Can be retentive to tue strength OF spirit.
Oh Mr.. Gladstone, you proud man
dressed in a little brief authority" YOU
can shut up Mr.. Parnell. but you cannot
bind his spirit? No; at this moment
ten th ,usand strong, and, through you,
ten times stronger, it walks abroad, an
apostle Of freedom. Great man as you
are, you appear to know absolutely
nothing OF the brave, high spirited, poe
tic race over whom you presume to play
the tyrant. VIII you pass into history
defeated despot, or can you discard
the prejudices which blind you, and
burst the social and political shackies
that bind you and stand before the
world She champion of liberty, and the
deliverer of the oppressed?
AS Mr.. Parnell is evidently designed
to occupy long and stirring chapter IN
the history of England, a short account
Of him may be useful and Interesting.
He is 80 wears of age, unmarried, we'll
shaped tall, and handsome; his features
are regular, and finely cut; his bearing
altogether that OF well bred man; he
is a Protestant, and though born In
Ireland, is of English blood, and
closely connected with Parnell, Lord
Cungleton, of Cheshire. The family
| is of ancient and aristocratic origin, MIR
Parnell being the twentieth in lIneal
| descent from King Edward |. lis
great grandfather,S Sir John Parnell, was
member OF the last Irish Parliament
! and 3poke and voted steadily against
the Union, refusing all temptation
! Sir John harrington, in his Historic
Memoirs of Ireland" gives a list OF
| the Irish members who voted Oh that
| question, and an account Of the brides
given to them by the English govern
nent. Opposite the name of Sir John
| Parnell he writes Chancellor of the Elk
checquer, dismissed by Lord Castle
REACH = Incorluptible." Mr.. Parnel
is Of quiet, reserved manners, and by
no means genial. Like Brutus,
| RI is a great observer, and he looks
Quite through the deeds Of man;
Seldom he smiles: and smiles in such sort
AS if Knocked himself. and scorned his spirit
That could be moved to smile at anything.
Though fair debater, he is a cold hare
speaker, and an orator is surpassed
| by many Of his followers. His poWe
is probably to be attributed to his ex
treme caution, his tenacity and single
ness of purpose, 40 atural sagaeity
! his power Of endurt his tota.i acne
cation of self. his dauntless courage
and his unfaltering fidelity. Som
years ago | asked him why he. did no
get married, and his reply was, i an
