Daniel 0'COnnell.

Emperors have gone down to the grave,
kings have been gathered to their fathers, but
seldom has their death cast so deep a gloom
over the hearts of their people, as that which
now enshrouds Ireland because her friend,
her benefaetor, her father is no more.
O'Connell is dead.
Those who are but oven partially acquaint-
ed with the history of that great man, who
know that for nearly half a century he labor
ed for the Acknowledgement, the elevation and
prosperity of Ireland, sacrificing in her behalf
place, and power, and emolument, can, to
som extent, feel how irreparable has been
Ter loss, and how worthily she mourns his
departure. Though a Catholic by education,
and strongly welded to that faith, it was no,
with Catholics alone that he sympathized /;
his benevolence and philanthropy embraced
all the children Of men, his love for his race
was bounded by no creed, cast, country. or
complexion. While demanding liberty for
his fellow-countrymen at home, he remember
ed the claims of his brethren abroad. The
conduct of American oppressors made the
blood boil in his Irish heart, and frequent and
scathiDg were the rebukes that in the spirit
of a holy indignation he poured out upon
them. He denounced them, to use his own
language, as traitors to the cause of human
liberty, foul detractors of the democratic nrip-
ciples which have cherished throughout INV
political life, and blasphemers of that great
and sacred name which they pretend to recop-
nize. In Reproduction Of that dis
graceful conduct, my humble voice has been
heard across the wide waters of the Atlantic.

| will continue to hurl my taunts across the
Atlantic. They will ascend the Mississinni.
they will descend the Missouri, and be heard
along the banks Of the Ohio and MonoDoebe-
la till the black man shall leap delighted to
express his gratitude to those who have sc
fected his emancipation"
Terrible as the lightning from Heaven woxo
the words of the Irish Liberator to the ,vraD,s
of America. They regarded his conduc, a.
a national as well as a personal insult. and
though unwilling TO forsake the sin which
was making them a stencil in the nostrils Of
the liberals of 'he old world, they dreaded to

A Mistake.

The Editor Of the Cincinnati Herald, in an
article proposing a union of all the opponents
of slavery, says:
even among the Garrisonians, we use
this name for the want of a better, but with
out the least intended disrespect-there are
many who wish to carry their principles 10
the ballot box, and we think these are right
so far. If disunion be the true cure for Sla-
very, let the Disunionists nominate and sup
port men for office under their State Govern
ment, who will take measures TO accomplish
the desired result. Such a demonstration
would be infinitely more potent than a cart
load of resolulions."
This is a great mistake, and the editors
misrepresentation is probably owing to the
fact that a suggestion was made a year or
two since-which, by the way, met with but
little favor-for Disunionists to cast a ballot,
not for some one to take Office under the Con-
stitution, but for It's destruction. This pro-
posal was made, simply that it might be
shown at the ballot box how many of those
whom the State counted as legal voters were
opposed TO taking any part or lot in the Ma
lional OF State governments, so long as they
remained In alliance with the slave power
and pledged 10 its support.
Ii the editor had made himself better sc-
qualnied with the principles of the Disunion-
lists, he would have understood that the very
nature of those principles forms a barrier
against the political action through State or
National government of those who adopt
them.
Another mistake is in the supposition that
Disunion has been adopted, primarily, if not
solely, as ''the true cure for slavery" That
II is such, no one who has examined The sub
ject can reasonably doubt; but if withdraw.
al from the American Union did not in the
least accelerate the slaves deliverance, vet
Disunionists regard it as a step none the less
necessary, for i, is imperative upon them that
they cease TO be Shareholders, and this thew
believe cannot be done without repudiatinga
Constitution and a Union of which chattel-
ism is the corner stone.
There are those who advocate Disunion.
simply as a remedy, who see nothing obiec-
tionable in the character of the National Con-
s%titution' or if they do, nothing which they
may not for the sake of expediency, promise
to support. These might accept of the Her
AIDS invitation 10 embark in the political
craft, and be consistent but not so with the
Garrisonian Disunionists, who, in order to
wash their hands in innocency have disfran-
chised themselves, and in political conside-
ration are willing to be ranked with the en-
shaved of our land, waiting in faith and in
hope the arrival of that better day when a re-
generated public sentiment shall restore them,
and those for whose deliverance they toll to
a common citizenship.

LIGHT IN A DARK PLAcR.-Connecticut is
beginning to move. There is a rattling
among The dry bones of her State Legisla-
tors. The Senate, by a vote of II to 3, and
the House, by l49 to so, have decided to re-
fer to the people-those of them we mean
who have a vote-the question whether the
word tchite shall be stricken out from the
State Constitution. 1t is but a few years
ago, that Connecticut imprisoned an eslima-
bic woman-Prudence Crandall-for no 9TH
er crime than admitting to her school colored
girls who were not residents Of that State
Surely, a great change must have taken place
in public sentiment since then. Evidences
are multiplying in all directions, East, West,
North and South of the better day coming. E
