Houston down to Els'port. are reviving femi.
nescences Of Irish merit. in order to hasten the
kindly interference Of their country in behalf of
ours. While the popular diynes OF England
can see in prs,lence and fnmine only iudg
mcn,s from an uAgered Deity shifting Ireland On
her both checks Tor her idoa,ry. the favorte
preachers of America perceive hut an opportu.
nifty for the exercise Of active charity.
