ranges himself on the side of the advocates
of centalIz atom on that of the men uader
whom the liberties of England - are losing
their strength and freshness every day as
Capitalization becomes more and more per-
feet. IL Is under the administration of Mr..
Walkers fIiencs that for the first time Lon
don, Liverpool and Manchester have al
soIbed the whole growth of population in
the United kingdom-under their admins
tiation that the whole Irish nation is being
expelled from the homes of their youth-uh-
Ger their administration that whole districts
of Scotland are becoming from year TO year
more and more the scenes Of starvation
under it that the whole land of Ireland is
passing into the hands of the millionaires #
England, who have already swallowed up
so large portion of that Of Britain-and
under it that the population and strength of
the nation, are rapidly diminishing, while
all the powers heretofore exercised BY the
municipalities are rapidly passing into the
hands of employees of the Government.
Such are the facts that present them
selves to the eye of every American that
cares to understand the true situation of the
PEOPLE of the United kingdom-the De-
mocracy-who should be our friends, and
would be such but for the race OF Macsyc-
ophants-a family that grows rapidly, on
the same principle, we suppose. tina. " i'll
weeds thrive apace." They are every
where seen 'booing and booing' to the mas
tiers of the people-to the men under whom
the people of Ireland and India have been
decimated by famine and pestilence and
here we see late Secretary of the Amerl-
can Treasury, and an aspirant, as we are
told, for the Presidency, pledging himself
for the services of millions of the people of
this Union to aid in the maintenance of the
system. We have no desire to see our
countrymen interfering in the domestic con-
Germs of any of the countries of Europe
but if they must interfere at all, we should
wish to see them on the side of the OPP
pressed, and not on that Of the oppressOrs-
not forgetting so totally, as they are accus-
toned to do, the distinctive principles upon
which our Government is based. Mr..
Walker would, we think, have been far
more honorably employed had he tod his
hearers that if they deemed their liberties
in danger they should make an effort to i'm
prove the condition of their people, in order
that they might remain at home to aid in
their defense. He might have told them
that in expelling the people of Ireland, they
were expelling the nation that had furnished
to England its best soldiers and its wisest
statesmen--that the tendency of such an
expulsion was greatly to weaken the Brit
ish Empire and to expose it TO attack-and
that while protesting so deep an interest in
the poor and oppressed people Of Hungary,
it was somewhat extraordinary that they
could devote so little time to an examina-
ton of the condition Of their far poorer
and more oppressed .fell0w-citisens across
the Channel, the unfortunate people OF Ire
land-or, in a word, he might have told
them that true charity always begins at
home
Mr.. Walker did not say these things, and
the reason why he did not may be given In
a few words. He had an Ak to grind, and
of that ak we shall take an early occasion
to say few words.
