When ho went over to Ircland, he publicly declared that Lo would make no speeches, and for somo time ha earricd-ont his resolution. The people pressed him for a Bpecch, but ho dectined. They banqueted Lim, hoping to get him in his cups and open his lips, but they failed, "Tho students of the University of Dublin tried overy per- sunsion, when they welcomed him into their ancient halls, and gave him an ovation of cnthusiasm, but all in vain, Tho English peess and politicians, who feared tho effoct n speech from him might have npon Irish nffairs, praised his roticonco and mado no secrot of thoir delight at his refusals to talk, The Irlsh, on tho othor hand, mado no secret ot thoir disappointmont, and looked upon it ng gomowhnat churlish that a groat statesman “and talker should visit their laud and refuse to boaocial evon in their nnciont seat of learning, During his trovels, howover, ho must hnve been inveigled into visiting tho Blarnaey Stone, for he has opened his mouth atlast, Onthe 7th inst. hb wns presented with the froedom of Dublin, and this jn turn scems to have givon him his sudden freedom lof rpoceh, Io mado a long and powerful didress, which wns Iargely dovoted to n oviow of his own work in the post, and horeforo apologotic in part.

The dispasition of Eastern politicians and ‘brokers to make the remonetization of silver an issue botween different aeotions of the country is deplornble, Patriotism demands thiat thoro shall be no division on sectional inos whon great questions of pnblic policy aro bronglit under discussion. Persons who stir up strife nnder such circumstances and soek to array ono part of the country ngainst another aro trifling with the destinics of the nation, nod are in noed of ealm refloction and dignified roproof. Wo hopo the Enstern Shylocks will pause in their mad caroer, ond listen to the words of soberness and truth that are appropriate for thom to hear.

Thanks to tho influcnce of the nowspapers in that rection, which nro controlled nimost withont éxcoption by the moncy-power, the peoplo thero are acemingly opposed to the romonctization of silver, They have beon taught, by thelr nowspnpers and money-lend- ors to believo that all the patriotism, all the wisdom, nll the good breeding, and nearly all tho money of tho country aro to bo found within their borders.

That Mr, Ewixo is an eloquent and » forcible apenker cannot be questioned, but that M¥ Ewixo's advoeacy of any mensure of finauce is ofton calenlated to be injurious to that measure is also truo. This is due to the fact that Mr. Ewixa is an arrant domagogue, and that in Lis nrguments he lias o total disregard of facts and figures, and his stotements are so wild and extravagnnt that thoy throw discredit npon all he lhas to sy Mr. Ewivo dsone of tho original invontors nud pntentoes of the policy of an unlimited issue of greenbacks, the paymontof the pub- lio debt in that currency, and the eventual repudistion of the curroncy itself. That policy, so far as the payment of the debt in eurrency, liny been necessarily abandoned since the refunding of the debt, but the un. fimited 1ssne of greenbacks with n view to cheapening them is still n monsure to which he clings desperately. His ndvocacy of the re- penl of the Resumption law, in order that thal further issuo of greenbacks may be pressed, is of course vbjectionablo to multitudeswho fa- vorthorepeal of thetime fixed for resumption, Hia attempt to couple tho groenback-watoring schemo witha postponemont of resumption is consistent with his guencral fdeas of states- manship ; it is impossible for him to coase to Lo s demagogua.
