Depopulation Of Ireland. One Of Gobbet's...
DEPOPULATION OF IRELAND . One of Gobbet ' s standing sarcasms , has applied to the writers in newspapers , was an encomiastic phraseofone of their admirers— ' Our best possible instructors . ' Whenever he caught any of the fraternity tripping either in fact , logic or grammar , he was sure to show them up in his own graphic and merciless style ; and it is doubtful it' any man over did more to damage the reputation and influence of writers for the Press , than one who owed his own reputation and power to his position as a
journalist . There are , however , two kinds of public instructors . One class , before they commence to teach others , conscientiously devote themselves to the study of the fundamental principles of society , and endeavour a'terwards , consistently aud constantly , to apply these principles to the discussion and elucidation of the passing events and questions of the day . They are thus enabled to exercise a considerable amount of political prescience ,
because they comprehend the logical sequence of cause and effect ; and from tho calm and enlightened survey of actual facts by the light of past experience , are enabled to pre diet with tolerable accuracy their future tendency and probable results . The other class are fluent , shallow , ad captanditm writers , who seize with great readiness upon the mere surface aspects of society—swim with the stream , aud live for the day . They possess the art of attracting the attention , and
eliciting the applause of those who have thought and learned as little as themselves , aud who are as much at the mercy of events without political compass or rudder . They and their readers are wise after the fact , and the practical consequence is , that they are for ever occupied in shutting the stable door when the steed Is stolen . Their writings are as inconsistent as they are ephemeral—the bubbles they blow to-day are followed by bubbles of a totall y different hue to-morrow , Not long ago the panacea for all kinds of social suffering in the British islands was emigration : —systematic colonisation . From the ' Times' and ' Spectator , ' downwards , nothing was to be heard but laudations of this
specific cure for all the social diseases wherewith English society was afflicted . They were , in the true spirit of empiricism , referred to one cause , aud that they averred a very obvious one— - ' There were too man y of us '— -the country was not big enough to maintain us all . And landlords , tax-eaters , annuitants , fundholders , and profit-mongers , united in shouting to the sm-plus population , ' that it was tneii > dut y forthwith to take themselves off , and leave England , Scotland , and Ireland to their rightful possessors—the easy comfortable classes .
Upon various occasions the < Northern Star ' took occasion to expose the folly as well as the political wickedness of the system of wholesale transportation advocated by theEmigratlouists . We endeavoured to show that the promises were false , and the conclusions fallacious , and that even putting out of sight the direct injustice and hardship of compelling large portions of tho labouring population to quit theii
native soil , in search of homes in distant lands , it was a political blunder of the gravest importance , fraught with the most serious consequences . Wo urged that the true wealth aud power of any , and of every , country consist essentially in the number , intelligence , and discipline , of its industrial population , and that every diminution must bo accompanied by a proportionate diminution of the national
means of producing wealth and sustaining the burdens of the body politic . Instead of shipping of the bone and sinew of the community to foreign shores , we proposed to organise labour and skill at home , and direct them to enterprises which would open up new sources of wealth—new elements of power—and provide more solid guarantees of enduring prosperity . Instead of our land being over-peopled , we demonstrated that the contrary was the fact . To say nothing of the fifteen mil ' -
tt •! , Tr- , t 6 but c » Hivable acres in the United Kingdom , there are other millions of under-cultivatod land , upon which , under rational arrangements , at least ten times the present amount of labour could bo profitably employed . ^ How could a country be overstocked with people , when , according to the population returns , thonumber of men , women , 30 non S J ? contaiQed . waa under ''S 2 M ? \ l l at the sarae timeil Wi 8 'admitted b y the highest authorities , even with
the political economists themselves , it could sustain in comfort , at least 100 , 000 , 000 ? It was surely time enough to think about flitting when we bad doubled our present population , say to 60 , 000 , 000 , in the course of some three quarters of a century or so . There would then have been ample room , and verge enough

