Let us return to Ireland, and philosophically inquire 

 what amount of the inhabitants did leave their homes, and 

 if that number or more did really emigrate where they 

 are to be found. 



It would be well for poor humanity that there were no 

 classification of the human family, and that we could 

 look upon each other as the children from the loins of one 

 father, and from the womb of one mother, and that we 

 could act so to each other as afiec donate children of our 

 first progenitor. But alas ! Cain slew Abel, and since 

 then, nationally as individually, we are doing little more 

 than slaying each other. But if the poor Irish strive to 

 rise even to the scale of equality, or even ask justice, 

 England strikes them low. And when under the wise and 

 humane Government of this great and glorious Republic 

 Irishmen raise themselves, and act the part of good, honest, 

 and industrious citizens, England endeavors to make it 

 appear that they are Anglo-Saxons. But truth before 

 vanity, facts before prejudice. Let us kindle the fire 

 for the weird beldames national hatred and religious in 

 tolerance let us in all cases have the truth. If the 

 Irish have greater procreative powers than the English, 

 let us know the fact, and ascertain the causes, because 

 two agents tend to the multiplication of the human race
