I population. IN few words, Mr.. Bradlaugt
wishes to assimiiats. the government and
I social institutions of England TO those Of
the United States.-He needs Ireland to
help him secure her liberties and his own.
| In this view he thus vindicates Ireland:
There are some who say tina. freshmen
always viii be dissatisfied; that whatever
we may do tor them We can not satisfy them
! And says elsewhere:
We hold ireland not in any sort or fashion
at the present moment by our love or by
our affection. We hold her % garyiso ned
country.
At this point We can furnish Mr.. Brad
laugh an argument perfectly conclusive.
England has driven some Of the best men
o. ireland to America for the crime Of
resisting an oppressive government never
! adopted by the consent Of the governed. "
| Under this the Emmets. and thousands
With item, came 70 America. England

by way 0: Australia and other penal set.
tlenentA OF this two hundred and fifty
thousand erictions of wyetched tenants and
Its multiplied miseries. millions of Gonest
unforsunates have found an asylum here.
From the first Irish immigration Of l19S
to the last evicted orphan, those people
have neve. been turbulent. never disor.
derry. never dishonest. They have
entered the professions and the
trades. They have soiled in the
roads. dug the canals, and done
much Of the domestic dsudgery of the
Union. Their children have grown up
and in.ermarried with our own, and there
il no part Of the American people who
have contributed more 20 her glory and
her wealth than the Irish and the descend
ants OF Irish among US. That the cruelty
of England has stung and stained into
their memories till they loathe the name
of an Englishman is true. These people
have remembered their relations in Ire.
land as few other immigrants have done,
or, indeed, had occasion to do. Millions
OF dollars have been devoted from the !
first tolls Of the exile TO bring all that
were dear to Linn from that land of misery |
England has to thank her own policy for

that would spare no opportunity to defeat

. There are lovers Of monarchy among
us-some constantly contrasting the dis
honesty and oppression of republican
government with the admirable system
which prevails under monarchy, aris-
'ocracy and established priesthood, and
drawing the most disparaging conclusions
against this republic. 1t would be well
ors :: to read the disclosures Of Mr..
3radll .gh. The simple fact that millions
migrate from England to the United !
states should satisfy GU. :nonarchicai
na!contents that the opinion Of the world

If Nj. Bradlaush can institute any ar.

lote greatly his plan to overthrow tie
utocracy and aristocracy. and promote
the peace Of our own country.
We confess pride in seeing the wise men !.
ONE from tie old Eas: to watch the c:a-
lie Q. y risen freedom. We like to see
lis infant republic teaching in tie Tenn :
lie. while the gabbis and priests Of a
.oody and inezorable code listen with
nazement to the ,nercifu! dispe.satioas
republican a:onement.
It is to DE hoped the candid counseis
Mr.. Bradiaugh may be reflected back i,
to the hearts OF her majesty and Of her d
aiesty's ministers. that they may be re. !.
srberated from the sound-boards of the 5,
Church. and may resound Ct
rough tie halls of popular and auto. .
attic legislation. Justice and mercy are b
ronger than the bayonet aud knout, and al
atoms dread the force of popular opin- nj
