. M 5ERS COLLECTION i EGLISII IESU?IP jTIOIV. It has ajsvays been q, matter of asonish? flient to us that England hag, fc,r ages, ,t herr self up as, par excellence, the just, enlighten ed, and humane nation of earth j the vindicator of the rrongcdj the champion of oppressed people, all over the world. It is still more Strange that she has found perhaps the maj ority of mankind, willing to shut their eyes o her record as it realty is, to tote "her Tauntings in place pf the truths of history, and to accord her the very ad van eerl position she claims for herself in the rank of nations. Really, though, we do not know that e ought to be surprised atthis; for where has tJjHre been an iusta"n,ce of an unblushing boaster, however unfounded might be -hi? pretensions, who failed to find dupes and galls, silly enough to believe every thing he chos io assert' - Let us glance at a few episodes in the his tory of England, and see whether she is fairly entitled to the character she assumes: "In the ninth century, Wales was divided into three sovereignhties; North Wales, South Wales, and the intermediate district called I'owis the reigning prince of which were held together by some loose ties of confeder acy. In the year 1)33, the Emjlisfi king, .Athelstane, compelled the "Welsh principali ties to become his tributaries and upon the treaty then concluded with J.hcm, founded on the feudal relation of lord and vassal, the Normans based their claim of lordiship par amount over all Wales. During the eleventh and twelfth centuries, South Wales was the scone of frequent contests between the Weigh and Normans. When Edward J. (an English king) c'nimed feudal homage of Llewelljn, the duty of fealty was" acknow ledged by the latter; but he was unwilling, by going to London, tp place biinself in the jiowe r of a monai-di, who had -recc.iKy (lui fitcd a solemn treaty with him; and hence arose a war which resulted in the death of Llewellyn and thesubjugation of his country." This. was England's protection of Wales. Let us see what she did for Ireland, Wc ?cd not go into the early history of this uont interesting country. In the year (is 4, reianu, ovtr w men nngiaim uau no more right to rule than she has at this moment to i govern France or llup; or Mexico, was first j invaded by a band of English under Egfred, , jtIio seemed to have'gone over for the sake of plunder, and they ruvaged many churches -and monasteries.

' i vjianau aoo los as?oc.i;oes, oat w as e;uieo the legislative u'ion was effected, and the lrisli parliament was no more, i he last ves tige of nationality had .departed. -Jt was About this time that one of the' most gifted of the sons of Krin exclaimed, speaking of Irish liberity: "I sat by its cradle; 1 followed its hearse." In 1803, Robert F.inmet headed an unsuc ccssfullnsurrection, and was executed. In IS2o. Daniel O'Connell commenced agitation on the subject of Catholic emancipation, which measure was finally carried in the liritish parliament. lie then undertook the repeal of tb,e legislative union speaking Tor it in parliament, and holding im mease ' meet ings in fa-vfc" of it. A larger meeting than nny previous cue Was projected for Clontarf, but it was prevented by the government. In 1S44, O'Connell and sonic of his fellow lab orers .suffered a short imprisonment, and the repeal agitation died out. The year 18-18 witnessed the hist ffort on tho part of Irish patriots, yfv.i. Smith OJIricn, who was a member cf the liritish house of commons, Thomas Frances Meagher, Uichard O'Cor nian, ad ethers, again made application to France. T-Leir plans miscarried, and these gentlemen,' together with MeMunus and O'Donoughoe, were transported. Most, or all of them found their way to the United States. Thus has England acted toward Ireland. For centuries Ins she been' engaged iu the task of enslaving a brave, chivalrous, and talentec people; a nation that has produced some of the mofet gifted of the cliildren of genius; a people whose sons have given to (ireat Britain .some of her brightest lumin aries in statesmanship, arms, eloquence and poetry. She has' completely destroyed the nationality of a people over whom she had no more right to exercise control than she has to claim allegjance from Austria, Spain, or any other power on earth. Nor can she claim that all thi is of the past, and that she is no longej guilty t)f the charges we 11ts against her. Until ehe re store to Ireland the nationality and independ ence ofwhich-fhehas robbed that unfortunate country, slie .will s.tahd convicted of" cruoity, rapacity, and injustice. ' T.o this' day, she re tain? the fruits of her long wars against Irish liberty. Tho' ancient kingdom of Ireland Stands as s- dependency upon haughty Eng land. Deprived by fcrce. of her own parli ament, she is allowed a. meagre shadows 'of representation in that which assembles in London. JSyglanu, with a population of six teen millions, has nearly uve hundred ret) resentatiyes in the House of Commons; whfle Ireland, jsrith' a population of gix and a half millions, has only one hundred and five: All English peers are allowed to sit in the House . 1- -r -1 - 1' 1 C 1 1 1 of Lords, and theso number four hundred.' VOL 1. Irish peers are not entitled to seats in parli ament, in their own right, but are allowed to choose a delegation of thirty members. To gum it all up, England has a representation, in parliament, of nine hundred, or one to a little over eighteen thousand inhabitants, while Ireland has one hundred and thirty-five, of one to about forty -thousand. ' ' Tho history of English Jnterocurso with Trejand is, to a great extent, the history of that with Scotland. In this instance, as in the other, she subjugated a brave and gallant people over whom she had no right of control under heaven, and compelled them to do her homage. Against the union of Scotland with England, nothing could be urged, provided it had been on equal terms- for a Scotch king ascended the throne of Great Rritian, and with these who favor monarchies, there cap. be no objection to' being governed by their line of native princes: but let us examine the representation that sure test of freedom'. Scotland sends to the Hritish parliament only lifty-three commoners, and ad her peers are not allowed to sit in parliament, but arc per mitted to elect sixteen froia their number to represent them in the House of Lords. At one time, during the struggle between England and Seotkin!, the government of the j the Scotch national dress, and severe penal ties were annexed to i'n in fri ngxu vn i. V J-v-iaw.

