A Monster petition for the Repeal of the Legislative Union between Great Itritain and Ireland is about to be presented to the Impe rial Parliament. The petitioners are Irish, end there can be no doubt that their move ment, which is less noisy but more dangerous than before, has been the result of Lord John Russell's vehement vindication of the right of all oppressed people to assert their own in dependence, and of , the duty of England to recognize their efforts to do so. Is Ireland. misgoverned None but an ig norant and conceited writer dare pretend that she is not. Neither has Ireland been pro perly governed by-England at any time during the seven hundred years which have elapsed since, by fraud and force, the Anglo-Normans effected her subjugation. Ireland never has been paternally and honestly governed by her English oppressors. Ever since Henry the Second obtained a footing in Ireland, the uni. form policy has been to rule the country by dividing her inhabitants—to set class agaihst class—and, after the , Reformation, to array creed against creed. At this very moment, the great majority of the Irish people, being Catholics, are, compelled to' support the Church of England in Ireland, as by law established," and also have to maintain their own clergy, and erect and support their own places of worship. This, toe, out of ex treme poverty. Moreover, Irishmen are rarely appointed to high station in England, never in Scotland, very seldom (except the Judges and Jaw officers) in Ireland. The Irish Viceroy is an English Earl; the Irish Chief Secretary, Mr. Cardwell, is an Englishman. Nearly all the other high appointments are tilled by Eng lishmen. With four exceptions—namely, Lord Clare, Lord Plunkett, Masten Brady, and Francis Blackburne—lreland has had none but English Lord Chancellors, and since the reign of James the Second, nearly two cen turies agn,Deland has had only two native born Viceroys—namely, Lord Wellesley, from 1821. to 1828, and Lord Bessborough, in 1846-7. Even the Archbishop of Dublin is an Oxford man. Yon may travel Ahrough Scotland, however, without finding any but Scotchmen in responsible and lucrative Government offices. It is only in Ireland that to be a native of the country seems looked upon as a disqualification for high office. In India, two-thirds of the good appointments are held by Scotclimen, nearly all the remain der by Englishmen ; scarcely an Irish name occurs in the'long list of office-holders there. In the Colonies, it is much the same, the main exceptions being that, in Australia, a few high offiees are held by Irishmen ; some, brit fewer still, in Canada ; and Francis Hincks, a native of Cork, is Governor of the Windward Islands. - It is very well to pooh-pooh these facts, and still maintain that Ireland is fairly dealt with by her cruel step-mother. The British Cabi net consists of fifteen politicians, and not one of these is an Irishman. We take the list of cc Ministers, Officers of State," &e., at the conclusion of Dod's Parliamentary Compa nion for 1861, and there find seventy-three great offices, and, among their occupants, how many Irishmen ? Mr. Bagwell, a Junior Lord of the Treasury; Mr. Ritzier° Brady, Lord Chancellor of Ireland; and the Irish Attorney and Solicitor General, who must be Irish lawyers. Lord Bessborough, an Irish peer, is Master or the Buekhounds; but, besides being an absentee, he was born in London, and sits in the House of Lords as an English Baron. We turn from Dod to the Illustrated London Almanack, which has a fuller list of general appointments, and find, among two Judges, each with a salary of not less than £5,000 a • year, half-a-dozen Scotelanen, corn- Mewing with Lord Chancellor Campbell ,(with £lO,OOO per annum), only two Irishmen —both Justices of the Court of Common Pleas-viz.: Sir James S. •Wiles and Sir Henry S. Resting. Lord Monteagle (former ly-Mr. Spring Rice) is Comptroller of the Ex chequer, and Sir J. Emerson Tennent is Secre tary of the Board of