WHAT is IRELAND TO DO!

Ones heart sckens at the ruined condi,
ton in which fam ne and political overthrow
have left that most miserable island of all
the world. Confusion, Reorganization, frag-
ments are. lying scattered about that ground,
and we'll may the lover and the patriot
pause in bewilderment at the sight. What
is Ireland to do! That is, what will those
patriots who are not transported or imprie-
oned, do! Or will anything they can do, be
of any avail against the power of the tyrant
England, and the old fate that hangs over
the land. IF John Mitchell were free to write
in Ireland o.morrow--he could not "create
a soul under the ribs of that DEATH" This
is our opinion-so dreary seems the prospect
of poor Ireland from this.
Still, still, somthing must be done. And
we honor any man who will never give up
the cause Of Ireland. The Romans were
grand people; after the successive defeats
Of their armies by Hannibal, the inflexible
Senate thanked the Consul Varus because
he pould moi despair Of Rome! Our applause
must follow those obstinate spirits that will
still hope against all hope. and lay the foun-
dations--though they may never behold the
pinnacle Of the building. The Dublin Irish.
man takes for it's motto perseverance,, and
tone of boldness which augure for the rem
nant of Ireland. 1t is probable also that
Mr.. Duffy will bring out the Nation again,
and try back. for q better scent and . oursr
track. The bail which he will doubtless
underlie will coerce the expression Of his po-
litical doctrine, and oblige him to eschew
any direct leading to a revolutionary end.
And, in fact, were he even at liberty to
preach armed resistance, the preaching
would be useless now-or would only gal
vanise dead body, as it were. Mr.. Duffy
will probably undertake the task ofindoctri-
mating the spirit Of the rising generation,
encouraged by hope that some future day,
compromising the disasters Of THE, will shine
fair upon tho liberties Of Erin. What els-
ments of power, Of resistance, Of success
were trampled into the gutter in ireland,
for the last four years. The elements wsrs
there, we're existing-could have broken for
ever tie power Of England on that soil!-
Who shall unteach Irishmen the teaching
and training Of seven hundred years Of do
mestic hatred and dissension! s'a1sd

CONFUSION OF ToNGUEs.-Several Wing journals,
ambitious to be thought in the confidence Of the Ad-
minisratiOn, occasionally present very contradictory
views of its policy. Taylor paper in New York
denies that Mr.. Squier, in giving pledge Of assis-
lance to the Nicaraguans. spoke by authority, but
founded his declarations ION language used by Mr.
Clayton IN casual, unofficial interview" The Ma
fionat IntenigeHcer says this remark is founded in
misinformalion
"We can undertake to state that the Secretary ex-
pressed views Mr.. Squier in regard 10 The objects
of his mission any other variant from those con-
tanned in his official Instructions"
The Republic some time since. held language con-
rmng the impression that these Instructions sustain
cd Mr. Squier. The InteEigencer inrimales the con-
irary, and the correspondent Of the New York Tri-
6une. writer believe. in of the Departments,
asserts that no such instructions given.
The Wing organs seem to be in the predicnment
of the disnrdery Church at Corinth "every one hath
psalm. hath doctrine. hath language. hath an
Interpretation, hath revelation" but holds
forth to the edicaton Of ihose that are Without

WONDERFUL EscAPE.-We learn from the Madison

Rising Sun, Mr.. Mclean, of Marietta, Ohio while
being put ashore from the steamboat Pike No. 9,
narrowly escaped drowning. The account says: MIR.
Mclean put into the yawl to be funded, and be-
fore the yaw ef the boat the engines were reversed
and the boat was run over. Mr.. Mclean was thrown
into the river and passed Immediately under the wheel,
which was still 10 motlon and, incredible as il may
appear was twice carried around the whole crcum-
ference of the wheel before it stopped. When
the wheel did stop he let go his hold and swan nearly

0REGoN.-It is now stated, on authority of letter
from Washington that Major Gaines has accepted the
nomination of Governor Of Oregon, and will embark
for his destination about the middle of November.
Thus has the gallant Gen. Lane, after being pur-
sued with perseverance bordering vindictiveness
been at last supplanted by Gen. Taylor. The reason
why the formal of decapitulation has been long
delayed is to be found in the fact that 'fend OF
the President could be found to take the place which
1t has from the first been decreed should he held
by the accomplished civilian and soldier whom the
late President appropriately, and if not with the gen.
eral acclaim, at least without objection from any quar-
ter, bestowed it, 1t is not the least rkabe feat
of this of prescription for opinions sake"
that Gen. Taylor, after rendering the Office severaly
TO three friends who would not take it, finally
compelled to dig up one who had Just been buried un-
der decisive majority in contest for seat in
gress, and thrust him over the people of Oregon, who
could have voice in the matter. We suspect that,
as between Major Gaines and General Lane, the peo-
pie of the territory, had they been consulted would
have reversed Gen. Taylor's selection, By repetition
with variations of the vote that excluded the Major
from congress in his district. 1t cannot be q
great while before the people of Oregon will have a
word TO say about their affairs, and will bear
these things in mind at the proper time. Meanwhile,
the people in the states. who look with surprise
and disgust this and similar exhibitions of nuler-
ance, where they had been taught TO look for repro
ducion of the course Of the first Washington, are
evidently taking the administration in hand as they
have opportunity; and predict, have not yet done
with it, There are states yet to speak in their soyer
egn voice-and that they will enforce the lessons i'm
pressed on Taylorism by Tennessee, Georgia, Penn
