The 'Dublin Nation" still continues to warn the
British nation in the language of truth, of the losses
which that nation will sustain in a war with this

ly, and shows that, although Mr.. O'Connell can blair
ney the British government, and promise all sorts Of
assistance from ireland, the English Ministry will
reckon without their host. when they expect assis-
lance from the Irish people in an unjust war against
this country, which every noble spirit of the Emerald
Isle, who is downtrodden and oppressed, looks upon
as his ultimate home.-OhiO Statesman.
"IRELAND's NEUTRALtTY.-Our accession from the
policy and feelings of the empire is b beginning 10 be felt.
America has acted on il she has defed England-she
has annexed Texas against England's interest and wishes.
She occupies and states her intention to annex, Oregon
a part, says England, of the British empire-a part OF the
States, says MIR. Polk. A more direct defiance was never
offered-a more serious hurt has not happened to a great
power these thirty years. With the shores of The Gulf
in her hands, America will annex the West Indies ur
change them into a Federal and allied Republic. With
the Columbia river, she will cross Enaland's commerce
in China and Polynesia. How long, too, will Canada
look on IN contented provinciaIism, when the flags of the
confederate republics encircle il?
The very next struggle. between the Colonial Assem-
bly, and the British will either annex Canada 10 the
States, or force the Minister to constitute British. North
America an independent State with a treaty of alliance.
Such are the losses and %indIgnities Of England, such
her prospects in America. and how does she bear them /?
Oh ! with most pitiful grimace-immemorial arrogance
and absolute impotence-masuhr rage and spaniel crouch

and safety of England are at stake Submission say
The organs Of the government; submit to this. Ii is a
wrong and an insult. The Yankees-no, they don't
speak so hippanly. The United States are about to seize
British territory, TO defy British hostility. The land to
be sure, is larger than France-we were pledged TO keep
it; but, do you see, zoe don't Want It England has land
enough. May be it will weaken America And, then,
we hate WARTS a horribly wicked ugly thing They
sag not a syllable about ireland, though il gnaws at thsir

thought IT prudent to print these words:

'Celt excels the Saxon"
What a blunderer the fellow is / He tells us before
hand that he'll humbug US. We are seeking for the re-
sioration of Independence, with religious equality-fos-
tered manufacturers-a resident arisiocTacy-just laws
National Literalure-a Native Army-a fearless fag-all
The prizes of ambition, interest, patriotism, genius. and
industry and he says he will give US "a few concessions

Atlantic, who have not been very kindly used by the Ma
tive Americans Ay there are Irishmen in America
plenty OF tbem-stout fellows, and capital rifle shots
See them-hOw they dash into Oregon (young Tyler pro-
posed to give 1t To the Irish)-an army of occupation
The kin of these lrishmen fought in the Pennsylvania
line, or died with Montgomery of Donegal. They have
friends IN Canada-they have forgiven the .iot of a few
defeated bigors in Philadelphia--ihey love liberty-ihey
doat on Ireland and regard England-as she has de-
served
But why should we handy words with this foreign
SCRIBE Here is Irelands position, and let all the. world
know It that likes, and resent il that can. We court, and
are most grateful for the sympathy Of America. We ex
pect fiom her policy that opportunity which shall moi b.

shall resume our liberty as a right, not a concession. w,
shall owe England nothing for It's recovery and, least o
all, shall pay her for her reluctant submission to our pow
