Irish Discomfort and the Means to be
Adopted for It's Eradication.
DUBLIN, July 4, 1867
Alta moment when the disturbed subject Of Irish poll
tics is forced 90 much upon attention. IL do not
accord TO IL our sympathies did to the earlier
efforts OF the Fsnian movement We may be permitted
to say parting word before quitting the subject IN
too
Although the movements lately made In this country
and Great Britain by q certain portion OF the Irish
people, through the absurd and veual manner in which
they were conducted has aenatsd much of interest
and perhaps our respect yeti cannot be denied that
crying evils existed and still exist In the government Of
Ireland which call for some movement for their eradi
cation II seems strange, however, that the great
ory OF Irish patriots either ignorant Of the causes
Of their own discomfort purposely hide them and
ascrbe other than those which actually arouse
their endeavors TO subver British supremacy ireland

Irish poverty. The Irish peasant nature is strange
conglomeration OF anomalies, and no nattery

latter He ID born on clay floor in q mud cabin he
struggles through his weary life for the miserable
potato which Ia his daily fare, and IL except

letters come from the absent one and whom ths glorious
principle Of mankinds equality the kindly welcome and
fair reward for effort described, who wonder that
the contrast adds fuel 10 that burning hate
which Ms education had taught him TO hold for
the existing government Of his country. We are far
from thinking that the hatred Il undsssrved
