IRELAND AND ENGLAND.

The cause of Ireland is the cause of hu-
manIty. To sympathize with Ireland, to
assist Ireland, and to pray for Ireland are
duties as sacred as to visit the sick, to succor
the widow and orphan, or to give food and
drink to the destitute. 1t matters little
what England may demand under laws
which are the outgrowth of her internal
tyranny, and the foundation of a system of
cruelty that makes the bounteous benefi-
cence of Jehovah unavailing; that abrogates
the edicts of the Gospel; that makes religion
a by-word of scorn and reproach, and weighs
down humanity to depth of want and deg
radiation, calling with united voice for
the execration of all men. Above En-
glands proclamations, the rattle of her
musketry. the roar of her cannon and the
DEGREES of her Courts is heard the cry for
bread-the announcement that Ireland is
starving. The world isinvited to look on, while
the panorama of Ireland's woes is unrolled:
England robbing. Ireland starving, and her
people subjected to imprisonment, trans
portation and murder. if they dare to eat of
the fruits of their felds-the product Of
their own toll Ireland. IL left to herself,
would soon change this aspect Of affairs.
The wilderness and the desert places would
soon become fruitful and supply food in
abundance. Under English rule and En-
glish law--twin curses-there is no hope of

putridity. Hehad no right to play scavang. az
at the English Opera House and dup the
contents OF his partisan garbage ARTS under
the noses of those who hal come to honor
him as the Chief Executive of a great Com
monwealth. The Sup<ene Court Of Indiana
is coordinate branch OF the state govern
ment, clothed with certain high preroga-
tives which Governor Porter should respect,
and in speaking of which he should guard
well his utterances, and any departure from
such course only strengthens the convic-
tons of all honorable men, that he has
mapped out for himself policy which the
more it is developed the more defective il
will appear. The attack which Governor
Porter makes upon the cornerstone" of
the State House has no higher significance
than partisan clap-trap. 1t is throughout
partisan fiapdoodle. 1t proposes to be a
uisute of love and respect to Indiana sol
diers in the late war, as if the names of the
soldiers and the fame of their achievements
would be lost if not buried in the Corner
stone of the State House Governor
Porter, one would suppose from the
style of his remarks, was himself soldier,
but we are not informed that he drew a
sword or shouldered musket in defense of
his country. We are not advised that bugle
or drum ever disturbed his sleeping or wax
ing hours, and il therefore seems that his
overwhelming devotion to the soldiers
cause was born after the battles had all been
fought To intimate that there was any
purpose on the part of those who had charge
of the cornerstone to exclude any docu-
ments relating to the record of Indiana SOL
diers is gratuitous insult, which dishonoTs
and degrades its author. Governor Porter
admits that the fame of the soldier is secure
What more is wanted? The soldier asks no
more. Indeed, the whole business of hew-
ing out holes in corner stones as receptacles
OF valuable records in this age of books has
no real value. We had hoped that
Governor Porter, in his inaugural
address, would have been equal to the
occasion. There was no necessity for the
great display at the Opera House. as Gov
ernor Porter could have gone before Justice
of the Peace and been sworn into office But
since men of all parties were willing to
show high respect for the Office which Gov
ernor Porter holds, he should have made
his address rich with words OF friendship
rather than partisan waspishneSs
