"WEDSEsDAY, April 10, lS4S.
my dear--, you will, / well know read
this letter Of your old friend with deep pain.
But when you contemplate the dreary and
eart-breaking present aspect of Ireland; and
contrast it with what it was In its majestic;
peaceful movement, under the sublime and
benign moral sway Of my ever deplored friend
and leader, august 0'Connell, you cannot be
surprised that, with 4 complication of private
ills upon me at the same time, the ties of life
are with me discovered, and in disruption for.

The highest aspirations Of my nature were
that should be OConnells principal instru.
ment of peace, his Head Pacificator of Ire.

OFMay the 5th the following resolutions
were introduced into the House of Representa-
|tives by Mr.. H. Steward, of Pa. They were
$50 drawn up as to embody the important prin-
|ciples advanced by Gen. Taylor in his recent
letter to Capt. Allison. As the locofocos OBJ
jected to their introduction. they were laid over
under the rules. When in order, it is Mr..
Stewards intention to call them up and have
q vote taken upon them:
1. RESOLVED, That "the power given by the
Constitution to the Executive to interpose MS
veto, is high conservative power, which
should never be exercised except in cases OF
clear violation Of the Constitution or manifest
haste or want of consideration by Congress"
2. Resolred, That "the personal opinions of
the individual who may happen to occupy the
Executive chair, ought not to control the ac-
ton of Congress upon questions of domestic
policy, nor ought his objections to be inter-
posed where questions of constitutional power
have been settled by the various departments
|ot government, and acquiesced in by the peo-
Iple."
3. Resolued, That "upon the subjects of the
tariff, the currency, the improvement Of ouI
lgreat highways, rivers, lakes and harbors, the
will Of the people as expressed through their
representatives in Congress, ought to be re-
sPected and carried out by the Executive"
a. RESOLVED, That "war, at all times and
under all circumstances. is national calamity
to be avoided if compatible with national hon.
or; that the principles Of our government, a.
well as its true policy. are opposed to the sub
jugation of other nations, and the dismember
ment of other countries by conquest. for. in the
Language OF the great Washington, why should
we quit out own to stand on foreign soil?'"

to endure.
The sum Of Christian Morality, then consists
in piety to God, and benevolence to Man; pi-
ETY. manifested not by formal rites and sacrifi-
ces of burnt-offerings, but by repentance, by
obedience, by submission, by humanity, by the
worship Of the heart, and by benevolence; not
founded upon selfish motives, but superior 10
even sense of wrong; or the resentment of
injuries. Worldly prudence is scarcely MOTTO
ed among all the institutions of Christ; the
pursuit of honor and riches, the objects Of am
bition and avarice are strongly discountenanc-
ed in many places; and an undue solicitude
about the ordinary cares of life is occasionally
reproved. OF worldly prudence, there are
rules enough in the Proverbs of Solomon, and
in the compilations of the son OF Sirach; Christ
passed no censure upon them, but He. left
what call the selfish virtues where he found
them. 1t was not to proclaim the common
place morality that He came down from Hea-
ven; His commands were new; that His disci-
Piles should "love one another" that they should
love even strangers, that they should "love their
enemies" He prescribed barriers against all
the malefficent passions; He gave as law,
the utmost point of perfection of which human
powers are susceptible, and at the same time
allowed degrees Of indulgence and relaxation
TO human frailty, proportioned TO the power
OF any individual. An eminent writer in sup
port Of Christianity, (Dr. Paley,) expresses the
opinion, that the direct object of the Christian
revelation was to supply motives and not rules
sanctions and not precepts; and he strongly
intimates that, independence of the purpose oil
Christ's atonement and Precipitation for the
sins Of the world, the only object of his mis-
sion upon Garth was to reveal a future state.

ATRocIOUS.-1'hs COmmercio del PLAZA, Of
MonIevideo, gives the following revolving ac.
count Of the execution Of an Irish priest and Il
young woman whom he had seduced:
"A priest named Gutierrez, ex-curate of the
parish Of Socorros, in Buenos Ayros, seduced
young girl Of twenty-five, named Camilla O'Gor-
man, the daughter of respectable parents, and
fed with her in disguise 10 the province of Ger.
tien'es, where they remained engaged in teach.

demned to death.
"Findihg that Camilla was encient, and un-
willing to pospOne her execution one short

baptized, and the order was accomplished by
pouring, in u spirit of mUckery, holy water
down the mothers throat.
"As they were being taken, with their eyes
bandased, TO the place of execution, Gutierrez
asked who was walking at his side, and Camilla
replied; "h is my child has been christened,

inns was given. One of the execulioners faint
ed, and another, while aiming at Camilla, turned
aside his head. They were obliged 10 fire three
discharges before the act asfuy consunmaied.
At the first fire Camilla was untouched, at the
second she was only slightly wounded, and at
the third she fell.
"What must have been the feelings of the
father of the wretched girl, and The Irish priest

IMPEACHMENT OF Mr.. PoLK-TuE HOUSE OF
REPRESENTATIVES, have already stated that
the House of Representatives passed resolu-
ton, eighty-fve 10 eightyone, declaring that the
President commenced the Mexican war, both
unnecessarily and unconsttutionoHy
The passage Of such a resolution is not
enough. The House of Representatives must
follow up this declaration, and draw up bill Of
impeachment against the President, and have
him regularly tried before the Senate, or be dis
graced, as representative body, before the whole
world. II Mr.. Polk, the President Of the Uni
ted States, commenced the war against Mexico,
without any necessity, and contrary to the con.
slitution, he ought to be impeached, tried, con-
victed, and punished, according to the constitu.
ton, for such grievous offence. The House of
Representatives in passing that resolution, the
other day, have affirmed this proposition; and
we call on them, in the face of heaven and
earth, aud according TO all principles Of sound
morality, to 90 forward with the work, and
bring the President TO justice, in the proper way.
There is no alternative left to the lower house
of this thrtieth Congress, but to proceed in this
course, or be damned 10 eternal nfamy, through
all future time.
