[ong-Continued Barbarous and Stupid Policy of England To- wards Ireland, Attempted Exterminations of the Irish Race—Hideous Results of Brit- ish Oppressions. Babbery of the People’s Lands Supplemented by Trohibition of Other Means of Livelihood. And Yet the English Wonder that There Is Now a Land Question in Ireland! Meleolm MacColl in London Contemporary Review. Ttmay be pleaded, and generally is pleaded, on behalf of the British Parliament, that it has ually undone the wrongs of centuries, and hss at last placed the people of Ireland on a footing of perfect equality with the people of England. But the mere undoing of a wrong does not always place the injured person on an equality with those who have not been wronged. (The sovereign’s “pardon” does not necessarily place the innocent convict where he was before. iis health may have been ruined meanwhile, or nis business, or both. In equity, therefore, if not in strict law, he has exceptional claims on the consideration and sympathy of the Government. which did him wrong. - . - The conductof En- gland in the past GOES FAR TO EXPLAIN tho present condition of Ireland. If that con- duct has been exceptional in the highest de- gree, the Irish maybe less unreasonable than is generally supposed in demanding somb ex- ceptional remedies. It is popularly supposed that the special ill- treatment of Ireland by England began at the timo of tho Reformation.j;Undoubtedly the Ref- ormation introduced anew element of discord by adding to the antipathy of race the more po- tent and more bitter antipathy of religion,—the religion of a handful of English officials in Dub- Iin imposed upon the Irish nation by’ the Mussul- man argument of the sword. Before the Reformation the Irish nation was out- lawed for the crime of being Irish. At the Beformation it was outinwed anew for the additional crime of being “Papist.” But to say that the irish were outlawed by England may appear to some an exaggerated statement. It is, however, THE LITERAL FACT. the truth fs, that England found the conquest of Ireland a much more difficult matter than it sd bargained for. If the Irish had been united politically under one head, one of two results must have followed: either the English invad- ers would have been driven out of the country, or the Irish would have submitted after a few decisive defeats. But the ancient Irish were broken up into a number of separate tribes, owing collectively no allegiance to any one sin- gle chicf. This made it impossible, without amilitary gecupation of the whole country, to supdue and rule them in the mass; anda mili- tary occupation of the whole country was impossible. Political organizations’ are fn this respect. like animal organizations. ‘When they are highly developed you can deal with them as individual entities, whose power of resistance is destroyed when you have cut off or overcome the head. In low organizations, on the other hand, to divide is simply to multiply the centres of life and of resistance. Ireland was politically in this undeveloped condition at the time of Strongbow’s invasion. No victory, how- ever decisive on the spot, sufliced tu crush the resistance of the population at large, because the population at large acknowledged no single head. ‘Dispersed at one place, they suddenly at- tacked at another. Harassed and exasperated by this style of warfare, the English seem to have conceived the idea of exterminating the large majority of the native population. The atrocious laws decreed against them hardly ad- mut of any other interpretation. The Irish were, pape. as Irish, plat outside the protection of the law, and WERE TREATED AS" VERMIN. Bapmission to English rule did not bring with it the correlative privileges of an English subject. ‘To kill an Irishman was no maurder._ ‘To break 8 contract with him was no wrong. He could not sue in the English courts. The slaughter of the Irish and the seizure of their property were acts xewarded by the Government.” There was no Yestrainton the grecd and cruelty of the op- pressor, except the fear of retaliation. “A com- mon defense in charges of murder was, that the murdered mav was of ‘the mere Irish.’" To es- cape from this cruel bondage, the Irish repeated- Jy petitioned for admission to the benefits of En- glish law; and werealways refused. Such wasthe condition of the Irish beyond the Pale. Nor was the lot evenof those who lived within itanenvia- dle one. The degree of protection which submis- sion to English rule afforded them may be tested bya statute of 1495, which decreed that “Any per- s0n going to rob or steal, having no faithful man of good name or fame in his company in English apparel,” might be killed by the first man who met him. This placed the life of every Irish man and Irish woman within the Palo AT THE DISPOSAL OF ANY ENGLISHMAN who might feel tempted t8 indulge his passions. But it isright torecord even small mercies, and therefore I hasten to add that the brutality of this law was somewhat mitigated by a subse- quent stutute which directed the Jrish within the Pale