Trade; and we cannot find any other Irishman, save Mr. Bagwell, already mentioned, who holds high office s Here is the full count of high English offices occupied by Irishmen—one Junior Lord of the Treasury; one Comptroller of the Ex chequer; one Secretary of Trade; two pu lane Judges. Per contra, crowds of English: born people, and a large per centage of Scotch. With the two exceptions, (in the Treasury and the Exchequer,) 44 no Irish need apply" seems to be the rule for English appointments. No Irish in the high situations in the Privy Council Office; nor in the Education Board; nor in the Lord Great Chamberlain's Office ; nor in the Crown Office ; nor in the Privy Seal Office; nor in the Home Office; nor in the Foreign Office ; nor in the Colonial Office; nor in the India ciftice ; nor in any of the five offices of the War Department; nor in the offices of the Admiralty and Marine ; nor for the Woods and Forests ; nor in the Duchy of Cornwall ; nor in the Post Office ; nor in the Custom House ; nor in the Inland Revenue Office ; nor in the Audit Office ; nor at the Poor Law Board ; nor in the Civil Service, Copyhold, Estates' Emigration Commissions; nor at the Mint; nor in the National Debt Office ; nor in the Public Works Loan Office ; nor at Trinity House; nor in Heralds' Col lege; nor in the General Register, Judge -Ad voeftte-GeneraPs, Public Record, or State Paper Offices; nor in the Duchy of Lancas ter; nor in Courts of Law, (except the two Judges, Willes and Keating, in the Common Pleas,) said Courts including Chancery, Queen's Bench, Exchequer, Admiralty, Ar cher, Bankruptcy, Probate, and Insolvency ; ; nor in the Vicar General's and Faculty's Offices. Half a dozen Irishmen, and about fifty Seotchmen in about three hundred of the most honorable, influential, and lucrative offices in England. Not one Irishman in the Cabinet. Yet, indeed, we are to be told that Ireland has no cause to complain of being slighted, no right to raise the cry gf Ireland for the Irish." Ireland fain would pin Lord John Russell to his deliberately expressed declaration that every people who desire self-government should have it. He said, let Italy have a dis tinct nationality, under the ruler of her own choice; let Venetia, if so it please her, cast off. allegiance to the Emperor of Austria, and become part of the new Kingdom of Italy; let France prefer a Bonaparte to an Orleans monarch ; let Hungary reject the misgovern ment of Austria; let Poland, eschewing the tender mercies of the Czar, again become an independent country. But, when the case of Irebmd comes before him, be cries cc Oh, Ire land must not come within this category." Must not ! And why ? Has not Lord John Russell, speaking not only for the Ministry, but for the Queen of England, declared that the people themselves are alone to judge whether they are governed paternally or op pressively. 4‘ The Irish are.well-governed,". says Lord John. But he has no right to give an opinion, for he is one of the Ministry whom the Irish accuse of misgoverning them- As an accused party he cannot act as judge in this matter. In the eyes of the Monarch and Government of England, have the Irish fewer' rights than the-Italians, the Hungarians, the Poles? May foreignera seek to change their rulers, and the Irish not ? Does Ireland prosper under British misrule? If it , did, would a million and a half of Irish people have perished of famine and disease in 1847 'Would other millions have fled from the land of their birth and their affections to seek another home, under more, equal laws, in the New World I Look at the Census Re turns: all , parts of 4‘ the United - Kingdom" largely increasing in population--/relend alone TWO CENTS. decreasing. Here are the retups of popula tion, decennially taken from 1821 inclusive, and what a sad record it is Population of Ireland 6,801,827 in 1821. cc " 7,767401 in 1831. " 8,175,124 in 1841. " 6,515,794 in 1851. 