ON the Irish Question and the
Lsedger's Chicago Cores
pendent.

EDITOR LEDaER:-Your Chicago
correspondent in yesterdays issue en-
deavOrs to compensate for weakness
Of argument by strength Of language,
and unfortunately, he only succeeds in
being frothy. England and everything
English may be, as be says, in a very
bad way, but certainly such farragC
Of senseless and utterly contemplate
phrases as his spirited response
would find place in no respectable
newspaper from John O'Groais t.
Lands End. Ordinary decency il
the matter Of language costs nothing
but, like various other inexpensive
items-the commonest Of sense, FOL
instance-it is conspicuous by its alb
senoe from the wordy effusion Of thil
ireful Hibernian. | have no wist
10 enter into the merits o. THU
question, but only desire as a constant
reader Of the LEDGER to protest
against the publication Of TRADES that
are a disgrace TO the language We
speak, and do nothing but harm to the
cause Of Ireland. Doubtless England
has done wrong and Ireland has been
wronged, but nowhere is there
stronger desire that right should be
done, not only in Ireland, but in India
and other British dependencies, than
in the hearts Of the English people oil
to-day. II individuals and party or
sans sometimes use expressions that
seem to belle this feeling, it is because
the Waywardness Of one Irish party
aud the brutality Of another, beget an
anger at variance with their real desire
for justice. The wrongs Of centuries
cannot be rectified in day, but not
Withstand.Dg the efforts o.
sO-called friends" Of ireland
to stem the tide Of reform, soonei
or later they will be recti6ed. Mean
while "Nsyr," instead Of belchinl
forth such filth as defed your col
umns yesterday, might persuade hi
eOuntrymen to return to Parlismen
intelligent reformers, instead Of thu
shallow sgitators and antiquated to
MES, they send up at present, aud thu
assist the cause he has at heart.
As for the case Of O'DOnuell, to Al
impartial observer, it appears simple
If it is expsdient that in certain case
private individuals be allowed viii
impunity to override the law and ad
minister justice with their own hands
then 0'Donnell ought TO be in thl
enjoyment Of life and liberty to day
II on the other hand. the law is to b
observed by every citizen, no matte
how deeply he may feel its injustice
then is 0'DOnnell's sentence justified
Though he was in sense the instru
ment Of justice, be was the victim o
Just law he oyerstepped, Justice
demanded the death Of Carey; law thai
Of 0'DOnnell. The latter men gel
here; the former, let US hope, they
get hereafter.
