The following reflection from the Boston Times are
admirably opportune.
We have few words to say in particular 10 our Irish
friends They are asked to contribute Of their small
meanslhe result Of the bloody Of their most tuil-
some labors-no to accomplish any good end but to ell
cturage the armies Of desposm.' DO they know what
power is that is most anxious to have the Roman Re-
pubcans Overthrown by brute fece while she is
aray to act openly in the business? Are they advised
1t is their old enemy Of England, the evil genius Of their
native land for seven hundred years. thai is pouncinu
on the 'barbs rams from the Danube and advising The
foreigners to turn the waters q he Ti5er blood BY
bombardRg the capital Of the Christian world thus to
destroy works of art, and to number and children
as well as armed men?-W hat journal is it that most
denuunces the Romans and most seeks their overthrow?
1t Is the London Times, the lbeller Of O'Conne and
of every other I~hman that has dared stand up brave
ly against the English domination. There will be
gross inconsistency the part Of people who sh M while
denouncing the tyranny Of England in Ireaqd and er
cruelty in sending Irish patros.to penal colonies, raise
money to enable Austria and Naples 10 destroy Italian
patriots. Snch preceding wonld be destructive of
all sympathy for Ireland and the Irish anon. Aneri-
cans.
If Catholics and especially Irish Catholics, are des
Gus of contributing money aid their brother elgons;s
in Europe, respectfully commend to their consdca-
lion the state Of the Irish people That people, accord

The Irish priests, stated subjected dread
fuI suffering. Surely, these devoted men have much
better Claim to the help and assistance of rshmen in A
nerica, than have the despos Of Europe. faithful
Irish priest is million times better character than an
Austrian General. and to aid him will in history as 1t
must be before God, be considered better deed than TO
contribute funds enable Radetsky march upon Rome
and to repeat the horrors Of Bresca in the midst Of the
Eternal City To relieve suffering, and to preserve life,
are the nohlest of actos assist despus cause hui
man suffering. and aid in destroying life, are deeds
that should cover their perpetrator with everlasting in
fanny.
1t is attempted excite 'odam against the Roman
Republicans, by asserting that they have massacred
priest and thrown their manglsd bodies into the Tber.
These falsehoods invented and promulgated by Eng
ish tories, the beers of Ireland the hope divdno
the liberal party, thai it may be easily overihrown
everywhere. They are Of the nature as the ac
counts that have been repeated fom genera gen

the blood Of Proesans and ready oencaue in the
work of plumber and massacre. If the libeIs published,
respecting the Italians be received and acted upon
as gospel truths then will appausibe coIorug be given
