Distress in ireland.

1t is indeed sickening to all humane feelings
to contemplate the profound and hopeless mise
~ prevailing III great portions of Ireland. we
have before us a copy of Sanders News, than
which no Irish paper is less prone to exaggera"
ton. Speaking of the Assizes in Tipperary
held at Connei in the middle Of March, it says
-" IF any one required to see the melancholy
position to which the country is reduced, he
would find it in the class of criminals THAI crowd.
Cd the dock Hitherto almost every man brought
to the bar was decently if roughly clad, most OF
athletic frames, and i'll rude health, and offences
for the sake of plumber were the exception, not
the rule. On the present occasion the contrast
was striking one-famlne tracing its outlines
on the features of the accused, drawing its con-
vergiug fnrrows to the mouth, and giving to the
cuumenancc kind OF half idiotic, half woolt-
iSh expression. There was arraigned the child
whose head scarcely reached the IRON bar which
the murderer had so often conyusively grasped,
as the jury were coming out to deliver their YER
ct, and that child, who when asked, said he
did not know if he had father or a mother, was
tried for stealing some trifng article in order to
convert it into food. Then came the mother ac-
cused Of robbing some straw to make bed for
her children, who hoped to sleep away their
hunger, or taking some potatoes, which In hap
pier years charity would have bestowed without
being asked for; and trembling old age was
there rather asking than stunning prison, for

This meeting composed of the citizens Of

THE SCIENTIFIC AMERICAN

We have received the last number Of this ex-

great pleasure in commencing il to the patron

contributing their share towards reforming the
perverted taste, which seems to prevail in these

The following, we presume, will satisfy the
Wings at the North Of their alliance which they
have formed and what they have accomplished
in the election of Gen Taylor. The last para
graph speaks volumes We commend it to the
candid perusal of Northern antisavery wings
We presume that by this time the people of
the South are getting their eyes open to the true
character of theft natural allies" The fact is
that while the mass of both parties at the North
are opposed 10 the admission of Southern insti-
tutions into the new territories, the most perse-
vering and nveterate leaders of the new Free
Soil Party, are the old Marshals and Lieutenant
Generals Of Democracy, while the rank and file
are taken in at least equal, 1--WE think more likely
greater proportions from the same party These
men, from Van Buren, down, are the most bitter,
most radical, and most unrelenting Of the adver-
saries of the South. They are carrying out
with vengeance the spirit of the wild democ-
racy, of the free States, and aiming at the estab-
lishment Of the superiority OF physical force, as
the greatest controlling principle of free govern
ment
In Massachusetts, and Connecticut, the Dem
0cratS nave united WIN the Free Sollers TO pre-
vent an election of the Wing candidates. Here
is another exhibition of that brctherly love Of
the "natural allies" about which we hear SC
much. Look at your brethren, men of the South

o. The following choice sentiments, we
commend to the careful notice of the Free men
OF Vermont, as embodying the sentiments of
Shareholders upon those men who obtain their
living by HONEST LABOR; These shareholders
are the Inen who claim the right to depress and
cnslave and make the laws to carry out their Ty-
rancal purposes; and these are the sentiments
that will be carried into civil enactments unless
the system of Slavery is successfully resisted
by the American people,
Chancellor Th1rpe, of South Carolina,
teaches-"that so ft as the mere Iaborer
has the pride, the knowledge, or the aspira-
tlons Of freeman, he is united for his stu

horse or the OK" to whom it would be rid
lculous to attempt to impart ga cultivated
understanding or a fine feeling"
In relation to the democratic doctrine Of
the right of majorities to govern, he says
ut is no less false, and slavish and absurd
than the ancient doctrine of the divine right
of kings"
Gov. McDufie, in a message to the
Legislature of South Carolina, went SO far
as to say, that "the institution of domestic
slavery supercedes the necessity of an order
of nobility, and the other appendages of an
hereditary system Of government. OfcoursC

Extensive Silk and Shawl Store


Messrs. Jewett & Prescott's advertisement
appears in another column, and if we are any
judges Of men and things, it is no exagger-
alton Of the advantages to be derived from
a visit to the great New England Depot
for Shawls and silk goods in Milk street. Pass
ing through the main sales room or avenue Of
this establishment, which is $50 feet in length
we were ushered into an arched hall or saloon
some 20 feet by 40, richly carpeted and furnish
ed; and these two spacious apartments, with
two basement rooms of large dimensions, are
filed almost exclusively with shawls and silk
goods for the wholesale and retail trade. At first
glance, it would seem unjust to the wholesale
purchasers to have goods retailed from the same
eStn adjustment, but on reflection we think the
candid trader will admit this to be a mistake
ltwould be extremely hazardous for any firm to
import a stock of goods in equal magnitude to
that of Messrs. J. g. P, and rely singIy upon
either the wholesale or retail branches of trade
for market Besides, union of the two en-
able the PropIietors to cater for the tastes of

TEN that Stuart of New York, has arrived at
such distinction in the dry goods business and
it Boston was as favorable a point of locality,
there would be another establishment in no res
pect inferior.
Considering the large proportion of shawls and
silk goods that are brought out under the infu-
ence of this well established house, the low
prices at which they are always offered, the SUI
perior fabrics and the styles that always adorn
their counters, we cannot appreciate the motives
that would induce any lady or gentleman to

THE GREEN MOUNTAIN
MAY DAY,

The little folks of our village seem to have had
a fine time on the first day of May, the boys Of
IA and under riding in troops in the forenoon,
and holding their out door pic MICS with the girls
in the afternoon. We noticed one Cohort Of
little Misses numbering about fifty, marching
through the streets headed by their May Queen,
wearing uniform hats furnished them for the oc-
casion by Maj. Burnham from his store, and all
sprigged out like wood nymphs. Others may
look at this spectacle as they please, but we con-
fess it interested us and we should not be sorry
to see our older youth join the innocent festvi-
ties of the day.