j to make arrangements for emigrating ^^ in the meantime , agricultural saicaf ^ K still , and mankind did not learn to mV ^ game amount of surface produce a 1 ^ quantity of food , by improving scientifi * er cesses—a supposition , we need not add ° -J * Ions in itself . ' " % We argued , also , that while their-States and Great Britain are opposed t ^ other in competitive strife , as they « ° ^ every shipload of adult skilled operttiiv e ° ! ' * % ferred from theshores ot England to tho ? ^ Atlantic Republic , was furnishing ou . s * "'nents with ready-made weapons to < W ° ^" in the competitive market . We were ¦ i strengthening our great manuf acturing 6 commercial rivals by the self-same proCef ^ weakens ourselves . We send the rne . at creating more wealth to a free and li ghtly *? ° ^ country , and where thousands of square ^ of virgin soil , unburdened by tithe or rem ' - vite the settler ; and we then insan ely pose to compete with that country either ^ ° * own or neutral markets—We . ' ^ ith i " lf . nished industrial strength , and undimi .,-1 " national burdens ! m ^
Our remonstrances and argum ents v either treated with contemptuous silence ^ > ° £ uledby the politico-economical writers . Tii " earnedly-ignorant charlatans sueereij -. m ? ignorance and folly which Chartists cxli' j on subjects far beyond their reach vuid ccml prehension . Others denounced them as cue * mies , and obstructive to the commerci al prQ [ gress and greatness of the country , ihe game went on . From marquisses down to parish beadles the cry arose , 'Emi grate Emigrate . ' Associations of all sorts and siz 4 were formed to promote emigration : and tb «
result of all this activity and excitement was that the tide of population began rapidl y t 0 flow ; from our shores , though still not swiff enough nor in sufficiently large masses to please the emigration mongers , who JUiportu uatoly cried for more . They have ; at last got their wish—it „„ ,. appears more than they wish . They are afraid of their own handiwork , and now err ' )¦/ / 1 enough ! ' " am '
Emigration , which in Ireland tvas at nrst a hard necessity , has now become a passion The people are leaving its quays by thousands weekly , and if what lias been termed the ' Celtic Exodus' continues at the same rate in twenty years it will be completely tlepouu ' lated . Sir Joseph Y oukk once " said , the ' only effective way of putting an end to ' lrish distress would be to sink the island for twenty . four hours in the Atlantic . Ins t ead of hml drowned in the waters of that sea , the Iri « h people are making them a hi ghway to home friends ? , employment , hope , and freerlon- on
their opposite shores . America opens its arms wide to give ; them welcome and work . The vast vallies of the Mississippi and the St " . Lawrence invite them to settle , unmolested by landlord or agent , or poor-rate collector and from the savings of those who first were fortunate enough to escape from a landlord and priestridden country , immense sums are poured weekly into Ireland , for the purpose of paying the passage of the friends and relations tliev have left behind them . A significant
indication ot the extent of the emigration , and of the quarter to which it sets , is to he found in the money article of the * Times ' of Thursday . The Bank of England , having received a large quantity of golden eagles from the United States during the Great Exhibition ! offers to save the people who are Hying {' rum Ireland , the trouble , and probable loss of changing their money when they arrive there ; and as a further inducement , show that they will save considerabl y by the transaction , We maybe sure that this offer will not decrease the already strong tendency towards
! the States from which the Irish people are now in the habit of receiving such cheering accounts . America is no longer a distant and an unknown land , hut one in which vast numbers of their countrymen are enjoying liigV profits and wages , and are sending back not only detailed accounts of their own prosperity ^ but money to assist their friends in following their example . Tbe Atlantic is bridged over by cheap vessels , and ere long , if the attraction continue , the Irish people , accompanied by their ( irlests , will have transferred themselves to another country and another allegiance .
ISor is tho ' Exodus' entirely a ' Celtic' one . The Saxons are following the Celts . From cur own ports tho emigration to America has acquired a force and volume , which render it exceedingl y probable that the same kind of attraction will come into play in this country , which we have already noted with reference to Ireland . With numbers of relations uuu friends settled hi the States , they will no longer present a strange or doubtful aspect , hut rather that of a resting place , in which they can escape from the political and social bondage they feel so deeply here .
These iacts have at last arrested the attention of the mere surface writers of the Newspaper Press . They begin to perceive where it must inevitabl y end , and the Chartist foll y of yesterday has become tho wisdom of to-day . The 'Exodus' involves the prospect of political and social changes in this country , and to our own time , which , the ' Times' itself isnow constrained to admit , will infinitely transcend the greatest constitutional or dynastic revolutions that can possibly take place in Europe . The nature of these changes and their present and prospective results , wo must reserve for further remark next week . Meanwhile , who will say that they will nol end in an English Republic ?
