of the scenery on the sea-shore is very fine.
Jesse thinks that "DaLky HiH'' is almost e.
q tai to g High Rock !''-We took a iaunt the
other day on to the Dublin Mountain, accom-.
| panied by our friend John Classon. On our
way up called at Col. Whites mansion, and
by permission of the Colonel's lady went in
to see " rat uas inside" 1t is almost equal
in splendor, to ''Eaton Hail." To give you
an idea of the furniture, | only need mention
that a small card table cost three hundred
guineas,-enough to buy a comfortable farm
in New England. We sung a song. and left
the folks "alone in their glory" Went to
the top of the mountain, and there had a fine
view of the whole city, and the country round
about for many miles. All very fine, but
don't begin tOih NetO Hampshire. After feast
ing our eyes on the scenes below, and taking
an extra snuff of pure air, we descended and
went to visit quite a different kind of build
ings from Col. Whites. (By the way, the
Colonel's father used to peddle pins and tape
through the country.) We visited numerous
Irish huts where whole families live in one
small room, say ten feet by twelve, built Of
a kind of mud-mortar, and covered with hay
and straw.-I wanted 10 see the contrast, so
! %ventured up to the door of one of these huts,
and looked in. 1t had no floor, except a
three inch surface of mud, and the furniture
consisted of a straw ''bunk,'' an old table,
(which couldn't have cost three hundred gum
easy one chair, two milking stools, a few dish
es on an old dresser and two pig-troughs.-
The inmates, a man and wife, two children,
Gan unusually small supply,) and twelve or
fourteen pigs. The man said, very coolly,
that the pigs were rather dirty things to have
in a cabin, but he had no other place, and he
could put up with it because they were go-
ing to bring him a good price,-and, moreo-
yer, they were all he had to support his chill
dren, and pay the landlord, and the priest!-
In another cabin was an old man, who said
he should be a hunlred years old next Christ
mas, and he didn't know what he should do,
for he was almost past labor, and had nothing
to depend upon but his hands. This is a
sample of Irish peasantry.
We visited O'Conneli's house, on Marion
Had the pleasure of sitting in the
great chair presented to him while in prison,
They tell us that we heard one of his great
est speeches in Cancellation Hall. He struck
a great blow against American Slavery at any
rate.-Frederick Douglass made himself We
ry unpopular with the Protestants here for
at the same meeting, because they
say that O'Connell is fighting for Catholi-
cism instead of liberty and reform. But the
old mans roice if not his words tell me that
he is opposed to tyranny, and a friend to the
oppressed all over the world. | have seen
him, AMI heard him. And love him.
Next comes father Matthew. Amore love-
ly looking man | never saw, and a better
christians hand never grasped. | saw him
at Kingston, last Sunday week, administer
tho pledge to nearly a thousand people. He
is doing more for the improvement of the
Irish people than all the doctors, lawyers
priests, and politicians together. (Not much
of a compliment by the way.-ED.)
There are two poor-houses in Dublin, con-
tanning about sixteen hundred souls each.-
AS a general thing they are, to appearance,
better taken care of than thousands who live
in the back streets; but one thing looked too
much like what [ have heard of American
Slavery. AS soon as a man and wife go to
one of these houses they are separated forev-
er, and have no communication whatever, eX-
cept that once a week they are allowed to
shake hands and chat half an hour or so,
through a gate. And those inmates who have
friends out are only allowed to see them in
this way. For this reason thousands suffer
most intensely, and many prefer to meet the
g Phantom Of griSsty bOne," than to be sent
to the work house. Americans be kind to
the poor Irish who come among you; for they
are an oppressed people. Let our land be,
in reality, an asylum for the down-trodden.
Americans can afford to be generous.
The most trying thing to my heart, since
| have been here, was on board the boat that
brought US from London TO Liverpool last
Tuesday night. There were about twenty
cabin passengers, and over a hundred deck
passengers,-the latter being men, women,
and children, from one to two hundred hogs,
a dozen head of cattle, and several horses
They were all on one deck, in separate pens
divided only by bars. And there poor HUI
manity was on a level with beasts,-nay not
on a level;-for the horses had awnings over
them, and Humanity had none Several of
the women crept over INTO the horse apart
mont and appeared to be very thankful for
the little surplus of straw which the horses
did not occupy; most of them, however, were
in the open air all night. 1t was quite cold,
tremendous rough,-and many of the poor
creatures were sea-sick, while the spray was
beating over them constantly. In the morn
ing they presented most heart-rending spec
tacle. Many of them were Irish peasants
coming to England with their hogs and poul-
try to pay their rents to Lords who are ObHg-
ed to keep a score of servants, and ga coach
and FOUR in order to spend their income
This is the way they do up business in this
country. John Bull is a tyrant, and ''can't
be nothing else" Uncle Sam is a hypocrite,
because he says he is a republican yet holds
three millions of colored people in ''chains
and slavery" John Bull wants Uncle Sans
territories to help support Mrs Victoria and
all the little Nictorias-and | believe means
to have them yet. But if Uncle Sam will let
his negroes free, in six months, III risk all
creation to move him a hair. tell you JON
athan, it is for your present and eternal inter-
est to let the oppressed go free.

try singing negro songs.