to wear English apparel. ‘Such, however, was the fascination of the Irish character, stimulated here and there, per- haps, by sympathy with undeserved wrongs or by love of adventure and a wild life, that En- glishmen were allured across the Pale in consid- ernble numbers. These became proverbially “more Irish than the Irish.” They learned the language, adopted the costume, imbibed the manners, and got infected with the wit of the subject race. if this process of umalgamation had been allowed to go on unchecked, Ircland would probably have bad a different history. But it was arrested inside the Pale by the Refor- Mnation; outside the Pale by the statutes of Kil- kenny. By these statutes an fmupassatle gulf was dug between the two races. ‘No intermarry with the Irish, or indeed to form any sort of con- nection with them, ‘WAS A CAPITAL CRIME. twas also made highly penal to present an Irishman to an ecclesiastical benefice, or to grant the rites of hospitality to an Irish bard or story~ teller. Yet the result of it all was, that, when Henry VII. quarreled with the Pope, and thus added the bitterness of religious persecution to the hatred already engendered by English tyranny, the ara of English rule was contracted ‘within a compass of twenty miles. ‘Till then the extermination of the Irish, though aimed at in various ucts, was never openly rec- ommended by Enclish’ officials. It was left to Protestant zeal to stain the English name with this infamy. The poet Spenser calmly contem- plates the extermination of the Irish asthe surest method of making un “Hibernia Pacata.” After describing in, pathetic terms the desola- tion of Munster by fhe ruthlesssoldiers of Eliza- beth, he observes: “The end will (I assure me) be very short, and much sooner than it can be in so great.a trouble, as it seemeth, hoped for; although there should be none of them fail by the sword nor be slnin by the soldier, yet, thus being kept from manurance and their cattle from running abroad, they would quickly con- sume themselves and dcvour one another.” ‘This horrible anticipation was, IN PACT, LITERALLY FULFILLED, oth in Elizabeth's reign and on several subse- quent occasions. . In the reign of James I., for exumple, Sir Arthur Chichester reported that he had found Ulster “abounding with houses, corn, cattle, and a people who had been bred up in arms” and were highly prosperous. But they’ were Roman Catholics, and must make room for Protestants. Accordingly, this militant propa- gandist left tho country “ desolate and waste, and the people upon it enjoying nothing but 23 fugitives, and what they obtained by stealth.” But the sword and torch were too slow as instru- ments of destruction, or perhaps too expensive. At all events, Chichester agrees with Spenser in putting hjs trust mainly in famine. “ I have often ‘said and written, it is famine that mustconsume the Irish, ns our Swords and other endeavors work not that speedy effect which is expected. Hun- ger would be a better, because a speedier, Weapon to employ xgainst them than the sword.” This burharous policy succeeded too Well. Pestilence and fumine committed fright- havoc among those who had escaped the sword and fire. Starving children were to be Seen feeding in the silent strects on the corpses of their parenta, and even the graves were rifled to appease the pangs of hunger. And these horrors went on, not during one or two years, ‘but at intervals extending over generations. According to Sir William Betty's calculation, NO FEWER THAN 544,000 Sf the native Irish perished, out of a total pop- ‘ulation of 1,468,000 in the eleven years of the war following the rebellion of the Irish in 1641,—a re- bellfon of which Burke says, “No history that I ve ever read furnishes an instance of any that Fis fo Brovoked.”” | “Figures. however,” says ir. McLennan, in his most interesting and in- ctive “Memoir of Thomas Drummoud,” but a oor notion of the which ie. country was re- luced. Famine, as at the end of tho bethan wars, stepped in to complete fhe havoc of the teonk, A plague followed. fiicide ‘became epidemic, 23 the only escape m the intolerable evils of life. Cannibalism Teappeared. According to an eye-witness, whole $ountics were cleared of theirinhabitants. . . Yben survivors were found, they, were either these sat and women, orehildren. ‘Ihave seen miserable creatures,” says Col. Laurence, ‘ plucking stinking carrion out of a ditch, black pad rotten, and been credibly informed that esteies CORPSES OUT OF THE GRAVE TO EAT." these dreadful snfferings soften toward the Irish the hearts of their English oppressors? pa the contrary, says Sir William Petty, writing aa . Borne furious Spirits have wished that rebel again, that they put to the sword.” Baltasar e ‘i Another era of persecution dates from WIll- liam of Orange, and it, was not till the twenty- seventh of the reign of George IL. that the Penal Code reached what Mr. McLannan calls “the fullness of its hideousness,—the repronch of pol- iticians, and disgrace of Protestants and Church- men.” He gives such an