w. we CilP tiie lolloWlly SentlInehlS, from
that sterling paper the "Nationn edited by that
eloquent advocate of Irish liberty Thomas Darcy
Nc Gee. We are sorry to learn that this is the
last number ofthe Nation. Listen to his farewell
words
If Ireland were free tomorrow she should
draft her practical talent largely from America.
Soldiers, mechanic, engineers, overseers, she
could find only here. A hundred thousand
workers would be found to return from the
American towns, but few from the forests
Nor need America fear the abstraction of such
an element. 1t might create some temporary
inconvenience, but this country will always
hereafter be able to produce skilled labor suffi-
Gent to its own development.
We, therefore, think that all Irishmen ought
not to De ebowed "out West" but only such as
are unfit for town life beside the Atlantic.
Being settled in the towns; 1rishmen ought to
learn three things
l. To Reason.
IL. To Vote.
Ill. To bear Arms
To reason, for that is the first Mark Of man
hood-the insignia of soul-the crown and
glory OF humanity; to vote, for the ballot is the
sceptre of labor and the shield of the poor against
the usurpalions Of the rich
There are few simple mementos which
would aid man in reasoning and voting wisely
For example,
Remember that there are generally two sides
to every human proposition, aud that he who
would be a man in the fullest sense, is bound to
examine both.
Remember that blow is no argument. and
never can be used with out debasng the striker
beneath the stricken.
Rep1nnnhar that FOOLS hauo nn11lod voco. -
that children have given questions philosophers
could not solve. This teaches humility
If you are angry with an opponent count
twenty before you answer him. Then speak.
If an orator appeals to your passions to. pro-
cure him your vote, distrust him. He is knaye
don't be his dupe.
Do not dispute about religions, for Faith is
above Reason, and in trying to save another YOU
may lose yourself; live up to the laws of your
own church and leave other men to God and his
ministers.
Honor the minister of God in his official char
acter, but do not make him your proxy in the
government of your mid.
ga mans house is his CASTLE says the adage
Of this castle his own mind is the citadel Yield
that TO no man.
In the Presidential canvass in 81 and 2, for
example, effor;s will be made to create Irish
packers Tor ca Oh candidate. The friends of CaSs
Clay, End Seward will all put forth the case of
their candidates. Old speeches and letters will
be ransacked for compliments to Ireland and
every stump speaker will boast that he has Irish
blood in his veins. Ny bretheren, be not so be-
guiled into faction, Examine, inquire, reflect,
observe Choose your side and your candidate
on conscientious grounds, and stand by your
choice firmly and inoffensively. Why should
you fire the dirt-balls of faction Why should
you play the panders to personality or be the
body-guards of demagogues2 Remember that
you have friends in all parties, and foes too.
Remember that you were strangers in the land
but lately, and should therefore be discreet and
conciliatory Remember that when Ireland
starved for food and yearned for liberty the purse
and the heart of the Wings were as accessible
to you as the Democrats. Be firm and decided
in your preference for principle, but be not made
the tools and dupes of factious passion and pre-
JUDGE.
Do say too much on this head Alas the
time approaches when can trouble you no more
with my exhortations. Therefore, must speak
while yet can, and solicit your patience once
again.
