ers? Was it merely the voice of a
sudden emergency, which would
pass over and nevcrrecur? Believe
not that suggestion. Let no man,
or body of men, or section, or par
~, or policy, seducc YOU into the
belief of such thing. The narrow,
selfish. atheistic policy which has
closed the ports Of the Old World
against the productions ofthc New,
is broken: lis mischievous power is
departed. Tie cry TO America for
bread is not the clamor Of tran
silent emergency. There is no hope
that the potatoe crop Of next year
will meet with better fate than
that Of the past year. No one car,
give any reasons for hope that
this crop will recover from that mys-
FERROUS blight Which seems to in
crease in extent every year. In
short, this gross staff Of life may be
considered as entirely cut cf. It's
doubtful whether it will ever be de-
pended upon again as chief ar,i-
Gle Of subsistence, even in Ireland.