admirable compressed spe unery of thae abominable laws, that [think willexcuse my qu he ie inyestenso:. y quoting the passage * The Papist was withdrawn from the charge and cducation of his family. He could caueate his children neither at home nor abroad. He could not be their guardian, nor the guardian of any other person’s children. Popish schools were prohibited, and special disabilities attached vo Papists bred abroad. A premium was set on THE BREACH OF FILIAL DUTY and the family affections. If a son declared himself Protestant, which he might do in boy- hood, a third of his fathor’s fortune was at once applied to his usc; the father's estate was se- cured to him as heir, a life-rent merely being left to the father, A father's settlement to the Rrejudice of the heir-at-law might be instantly lefeated by the heir becoming Protestant. If the heir continued a Papist, the estate gaveled, Went in equal shares to the sons,—a modifica- tion of old [rish law introduced to break up the estates of the Papists, so that none should be on the land above the condition of a beggar. If there were no song, it gaveled on the daughters; if no children, then on the collaterals. Papists who had lost their lands, and had grown rich in commerce, could neither buy land nor lend their money on heritable security. The Pupists could get no hold, direct or indirect, upon the soil. Even a lease to a Papist, to be legal, must have been short. Any Papist ubove 16 yeurs of age might be called on to take the oath of abjura- tion, and, on thrice declining, he suffered a remunire. If he entertained a priest or a ishop, he was fined; for a third offense he for- feited his whole fortune. The exercise of his religion kite, WAS FORBIDDEN; chapels were shut up; its priests banished, and banged if they returned home. . A Papist could not enter the profession of the law. He could not marry a Protestant (the fatal Kil- kenny provision against mixing over again). He could neither vote at Vestries, nor serve on Grand Juries, nor act us aConstable, as 2 Sheriff, or Under-Sheriff, or 2 Magistrate. He could neither vote at elections nor sit in Parliament. Inshort, he was excluded from any office of public trust or emolument. ‘The Catholics,’ says Sir H, Parnell, ‘instead of being tho free subjects of aPrincé from whom they were taught to ex- pect only justice and mercy, were made the slaves of every one, even of the meanestlot their Protestant countrymen.’ Had they become mere slaves, they might have expected some de- gree of humane treatment; but, as the policy which hud made them slaves held them at tho same time as the natural und interested enemies of their masters, they were doomed to expe- rience all the oppression of tyranny, without any of the chances, which other slares enjoy. of the tyrants being merciful, and feeling their tyranny secure.”” In short, the Irish Roman Catholics who sur- vived their persecutions were literally dispos- sessed of their native country. Lord Clare. the Irish Lord Chancellor at_ the time of the Union, made that statement in his place in Parliament. After showing that “THE WHOLE LAND OF IRELAND HAD BEEN CON- FISCATED, with the exception of the estates of five of six families of English blood,” and that “ no Incon- sideradle portion of the island had been contis- cated twice, or perhaps thrice, in the course of a century,” ho goes on to make the following re- markable declaration: “The situation, therefore, of the Irish nation at the Hevolution (of 1688) stands unpuralleled in the history of the inhab- ited world. If the wars of Englund, car- ried on here from-the reign of Eliza- beth, bad been waged aguinst a foreign enemy, the inhabitants would have retained their pos- sessions under the established.Jaw of civilized nations”; but the policy of England was “a declaration of perpetual war ugninst the na- tives of Ireland, and it has rendered her a blank amid the nations of Europe. and retarded ber Progress in the civilized world.” Of tho Irish landlords he says that “Confisca- tion is their common title; and from. th firs first settlement they have been hemmed in by the old inhabitants brooding over their discontent in sullen indignation.” Oneof the great evils of our dealing with ircland is, that we have per- sistedin governing her ACCORDING TO ENGLISH PREJDDICES AND IDEAS. Not thus have we dealt with India, or French Canada, or even the Isle of Mun and the Channel Islands. The land-tenure of Ireland was altogether different from that of . England. The land belonged to the sept. or clan, not to the chief, or to any of his vassals. This was for- gotten or ignored when the lands of chiefs were declared forfeit and granted to English land- lords. The occupiers, on the other hand, re- garded these lands us their own; and this idea, founded originally in fact, has never passed out. of their minds, and it lies at the root of a goud deal of the present land agitation. It was not a mere class which the confiscations disinherited and uprooted from the soil, but the entire race of Irishmen; and these still