tive Union with Great Britain-not severance Of
the Union of the British Empire but restoration
OF their own domestic Parliament so that they may
| be governed in their own Island by laws OF their
own making. We cannot regard this otherwise
than as palpaby just demand, and lis concession
as certain to result in great practical benefits TO Ire
! land without real injury 10 Great Britain. we can
not see why al. ancient Kingdom, having popua'
ton OF Eight Millions of different race and ialtn
| from the English, should not have Legislature OIL
its own as well as g modern colony Of onetenth lis
nonnla,ion like Canada or Jamaica with still less
We should regard the abstract right with less inter-
est if we did not feel morally certain that Its con-
cession would lead TO great practical deliberations In
the condition Of the People.
I Blu, the Irish Millions nearly all poor the soil
which God gave for their sustenance having been
violently wrcs.ed from them by robber band, who
compel them TO cultivate ii such terms that three
fourths Of the produce enures TO those who do moth
ing and are legtmately entitled 10 nothing Thus
impoverished, the Irish solicit aid in their arduous
struggle against devourng Aristocracy which robs
them and with portion Of the proceeds hires sol
diers shoot them if they openly resist. They ask
this aid of al who sympahize with their suiterlngs
and their efforts, and the appeal has not been made
in vain Thousands-generally poor mer, but still
able and willing TO give TO such cause-have con
,ributed and the proceeds have been sent 10 Ire
Iand there to aid in enghtenng, uniting and ANNA
ting the People in their giant enterprise OF boodess
Revolution
Now it is quite probable that some demagogues
and false.h hearted men have busted themselves in
the Repesl in order to subserve their own self
ish ends We do not know that this could have been
helped we do not remember that any good cause
Religious Political or other. was ever exempt from
this sort of aid But that the great majority OF Re
pealers are deeply in earnest, and that the cause
itself is an emnently good one, we can no more
doubt than we can our own existence And, in
stead of creating instruction in Ireland we believe
it has tended 10 preyent instruction there. The
hope Of peaceful release from bondage has relaxed
the arm of many sufferer whom Despair would
have driven TO bloodshed And believe the
time is surely approaching when England will be
impeled 10 concede TO Ireland dome site Legisla
lature Say you this is imp robable! How long
since the Repeal of the Corn Laws seemed equally
improbable 1t is hard to resist the earnest and
perseverne demands of People. AT farthesi, the
next great " ar in which Eng land is involved will
compel her to do justice to Ireland.
Now the fears expressed by those who never
contributed Il sixpence 10 the Repeal funds that
those funds are squandered sapped-their
kind suggestions iha, they ought to be directed 10
the relief of he Irish poor, &c. &c. seem TO US die
,nted by the spirit of him who is recorded in Scrip
ture as qucrying Why wac this waste ct ointment
made 1, might have been sold for much, and
given TO the poor" &c. Depend on it. those who
have given freely for the promotion OF Repeal will
give none the less for the relief Of Ircands suffer
ing Poor and we shall be happy TO compare their
benefactons in that respect with those OF the enc
mics of Repeal But we do not think II would be
proper to raise money here for the suffering Poor OF
Ireland until an appeal for such action shall have
reached us from Ireland, and proper channels shall
have been constituted there through which Am eri.
can contributions securely reach those whom
thew were intended 10 relieve. But, whenever or
by whomsoever started. we shall gladly compare
the contributions OF Repeaers with those of their
adyersaries.
AS to Sir Robert Peel's strait we don't believe a
word OF it. He belongs by descent to the Cotton
Lords of England. whose interests at war with
those Of the Landlords and he seizes the favorable
moment 10 whip over from the Land to the Cotton
doubt that his change is dictated by considerations
living far back OF the Scarcity panic of last Autumn.
What demonstration that the Repeal funds are
properly applied has been sought by the Express.
or would satisfy il, know not Il sutlices US that
those who have contributed 10 those funds are con-
tent
Once more the Express exhorts to eschew
all .isms,' pathies,' and ologies, and stick TO
Wing principles With due thanks for the advice,
we must take the course dictated by ow con-
victions The Tribune lie not paper of the one
idea school, aud cannot be surrendered wholly to
party politics We must strive TO do what good we
may in every direction, and especially TO stand forth
the advocate OF depressed Right against triumphant
! Power. Whether we are more or less serviceabe
TO party this account, we cannot stop TO cal
culate but since those who dislike notions and
ways have he Courier Enquirer, Express, &c. to
selec, from, how can any harm ensuel IL does not
trouble us that their sort OF people remain in the
Wing party-we do not seek to turn them out-and
they will hardly go out because we are in IT, while
they have two such journals 10 assure them that our
notions are heresies, not countenanced by hlgs
generally Moreover, If the Express cannot enjoy
free discussion except by branding all as dema-
gogues, vagabonds and tricksters VINO differ from
II on any lnClueuLai question, VIC VIII Huoo'ot w
understand these imputations as merely used IN
Pickwickian sense hereafter Let Us by all means
have free discussion
! EY- We call attention TO the notice OF the Ward
Committee of the Third Ward We know nothing
of the difficulties alluded TO but general thing
We think il safe 10 rely upon the action Of the regu
larly appointed Ward Committee. Any other course
is obviously dangerous one.
