Lord Mcauley said 10y on admit that you
govern Ireland, not rs you govern Eng
land. nor as you govern Scotland, but as
you govern your new cOnquests in India;
not by means of the respect which the peo-
pie feel for the laws, but by the means OF
bayouets artillery aud entreuched camps"
Now if that were true in l>44 ! am very
sure | do not exaggerate when | say that
the long period Of fOrty-tWO years which
has interviewed have served 10 strengthen
the truth Of Mcauley's words rather than
diminish them.
In looking forstatistics / could get none
later than Isso but l give you the result Of
my examination for that year and for
some years ruat proceeded IL. la the year
1850 Ireland produced I UO00U0 bushels of
wheat-buJ wheat Is not the crop Of
Ireland. She produced S,epD,t0O bushels Of
barley but barley Is not one of the great
crops Of ireland. Now we begin 20 strike
in tie next item something TOR which she Is
especially adapted. She produced 7O.000
000 bushels OF oats. The next item l think
every one will recognize, as il is peculiarly
adapted 10 ireland OF potatoes she pro
duced IlN0la.0lO 81 bushels -(appiause)-

THE kEY TO THE TROUBLE.
do not think Il is difficult to fad the rea-
son Seven hundred and twenty nine men
own oue-half OF the land in ireland, ard
. the other half i oW ned by about three
/ thousaJ more; and of the rural farm land
of Ireland there are but 10 2NS owners in
all. whereas there are 25J.utO adult ma les
in Ireland. Produce that cCsldstlon Of af-
fairs in Maine. in New EsIg tsi,d. TO morrow.
/ and the distress neSe viii he as great IS the
distress has been III Ireland. Now Mr.
Gladstone SAYS that this condition OF things
mus. cease, audby that device the men who
Llil the soil in ireland must be allowed To
purchase and TO hold il.
But / did NOT tell the whole story. Ofthis
land, as the British authority / quote gives
il. 80 mea own over four-fIth>, and they
take from the teuautry that cultivate the
Land sG6O0u,0,O rental per annum. Now.
mark you / am talking Of the little island
NOT 50 large as Maine. A they pay Il rem
tai of sJd, 10000 per annUnl, and then they
pay an imperial tax Of S35, OoH,uO3, and a 10
cal tax of Sl5,UUOUU0 more, there are Sll6,-
$1,000 20 be- wrought out of the bone and
flesh and the spirit oftne Irish peasant, and
no wonder he dies crushed and down truG-
den. l believe the day hath
dawned for his Gelivcrauce. From
the experience Of ireland $
past IL is net wise to be too sGnguiue Of "A
speedy result. /. therefore, for one shall
not be disappointed IL see MIR. Gladstone 5
bile defeated in this Parliament. The Eug-
lish members can do 81, but there is one
thing the English memht rs cannot do, They
cannot defeat the pubic opinion of the
civilized world. And 50 ] say Lord
Harrington made q very remarkable adj
mission y hen, in a complaining tone, he ac-
cusei Gladstone Of having conceded so
much that thg Irish woulC never take less.
Well. you and / do not know tue day,
whether tHls wear or next year, or the ear
after that, the FINAL settlement sha, be
made, bur / have entire and absolute con
iiGeIee th6t IL viii never he made on as
easy terms as SIR. Gladstone now offers il
his bills are defeated.