cherish the tradition that they are the luwful owners of the land. ‘And, as if it were not enough to have divorced a whole nation from the soil which gave it birth, and which of right belonged to it, the ingenuity of English statecraft found other means of COMPLETING THE RUIN OF IRELAND. Till Queen Elizabeth’s reign the Irish had a flourishing trade in supplying England with cattle. This was supposed to de- preciate rents in England, and __ Irish cattle were accordingly declared by act of Par- Jiament “a nuisance,” and their importation was forbidden. Thereupon the Irish killed their cattle at home and sent them to England as salted meat. This provoked another act of Par- liament, forbidding in perpetuity the importa- tion of all cattle from Ireland, “dead or alive, great or small, fat or lean.” Nevertheless, tho Lord-Lieutenant appealed to Ireland on behalf of the sufferers from the great fire of London, The Irish were wretchedly poor, and had no gold orsilver tospare; but they sent a bandsome contribution in cattle. This gift the landed in- terest in England resented in loud and angry tones as “a political contrivance to defeat the probibition of Irish cattle.” Driven to their wits’ ends, the Irish turned the ‘hides of their cattle into leather, which they exported to En- gland. But here too they were BAFFLED BY ENGLISH JEALOUSY. ‘Then they took to sheep-farming and sent ex- cellent wool to England. Again the landed in- terest of England took stlarm, and Lrish wool was declared contraband by act of Parliament in the reign of Charles JI. ‘The Irish then manufact- ‘ured the raw material ut home, and soon drove a thriving trade in woolen stuffs. The manufact- Uurers of Englund thereupon rose up against the iniquity of Irish competition, and the wooten manufactures of Ireland were promptly exclud- ed from the murkets of the Continent. They were, however, so excellent and so cheap that the industry still flourished. But English jeal- ousy never ceased its clamor against it, and in the yenr 1698 both Houses of the English Partia- ment petitioned the King to suppress it, His Majesty replied to the rds that he would ‘take care to do what their Lordships desired.” 'To the Commons he said, “I shull do all that in me lies to discourage the woolen manufactures of Ireland.” DISCOURAGED THEY WERE ACCORDINGLY; and so effectually that, wherens two centuries ago they held their own against England in foreign markets, I find from an official return of 1876 the following significant figures: The valuo of the woolen exports of Great Britain in that year was £271,795,71; that of Ireland, £46. The Woolen industry being’ destroyed, the Irish tried their hand, with marked success, nt the munu- facture of’ silk. From that. ficld also British jealousy drove them in despair. But they are a Ppertinacious race, and do not readily ‘say dic.” So they tried their hands at the smaller indus- tries, since all the larger ones were tabooed them. Availing themselves of Ircland’s facilities for the manufacture of glass, they were sum- murily stopped by a law which prohibited tho exportation of glass from Ireland, and its im- portation into Ireland from any country save England. Cotton, sugar, soap, candle-making, and other manufactures were all tried in turn, AND WITH A LIKE RESULT. ‘To grush her industries beyond all hope of com- petition with English merchants, nll the Med- iterranean ports were closed asainst her, and she was: at length shut out trom commerce with the whole world, Old and New, including even our own colonies. To such a pitch did this cruel policy, and not more cruel than stupid, reach that even the spontaneous produce of the ocean which washed his shores could not be en- joyed by the Irishman without the jealous in- terference of English interests; and the fisher- men of Wnterford and Wexford were thought presumptuous for pursuing their calling along their own coasts, because, forsooth! the fish- murkets of England might thereby be. injured. One solitary industry: remained to Ireland. She was allowed to cultivate the linen trade, though “ British interests” tried to strangle italso; and Manchester, in 1785, sent a petition " Parliament, signed by 117,000 persons, praying ‘or THE PROHIBITION OF IRISH LINENS. The voice of reason and justice for once pre- yniled, and Derry, and Belfast, and Lisburn flourish to prove what the rest of Ireland might now be if the purblind champions of * British interests” had not then, as lately, ignorautly sacrificed, to a purely imaginary danger, the welfare and good-will of an oppressed race. The sins of nations, as of individuals, ure ‘sure to find them out, and we have no just cause of complaint if events should prove that our sins against Ireland are not yet expiated in full. We robbed the Irish of their land, and they betook themselves to other industries for livelihood. Of these we robbed them also, und drove them back upon the land exclusively for their support. Yet we wonder that there is now a land question in Ireland! * ‘Sweet Singers” Eclipsed. London Telegraph.

