and fm bis lecture last night he quoted English Protestant historians to prove English and Scotch began the slaugh- what we do not want. If Killed their Protestant neigh- duttle-doabt that a massacre did take place in 1641, and it is very probable that those who ‘were killed were Protestants ; but we have a right to believe that their religion had mothing to do with their killing. A few years before these Scotch and English ailventurers had invaded Ulster, plundering and oppressing the native Irish, and when the hour for vengeance came the Irish killed them, not because they were Protestants, but because they wore robbers and invaders. It was wholly & political question, with which religion had little to do, for the same thing had happened more than once, though not on such an ex- tensive acale, while both sides were Catholics. It is upon this ground that the question ought to beplaced, and if Father Burke thinks it neceseory for the Irish to apologize for killing those who robbed and killed them without muoh coremony we shall be glad to hear what hho has to say. But we urge the necessity of dealing with the historical question, not from sectarian or partisan points of view, but on the broad grounds of morality and principle. We do not want to see a bad cause on either side bolstered up by specious pleading. Our interest in the present controversy is in the fature, and we want the events of the past reviewed in a spirit of unflinching justice. So far the defence of Ireland has not only been able, but it has been free from the one-sided views of history and dogmatism which are markod characteristics of the English histo- rian’s style; but it has exhibited a want of thoroughness on delicate points which takes feom its value as a historical vindication of the Trish cause. Am Angry Canadian on the Fature of Canada and the United States. ‘We published a few days ago some reflec- tions on ‘the absorption of Canada into the Union,’’ in which we set forth in good faith, and, as we believe, in courteous language, the identity of interests between Canada and the United States, and the advantages which our colonial neighbors would derive from a closer connection than they now enjoy with the Great Republic. The Toronto Leader has taken umbrage at our remarks, and in an article which we reproduce in another column has set forth itd opinions on the ‘character and influ- ence of the Henarp and the future destiny of the American Republic, The criticisms of our colonial contemporary upon this journal may well be viewed with equanimity. When it is confessed that the Henatp has raised itself “from a cellar’ to a marked ‘degree of emi- nonce ;"’ that it sustains its reputation by a “judicious enterprise in news;’’ that as a “marvel of journalism” it “runs its course and builds up a gigantic circulation,” we can well afford to be told that we accomplish all this by ‘pandering to the basest instincts of mankind,’ by a ‘constant vulgar sensationalism’ in our “official columns’’— whatever they may be—and by such “nine days’ wonders’’ as the “apocryphal Stanley expedition.” All we can say in return is that neither the Toronto Leade nor any other Canadian journal can be accused of having achieved a similar success by these or any other means, But when we learn the opinion of the Canadian journal on the present con- dition and fature prospects of the Republic we must confess to an uncomfortable feeling of apprehension, in which we fear our readers will share, According to the Toronto Leadcr the Union is aot now in any condition to attract new friends. The ‘‘rottenness of republican sys- tems’’ has been demonstrated by our ‘terrific civil war,’’ in which the government triumphed over rebellion despite the British aid for which England has just been mulcted in damages, and despite the Canadian sympathy with poisoners and incendiaries, which has not yet been atoned for. The ‘interests of the West’’ are ‘‘gathering into a hostile cloud ;'’ the Southern States are “‘in a quasi eondition of brigandage ;'' the population of the Eastern States is ‘dying out’’ through im- moral practices and is ‘“‘only sustained by immigration. In fact, so rapid is our retrogression, that the absorption of the United States into Canada in a few years is a ‘“catas- trophe’ to be anticipated, although it is ‘devoutly wished” that it may be “long averted.” As a consequence of this unhappy condition of affairs many an artisan who has been enticed to the States by ‘such nonsense’ as the Henaxn utters ‘has begged money from his former employer to bring him back to Canada again,” and it is very evident to our that the end of our government is at hand, and will arrive even ‘‘before the century usually allotted for the duration of a republic hos expired.’’ According to this calculation we may make up our minds to balance our books and close our accounts before tho next Presidential election comes found—a fact which will effectually dispose of the terrors of those liberals who dread the reelection of General Grant for a “third term,’’ and the auxiety of those republicans who aro already making up their pools for the snocession. In the meantime, we are assured by the Leader that we shall receive no sympathy in our last hours from any Canadians, unless it may be from a few miserable traitors of the “extreme grit faction,"’ and that our polite {nvitation to our colonial neighbors to join our republican circle will be repudiated by every British patriot ‘with o soul above an American greenback.’’ We are sorry for our neighbor across the order. We regret that he should have so poor an opinion of ourselves and so littlo faith in the future of republican institutions. His wrath is the more to be deplored since the British nation itself evidently appreciates the power of the United States and is anxious to remain at peace with the Republic. In- deod, its anxiety in this direction is evidenced in the somi-official advice given by the Lon- Gon Times to the Canadians, to go about their business, attend to their own affairs and take care of themselves. While the parents are in neighborhood it is deplorable to seo their children evincing quarrelsome disposi- tions, So far as England is concerned, our diffoullics with her are at an end, The Tronty of Washington aq settled all qutstaud: NEW: YORK HERALD, WEDNESDAY, NOVEMbs<_20, 1872—TRIPLE | ing disputes, and if wo have any contest now with the mother country it is one of business only, and will be settled by enterprise and not by arms, We have mo quarrel with Canada, and desire to have none. Our wish is to see the neighboring coun- tries republican in their institutions, because we feel that monarchy is a relic of barbarism, and that a people can be more happy and prosperous under a system of self- government than under any other rule, how- ever seemjngly liberal and constitutional. Canada would be better off to-day ng an inde- pendent Republie in friendly alliance with the United States than she can ever be asa de- pendency of Great Britain, The Toronto Leader, which assumes to be supremely British in its sentiments, and which lays claim to a superserviceable loyalty, may not recognize this fact, but it is known to every intelligent citizen of the Dominion, and is the feeling of the majority of the people of Canada to-day. It is a feeling, too, which is shared in by the British government and by Englishmen generally, and the independence of the province would be hailed in England as a public blessing should it be announced to- morrow. The United States does not seek the annexation of Canada until the Canadians are themselves prepared to plead for the alli- ance. But that the time will come when the waters of the St. Lawrence will not divide the American Continent into two nations we are well assured, and all the eloquent wrath of the Toronto Leader cannot long postpone the hour of union, Startling Confessions. Now that truth is no longer dangerous to party success, it is positively refreshing to note the amount of it being told by administration organs and politicians. The leading republican organ of this city disturbs the equilibrium of its republican readers by declaring that ‘we have asa party yet to prove that we de- serve to retain the control of public affairs.’’ Mr. Squeers would pronounce this “richness,” We, not hopeless of eleventh-hour converts, regard such frank confession’ as good for the soul of our body politic. ‘It remains to be seen,” continues the latter-day penitent, “whether the party can retain that popular confidence which the elections show so un- mistakably that it now possesses.”’ ‘Ici l'on parle Francais’’ is the sign of Parisian shops into which the Anglo-Saxon is beguiled by the hope of being cheated in his native tongue. “Truth spoken hera’’ should henceforth head the bulletin of our frank contemporary. Not to be left lagging in the-rear of the national confessional, a prominent administration weekly asserts that there isa very positive public sentiment in favor of civil service re- form. But ‘it certainly is not entertained by the working politicians, who are the last per- sons to be affected by the considerations which commend the reform to independent citizens.” Can we believe our eyes? Did that civil service plank in the republican plat- form mean nothing? Was it merely laid down for these ‘working politicians’ to stand upon during the Presidential canvass, and now is it to be cut up into Congressional toothpicks? Our honest weekly actually has misgivings about the legislators it has sent to Washington—pledged to institute this neces- sary reform. ‘Congress will move when it must, not before, It will move when the country demands, and not before."’ And so we are not to have peace after all? The coun- try cannot trust its representatives, and people and press are to pass the next four years in bullying Congress into keeping a solemn oath! Really this is ‘most tolerable and not to be endured.” If even a worm will turn, why may not press and people? General Hawley, a leading administrationist, declares it “is easy to break the republican party into warring fregments within six months.’’ Verily, | now that the republicans have taken up their residence in the Palace of Truth, a confiding country has reason to tremble for the future, Immorality’s Defence. When the two women now lying in Ludlow Street Jail, charged with sending obscene publications through the mails, were first ar- rested we commented with becoming severity, not only on the crime for which they are in- dicted, but on certain other immoral bearings of their course, altogether outside of the charge as technically made, The success or failure of the prosecution on this matter is something fully in the hands of the law, and there we are content to leave it. Mrs. Wood- hull, however, from her prison, writes to the Heratp in defence of her acts and her theories, and once more puts the question of ‘free love’’ before us, but in precisely the light in- which she and certain male satyrs have been stating it for years past, She and her con- geners need be under no mistake regarding the public’s understanding of their position. It is not surprising that ‘the bold and un- abashed front” which she bears should carry her into a defiance and a scream of prophecy as to the future of the champions of this ‘‘free love’’ business. It will be noted that the venal, the indecent and the blackmailing ways, which are freely alleged against them in other quarters, should be left without reference, and that the ques- tion is begged, whether for the express sake of proving the loose practices of these people to be the practices of some others, that revolting stories should be persistently published to carry demoralization further. If society places its foot upon the neck of this hydra, and figuratively stamps the power for harm out of every one of its hundred heads, it will be doing right. We have no fear that the great social institutions are in danger from the theories of sensualists or the acts of any of them; yet when they overstep the limit of the law they should be punished accordingly. It is a matter fora jury now whether the in- dicted ones have taken this step, and, without wishing to prejudice the case at all, we think that Mrs. Woodhull might let writing mate- tials alone when she can make no better use of them than will be seen on perusing her communication in another column of the Herarp.

Tho Deputies of the Left held a meeting to-day and voted to send a delegation to the President to dissuade him from his purpose. The deputation waited on the President this afternoon, M. Thiers told them he was still inclined to tender his resignation. His health had beem affected. The course of the Right ren- dered it impossible for him to conduct the government, THE ARMY, M.

To such heads of families a3 were employed in the district, and who'resided elsewhere, grocerics and fuel have been given and in some cases money to pay rent, There are many applications from unmarried mon and = =women who lost their —_ emrploy- ment, as well as their tools, by the fire, and were left without any means of support. The commit- tee have referred all such for employment to the committee appointed for this purpose, and in some cases, where the necessily appeara to be urgent, have given money sutticient to pay & week’s board and have given orders for tools. The committee find the number of mechanics and of the laboring classes who suffered by the late fire to be much larger than they expected, aud at present there is an increase, rather than any falling off, in the number ot applications, We es- timate when the cases already in hand shall have been investigated and passed upon the sum of $30,000 will have been expended. How much longer these applications will continue remains to be seen; but it is evident the losses haye been much under-estimated in the department of labor, and it seems certain that very large calls will con- tinue to be made for assistance, and means, larger than now appear available, will be required to cna- ble the committee to continue the work as itis now being done.” Kidder, Peabody & Co, have given $1,200 to the Police fund for the benefit of invalided officers and the families of those deceased who are in necd, William Gray and other prominent citizens re- commend Otis Norcross for Mayor of Boston as the best man to meet the requirements of the city at this time.
