THE IRISH in AMERICA AND TIE IRISH In GREAT
BRITAIN.
That The London Times should applaud the know moth
ing hostility TO the Irish both aaliens and Papis
Is natural enough The knownothings are following In
tbe footsteps Of England its stupid policy towards Ire
land
Made so by her policy Ireland has been not only Cath
ollie but to England alien also
Instead Of being an element of strength Ireland has
qured the presence Of innuerabe British bayonets to
keep down open and Ireland has been
highlands weakness Her own writer's confess It. What
has caused this bat the policy OF England in depvng
them Of civil and egous freedom? This destructive pol
lev Of England towards Ireland the know-nothng party
is attempting towards all foreigners and all Cathoiiesa
policy which If successful must what up to tlas
time has been strength and progress into weakness and
decay.
The inevitable consequence Of combination against any
class or casses Of citizens is counter combination in self
defence If party is the combination the counter
bina,on will be against that party If It Is the gorern-
ment which by its iberal laws strikes at the civil and
rengous liberty Of class classes that class or those
classes will combine in resistance This is ineyitatleas
inevitable as that effect win follow cause

has fully much fear from Irish dissemination with
America with France The language is the same the

Engsbmen who do not perceive that both France and Amer
lea are only waiting convenient opportunity to go to
with this country and that OF the stbows aimed
at Independence would be the invasion of Ireland"
And it is this stupid and destructive policy which Eng
land with madness and folly persisted in that the know
nothngs now urging upon their countymen Tor adop-
tiona policy which viii produce the disastrous re-
suits here as there and may strike down the brightest
features in our constitutioncvil and religious liberty
The Times approves of the principles Of the knownoth

endorsement the cruelty and injustice Of England to Ire
