caulay can require to be told how the
"Englishry'' and the 'Irishry'' were di-
vlded into the opposit camps. "Com-
promise had become impossible. The
two lnturlated casts were alike conviced
that it was necessary to Cypress or to be
oppressed that there could be no safety
but in victory, vengeance, and dominion"
The Englishry, when the contest COM

Leake in the Dartmouth, a frigate of
thlrty-six guns, which ran the gauntlet
of the batteries and broke the boom. The
tide then began to turn. The Enniskil-

two English officers, Col Wolseley and
Col. Berry, won the battle or skirmish or

equality was restored by the arrival Ct
Schomberg with an English army of
10000 men, with which, however, even
when joined by the settlers, he refused to
risk a battle, and the Irishry were still
Ii the ascendant when they fought the
battle of the Boyne
The army by which this battle was won
consisted of about $4,000 men. Accord

Guiding the Life Guards and the Blues,
and Il large proportion of the remainder
Scotch, Dutch, Danes and Huguenots.

During the next hundred years the

Moral: Let BECOMES be BECOMES. The
relative strength and position of the par
ties have undergone material changes
within the last half century. Equal leg
islation and tolerant government have
elevated the one without depressing the
other. Respect for law, order, and pro-
perty is no longer peculiar to a religion
or a race. "When bad men conspire,
good men should cooperate; and the
