..;pferior classes % The "nigeers, the
nipgers," has been the lamentation Of cer-
tain ones who forget that it is not the
slaves who have given the country such
infinite trouble, but the 'Masters.
The rights of the dets"celess have been
trodden under foot by the aoro''gs OF
,saypers and hence the "voico OF blood
crying from the ground" M
{ 10 the latter howl of "the. Fenians, the
Feniaus." Next to the Freedmen, the
wrongs and sufferings of the Irish, call
for justice aud judgment to be done. FOR
too long time, altogether too long, the
Irish people have been both the dnpes OF
Romish Jesuits, and the sertS OF British
tyrants, No people. unless possessed of
I an inconceivable toughness, could have SO
long endured such fearful and protracted
cruelties; and now it is only marvellous
that they have any spirit left IN them to
rally for freedom.
In the 18th century, one of the Irish
chiefs applied to Henry II, of England
for assistance against his rebellious sub
jects, whereupon Henry seut the desired
aid, and more conquered the country,
like I" true Briton," and held it for him
SELF Here the Irish independence, was
put under the heel of British Kings,
where it still remains.
In the 18th century, Edward |. con-
quered Wales, but as compensation,
gave them his son as their Prince, and
from this circumstance, the oldest son Of
the British Sovereign, Is called Prince Of
Wales" Wales is not degraded by her
connection with the British crown; but
we hear of no Prince Of Ireiand!
Flushed with this success, Edward and
his son, attempted the conquest of the
Scots but the heroism of William Wal
lace, Robert Bruce, and their followers,
interposed such. hiudrances to the "Ed.
ward policy that the Scots we're not
conquered. In the reign Of Queen Anne,
constitutional union was formed between
the two countries, by which Scotch Piers
stand no lower than English Piers, except
to be I'd in order Scotland need not
complain.
About l775, England attempted to
conquer the Boston Rebellion :" but
didn't do it; and America has no odds to
ask of England.
English, Welsh, Scotch, and Americans
are satisfied with the two famous resou-
tions. which we're:
LIST. Resolved that the saints shall rule the
world.
3D. Resolved that WE are the saints.

the Irish, under the energetic efforts Of
Pitt, Ireland was united to Great Britain
in l80O-not as an equal. like Scotland
but still under the tyranical laws Of Eng

Lieutenant. which fact is a sufficient apol-

Ofcourse the American Government did
right in suppressiug the open invasion Of
Canada by the Fenians. IL it be right
to- help our worst enemy by sea aud By
land, in camp and in court to hold down
