Revival of Domestic Industry, &C.
From tins place, the capital OF TipPerary, write
Ny letter will meet the eye, and receive the peru
sal of many an exed child of this unfortunate land
but if So let il be as the warning voice OF TRUTH
forbidding tears for their exile, asking regret for
their folly; for however disastefu the fact, yet il
is tue that scarcely one emigrant in America has
not his portion of just blame in causing the msfor-
,une of his country. Thirty years have rolled on,
and during that long period, energies, toll, study
and resources in their most extensive national sig
MITIGATION, have been uselessly expended in the
most ideal agtatons. Philosophy could not assert
her might in the vast domain OF this colossal
labyrinth, that reason could not fathom, argument
convince, or discussion explain. 1t was understood
as "Repeal Agitation" Alliances" )" Leagues"
and host of other convenient phrases. Each
contains in itself the elements Of destruction, and
80 each worked out its destiny and died, as each
deserved. Famine and pestilence succeeded, and
these, perhaps, were. greater blessings than "ag-
tations" Coming from the hands OF omnipotence,
they might be looked upon as the rectifyng princi
PIES out Of which new system Of national condnc'
might arise, and on the basis of which could be
raised superstructure honest in ts design, wise 10
its operations, and salutary in It's influences. But
come, but will lido, or may we hope for il? To
argue on the subject would be useless; 10 portray
,ur social position might be valuable. historians
and travellers have explained that system to be
corrupt. And so il Is. It's corruption and debase-
ment the natural consequences of Il national neg
lec,; the refusal to understand or discharge recip-
recal duties Communism, IN its most revolving
aspect, reigned theoretically III the minds of the
people, and its maturity into practice was only pre-.
vented by the vigorous measures oil liberal const-
tutiona government.
But all that is with the past, and from It we can
only learn wisdom. It's smouidering runs send
orih the broken wreath of smoky vision, deceit
fully conured up to delude and humbug the DIRE amy
minds of an ever overcredulous people. And yet
even from that convulsve mass OF broken faith aud
corrupt falsehood, there has arisen atom of its
dupcity, hoping for gain, and sure of IMMUNITY, in
its fantastic pantomime However, for the ma.
tional credit sake, must state that the atom is re-
ducipg, and certainly will diminish by degrees,
until II vanishes into thin air. But though it may
lack support here, and be understood, with all its
hollow pretenslons, yet, at your side OF the world,
much psrspicuity as TO his nature and design
may net be found to exist and the voice of "Burgh
Quay" may consequently find echo in the
hearts, and response from out the pockets of the
Irish in America. But you, am sure, will not be
found slow in exposing the chicanery and dis
honesty of the knaves who now seek, under pre-
tence of repeal, to openly rob the poor furnishing
peasant and artisan Of their last shilling more
heartess piece Of cruelty was never sought to be
perpetrated than that OF conjuring up the vain
phantom of repeal for peoples worship. IT'S
monsirous humbug, an insult TO the intelligence
of the nation, and can only be explained by The
straitened position of its advocates, who hope by
its means, to put n few pounds in their pockets
The crops of this year are decidedly, as a whole,
much below the average produce The early
planted potatoe has not escaped the blight; aud the
late sown ones are coming from the ground quite
stunned in growth, and excessively deficient in
quantity. Indeed, an half crop would be an over
sapgune hope 10 have realized, reg ards that es-
culent. But even SO, the average, in a proper
uonal ration, is more than that of former years,
when one considers the immense iie Of emf
grafton that is now waiting at every ebb
such large cargoes OF emgrants as the daily
journals record are leaving the various ports
for America. For my own Part, / must say that
greatly regret the fact, because can perceive that
this country there Ii an abundance OF material
to constitute, if properly worked, large empori-
am of national prosperity. However, as things
stand al present, can't hope much for a revolution
in our social character and policy. The wheaton
crop of this year is sadly deficient, and the grain
not AT all good. On ground which gave tea and
fourteen bushels Ia the acre in former years,
have not more than three, and at most six bushels
this year. The price, however is not HIGH even
under the pressure ct deficiency, the highest fl
cure up this being l4ks per stone of IA b. Oats
and barley have Produced well this year, and in ge
neral the green crops have turned out fairly. The
growth OF flax has been success sfully extended in
Ireland this year, and though It's culture has been
narrowed az yet, owing To local preJudices want

condition Of the country. BY degrees the wisdom
Of The Almighty Is being vindcated, ana each
new day is throwing light upon and explain
inc our past suffe rings from out of which, doubt
not, will arise the redeeming spirit Of our stny.
As first step towards happy contamination,
much and serious attention is being turned towards
the development of Irish resources, and, I'm happy
TO state. with much SUGGEST. g. / may mention
that of Irish peat. AT Robertstown, County Kill
dare, the "Ameliorsiion Society" have turned ca
plial in that irection. They have erected a regu-

and the consequence is that the dreary moor and
wild beg have been tuned into c California. Men,
women, and children, are assuming comfortable
position under the influence OF constant employ
ment and remunera,ive wages, whilst the company

Of charcoal per week will be manufactured 30 soon
as the buildings are completed The company are
AZ present supplying the President OF France with
a large quantity, and over 90 tons have been lately
exported To that country, whilst the orders from
England, received by them, amount TO over ten
horsand pounds. See what energy and capital
will do.
This company, besides employing all for miles
round, have also taken one hundred paupers

living in comfort and Independence by their labor,
fulfilling the great hat of nature instead of wither-

house. In Dublin, also, the "boafd ot Irish Man
