Famine In IreIand-What Is America About
LET us see.

LET see.
Our table is literally covered with COM
muncations that we have received from hui
name and benevolent persons, begging and
entreatng us to address the sympathes, and ex-
cite the feelings of citizens, so that grand,
extended, and united system of relief may be
commenced and continued by every city and
town in the country, until the lowering clouds that
now obscure the horizon Of Ireland shall have
been dissipated, and the furnishing millions Of
that unfortunate country relieved from the evils
of pestilence and starvation.
We cannot, of course, find room for all these
communications, but our friends must not, on that
account, imagine that we are not willing and desi
to do all in our power towards forwarding the
desired object.
We must confess that we are somewhat
chagrined that general movement has yet
been made Our people, we panied to say,
have not yet discharged their duty as Chris
tisns in this matter. They appear to want some
powerful stimulus to arouse them to activity, and
shake off the apathy that, like coat of armed
mail, confines their energies and sympathies. If
such stimulus is really needed, it must be applied
in some way, because our elow-beings-our bro
theirs and sisters-a large part of the family of
our common parent, must not and shall not,
while America has the power to preventit, perish
for want OF food. We cannot look listlessy on;
we cannot relieve ourselves of the duty that it is
incumbent on us to perform, if we would we
cannot longer deliberate, for the time of action
is arrived, and further delay is death.
There many ways in which money, cloth
ing and food can be procured; and no one that
is not indisposed to give helping hand, can con-
sole himself with the thought that there is no fea-
sible way of distributing what he may contri-
butte.
The accounts received by the Sarah Sands UNI
fortunately confirm all that we had previously
heard, and depict the condition Of these unfortu-
nate people to be dreadful beyond parallel L.
shows that they suffering and dying from the
effects Of one of the greatest scourges ever in
flcted on the family OF man, and is it possible
that our citizens can look calmly on, and see their
fellow beings dying for want of that which we
have a suPerabundance of! Forbid it Christiani-
ty Forbid it all that is noble and generous
Apart from motives of charity and our duty Us
Christians, it is our interest commerce al and
agricultural people, to relieve the present dis.
tresses oil that unhappy country. 1t would set in
motion the Tecuperative, moral, and physical
force of the Irish, whose elasticity and energy OF
character are proverbial. BY aiording them re-
lief, new and vastly increased market for In
