stroycrs Of The hundreds Of thousands in that
fairest, richest isle of The ocean, if il be moi
those who have originated, and who still
continue the "present order Of things? -
None dare say that there is all unwillingness
on tho part OF the Irish luborer to work.
The same London Times as all know, a Vi
olent antI-lrsb paper, says that laborers,
from Ireland have inundated England; that
there are at this time in Lancashire
l06,S00 Of them: and tnat in Scotland and
England there are al least one million Irish
Iaborors, including their children. Would
not these have worked in their own country
could they Have found employment?
3. AS the system of tenantry can never
develope the wealth and resources of any
country, so, Of course, it has moi done it in
Ireland. The cultivator will not make per
manent Improvements, when he knows that
his lent will be raised ON him the next year
on that very account. For this reason, even
the land Which is cultivated YIELDS far less
than il would under any other system.
4. Again, the amount which goes 10 the
proprietors, their agents, and their middle
men, as they arc technically called, mounts
TO abont $65,0O0,000 per annum, SAC, ,00O,.
600 of which are sent of annually to absen-
lee landlords, never TO return to benefit tn,
country in any form. This immense sum
is an entire draught from The labor Of the
country, ard must inevitably deplete any
country almost 10 fainting.
S. Once more : the Chnrch, as establish
ed "by the present order of things" Out of
a population of 8,o00,O0O, perhi ps there is
not even 100000 who feel any interest in il,
and scarcely any Of this small portion belong
to the producing class. Yet the labor Of tile
country is obliged to support this church in
the enormous sum Of about S35, 100000
per annum. And according 10 an unconra-
diclsd speech in Parliament, the "prosent
order Of things" forces, at the point of the
b@yonet, a nominal but legal parish to pay to |
the legal but nominal rector from $4,000 to
10000 for religious services, when in fact
there has not been sermon or tectsr in
some such parish for twenty-five years.
Here then is abon, $780, 100000 TO be rails
cd by the labor of Ireland; for all property,
in every country, is the fruit Of labor. And
the more that is taken from The laborcr, th.
less he must have or which to live. And the
''prescnt order Of things" lakes TO the arv-
ing point. 1t is impious and insulting to
Heaven, to say that there has been famine
in Ireland; for in The very year in which we
were hunying vessels with provisions TO her;
she sent off 10 England the produce of her
own soil, aud the labor, in many instances,
of the very hands that afterwards died Of
starvation, more than $25,0O0,000 worth Of
good and wholesome provisions. Ten bush
els she sent to oIhers for the one which she
received liza farm raise fifteen tons of hoy,
and some one carry off twelve tons of it. and
The cattle slarve and die, did they como TO
their death by famine inflicted by the provi-
dcncc of God, Or by the covetoLsness Of the
"preseni order of lhings?"
In conclusion, let the above state of things
be fastened by the sword and bayonet upon
the faircs, portion of New England, and in
three or four generations there would be
about as much squalor, beggary and wretch
edness among the descendants of the pres
snt sober, virtuous, and Industrious people
IF Connecticut, as there has been in Ire
and. TIE like cause would produce the
sme effect in every country.
