During nenrly her whole career sho bad been tho subject of ngltation, visitation, coniiscation, devastation, and about every other ngonoy by which the peaco and prosperity of n peoplo ara disturbed. It would be dificult to namo any con- adorable period of Irish history when something was not disturbing her ponce. What was tho csuso of nil this oxoltement, trouble, and con- tention? It was not her location, for that was exceodinutly fauyorablo to prosperity. Jrolind was especially: Leal pak ‘or tho advan tagcous opportunity sho offered to commerce, There werg ninety good harbors on her const, fourteen of which contained sulficient depth of water to nccuminodate tho Inrgest ships of war, and thirty-seven of which wero ultogethor sult- ablo for the ordinary purposes of commerce, It would bo diMoult to name another piece of ter- ritory offering tho same advantages for com- mercial prospority. And yet Ireland had nono of it, To-day sho was simply o statlon-house, ora depot, for commerce to Amorica, to Ene gisnd, to Scotland, and elsewhere, ‘The dificulty, seoandlys was notin the soil, for ¢hat wos good, All kinds of grain were reudily produced there.

This jad Leon true of her almost from the beginuln, of her history until now,—she had been divides within herself, a house substanttally’ always tna controversy. Bome of theay fetids were old, fome new,—but chietly old,—aud they rested in old wars, upon loci prejudices, and upon diferences in religious beliefs. Thore were two elasses—not to say more—in Ireland by which fho peoplo wero radically distinguished from eachother.
