Working Girls.

AS nations advance in civilization woman be-
comes more respected in the State. AS the mer-
curry in the thermometer rises beneath the warmth
of the sun, so woman, beneath the light of civil
zation, rises in dignity and respect. The savage,
with his crude and misty ideas of right and wrong,
looks upon woman accommodation, supplied
to him by the Great Spirit to plant the corn, chop
the wood, and cover in the corner Of his wigwam
before her chief.
As we ascend the scale we find the tyranny of
to, what he is pleased to call, the weaker vessel
becoming less burdensome, until we come to wo-
mans land of promise, the United States' where
she has almost broken the last link in the chain OF
servitude that has bound her beneath the feet OF
creations lord.
There is no country where woman is SO general
ly respected, and treated so gallany, as in Amer

Irish Emigration -Can it be Turned to
Good Account?

Emigration from Ireland still continues. Every
vessel that leaves British or Irish port is crowded
with Irish passengers. Our native land is bleeding
to death, hundred veins opened and from
every one of them flows out her life Very soon,
at the present rate of depletion the country will be
drained of the flower of her young men and women,
and the whole island become waste
This is very sad to contemplate. We do not
want therland of our birth to become Wilderness
We would like to see, at least the bulk of the race
still clingng to the spot that is so dear to them by
all the hallowed associations of the past but the
question is, how can the evil be, if not prevented,
at all events mitgated In our humble opinion it
cannot be prevented. The Irish people aoi1 emf

temporary dullness of times that can by any posi-
bility occur in America will ever seriously affect
the exodus of the Irish people. This country is
too large, and It's too great ever to make
it an undesirable home for, at least an oppressed
people such as our countrymen at home, unfortu-
lately, are.
The question then naturally arises is, what is
best then to be done, seeing that it is utterly be-
yond our power to put stop to emigration, or
to persuade our people to stay at home, and wait
patiently for that "better day. which assuredly is
not and cannot be very far off?
There can be but one answer to this ;-let us
make the most of emigration let us try to turn an
apparent evil into real good, let make the
New Ireland the stand point, the base, from which
the Old Ireland shall be made free!
But many may ask is this possible? fit is not
possible then nothing is possible. The Irish race
this continent cannot be less than from eight to
ten millions the Irish element in America is about
one third of the entire population 1t is debarred
by no difference in language, or moral defect,
from rising to political power and the free nstitu-
tons of America give it the most happy opportunity
for exerting this power. There is in fact posi-
ton in America from which men of Irish race are
debarred by the slightest disability
But there is another phase of the question even
more bright However the American people may
differ to matters connected with home politics,
the entire American population, almost without
cepton, is inimcal and hostile to English insttu-
tons and English power and influence ON this Con-
tinent. It would take but slight pressure to rem
der the relations of this country and England such
that war would be the inevitable result In plain
language, the Irish in America, were they only
united, have the absolute power to make England
fight,-to pull down her blood-stained banner from
the remotest corner Of this Continent and to place
the starry flag of their adopted land over every
fort and battlement from the Great Lakes to the
farthest island of the Polar Sea.
Let us bear in mind that at home for the present,
we can do nothing. It is HERE the work must be
first done. 1t is here England fears 1t is here
she has been trying to divide us, and with what
success we know too well.
We can, with these ideas, forever before us, look
on the vast emigration from Ireland as blessing.
In every emigrant ship that lands we can at least
count on the receipt of hundred or two hundred
additional soldiers to the mighty host already here;
and although there are thousands of miles between
us and our country, we know that we can do more
home; and that with the increase of our numbers
and power in America the chances of soon being
able to free Ireland become every day stronger and
stronger.
The Irish republic. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1867-18??, 1867-06-22

earth, and, above all the rest that one which has
left them outcasts and wanderers without country
or a home.
Let us only find men who can rise to the level OF
our mighty and majestic undertaking-men who
are true to Ireland and Liberty-and let the Irish
race in America support them as they ought to be
supported, and the great power Of America will
henceforth be welded, not to shield the hoary and
blood-staned tyrannies Of Europe, but, once and
foreverto rid the world of their accursed existence
The late war, which blotted slavery out Of the
American constitution, and wrote universal lber-
erty" forever on the flag of the Republic, was the
greatest the world ever saw.
Our gallant countrymen-true rather to the in
stincts which God had given them, than to the
false principles which bad men had attempted to
infuse-entered into the contest with the usual en-
thusiasm of their nature and of their race. The
consequence is that at this moment, there are not
much less than 900 veteran Irish American SOL
diers within the bounds Of these United States
At all events there are, TO an absolute certainty
more than 100000 of them.
These men are no mere " featherbed soldiers"
They are Injured to war, every man of them-to
the tolls and dangers of the march, and of the
camp, and of the battle. They have seen all these
things with their eyes, handled them with their
own hands, studied them with their minds
They know all about them And they constitute at
least two-thrds of the military force of the Fenian
Brotherhood. Nor is it too much to say that
against SO, 900 of such men, even against half
the number, the "loya Canadian Militia" and the
three or the ten, regiments of British "regulars'
in Canada, would possibly attempt to make much
resistance as would save their &C honor-blessed be
the mark. After which they would be sent
present to their very rational, and temperate, and
chaste and " sovereign lady Queen Viotoria.''
Are the Neutrality Laws in the way? They
have already been repealed by the ruling power Of
tn American government, the House of Represen-
tatives. And if certain English merican funkes,
such as SUMNER, and REvERDY JOHNSON, have ar
rested the process of their demolition-and so
proved themselves as false to liberty as they are
loyal to England-and if the present American
Executive has shown itself the plant tool of the
same truculent power, we have this consolation
that the great American people, if properly APP
pealed to, and the great Irish people of America,
if they will only do their duty to themselves and
to their country, will very set all these things
right. For Senate, and President and Secretaries
of State must be taught the salutary lesson that
they are not the tools of England but the servants
of America. We shall continue, and, if possible
conclude, the consideration of these topics in our
next ISSUE
