ner of scaro barers the blood of the good and brave
for 50 many pieces of money is he ought to be, an
object of universal deestation But in our opinion it
may be fairly questioned whether either class of the
ey.doers to whom we have alluded has ever done any
thing like the same amount of injury to the cause of
Ireland as has been inflicted by body Of who
pretend to be Irish PATRIOTS but IN reality English
place-hunters Of such, in the persons of Judges
Keogh and Fitzgerald, we have full-blown specimens
But there legion Of others of not unsimilar kidney
whose present work is to earn the reward which the
political party they vote with will confer soon they
get into power It may be king hthood, such John
GREY the Repeal martyr" and patriot mimber for
the city Kilkenny has secured for himself Grit may
the attorneygenerahp Of some African bank such
as was conferred on Mr.. John Pope Hennessy. But it
will be something to excuse Tor getting the
patriots hand into the public purse Besides, it must
be confessed that the price of Irish parliamentary
patriots has not been high of late Perhaps there has
been too large supply IS it just possible that our
dear English rulers by carrying them to London,
and taking stock of them day and daily have found out
to their intense satisfaction that the best of our Irish
is not worth-we going to say
his salt-but we shall not. They have discovered to
certainty that the companionship of King Sambo, or
the levees of Dublin CASTLE about good society
they are entitled associate with The pay is another
matter Atno time must that be neglected
One of the most conspicuous of the class have just
described is man named Mcguire He formerly sat in
the English Parliament for Dungarvan but subsequently
transferred his valuable services in similar capacity to
the CITY of Cork Of course he has allegiance
about half dozen times to the English Queen. He is
great on Tenant Right, tremendous champion OF his
Church, and does the work of Earl Russell and the
English Wings in very devoted and admirable manner
On the 10th of March, 1868 this great patriot, Mcguire,
proceeded to bring the Of the Irish lamb under the
benign notice of the English wolves in Parliament
assembled" His object was not the lamb nor
tok the beasts thatare fattenng flesh Bah That
is for fools like the Fenans Your parliamentary pat
riots know better He simply wished to take the killing
of the lamb out Of hemouths of set of wolves called
Tories whom he considers his enemies and to give the
lob to another set of more cunning wolves called Wings
who are his sworn friends Disraeli must go out
and Gladstone must be got in. This is grand and
glorious object for Irish patriot who hopes by his
services to secure fat place.
The results were commensurate The Chief Secretary
for Ireland who used to be called Lord Naos and who
evidently is great animal Of the donkey species, at
present known the Earl of Mayo, made Speech in
which he declared that Fenianism all American
invention-that the Irish people prosperous,
tented and happy proof of which he cited the facts
that the last rebellion put down by Irshmen judges
magistrates and policemen, all were Irishmen-and
finally that there whisky consumed in the
country than ever" This settled the matter. Where
upon the Government announced their policy" which,
with slight exception, is exact copy of that of
their predecessors. Here it is:
