| Il is witt shudder we see the ad-;
vent OF those distressing scenes, and
heart'rendlng outrages, that have mark
ed the history OF Ireland for years past
A war OF races highly embitiered by
Religious blgotry, has been the curse oil
that unfortunate counIry. The Saxon
las presented the sword in one hand
and the Protestant faith in the other,
aud demands that the Milesian be,

properly reyoltS from th,.t system oil
conversion, and can see nothing in the
religion OF his Saxon enemy that is
worthy OF his admiration or love, but
tanks he sees therein al engine Of op-
preston, and consequently shut his
leart against the truth, and elings with
Ionder mold to the system OF errors ioI
whlch he is thus prescribed, and to the
\ .IpltesIS OF tnat system, But the evil

have the Orange lodges organized
throughout that country they are Sc.
cret political associations OF armed
men, bound by solemn oaths TO defend
the Protestant faith, and the Constitu,
uon OF Great Brtain--then comes
their antagonists, the Ribond lodges,
likewise secret, oath bound bands o.
armed men formed to defend the Cath.
oIic faith. Such are the secret orders
OF Ireland and their Objects, and many
have been the acts in this drama OF
thelr strife, that will compare with the
Louisville massacre; such are the po.
lItlcai societies Of Ireland, which have
Theoretically sealed the Irish mind
against the truth, and makes the Cath>
ollc church of that land the strongest
c'!adel OF Rome in Europe, and con-
stltutes it Papal SebaSlopol to the
Protestant world.
Now permit me to inquire with a
sad hear--inade sad by the circum.
stances OF last Monday--the glare OF
burning houses having hardly faded
IRON the eye; ring Of murderous tire
arms, fitting in the brain, and the bru.
tai threat, and cruel, cruel jest OF the
lawless youths, who have Just tasted
blood, and yet feels himself secure in
the midst Of his sw orn suppoHerS--stlll
grating on our ears, together with the
angry scowl oi the maddened foreigner
-permit US to ask in temper OF mind
produced by such circumstanCes--Ar
we prepared 10 transfer this European
system oi prescription, and the social.
ed religious influences OF such nation:
as Ireland, to this country ana give a
permanency to those factions ioundet
on race and religion? May God pre-
Serve-us from the calamity. And lei
ministers OF Christ forbid it. And lei
all men unite in driving the curse
from the land j. MITCHELL.
