CBOM WELL'S CONQUEST.
In lo50 Ireland was overrun and con
quered by Cromwell, after a fierce atrug
P;ie ana terriDie Diooosueu. icepopu
ation waa treated with the utmost rig
our. No term were kept with the
vanquished. Ever since that period
aod Eoglish garrison sufficiently strong
to crush cut all resistance occupies
every atronirlnld.
Aliens fill almct Tcjy oflicr, civil or
military. The natives ot the. country
have no fcal in the Cabinet, uo
voice in the administration of jus
tice, no ollice in the ditributiou of the
mails, the collection of the revenue, no
command in the army uoue ia th na
vy. Ireland was, until latejy, governed
pretty much aa a subjugated province,
lnfeetcd with an insurgent population
which it waa necessary ut degrade by
ridicule or overawe bv direol force, a
population ii nii untui iu i....r-ii
by bribery or drive in o exile. The pro
prietor of the soil reside chiefly at
Loudon and in England, near the re
sorts of the fashionable and the aristo
cratic nobility. They spend the riches
and tbe produce of Ireland in foreign
laid". To he an Irishman in Jreland
i to Invite petty persecutions and re
proach. To bo an enemy of one native
land, having the talents which render
nuch tream useful to a tyrant is to
secure patronage and official recogni
tion. '1 he history of tbo world, except
in these southern States do- not pre-
1 srnt a more cruel absorption of the
I whole resources and revenue of acouu
' try, nd their appropriation to the le-
gradation of the local popalation, the
liamilialion of im pride, the debasement
f its rentus and smbitioa, and the
lavish generosity of its government to
persons whose claim to notice consist
in the aid they give or gave to the an
nihilation of its rmierwwdence.
Previous to !., even trader the j
bl.HMiv rule of Crostiwell aad hi Piwi-
la a and Kouud head, between whom I
aud tbe Irish Catholic and Cavaliers
there seem a mutual and uncrxpuera
ble aversion, Ireland was atwas permit
ted to enjoy a local pariiaue or legis
lature, having the same relation to the
Imperial Parliament that our (ieneial
Assembly bears to Congress. In IT!
the sbsmeful corruptioua of this body,
the inequalities of it t-i of represen
tation aod it grass aubeervieocy to the
Imperial I lover o mem, cauvnl the form
ation of several political sucietiea,
whose object was to procure re form in
these particular. Among these the
society called the "t'nited Irishmen,"
was the most conspicuous, Thi was
composed of i"riaot a well as
Catholic. I tmd it included srvery
man in theconatrrof any resrtahlllry
or ioflueace, not in the pay of the

preaslon and to further the designs of
cOTrwmonf if wan Hrf armined to nre-
gerntfriiment, it was determined to pre
ctpltatavan armed insurrection. Ac
oorsliagb toartial law was proclaimed,
5nd the Orange leagues and lodge tin
jer' the name of yeomen and militia
regiments wre enrolled, armed and
otaced uader tho pay of the government,
lVoieiUaeU only were enrolled iu theae
organizations, and sectional antipithie
were sedulously cultivated. The .Sher
iffs, llagwtrates, Mayors of cities. Con
stables: aad Police were required to be
Orangemen. The people were goaded
bj every conceivable instrumentality to
resistance. Justice fled the lacd. Cor
ruption aod mal-nd ministration were
encouraged and rewarded. There
no 'Jaw except for Orangemen. They
maltreated and shot the defeucelc.-
people'at every fair aud market, ure of
l Hrm a nit y from punishment, except
sack as individual superiority and the
rhUklti could iutlict. When brought to
trial they were acquitted by partizan
juries, packed by partir..in sherilM.
Tbe slightest offenses on the part of the
people were punished with w hippings,
imprisonment, transportation and death.
A,t last the United Jrishnaeu, now com
posed of the bulk of the Irish popula
tion, determined on insurrection. .Com
pelled to choose between death on tbe
scaffold and banishment, or death on
the field, they preferred the latter al
ternative. A half million ji" meu,
Catholics, Protestants, and Presbyteri
ans orgauized themselves into compa
nies and regiments under the leader
ship of Lerd Edward Tiugerald, Thos.'
Addis Emmet, William James Mac
Keven and Arthur O'Connor. The
Keltic mid Norm.tn element being
equally represented. The 21th
March was the i?y li.xcd for tbe out
break of the rebellion. J'reviom to this
time, however, tho government, thor
oughly advised through its secret agents,
of event-, seized these and other lead
ers, aud tlitew them into prison. Lord
Castlercagh, who had commenced his
career as a reformer and wa now chief
secretary, by birth an Irishman, was
the priDi ip.il instrument in crusmng
the rebellion of 171'6. Lord Cornwal
lis, smarting from his defeat at York-
lowu, commanded the English forces.

Martial law wan enforced with reiuoic
les cruelty. Everv man suspected of
being euroiled amoug the Irishtuen was
seized and tried by drumhead courts
martial, organized to convict, aud either
whipped to death or hanged. The Orange
lodges glultid their furv in the blood of
their countrymen. Nor age, nur sex,
nor condition were spared. Even little
childreu were .-onrged to compel them
to disclose the hiding jIaccof their
parents. Concealment wa punished