The brides, knotted ina bow, fall over the back. “Madam,” said a lawyer to his lady client, “in this case I shall charge only a nominal fee.” “ 4 nominal feo!" exclaimed tho lady; “ that’s phe-nominal.” ‘Tho wonder and admiration of all the ladies of Chicago is the exquisit little bonnets of white cashmere shown at Hazedon’s, 42 and 44 Madison street. Their grand spring exhibition of stylish mutinery will commence on Aprill. It will be the finest exhibition of its kind ever seen in Chicago. English women have a genius for finding out odd materials that will do for gowns. The striped stuff of which petticoats are made is thoir 1ast conquest. They mako it into entire suits for tennis, for skaters, and even fashion bonnets of it. We do not remember of our having heard as much talkof a single event asis now going on all over the city about that crockery sale at Sea's, commencing this weck, Tucsday. Mr, Sea is fully determined to mark every article at nprice that will insure the sale of the entire Fullerstock within the week. See advertise- ment on first pages Tue Tripone, Tinies, and Lelegraph. Some people can never be too yr to marry. Ayoung couple commenced to keep house re- cently whose only crockery consisted of an ink- bottle andan imperfect chart af China. Very small. Ladies having experience in traveling, know- ing how impossible it is to purchase a proper poot for walking in foreign countries, order their boots of P. Heller, indies’ bootinaker, un- derthe Palmer House, whose work none can surpass. Slecve-buttons show the odd and quaint de- signs so fashionable in everything ut the present day. The tloral designs in tinted gold daisies and geranium-leaves, with, perhaps, a diamond drop in the centre, a coil of rope with anchor, buttons of hammered gold with diamonds sunk in the.metal, and the old-fashioned link siceve- buttons, which are the newest of all styles. Ladies wishing perfect-fitting garments should have them cut and basted by Taylor's system, and select their designs from the latest French patterns, at Wyant’s, 158 State. As party of gentlemen and Iadics were climbing to the top of a high church-tower one hot day a gentleman remarked, * This is rather aspiral flight of steps.” To which a lady re- joined, “Yes, perspiral,” and she wiped her brow as she spoke. American brocades appear in close designs of Beall blossoms, sprigs, and vines, and the polka, lots. ‘The past week hasbeen prolific in millinery openings, but the public seem unwilling to ac- cept anything us certain in styles until they have attended the formal’ opening at Hewes’ on Wednesday next. The styles will then be settied and the rush in fine is will commence. We have examined the goods, andearnestly udvise every one to do the sume. ‘The Pen and the Man.—‘ It's a good thing to have a bundsome penman for a beau,” said Maury, as she glanced over u billet-doux. “* Yes,’ replied Julia; “if the penman is only handsome, I don’t care how homely the penmanship is.” ‘Thome, 157 State, near Monroe, has received a stock of all shades in hair. English ladies carry thoir manta for domestic decorations sometimes further than their Amer- ican sisters would care to go. Witness the as been visiting friends for the past - transition of a homely three-legged stool into a drawing-room ornament, through the means of a cushion of grcen satin, delicately embroidered jn apple-blossoms, finished by a ilounce of, tho same green, piped with a darker shade. Nothing could more effectually destroy the time-hon- ored association of this homely utensil with the cherry-cheeked Betty, the milkmaid, going forth at dawn of day to brush tho dew from the daisies.

Agents wanted. ‘At a ball lately given by a well-known lady in Paris, several original ideas were developed. A tower quadrille was danced, the ladies com- posing it representing the rose, the violet, the aansy, and other tlowers. The coitfures of other ladies were modeled on certain historical por- traits. Maurie Antoinette, Mary Queen of Scots, and Queen Elizabeth were said to be so slarm- ingly correct that the people turned to the pic! ures in question, fearing to see the frames de- nuded of their cunvas. For dress-reform waists, corsets, and shoulder- braces, go to Brett's, 185 State strect. The Germans, to whom the children of this country owe many of their charming Christmas pastimes and customs, have a pretty manner of placing Easter eggs in the children’s possession. On Euster Eve, while the little ones are steeping, colored eggs and bonboens are pluced in the nests, which are marked with the names cf the young folk. At the peep of day, with shouts of mirth, the children start out on their successful search after pasche eggs. “The eternal fitness of things” {s demonstrat- ed by the numerous patients who visit Dr. Cum- mins, dentist, 70 State.

