Irish I.anL.Leaguers' Address.


THE yand-Leaglc issued tonight an address
to TIN, Irish people at home and abroad. The
following are its chirt points:
"Fellow-C Cuuntryncn aud Friends:
"At Il crisis Of tremendous Importance to
our country we confidently address you. The
British Government of Ireland, o!cying the
dtca,ion of a privilcdged order OF rc.soi-,
cruel and selfish class. for centuries past Il
burden and Il curse to our land and peoples,
have east 20 the winds the traditions and p.in-
cii.us o. the liberalism II which they p oftS>
to be devoted. They have set in motion the
legal power of the state to arragu at the Grim
iNal bar the chief man Of the Irish race. and
with him others Of the most distinglii>hc!
lahOrCrs in the cause Of Ireland and
her soca! regeneration. Although our move
mcnt is directed against Il code of laws SO OPP
prc>sve rs to pardiyze the national industry
of Ireland; although We have been as
saiicl with most venOmOus magnity, and
pursued with most INSCRIPTIONS fulsehOods.
yet We can sOlcmnly declare. in the face of the
civilized world. that all our objects are in keep
ing with perfect justice to all men: that all the
means we employ for the attainment Of these
objects are reasonable, pcaccablc and thor
oughly legal. offending in no degree against
the natural right, moral obligation. or intcili-
gent human law
The address then reviews the work already
accomplished by the League and continues:
1--WE never will pause or rest from the labor
We have accepted until public action has
wholly swept away the system Of andlorism
which antagonzcs our people. This great re-
form will be achieved, not by violence,
threats. the breach of any law, or the evasion
of any duty, but by continuing in that course
which We have hitherto pursucd-by teach
ing the people not to become themselves the il-
strumcntS of that despotism under which they
have so long suffered, and by directing pub
lie opinion against the acts of any person who
willfully damages the interests OF the people.
We therefore appeal to you, icow-couhtry'
men, friends of public freedom, to create {"
national fund, the primary object OF which
will b. to provide such defense as legal skill
can afford to men who have stood in the van
guard Of this movement. All that money can
do will b. done t. gain Il victory over the lead
crs Of the Irish people"

The Scott Regulators.

30 far as we can tell the supplements
ry account recently published by us, of
the Hunters Valley affairs, seems to
have been without material foundation.
The information was obtained by us
from she Lee SENTINEL. There is no
knowledge that Pinkney Carter was shot
nnr. has any demonstration been made
by the Regulators against Elijah Corder
for killing Baker. 1t is true there was
found on the floor with Baker false
face that wac punctured by shot, and 1t
ia said not to have been worn by Baker.
This doubtless gave rise to the report
that Carter was wounded. 1t is also
true that Corder thought 1t prudent to
withdraw from the neighborhood for
awhile, but he does not mean to remain
AWAY. These Regulators have not yet
aimed to redress any grievance but such
as the law ought to redress. They seem
10 have aimed 10 enforce their own idea
Of social virtue and private morals, but
of course all such extra judicial action la
unlawful. For the present none Of them
hive been indicted or identified and all
Is very quiet in the vicinity Of their re-
cent operations.

the facts as himself. He desired, too,
TO be free to act as he had the eventual,
greater responsibility, and so the matter
was governed as between him and my
self. As / have been writing thus free
ly to you, may still further unbosom
myself by stating that have not thought
it lawful or wise to use Federal troops in
such matters.as have trmspired within
the last few months, save SO far as they
may be brought into action under the
article of the Constitution which con-
templates the meeting of armed resist
ance or an invasion Of State more pow
erful than the State authorities can
subdue by the ordinary processes, and
then only when requested by the Lcgls-
lature or, if it could hot be convened in
session, by the Governor, and when the
President Of the United States inter-
venes in that manner it is . state Of war,
not peace. The army is laboring under
disadvantages and has been used unlaw-
fully at times, in the Judgment Of the
people and in mine certainly, and we
have lost great deal of the kindly feel
ing which the community 1t large once
felt for us. 1t Is time to stop and un-
load. The officers in command of the
troops, often finding it difficult TO act
wisely and safely when their superiors
in authority have different views Of the
law from theirs and when legislation
has sanctioned actions seemingly in con-
flict with the fundamental law, general
ly defer to tho known judgment of their
superiors. Yet the superior officers of
the army. are so regarded in such
great crises and are held to such re-
sponsiblity, especially those ut or near
the head of It, that it's necessary on
such moment0us occasions to dare to de-
termine for themselves what is lawful
and what Is not lawful under our system.
If the military authorities should be in
yolyed, as might possibly be the case in
such exceptional times, when there ex-
listed such divergent views as TO the cor
rect result, the armyswill suffer from its
past action If it has acted wrongfully.-
Our regular army has little hold upon
the affections Of the people Of to-day,
and its superior officers should certainly,
as far as lies In their power, legally and
with righteous intent aim TO defend the
right, which to us Is the law, and the
institutions which they represent. 1t Is
n well-meaning institution and Il would
be well If it should have an opportunity
to be recognized as bulwark in support
of the rights of the people and Of the
law. / am truly yours,
