English atrocities in Ireland, in the minds
of all honorable. liberty loving people, with
out regard to nationality, create unutterable
Ioathing. Such people are forever hurting
maledictions at England, but to anathema-
tie England in the English language is far
better than to utter curses upon her infer
nalIsms in any other language. England is
not satisfied with her rule in Ireland where
she has permanently established famine and
where Jehovah intended plenty should re-
ward toll. She is not satisfied when she has
evicted the poor from their novels and COM
PEELED them to live or die as the elements
might determine. She is not satisfied when
she has exiled millions and filled her Prisons
with thousands. She thirsts for Irish
blood and to satisfy her craving
she has pursued policy in Ireland that has
produced such monsters IS James Carey.
England has been known many, many years
ago, when desiring to convict an Irishman of
treason to hunt through her Prisons for some
wretch condemned to die. and offer him par
don, favor and reward IL he would consent
to damn his soul with perjury and turn in
former. James Carey, similarly situated,
answered the late demand. 1t has been
thought that there is time with men and
Nations when cruelty and oppression be-
come sstiated and fatigued. But England,
in her treatment OF Ireland, is an exception.
Like the beast that symbolizes her DO yer, the
taste of blood calls forth her ferocity. But
we do injustice to the lion by
making it a representative of English
demonism in Ireland. Ireland has had
poets and orators of genius as aspiring, fancy
as vivid and imagination as far reaching as
hes fallen to the lot of any Nation from the
days of Adam to O'Connor, but not one of
them all has ever been able, with all their
wealth OF words, to describe English devil
ishness in their native land The immortal
Curran said on one occasion: 'If, for in,
stance, you wished to convey 20 the mind of
an English matyon the horrors of that dire
full period when, in defiance of the rSm0n-

crombie, our poor people were surrendered
to the lcentious brutality OF the soldiery by
the authority of the State. you would vainly
endeavor TO give her general picture OF lust
and rapine and murder and confagrati ".
Take cottage, place the affrighted
mother of her orphan daughters at the do n,
the Ialeness of death upon her face, and
mne han its agonies in her heart; her sch-
ing heart, her anxious ear, strug cling
through the mist of closing day to catch the
approaches OF desolation and dishonor The
rufian gang arrives, the feast of plumber be-
gins, the cup of madness kindles in its circu-
lation The wandering glances of the rsvisher
become concentrated upon the shrinking and
devoted victim. You need not dilate, you
need rot expatiste. The unpolluted mother
to whom you tell the story of horror beseech-
es you not to proceed; she presses her child
10 her heart; she browns it in her tears her
fancy catches more than an angels tongue
could describe; at a single view she takes in
the whole miserable succession OF force, of
