IRELAND.  "London, 10th May, 1841. " Hereditary bondsmen, know ye not Who would be free, themselves must strike the blow ?' " Agitate, agitate, agitate! Thcfe never was a period at which it was so necessary in Ireland to stir up peaceable agitation—agitation within the limits of the law; but to the extent that law and order permit. There is a crisis at hand ; it is inminent, it is immediate. He who does not p-reeire its instant aoprosch either has no faculties, or is culpably indifferent to the pea^e, the liberty, and the prosperity of his native land " The contest will take place immediately; within so short a space that there is si.areely time to prepare for it; everybody must be up and stirring—that is, everybody who entertains any litive of fatherland--any regard for liberty, or any wish to protect life and property from Orange domination. "As to the Repealeri—my brother Repealers, noble-hearted, high-minded Repealers—who love Ireland above all earthly object and pursuits—l tell them that the approaching crisis should not have for them any terrors. Shall we succeed in the approaching contest ? Why, then, human liberty will have gained-an impulse from popular agitation and a generous movement for all extension of human rights will be cheered and encouraged in its glorious career. " Shall we fail in the approaching contest, and shall Orange Toryism obtain the ascendancy ? Shall we see tie Magisterial Bench polluted at'ain by every angry partisan, and crowded by the multitude of Tory curates and rectors ? Shall we see every office filled, and every official person promoted in proportion to the rancorous zeal wherewith he has hated the religion and the people of Ireland? Shall we once more see the party Sheriff arranging his partisan Jury, not for trial, but for conviction—oh ! not always for conviction, because the Orange plunderer or murderer may occasionally go through the solemn mockery of being arraigned before? Shall the time come when the superior Courts of Justice shall be filled with men whose title to judicial office will be their active participation in the exterminating system of clearing lands by driving the occupants into the arms of famine. disease, and death ? Men who have all their lives proclaimed their hostility to anything even approaching to the semblance of free education for the Catholic children of Ireland !—men who proclaimed their conviction that the Irish Catholics are ”sternatic perjurers, and their religion a noisome idolatry !—men who are the fiery rartisans of those who familiarly call the Catholic clergy of Ireland surpliced ruffians,' and the people of Ireland ' a filthy and felonious rabble !' " Sacred heaven ! what times may be approaching ! The Tory faction in this country boast that they are strong enough to trample on the rights of the people and the prerogatives of the Crown. They boast that they have conquered the Queen. whom, may the great God bless and preserve ! They boast that they have compelled her to yield to their ruthless domination, and to abandon to their sanguinary sway, her faithful, her moral, her brave, her ever generous, and loyal people of Ireland ! Brother Repealers ! all these evils may be at hand ; but should they be realised, then—even then—we will be able to pluck out of these unhallowed circumstances—loathsome and venomous as they may be in themselves—the jewel'
