There is still nothing in the tone OF Irish jour-
nalism to hold out hope to the practical yaga- Il
bonds in the United States who have con-
siderately taken the grievances of ireland into
Their calculations Of future conquests under
the black banner. Orange and Green, Protes-
tant and Roman Catholic, -repudiate alike the y
intervention of fillibusterism. This is one OF I
the most hopeful features in the aspect OF Irish
affairs. The Evening Mail and the Freeman's !
Journal, are as one upon the question, and an !,
influential Cork paper liberal aud Roman ;
Catholic), Indignantly denouncing the project
of an invasion by the marauders, hits upon
recent raw spot in the social system OF the
Uni.ed States as special grounds for Irish hos
tility.
s.AH the world knows" says the Reporter
"that to be an Irishman in the States OF the
Union now is to be under the rorst and maostin-
tolera5le ban of political and social exclusion.
The great aim and object of the native Amerl-
can race-as they call themselves, though de-
scended mainly from Irish stock-is to drive {
our countrymen not out of the Union, but to
make them in 1T "he,0ers of aoood and draacers Of
aoater'--litle eter an privileges and sninaunittes
than the negro himself From this persecution
of their race the Irish flying from the States
! into Canada, to find there freedom and position
denied them by the Republic The hour is
certainly strange one in which to think OF an
RI American Irish invasion of Ireland IN aid OF the
81 Car of all the Russians
Referring to the same topic, the Galway
Vindicator, now the Western champion of
> Young Irelandism, writes in the following
n truthful spirit:
e There is not a particle of the revolutionary
II spirit existing in Ireland. The national en-
g thusiasm which was created from 1943 to '49
"a has all vanished. "Old Ireland" and Young
IS Irelandp have long ceased to have political
10 existence In fact, extreme party politics
"a have all died out and the vehemence which
once characterized leaders on both Sides and
- which produced party contests so hot and
at fierce has fled from among us. The predom-
Id inant feeling in Ireland now is one tending to
" industrial pursuits the prosecution of improv-
:. ed modes Of tllage and the sober cultivation OF
habits which produce national wealth. The
Id population which existed ten years ago has
ne Ieen diminished by couple ofmillions. They
v re tbied or scattered by death and emigration.
: The multitudes who assembled on the hill
W sides at Tara or Tipperary to listen to the
- music of OConnelliS voice, and to respond to
n his impassioned appeals, are not now orthcom-
Il ing The very landlords have been swept
/. away in the social revolution which has taken
= place. The Incumbered Estates Court has
oy done its work, and changed the terrium doninos
lis the lords of land who ruled it with rod o.
iron under an old and exploded regime.
In aword, change is the peculiar word which
n best describes the condition of Ireland
changed landlords, changed tenants, changed
se notions of industry, and changed social habits
,se which lead to prosperity. And it is to such s
he country those fillibustsring adventures would
of direct their course and expect to be met BY
,se thousands of revolutionary Irishmenl w
ire wish to undeceve them, and to have then
v.s understand the true position of affairs. Their
are, Heaven knows, many fragrant abuses to b
corrected in Ireland, many reforms to be mad
ave in our religious and social Institutions and
all great deal of our rights and liberties, as IRISH
the men, yet to be won and preserved; but we be
.to lieve, we speak the general opinion when W
"s say that all this is not to be effected by an
ow other means than public opinion and the ope
it? ration of those constitutional forms which ar
the yetleft US. All the reforms we seek could b
ere brought about by the absence ofinternal div
- sions among themselves, real Parliamentar
tne representation, and the charities that are Dor
vas of Christianity, but never by imbecile reyolt
be ton or the foreign aid Of fillbustering adver
18th turers.