The weather for the past week has hot been favorable for showing property. Transactions have been mafuly confined to office ‘customers. ‘Tho market, though not active, is firm. Holders are generally willing to wait for a rise, which in the growi#g prosperity of tho country they be- lieve is quite sure to occur. Certainly the city is growing rapidly, and better rents are stimu- lating owners to build, while the advance in the price of labor and materials makes them cau- tous and checks contracts. e We haye direct and positive information that arson, Pirie & Co.do not lease the corner of Ialsted and Madison streets, but that tho stir consequent upon the talk rezarding it has so advanced the rents that the School Bonrd will receive at least $1,000 more than they were first offered, and the amounts they will receive is fully 6 per cent on a full valuation of the property. : Itis reported that another glucose factory is avout to be established If satisfactory arrange- ments can be made for location, water, etc. Certainly the vast umounts of corn that are sold in this city, cheaper than anywhere else except at the cribs of the producers, make Chicago the best place to manufacture all that the markets of this country or of Eurvpe can absorb. Its consumption, both from its excellent nutritive quulities and its cheapness, bids fair tobe practi- cally without limit. ira Brown has sold four lots at Despinines to A. Van Buren for $80), two lots at La Grauge to L, M. Roberts for $200, two lots at Lu Grange to William H. Dilley for $209, five lots ut LaGrange to W. P. Nystrom for $500. J, A. Burhans, 81 Clurk street, as attorney for an Eastern capitalist, closed a sale of 434 ucres lying on the Calumet River, near Hammond Station, for $25,000. This is the tract formerly owned by A. Lancaster, and several years azo was foreclosed for 315,000 loaned him. In 1877 it was offered as low as $10,000, and even last No- vember Mr. Burhans arranged asale for about $16,000, but buyers forfeited contract in default of necessary deposit.

To the Editor of The Chicago Tribune. Hype Park, March 27,—The urgent demand for houses to rent of moderate size and price at Hyde Park, of which there are but few, shows the opportunity given to capitalists for turning their attention to this opening for an invest- ment: before putting money into unimproved aere-tracts or inside improved property.. One hundred houses, ranging in rental from $20 to $35 per month, and containing water, gas, sew- erage, furnace, with brick foundation ana dry cellar, located on independent lots, with thirty tofifty feet of frontage, near one of the depots onthe Ilinois Central’ Railroad, in Hyde Park, could be rented toa good class of tenants the coming season without difficulty. ‘The judicious purchase of land and construc- tion of buildings wouid enable the capitatist to obtain a net Income on his investment of 10 per cent, especially if he bought a large tract of land and built 100 houses of various sizes ut once. No plnee in Cook County, not even in the city itself, could an investment of this kind be made stfer than on the line of the Illinois Central Railroad, south, and near the stations of Ken- wood, Hyde Park, South Park, and Woodlawn. No sch@ne of building dwelling places for fami- Hes, in shape of tlats or blocks in the city, would equal in its benefits to n class of people. of mod- enite means and return surer profits than the plan suggested. It promises heulth, happiness, security, and comfort to the tenants, and fair remuneration to the property-owner. B. A. ULRICH.

To the Editor of The Chicago Tribune. Cs1caGo, March 27.—Would you be kind enough to inform me through the columns of your paper whether Samuel J, Tilden took any active part in the Parnell demonstration in New York City, or whether he contributed anything towards the Irish famine relief fund? Iam anxious to know, from the fact that Lin- tend to write on this subject during the coming campuign, and do all in my power to further the interests of the Republican party. I have no retensions whutever of being an able writer, ut the object of my letter is thus and so. Whut is the reason, or what right have Irish- men to cling so tenaciously to the Democratic party? I for one have renounced forever ull allegiance to Bourbonism, and 1 fully indorse the sentiments of Emery A. Storrs in his address to the Irish-American Republican Club. Task my fellow-countrymen, in the name of common sense and decency, Why are you Demo- erats? Is it because you want tho shackles of siuvery put onthe limbs of the negro that you want torn from your own in your own unfortu- nate country? isit because you want a Rebel war claim levied agninst the people of the Unit- ed States that would prove disastrous to your adopted country? Is it because Gov. Cullom cante to the front at the Parnell meeting like a good Republican, and Tom Hendricks and other Democrats went to the rear? Til tell you in plain words that any Irishman who will vote the Democratic ticket in the com- ing campaign is unworthy thename of American citizen; unworthy of the sympathy of the truce American; and unworthy of respect frum tho respectable people. . ‘In conclusion, let me hope that you will dis- solve partnership with Bourbonism, clasp hands & across the bloody chasm, and come back to be an Irish-American Republican.
