IMpOTENT MALICE.

lMPO JENI MALICE.
The London Times, in the language Of The
Union, is becoming alarmed al The state of Ire
land ard especially al the sympathy and aid her
miscries have evoked from every part Of tie
world 1t resenis the interference of foreign
countries 10 prevent the Irish from starving as
an intrusion upon The special privileges Of Eng
land II claims for the Irish the privilege Of
starving, without let or hindfance. The follow
ing is its language:
"Ireland, The sister of England, her ancient con-
Quest, and still loo much her dependant, is now
begging and receiving The aims of the whole earth
No distance, no difference Of race or religion pre-
vents the intrusion Of her claims, and, il is fair 10
add, their ready admission But can we feel I'M
mixed satisfaction in hearing that our rivals and
our calumniators, in whose mouths Ireland has
ever been tic wors. opprobrium their jealousy,
their malice, or their ignorance could suggest,
are now bcstowing their charity on our uniortu-
nate e!iow-subjecis From all parts OF the u.
States have come subscriptions mixed with a
sympathy neither Raitsriag nor safe 10 his nation.
At Cons,antinople there had been a subscrip-
ton, 10 which the Sultan has largely contributed.
The Pope has ordered prayers and collections for
Ireland in all the churches acknowledge his au-
ihori,y From the East and West Indies we can
better receive such expressions OF interest; but
we cannot honestly profess unqualified pleasure
al hearing that Marseilles had subscribed more
for Ireland Than ior The sufferers by The inuEda-
tons in France"
Yet, with all its jcaIons hate for our Rcpubii-
can institutions, il cannot conceal its alarm lest
our eupply Of food for is starving population
may fail. It apprchends tha, Tie statements
made will, reference TO the insufficient stock Of

ton. In direct contradiction OF the passages
quoted above, the Times evidently means 10 hold
out the idea that, il England is TO slarve, The U.
States are 10 be answerabc for The murder. In
is il-conccaled passion il says:
"'rhe United States have yet 10 learn how lii
lie they can DO. Thcy can annex Texas, appro-
pirate California, and overrun Mexico, but they
cannot feed England. The enormous estimates
theY have paraded 10 the world only show that
they must begin The calculation afresh."
Hear i; again:
"Wilh the granaries OF Europe exhausted, with
;he United States just revealing The hollowness of
lis boas.ed resources, &C., we see NJ chance OF
change escer. Tor The worse"
The ,ccalipg sranares of our vast country
wilt turn 10 ridiculc such absurd Complaints
Under the i:.ilucnce Of free Institutions and Anne
rican industry and homes! labor our people
will continue 10 supply the furnishing population
Of Europe; presenting 10 the world grand s!ec-
taclc ola nation with one hand Furnishing an nso-
Leaf foe, and with Tic other feeding the wealhcst
nalionc Of the old world. Let the LoLcon Times
corlne itself to this charge against us Of beast
ing statements OF our resources, ard The Atlantic,
middle and Western States will make il the laugh

never forgive US for The ability TO supply line
wants OF European monarchies. II is too strong

Ii is not every Southern Wing press that gees
in blindly for Gen. Taylor, c!ouded in doubt as
his political opinions are at present, in the view
OF all reasonable men. Some of these Wing
journals like burnt child, will never forget The
scorching they received when They voted "with-
on, why or a wherefore" for Mr.. Tyler, v no,
in carrying ou his own principles, was comrell-
ed 10 sacrifice some OF The cherished measures Of
the ;horonshsoing Wing party. MIR. Willoughhy
Newton has taught them lesson which some Of
them will always remember-to speak out bold
ly and 10 sustain no man who docs not fully re-
present their poIisica! views. In Tyler they
"caush. TARTAR" in Taylor many OF them fear,
ard have reason 10 fear, they may encounter the
same fate.
The Wing Marion (Ala) Review is utterly al
a loss TO know what Gen. Taylors real opinions
are but whatever they be, that paper avows IL

name "paraded" before the people for the Presi-

the spirit OF which, mntatis mutandis, we COM

"If when the war is over, il shall be found thai

wings than 10 adopt him as their candidate
In Thai event, let our opponents take him. 'Prin-
