SMITH o'BRIEN-HIs INHUMAN TREAT.

MENT.
The Dublin Nation of the let nit appeals
to Trishmen generally, Catholic and Protestant,
those desiring Irish independence, as we'll as
those cherishing union with England, to inter-
fere by remonstrance and save the life Of the
Irish patriot, Smith O'Brien, who, the writer
says, is being slowly murdered at Maria
island. It's language is ievered and strong.
Nsays:
lie is Gagged in the closest sort Of Confne-
ment. His food is scanty and lOaihsOme. fle
has no ComfOrs--nO attendance. He never sees
the face nor hears the voice OF a friend. He
is denied the common requisites Of decency
For months he has not been allowed change
Of rliment or permitted to change his dress.
This will be questioned, disputed, dishes
/ lieved. No wonder for it is monstrOus and
incredible. But we write every syllable Of
it on the authority of one as incapable of ia lss4
hood or exaggeralion:as Of murder. 1t is the
literal truth.
Nor is this the whole. In the foul den wherB
he is thrust, like chained reptilC, one gene>
rous girl, OF the age Of ten years, daughte
Of the goVernou sought, with the instructive
charity Of her sex, to sOlace the OapiiVe's caro-
and tighten his suffering by kindly Offices,
and forthwith, on pain of new pftvation,
O'BFien was forbidden evet to speak to her
again. He lost this innocent familiar, whose
childish beauty and guillessnees, perhaps, spoke
to his Iather's heart Of tho orphaned darlings
who weep for him at home.
In this monsters power--tortured, outraged
maddcned-lves your countryman, the son
Of your kingliest house--the generous PATROL
who fought and fell for you and us all.
Is this law? Is this usticet Who 10 sc
brutal here ns to defend such barbority? What
partisan OF British rule dare stand up in these
Islands ands vindcats this dark, COW wardly
and helliOh prosecution?
Does the law Of God Justify it2 Does tn
law of man Ordain ia Will the people o
England sanction it? will the people Of Ire
land endure il?
Youm ust interfere, and save this mans life
for, we tell you, both are threatened.
We say this advisedly. No human con
stancy can long Withstand the tortufng cru
city O'Brion suffers. No bodiv strength cal
triumph over the privations O'Brien endures
Alter further appeals to lrishmen to interfer
and save O'Brien, the Nation makes the fol
lowing announcement:
These tidDgs have produced profound In
i preston in Dublin. They have excited in
tense indignation. A committee is bein
formed Of men Of all parties, and, II we haV
\ not mistaken Irish hearts, there will be dt
q nunciation that shall ring throughout the Ian
= like judgement peal-a remOnstrance whic
it will not be safe for any government to de
spse or safe for any government to dlsobey.
9 We hear, indeed, that the Queen Of Engan
comes to Ireland again this summer--come
for the ovation that monarchs love from petite
: slaves. But we warn her and her minister
o that, as surely as she sets foot on Irish SO
II while O'Brien is thus tortured and degrade
!, so surely shall his blood be fOuted in her fac
E. This promise we will see fulilIed.

Mr. Prentice of the Louisville Journal says
he has heard one of the strongest democrats
in that city, say that he wished Mr.. Clay could
be elected President Of the Senate, and that
Mt. Fillmore would resign. We should then
have old Hal for President. This is surely
one of the triumphs of Time. No public man
that evel lived, has probably been so villti9d
and traduced by politicaloPPonents as Mr. Clay,
and none ever lived down so many calumnies
in the short space Of six years as this illustri'
GUS statesman has done. Ifthe vote for the nexi
Presidency could now be taken, there is littl'
doubt, he, Notwithstanding his advanced age
would be the first choice Of the nation--lor h'
now occupies the confidence Of all parties.

YOUNG LOVE IS. OLD LOVE.

Beware! beware! Of old mems love,
Don't put your trust upon it,
For seldom is II strong enough
To buy you new bonnet!
It's very good 10 talk about,
And looks right well on paper;
But only go behind the scenes,
And see how it will caper!
An old man was not made to love
A beauiifuI young wife;
And nata's. kinsig orders such
A full supply OfstriFe.
Pray would it not seem strange 10 wed;
Young May with old December;
The blooming rose Of laughing lime
With the nut~bGr Of November?

NH. CLAY-THE NoRTH AND The SotfH.- MIR.
Clay is accused ID the North Of eaCrifcinr that
section of the Union in the Compfomise Bill,
and we see that some journals there, which
almost mutinied in the last campaign rathsf
than surrender Harry Of the West, now give
him the cold shoulder on nEcount Of HE support
Of the compromise. Atthe same time, Mr.. Clay
10 denounced BY Southern ulttds De having sacs
r6ced the South in the compromise bill. Hs
ihua stands between two 6res; but, however
he may be regarded BY the ullras Of the North
and South. HE position between the two IL
good evidence to disinterested spectators that
he has taken sides with neither, but is endeav-
oring to tender equal justice 10 both. W.

with success, and that he may live to witness
