QUE IRISH LETTER.
"A DUBLIN, Sept. 2Sth, 1872.
The "warning" given to the Irishman and the
~ of ireland has formed the subject Of much
Esussion both here and in England since the
- of my last letter. In England it has been
~ over and over again that sedition must be
"a down, and 80 forth; and that the Irish
HnDnal press breaches scdition from week to
- In this country, on the other hand, 1t
been asserted with equal pregnancy that
Irish national press does not preach sea-.
and that even if it did, the "crime" shonld
Runished like every other crime.s .s.a que

Y that could at all, in the slightest degree,
6rrant any arbitrary and despotic process

reading public, though the Nahon anu

Elfkr Of any paper in Ireland) are; but all
s{rsoaic Irishmen whether they like them or

Iesosd after the manner in vogue in Russia,
baspious that such suppression, if not boldly
IsiGfed, may be extended to more deserving
Gefnals at last, and that thus the liberty OF

(sspondents are often the chief cause of coer-
bfye legislation in Ireland. There are three
Rrotestant conservative, and ultra-loyal Chat

of these journals are the Irish
E0srespondents of these journals; and because

hrything dissdvantageous to the Irish, they

Rotary to ask him to explain the outrageous con
