In your issue of Monday last you gave inser-
ton TO a long letter on "renlans and Fenlan-
ISM" signed John Campbell. You will confer
favor on me by giving a short one, in reference
to that epistle. will not attempt to make an
exploring expedition with Mr., Campbell by the
"Strait of Babelmandel, or Gate of Tears" and
the some hundred other puzzling places that in
tervene between this "Babel" locality, till we
get to Honduras whore the writer informs us
"England gets her ornamental woods" How

after getting through what Mr.. Camobell terms
"Dref sketch" OF England's dominions | felt
greatly rel eyed, and could scarcely believe my
eyes on seeing "half million" of an army set
apart for the securing oil these little plots for my
old master John Bull.
Having but little leisure for investigating such
matters, and being, perhaps, wanting m mental
capacity, l cannot see so great an amount OF
security and strength that England possesses
la these extended ierritorles that MIR. Campbell
would have us to bow before and worship.
Indeed, think there is that within them which
a iellow-countryman OF mlEe would call "a
mighty strong weakness"
But TO come to the principal object of my let

they do no better in their big letters than lure
their tellow-countrymen from their motherland,
and scatter them broadcast over the earth y, to
hear this sage remark on Irish ameliOration:-"l

England can be humoled, and Ireland be sepa-

established at no distant day. Nov let us see
the method at the same time keeping IN mind

friends make one fund of all the moneys that
they are likely TO eXpend on war, Irish politics,

teach them to stay dthOme. England has not laws
in force to prevent this being done. 1t is quite

money and practical men 10 carry it out, why
should it not be tested? Respectfully,