5,475,000 in 1861. Estimated at That is, tho Irish population about a mil• lion and a half less now than it was forty years ago. No wonder that Ireland should desire to alter the fatal connection under which such a fatality has occurred. No wonder that a Parliament in College Green should be eager ly desired. No wonder, should that fail, (for remedies are sometimes applied too late,) if Ireland should aspire, like Hungary, once more to be an independent country. Infantry Tactics. In an emergenoy like the present, everybody is Inquiring for the best book on Infantry Tactics, and the relative merits of Cooper, Scott, Hardee, Gilham, and others, are disowned by thousands who are putting them to praelleal use. Only a few words, after careful examination, are needed to settle their claims Cooper was the manual many years ago. Boott's improved manual, in three volumes, entirely superseded this, and was appointed by law as the regulation drill for the army. Gen. Scott's excellent work wee, almost, without alteration, translated from the Fretted, from whom all the world has drawn, and is contently draw the most improved military inetruotion. /n arrangement and erectness; it exhibits Gen. Scott's characteristic care andprecision. Finding, however, that French invention and ingenuity had made further important improve ment', the United States Government appointed Uolonel Hardee to superintend the translation of the new French system for Light Infantry, and it was at once adopted by the Secretary of War for all infantry regiments of the United States army. The movements are simplified and rendered much more rapid, and the system, as a whole, is far preferable to Scott's. There is a complete drill for infantry of the line, as well as light infantry. Now, it is a disagreeable feet that Col. Hardee, who translated the book, and has no other merit in the matter, and Jefferson Davie, who, as the Secre tary of War, ordered its use, are both is the ranks of the enemy. But to denounce its use, as one of our ootemporaries has done, on that account, is like refusing to study Euclid's geometry or to apply the principle of the lever, because Euclid and Ar ohimedes were heathen. The simplest remedy, if one be needed at all, is to let Secretary Cameron hone a new order, and change the disagreeable name to " Authorised Tactics for the United States Infantry." Mean while: let no one care for the name, but use the best for its own sake, and thank, not the translator, but the Frenob, for their excellent instruction. The Manual of Arms In Soo We Tootles is not suited to the improved rifle musket, while Hardee's is. The movements in Scott are too slow, and require many halts In formation, while Hardee makes many manainvres In double quick time, and with- out halting between two. Hardee is the book for the use of the troops now drilling. By all means let the Government and State authorities look to this, and not put us fifty years beck in this matter. Gilbam's Manual is compiled for volunteers in all corps. It contain, a treaties on Artillery, with the complete artillery drill ; one on Cavalry, with a complete drill; and Hardee's Infantry drill, (with Boott'a manual of arms for the old musket, when that is used, wbioh will only be when the rifle musket cannot be had). tfllham has also a complete set of forme of all the papers used for companiee and regiments, mne• ter-rolle, commissary, and Qaerterreaster papers. In short, it is an invaluable wade mecum for the soldier in barracks or camp. Wham, to our mor tifiestion, is a Virginia officer, but the book was prepared when Virginia was as thorough-going a Union State as she is now thoroughly demoralized, and by a person entirely competent to make it. Fas est at haste doom; says the old proverb, and we mud use these books with as hearty a good will for their own merits as though George Wash ington had written the one, and Andrew Jackson the ether ; and with the excellent spirit which animated the first to resist unlawful oppression, and the second to crush unlawful secession.

