press to hold up ndcule the people and their
planings that many countries have to great extent,
conceived the idea that Ireland IL semi-barbarous
isand whore the people always complaining. always

great extent among the continental folk whose opinions
are generally culed from the columns OF tho London
Tes or the Saturday xvier; but the clearer Judgment
OF American people, and the actual residence here
from time to time, Of many visitors from the United
statcs have enabled the Americans more thoroughly
understand the present position OF the Irish nation
