LONDON, Oct. 7.-Prof. Goldwin Smith.
replying to E. T.. Codk q, who had writ. en
| an article in the Spectator crit,cizing Prof
Smiths views of the Irish question
from professedly American point.
OF view, writes that he had advocated
measures o. repression, not beca ase of any
,ostiiity to the 1rish, bat because the Par
elites abu.ed their privileges as mem
I oers of parliament for the purpose of
wrecking parliamentary government in
the interest of disunior. There is no
doubt, says Prof. Smith, that if a party of
southern members Of cong :ess had SINH
larly endeavored to wreck the American
legislature they would have been put down
with as little compunct on as was shown
in the repression of the Irish in the daft
riots in New York. It seems to be for
gotten, he adds, that in an agrarian
reign of terror, the murdered
as we'll as the mt cderers, are Irish, while
the cLie; authors Of the system are New
York Feniars, and Their oigan, the I,:sh
Void, is Ire property of a Jew. Mr..
Godkin himsels, he says, is not native
American but an Irish natjo oal;st.