Pause. For The Prem.] To the. Hon. Charles J, Ingersoll. • PHILADNLPRIA, April 29, 1881 fire: There is a painful report current that you have invited the living five ex•Presidente to take steps to settle the present diffioulties. Now, while no man doubt. your patriotism, and your anxiety and desire to have this foal rebellion put down, yet, if you will look at it in a comprehensive man ner, and with the eye of a statesman, yon meat know that the hour of amicable adjustment has passed away—you must know, that unless armed traitors unconditionally surrender, that there can be no peasmable adjustment. What, air ! settle this rebellion amicably with armed traitors? Im possible ! impossible ! Let me direct your atten tion to some things, which, no doubt, you have already thought of. The conspirators went into the Charleston Convention, and afterwards into that of Baltimore, with the avowed intention and purpose of breaking up your party and mine. No doubt some well meaning Northern Democrats unknowingly aided them; but, on the other hand, there were a few Northern renegades who were willing to perpetrate any crime, treason included, which their Southern mestere dictated. Then oame the different nominations for the Presidency, with what results we know. After several overt acts of treason—after Floyd had robbed the United States Government of its war material, under the very nose of President Baohanan ' and placed it within the greet) of rebels—after Mr. Buchanan bad neglected,. criminally neglected, to reinforce our national fortresses—then Caine the insult to the national flag, by firing on a United States vessel. Next the bombardment of Fort Sumpter, and its capitulation by its handful of heroes. livery insult and injury heaped upon the Federal Government, until the blood of our brethren, the defenders of our national existence, redden the streets of Baltimore, and their murderers thirst for more. Now,' I appeal to you if this is not a fair statement of facts, as they have - marred during the past nine monts. Never mind going back to the Abolitionism of last year or the year before, or to the nullification theories of the school of Cal houn, because there is no time to think at present of past faxiaticiams or treason ; we have now to face and deal with the stern realities of civil war, re bellion, and treason. Settle these first, and then for discussing minor questions. It appears to me that our diffieulties can only be adjusted in one way. If the North ie in the wrong, it ought to be beaten. I have met no man who does not agree with me that the North is right. Then, as the North is right, she - is certain to win, provided she be not deluded by miserable attempts at compromise There can be no compromise with rampant treason. The North has right, might, and money on her side; and, although she was caught napping, she arose like a giant from a long and re freshing sleep, and has taken her destiny and that of the Federal Union in her hands; and woe betide thelmethamone reputation of the man or men who shall attempt to divert or turn aside the righteous indignation of the people. I have seen remote in the public press that an armistioe or truce is asked, or about to be asked for: No truce, no armistice. Never, never in the histbry of nations was any people so .profoundly upheaved from its very recesses as ours has been during the <past . fifteen days. The strong arm of the Almighty. that nerved and guided the men of '76 has not abandoned this nation in 1961. Let no political legerdemain attempt to thwart the final settlement of this creation ' for it must be set tied now, finally, and forever. Dou think, sir, I that patching up a compromise own be permanent ? You must know that the political desperadoes who Wire plunged the nation into civil war, unless they are- utterly, (noshed out, will: be ready to perpe trate similar crimes upon future occasions. They must be rendered Towering for migobief. Do you not see that the ministers of every oreed—that the members of the legal and medical profession, as well as the working classes and commercial com munity, are almost a unit to conclude this war only in one way, and that way is, that the laws of the United titates snail be put in force in every State is Union, and that the right of 30001610 n shall be'foreimr ignored ? With regard to how this le to be done, it is the duty of the Cabinet to designate the method ; and it is equally the duty of the people to sustain the constituted authorities. There is another tepid that ought to be brought to the notice of our State Legislature and City Coattails Our volunteers, many of them, will leave families; who will be des.

