there is strong minority at the North which, though
minority, contains its full share of character influence
and wealth. who disposed to maintain and respect
the rights and the property of the South and who IN

Total emigration in thirteen years


Bear in mind too that emigrants for the most in
the prime of lifeour-ths Of them under thirty
and how the vital force of ireland has been drawn
away. -. -
Nor must we here omit to mention the evils inflicted
by the famine and sickness of l8467 1t is calculated
that the total deaths in Ireland from 1886 when the
famine began, to the end of 1850, when its effects may
he said to have ended far mortality is concerned,
were $4,000, from which, deducting 100000 as the
probable average mortality of the PERIOD there will re-
main $4,000, which may fairly be attributed to the
famine, or the diseases it engendered.
In Ireland, where the Migrants numerically great
er than the assumed OF births over population 1t
is probable that the Census of 1861 will show the
population to be as low 5,000,O00,-Which will be-
nearly 100000 less than in 1921, and 100000 less
than in 1841 But, bad the famine and emigration
not operated, the Irish population, which was eight
millions in l84l, ought to exceed ten millions in 1851
We have carefully avoided all overStatements In this
article taking our facts and figures exclusively from
Parliamentary and Official Returns. 1t is really shock
ing that Ireland with her capabilities should thus ex
hibt such evidence of decay Bad government, perse-
vered in for centuries has eliminated at length in this
ruin. q: -.
/ Strange that where Nature loved TO trace,

I And every charm and grace hath mixed

Wilmington journal. [volume] (Wilmington, N.C.) 1844-1895, 1860-05-24

Thus, in the ten years between 1921 and 1881, the
Irish population bad increase of nearly million
Between 1881 and 184l the increase less than half
Million but, in the latter year, Ireland had over s.
100000 inhabitants Between 184l and 1851, the Irish
population fell off million and half In the five years
between 1851 and 1856 this reduction was increased by
100000 inhabitants and in the year 1859 the to-
tai population of Ireland is nearly 900 less than it
declared to have been nearly forty years before by
the Census of 1921 and more than 100000 less than
it bad been in l84l. This is certainly going from bad
to worse at very rapid rate.
Emigration and starvation have united thus TO de-
press and to depopuate Ireland. We can show from
Parliamentary Returns, up to 1857 inclusive, and by
the abovequoted Report of the Registrar General of
Ireland what has been the emigration during the last
thirteen years. Here are the figures r
10 the five years from the end of 1886 TO the end OF
1851 the emigration from Ireland amounted to 422,
200 persons In the eight succeeding years. that is to
the close Of 1859, the account runs thus -