'"In Dr. Guthrie's quaint-styled book, the Old Year's AVarn-ing,"' we find the following laughable description cfa drunken tnoukpy : "Jack as he was called, "seeing his master and some companions drinking, with those imitative powers for which his specie is re inarkable, finding half a grass of whiskey left, took it up and dtank it off.

The Sena'e then went into secret session .on the bill to regulate ioregin confnerce. The- House was in secret session on the arthy bill most of the day It seems to be generally understood that th"e finance measure or tax bill as passed bv i the House, eoutemolated a tax on Confederate notes so heivy as to absorb the bulk of the currency with the vie. v of increasiiig the cur rency value ot notes left m the hands ot hold ers. It- is also understood that tho Senate has rejected this plan ar;d referred the matter to a "Special Committee, who have" it new under consideration. "Absolutism. The following extract is from the columns of the Petersburg Jl.cprt, dan is worthy of perusal : Yt have before us at this moment a Vir ginia journal, the very oldest one in the Sou(h posarnsing a reputation of tho very first order, and a popularity and influence not inferior to anv other published in cur capital, and cu"iat;ng in -cry direction throu-h the h cir mil 'and in its leading editorial, we see with amazement the very case, the supposition oi the f hich, or the Tke .9i it, we held a liitle way back to ,,e irreconcilsable with the spirit and genius of our institutions and the character ot our people, as it is was, say one, two and three j-cars ego." It is therein distinctly r. scrted that "the success of the cause is em-J uarrased bv ine trammels of a Constitution f ,. -, , tks,Sncd an'1 constructed for the develop- ment ot n PcoliC 1,1 timesnl lace, hut which fettersihe present conflict of life and death." . The Constitution, it sppi.ii?, was intended only to dispense irs benefits in tiiyes of )cuc.e! This, to say the .least of it, is a strange idea. There is nothing in the instrument itself that by the remotest arid most arbitrary con struction can be interpreted into such an intention, and certainty there is every tiling in the t-ircumstances under which it was framed and adopted to indicate that it wns. r designed to operate as well in times of war as in times of peace, lor the cdvntry w is on the very brink of war when it' ws framed and accepted, as was weil known.at the time to its framers. "When the Permanent Govern ment was organized, of which the Constitu tion is the JilC ami soul, the country was in the very midst of a waj, which had airead been waged on a mgarrlic scale for more than six months, andyt nothing was then said or thought 'about its being -signcd only for peaceful developments. The truth is, the Constitution and the Government (not the Ad-ministration C) the government) are sy nonymous things if not terms, because the last is organized upon the platform of the first and derives from.it all its vital it'. " There s not a' power that possesses that is not gran'ted by the 1 Constitution. The whole orbit in which it moves and the movements themselves, are ordained and regulated by the Constitution, and the moment this connection between them ceases, the government, such as -it 'now is, dies. liut why, we shoald like to know, cannot the affairs "cf the country be conducted as well under the Constitution -now as in times ofjtcacc? It has given" every power to Con gress and to the. Executive.' npcessary for :i vigorous and successful prosecution of the war. What more could it do, and what more could be desired? What is to hinder Con- gress from enacting suitable laws to carry out the granted powers which that body ..".- . - c . -..- I - - - - possessor, jso iar as raising ami mainiainin armies are "concerned?

VVe do not we cannot think that the peo ple of the Confederate States are prepared as yet to give themselves Up to the embraces of absolutism.