GREENWOOD, Del., April 29,18.61 The citizens of this email village, and vielnity„ on the Delaware Railroad, raised, on Satifrday, the 27th, a line ash pole, sixty feet above the ground, and run to the top of it the American sag, the stars and stripes of our glorious Union. This is, perhaps, the first flag unfurled to publlO"view, the present year, in sinesex county, and is In the DemoOratio banner Hundred of the State. A few tories from the neighborhood were :present, as lookers-on, and seemed to indulge in low Murmur ings of hatred for the flag of their country, which they are miscreants enough to wish to Bee humbled by the black flag of rebellion. A call for a Union meeting of the county, irre spective of political parties, to be held et George town, on the 7th of May next, was circulated at, the same time for signatures, and received the names of the patriots present, and membeirs of all parties. The traitors, however, who looked upon' the flag with polluted eyes, refused to sign the Mi. And the reasons they severally gave were rather amusing. A part objected because, they said, it was an enlistment for the war, and as they didn't; frisk to fight, they would not sign -it. The others. said, they didn't know whose hands they might, fall into, and they wouldn't sign it, for fear of, giving offence. There are a large number of Disunionista in this county, but the number of eitisens in favor of their country predominates over the others, and the Government is increasing in strength. The un- - mietaltable Union mevements In New Cootie county, and particularly in the City of witatlngton, have oaused the wavering to take the side of their Go vernment, and canted " a change to come o'er the , spirit of their dreams," with several Disunionists, who are looking to the people for office. , The Douglas men of this county and State are, to a man, on the aide of their Government, and opposed to all rebels and usurpers within and with out its territories. Delaware wall not secede, even if every other slave State should go out. It will remain In the Union, and depend upon Pennsylvania to return its fugitive slaves who may esoape into that State. The defection in Virginia and Maryland has strengthened the Union sentiment in this State. Union Meeting at Conahohacken# An adjourned meeting of the citizens of Consho hocken, Montgomery county, was held on Wednes. day evening, April 24, at which, as at the prelimi nary meeting, on Monday evening, almost the en. tire male population was present. The utmost enthusiasm was manifested, and there was a ge nerd expression of determination to support, the Government to the fullest extent. The following resolutions, presentedby the com mittee appointed at the previous meeting, were - adopted by aeolamation • hereas, Certain of the slave States in the ex ercise of a pretended right of seceindOn, (a princi ple which if once acknowledged would render all • future peace and good will between the States impossible,) have not only taken up arms in open rebellion against the Government, WI- " ed the Federal arms, money, and forts, but - are granting freedom of piracy on our oom- . memo, and have actually threatened and are preparing to march an army to capture Washing ton and invade the North, and all this with the de sign of subverting the Constitution ' and _destroy- log our noble Union under which we have ever en joyed the most perfect freedom end protection: therefore, Resolved, That it is the duty of every true citi zen, in such an emergency, to deolare his undying loyalty to the Union, and to give the Government • all the support in his power to put down rebellion and to punish treason. Resolved, That we pledge ourselves to furnish our full share, on every call made for volunteers. • Resolved, That treasonable sentiments will not be countenanced in this neighborhood. Resolved, That the arrogant, vacillating, and finally treacherous course of Virginia has greatly encouraged the "rebels and invited the war to her own borders, hat farther north than this we are resolved it shall not come, Resolved, That the present deranged state of business is a great hardship to all , true and loyal men throughout the country, which we are willing quietly to endure only so long as maybe necessary to give the authorities time to put down this atro cious rebellion ; and we, therefore, dell upon all good citizens to unite with us is urging upon the President, as a duty he owes to ns, to bring our troubles to a speedy obnclusion, by a mostvigoretta prosecution of the war Resolved, That every able-bodied man in the town, beyond the age of eighteen, be milled upon to enrol himself at once in a home guard for drill, in order the more perfectly to encourage a military spirit among us, suited to the times, and eo that any of our number who may leave us hereafter to join Abe army of volunteers, may be able more ef fioiently to serve their country. Resolved, That the Committee of Safety, ap pointed at the last meeting, be continued as a per manent body, with power to fill vacancies or to add to their number The committee is as follow lion John Wood, ohairman ; O'Brien, secretary ; Dr. J K Reid, Elwood Jones, B.

In January last, when various peaoe propositions were under comdieration in the United States Senate, allusions were frequently made by South ern Senators to the probabilities of flush a oonalet u has now been oommeneed. They freely uttered threats against the North, of which the following extracts are specimens : (From the Sunk ofieffArsoliltavis, delivered January lo iss .7 My friend from Louisiana, in closing his remarks, referred to the dicastroue nonce which might be oosasioned by the invasion of the South. .He did not offer the other tide of the picture ; and yet I have seen that, in Northern papers, be has been criticised for saying even what he did. There is, however, another side to the picture. An OW with banners would do but little harm in march ing through a country of plantations.
