance.
Yet England will yield the Oregon without a
war, if America persists. In any case England
will loge il; for the tide Of emigration cannot be
resisted by the Minister, nor moderated by the
President; the great design of the American
mind will be accomplished; the expulsion of eve
ry European power from their continent. We do
not say that England might not colonise and
long retain the Oregon; we are believers in a
vile and mechanical necessity; human genius
knows no mpossjbjlites human will is supreme
on earth.
II England were safe in Europe, and had con-
tented Canada by independence, and should she
establish guardian army, and sudden and vast
colony in the Oregon, under an enterprising and
original Governor, with dictator's power, she
might firmly hold and gradually occupy the Pa
citic side of North America But she will not
content the colony she will not content Canada
she is unsafe in Europe
England cannot hold Oregon save by The con
sent of the States. Canada and Ireland are not
hostile to the American occupation; it would not
belus, IS not their interest to do So The claim
OF America is preferable on historical and pollti-
grounds If the Oregon belonged TO France,
the States got it with Louisiana; if to Spain,
they got ii with Florida; to no one, they got II
with independence. Historically, the claims of
both parties seem trivial, American Captain Grey
entered one ofits harbors, and called the district
Columbia, after his ship. English Captain Van
couver afterwards entered one Of its rivers.
There were no inherited titles in either country
and, wisely acting on the secret conviction Of
This, the negotiations of 1918 and 1927, allowed
equatrights Of occupation to the settlers of both
States, leaving right of sovereignty undecided.
The Americans on the spot, swarming with an
pual nations, naturally, all but necessarily spread
IN and in. England has few stockaded cabins
on the coast, but not colonist. Nature, might,
justice, and the spirit of the conventions, have
given il TO America.
Neither ireland nor Canada then, have Just
cause 10 object to the American occupaton,and
their interests is even favorable TO it.
IN the States, Canada sees the natural ally or
confederate Of her approaching independence.
They are near; England lar; they are friendly
and like; England has mjsused. does maltreat,
and is unlike to Canada. Besides, it is the OBJ
vlous interest Of the American nations to eman-
cipate their continent from European power and
European quarrels.
The progress Of the American Republic is that
OF state towards whose independence Ireland
gave Montgomery and %, 900 soldiers; of a State
which aided her in the Emancipation struggle
and which has helped and still generously assists
her for repeal; of state which is the bulwark
of ofliberty. Aye! notwithstanding the slavery of
the negro, America is Iiberty's buIwark and Ire
lands dearest ally. Ireland laments and con-
demns tho negro slavery which England planted
in America. She would exult in its abolition
in all the States, as she reioices in its extinction
in SO many; but she knows that its abolition,
however possible and right, is difficult and dan
gerous; she remembers that when she sough,
England's help for Emancipation, England held
saves--that few nations ON earth but hold and,
have held them; finally Ireland knows that she
has no Quixotc mission 10 hunt out and quarrel
for (wthoul being able 10 redress) distant wrongs
when her own suferngs and thraldom require
every exertion and every alliance.
