•ENGLAND and IRELAND.
On our first page will be found an in*
teresting extract fiom a letter written to
the editors of the New York Recorder ,
•by their Correspondent in England. We;
ask ounreaders to give -it a-careful perns,
al, and weigh well its contents, then
dorm a cool and dispassionate judgment of*
tight and wrong, truth and exaggeration,
the oppressed and oppressor. ,
The American people have long teen .
in the habit of idolising every refugee
irom a foreign land, who has made f*im.
aelf-conspicuous—conspicuous for what ?
CfTtainly for no good they have ev r done,
hut for causing those they left behind to
suffer ten-fold more oppression thun be
fore-endured, by drawing them into lhei r
wild and precipitate schemes against the
powers that be. They scatce set foot on
the soil of free America before our
Tens laud to the skies and make a hero nfl
every jackanapes who fails to overthrow!
his government, or be considered greeter!
than his monarch.
Monarc hiaj governments have their
eirtueß as well as their vices; we have
nothing to say for them, and just as little
in favor of aspiring demagogues who seek
to make their way to exalted stations by
Vends, mvO Inducing the ignor
Wmt and unwary to infringe the lawsct
peace and order. There can be but little
doubt entertained that three fourths of the
misery and starvation with which Ireland
is cursed, is brought on that Priest-ridden
country by and through the intemperance
and misconduct of the people. Let the
larder be full or empty, the lower classes*
of the Irish will have their whiskey : and
* • *
this insatiate love of the cratur brings ma- i
ny to want for food and raiment. They,
are brought up to it from their infancy,
and can no more think of depriving them
selves of it than the people of this conn*
try can think of denying themselves tea
and coffee. They bring on their own
misery and degradation, and like our
common drunkards run into excesses, and
then seek to screen themselves by imptr'i
ting their conduct to their wife or friends,
when in fact there is not the shadow’ of a
foundation for the accusation.
It is, and always has been acknowledg
ed by those who have sense enough to
appreciate true merit, that the present
Queen, Victoria, is the most philanthrop
ic, humane and virtuous that ever wore
the crown of England; yet they are not
satisfied. And why ? because they are
Priest ridden, and led to believe rani
cally oppressed ; when, at the same time*
-England has almost ruined herself by en
deavoring to ameliorate the condition of
this rebellious child.
We believe, and the fractious charac
ter of the Irish fully prove, that they are
not capable of self-government, nor eve r
will be, bo long as religious Cwids exist in
the country, an£ j made a part of their po
litical creed. The political demagogues
who desire a c\\a n g e Q f government,
could not make it n y better, nor yet
form so good a one as v\**t under which
they now live; to accom|.\\*h this end.
and prove predominant, it requires men
or well established character an&uability
to act as leaders, otherwise all atw m pt s
will prove futile, as heretofore, the
great misfortune of Ireland is, the has
ever been split up in factions, and those i
factions headed by priests or third rate
lawyers, who have no influence out of
the ranks of the ignorant and abandoned.
So long as Priestcraft prevails, so long
wilt’lreland remain as she is; and so
long as American citizens -lionize every
iraitor who puts foot on -our shores, so
long will “there be attempts at rebellion—
whether any just cause exist*or not# ,
Sympalliy is an excellent trait in the
bamanctt&racter, but out people should
not let passion gain the ascendency op
reason, nor yet be so lavish rtf this god
like qualification.as ttfearry it'to extremes
without knowing the true state of affairs. ;
The grandest ami most ■■unprincipled
scoundrels in the world “ make th poor
est faces,’* and are ever striving (o * xcite
commiseration, when, in fact, justice tie.
mands the reverse.
Ireland has an internal enemy which
does, and always will do her more harm
than Qieen Victoria, or ad otberqueen*
that my hereafter occupy the

The Washington Union speaking of
Judge Alfred !vron, our senator elect,
says: Dining the brief season he
spent as the Representative of the
State of Georgia in Congress, he earned
a reputation unsurpassed by none who
pteceeced him in so short a time. While
a member ot Congress it was a matter of
surprise to many friends to Judge Iverson
who knew so well his brilliant powers as
an orator, tha* he never disturbed the pro
ceedings with a speech. But when the
proper time arrived he arose and electri
fied the house with an effect that will
long be remembered and pheiished by the
p.uty who honered him with its guardian
ship. and more immediate friends and
constituents who reposed in his keeping
their most sacred rights. Judge Iverson
is an admirer of the President and firm
supporter of his administration. He will
prove a tower of strength to the adminis
tration in the Senate ; and as far as the
rights ot the State are concerned, when
they are assailed his eloquent voice will
