From the reign of the Henry’s to the youthful Victoria, Ireland has bled at ev ' - cry pure. and solar had she gone on in ,theroad ofdrunltennestl. that it appears ‘ from ofiiciat reports to the British Portia. ;H‘ ment. that she consumed annually the e normous quantity ol 23& millions ol gal j; lons'ot‘ strong drink. This consumption .!, was attended oitha yearly expense of 40 ,millions of dollars. Every filth ‘shop in ~ 1. the city of Dublin. was a dratn shop. and : ..‘the uholc country groaned beneath 40 "'thousand groggcrtes! A minister of the r-eatablished church writes ~lrum Dublin; " it would really appear this night with ‘ out exaggeration. that the flood-gates ol ;:' hell* were opened in our ‘city, so lieiidtsh. ‘ ’so tumultuous. .8011“! virulent were the wicked rotaries Who issued frorn these ‘ drum shops.” And with such hn'exrrs . taxation upon a poor population.vand with such facilities for drunkenness, lrelandi ' was reduced so low. that UH) millions ol‘ her inabitnnts ivert: left without the nde~ quate means of subsistance, and lor thir ty weeks of the year, were dependent up on charitable aid. or else on depredations upon their neighbors property. With such accounts and Statistical facts before us, we are able to read the true cause ol Ireland’s perpetual adversity and suffering.

The American Indians cer tainly were a noble race of people. With a kindness and hospitality suchas ennoblea and dignifieshumanity. they welcomed the priest'ridden and oppressed of the East to a habitation and a home amid the cool shades and hunttng grounds of the forest. Peace. harmony and comparative happi nrss pervaded the length and breadth at their extended .lerritory.

Esq, Secretary of the Ne“ York State Temperance Society, it appears that the citizens of these United Slatea‘ have consumed on an average every yet"- lrom the late war up to-1880 and lottgcntnuffl than 80} millions of gallons nl spirituous liquors. That is. for each man, woman and child, 4&gallons! The annual cost ol this consumption have been nothing less than 35:} millions ol dollars. And “hat has been lhe result? In thetltltle state ol Maryland. the costs of intemper ance to the commonwealth have been as certained to exceed the revenue from grog gery licences lg! million» at dollars. just about the atnuunt of unpaid interest on {the public debt.

A Thus generation after generation passed away. whilstriveraol blood and countless lives Were sacrificed at the ingloriooa shrine of intempéiance,‘filling the land with the weeping nl widows. and the wai ting ol helpless orphans. 'All the nation’s pulses Were infected with the poison. 'l‘he plague visited every haunt; passed tliro’ consecrated graves. and entered the most aacred enclosures; chilled many warm & patriotic hear‘ta; & entered the very doors inf our capitol, and left the stain at its pol lnting touch upon our nation’s glory. The monster raged rampant over the States. nttening his path uilh poverty and blood, lalttl spreading destruction and death at eiery step. A dark cloud at length be. gun to gather over the national firmament. threatening a speedy and general desola tlon. Our ships of commerce canted with them the evidences and stains of Ameri can debauchery to all the kingdoms of the earth. Foreign nations, and even the hen then lifted up the notes of our defamation. And all the world united in branding us “a nation of drdnkards.” ’l'he ahnul at liberty began to loose its laltsmanic poul er over the hearts of the vessels of monar chy.
