Il Friendly Voice from Ireland.

The following extract from the Galway
American, is an additional evidence Of the
fact that the hearty sympathy Of the Irish
race, wherever they dwell-whetber upon
their own soil, Canada, Australia or the Uni
ted States-is in favor Of the Union and the
perpetuity of our once happy republic:
; Cases may arise wherein rebellion against
| an established government becomes q duty;
but the revolt of the South against the Fed
eral Government Of the United States does
not come under such category. This South
ern States participated equally with the 9TH
ers in the progress, prosperity and institutions
of the country. Linked together by the free
est constitution ever formed, their interests
were identical, and no canse arose to justify
the Southern portion Of the Union in adep-
ting the suicidal course which it is now So
'nadIy and so crimina)ly pursuing. The
breaking up Of the great Republic would DO
a fatal blow IN the cause Of freedom all over
the world. 1t was a model of Democratic
power and an instance Of material progress
which had no counter part in any other coun
try. 1t was q home for the oppressed of
every land. who participated fully and freely
in all its grand institutions. 1t wasa rebuke
and terror to the despotc dynastes Of the
Old World. If ever government was worth
fighting for, it is that Of the United States
Their ships, their money. and the grain were

kindred have found refuge and a hsme, when

has peculiar claims upon lrishmen-claims
which they are proudly and bravely acknow
edsng, and loyalty paying in the gap Of
danger and Of death They are fighting not
alone for America, but also for Ireland, for
humanity and universal freedom.
The present war has reduced England to a
state Of psuperism, and the American tariff
has forever closed the markets of the United
States against her manufactures, whilst tie
Northorn States will become her competitors
