sTAkIFoIc OF lREkANO.-Among all the
people of the world, with genius radient and
ippulsive, and with valor that has been attest
ed soa ttse hardest fought battle fields of Eu-
rope, the Irish people have suffered more, anu
most preserved their personal identity, while
nfkeciutches of government that has crush
ed s7auocence and oppressed weakness when
ever its purpose of money or power justified
the proceeding. Irish yalor has gilded the
British escutcheon with its brightest glory.
Irish ;eloquence has given England name
and "a fame throughout the civilized world.
ID The great contest which is now waging be-
tween the exercise Of the leg itimate power in
a free government and dominion of the vio-
lepcc of rebellion, the Irish people are being
aroused not only to expressions of sympathy
for an ancient friend and relative, but they are
Nursing their ancient hatred of wrong by
boldly opposing the presumption OF the En-
glish government, in seeking pretext to in
terfere in the domestic relations of the gov
the side of freedom, and therefore opposed to
British diplomacy-and when that diplomacy
seeks to embroil Great Britain and the United
States, the British ministry must look else
where than in Ireland for men to sustain their
wropgs. Already have the Irish people enter
cd their protest against all British interference
id the quarrels of the American people, un-
less it be the interference and sympathy which
that and all other governments owe to our
own, to prevent the violent destruction of in
stitutiors in which are centered the hopes of
religion, humanity and peace throughout the
world. However much the British aristocracy
may sympathize with an effort to destroy free
government, the British throne rests on what
is called constitutional liberty, and when the
Federal constitution is obliterated, the boast
ed MagnaCharta of England may be the next to
fall and be destroyed by the same ruthless
hand of oppression. We must cherish this
sympathy of the Irish people ier the cause OF
constitutional liberty on this hemisphere. 1t
wili;eventually be the means of checking the
fell spirit OF English despotism, so long dis
guised under English hypocracy, simply be-
cause the government Of Great Britain dare
not trust her armies, when composed of Irish
men, in conflict with the people of TIL:

CHANG 'EM."-The Memphis Tennessee,
.4raianche, says: 'sHang 'em, yes, hang them
every one. Every East Tennesseean found
recreant to the will and interest of the State
of Tennessee, and known to be actively con-
niving with its enemies, should be hung, and
loftily. When the citizens of State have,
by an overwhelming majority at the ballot box
determined on its foreign policy, and by that
policy have been necessitated TO arms for the
defence of their homes and fire sides, every
resident on the soil of that State who lends or
gives aid to the invader, deserves as little
mercy on earth as Beelzebub will give them
in his empire. Wherever the cobra-like h cad
of treason is lifted it should be stricken off,
and that quickly, for its poisonous saliva is
contagious, as the airs of Maremma. "Hang
'em, hang 'em'' every one.

THE RAFTsMAn's JOURNAL,

The strong hopes that the United States wou Id
force Great Britain into the position of an
ally to the rebellion will be rudely stricken
down by the determination at Washington.
The traitors have been keeping up their cour-
age by expectation of assistance from England
and France. King Cotton having failed in
compelling this alliance, it was hoped that the
Mason and Slidel difficulty would insure it.
This hope to the traitors is now dissipated.
Rage, derisiOn and sarcasm, will be the first
manifestation. The 'cowardly Yankees
will be ridiculed in all quarters, the bitterness
of the taunts being aggravated by disappoint-
ment and sinking hearts. The best consola-
tion that loyal citizens of the Union will have
is that complication with foreign Govern
ments has been at present avoided. vigor-
Gus and triumphant prosecution of the war
must follow-peace will be conqured-and as
tor Great Britain, ave bide our time.'

~ A SHARP CoNTRAeToR.-The Congressional
Investigating Committee have recently had
their attention called to the case of Pennsyl-

tomac camps with frewood at 81 cord. 1t
is said he procures the whole supply from
trees already felled by Government, which he
pays fifty cents cord for cutting. 1t is then
transported to the camps by Government wag-
'ons. The inventor of this little plan thus
clears, if our information be correct, So so a

zfCLAMoRous FOR WAR.--It is noticeable, but
notin the least strange, that those journals
ard men who have been most in sympathy
with the rebels, should be most eager for war
With England. They have all at once terri
bly, keen sense of national honor. They were
exceedingly tolerant of insults to our flag when
they came from Southern rebels when
they involved merely the overthrow of the
Constitution, the disruption of the Union, and
the permanent destruction of our national in
tegrity and life. But the slightest hint that
England questions, in any particular, the per-
feet prepriety of our proceedings, arouses all
their courage, and demands an immediate de-
ciaration of war. This is perfectly natural
Tor it gives the best possible guarantee for the
accomplishment of their designs. This will
account for the valOrous conduct of the arch
Breckenridge demagogue and sympathzer with
treason Vallandigham, of Ohio, in Congress.
We have no doubt the s.Old Public Function
ary," is in for war with England too, although
he backed down from 'sFifty- four forty or
fight" to oForty mine and Flunk,'' during
Polk's administration. Meantime the matter
is in the hands OF the diplomatic officers OF
the two governments, and we may rest assured
that so far as the President and Secretary
Seward are concerned, the national interests
and honor committed to their charge will be
carefully guarded.
