GREAT BRITAIN AND IRELAXD . " Ireland has always "been treated -with injustice and HHbeaEty . *—Pitt " Ireland Tn « uniformly been plundered and oppressed . "—Juntas . Tars liberty 13 no abstract theory , suited only for the regions of the moon or the realms of Utopia , but a substantial good , intended and adapted for the happines of mankind . It is a boon ¦ worthy ] the desires not only of an indiTidual of a nation , but of the world . The blessing is universal , and the
• eeds , -wherever sown , must inevitably prodnce good fruit . It is universal , and creates so ¦ wonderful a sympathy , that the braTe and free-hearted ever rejoice , when they behold oppression trampled in the dust , and right elevated to its proper dignity . INo people can throw off the yoke of slavery -without conferring thereby a benefit upon every other people ; for , independently of the earth being cursed -with one 'tyrant Iks , liberal and equal doctrines are disseminated , and hearts in the remotest countries are fired by the deeds of patriots , and lighted up ¦ with a corresponding zeaL
Every step made by a nation tovrards the acquisition of freedom , may be regarded as a step towards the regeneration of the world ; for a free people by precept and example , plainly say"Go thou and do likewise . " Thus then interest should combine with svmp&thy to enlist at least our
prayers in the straggle of the oppressed -with the oppressor . How many a noble breast must heave— now with sorrow—now with joy—when contemplating the efforts of freedom engaged in mortal combat with slavery !; "Who can fail in taking part ¦ with the Swiss against their proad invaders ; with the American Colonies , when they refused to endure a ruinous taxation ; with the Canadas throwing off the chains of servitude ; with the undaunted , yet unforttmatePoles against thegraBpingavarice of Russia
with Greece , when in memory of ancient glory and of modern shame , she Ehrewdown the gauntlet of defiance to her insulting and despotic master ; and last , thongh not least in the cause , with unhappy Ireland , when tracing the retrospect of her sufferings and her wrongs , and of her noble , though ineffectual , endea-Tours to obtaniiedres 3 ? Yes ! we do feel the movings of Borrow and indignation , when we behold these things ; and especially when -we look upon our sister isle , bowed to the dnst and covered with wretchedness . The harp of Erin no longer "resounds
with notes of joy , but mournfully sighs forth melan choly and softened strains ; the Emerald Isle no longer smiles with plenty and with peace , but has become a waste—a ruin ; the shamrock is faded and Ees trampled under foot . All betokens servitude and oppression . It is a false calumny to assert that the "English people behold these signs of infamy , unmoved and careless , for they ardently desire to see justice done t o their feDovf-subjects and fellovf-sufferers . They have long sought the amity of Ireland ,
and when they themselves obtain their rights , their brethren in adversity will soon bid farewell to their wrongs . It is a common interest , and the pjig iiRh should unite with the Irish , and the Irish wiihtfceEugiis&torecover their jnsf dues . Englandia 5 n no enviable position , but Ireland is , and . for centuries has has been , the prey of knaves and fools , of tyrant monarchs , of Tenal parliaments , of too frequent apathy on her part , and of too vigilant avarice on the part of her foes .
It is horrible to reflect that in this age , bo vile a system should be perpetuated as that which has blighted the heart of a beautiful and fertile country and destroyed the peace of a frank , generous , and hopitable people , blessed with abilities and powers of no mean order . Two plans present themselves for the abolition of these iniquities ; the first is totally to reform our present legislature , and then possessing the means , to recompense the Izbij .: fee past disgzace "; paying them in -present
beaeTO ) « n ^^ gpffmiag ^ fcem future prosperity ; continue S 3 p- Oni ( at' ? . ^ 33 ia ^ Riglish most effect this change for thfflrown Xsppiriess , but should the Irish prefer another mode , the seeond plan is for them at once to demand a Repeal of the Union , and we can safely assure them that the English masses will support them in-any course , promising an amelioration of their miserable state .
It requires but little space to tell the wrongs of Ireland ; for they are too deeply impressed on ihe memories of all living , and too surely indicated by the poverty-stricken appearance of the country . "We will , however , br iefly glance at the trae history of Ireland , so that we may convey to all . oar readers correct notions on the treatment it has —fixpeaeacei at EngSsh bands .
There never was a greater error than that by which it 13 supposed that thi 3 country has a right of dominion over Ireland , or that Ireland was ever rightfully subbjngated to this country . In the reign of Hesbt II ., Ireland was divided into five kingdoms , and the Prince of one of these -ceded his country to the English Monarch ; it was given by those who had no right to give ; it was accepted by _ ¦ those -who had no right to accept—save the right conferred by power—the same right which the highwayman exercises over the property taken from those whom he has robbed . But even allowing
( and it matters little ) that it was acquired by conquest , yet that "is a right" —says Bulckstoxe—whieh , in reason and civil policy , can mean nothing more than that , in order to put an end to hostilities , a compact is either expressly or tacitly made between the conqueror and the conquered , that if they will acknowledge the victor for their master , he will treat them , far the fatnxe , as subjects , and not as enemies . And , as subjects and citizens of" state , they have a chum to citizen's privileges ; but this justice was even then denied , and the precedent of cruelty to Ireland is of very ancient date ; for in
the reign of Henbt III ., we find a number of the people applying for the benefits of the British law , and for the rights of a "British people . The King accordingly issned a mandate to the English Barons who possessed a portion of Ireland to permit the Irish to be governed by the law of England . But , we axe told— " The great English settlers found it more for tiaeirjaainediate interest that a free course ¦ honld be left to their oppressions—that many of those whose lands they coveted should be considered
as aliens—thai they shonld be furnished for their petty wars by arbitrary exactions—and in their rapines and massacres be freed from the terrors of arigaiy impartial and severe inbunaL They had the opportunity of making suci representations as ihey pleased to ± he Court of England , and such descriptions of the temper and -dispositions of the Irish , as Bii ^ it serve their own jacrposea most effeetaally . They succeeded in rendering the mandate ineffectual .
"Other attempts io obtain Eaghsh privileges werejenade ia the reign of ^ wjlrd I Rjch a * d IL , and HmiTIIL , but all were frustrated . The policy of ihe British Croivn appears io have been pretty well established ia ihe Teign of Elizabeth ; for we find her and her counsellors fling deciding : — * Should we exert eorselTes , " said they , "inredu « mj fliis country to order and civility , it must soon - acquire power and rubes ; the inhabitant * will thuB h » aJiesBrtedfrom England ; they will cast themselves into ih * arms of some foreign power , or perhaps erect thgjoselves into an independent and separate taie . Let as rather connive a * their disorders : for ft weak and disordered people never can attempt to detach themselves irom the Crown of England !
A most respectable opiffion for a Qneencertainly ; and one perpetuated to the jweseni day . The Irish were anxious to submit themselves as peaeefril subjects of a distinct country , nnde 7 the King of England ^ having a Parliament sitting irt Ireland—hut their application was refused , and they were subjected to th * b&sest of treatment .

In the reign of James I ., the work of civilisation ( a 3 it was called ) began , and the poor people were inured to cruelties which will ever bean comparison with which those inflicted by the Spaniards on the natives of America . Their institutions , if rude , yet beloved , were torn down with Tough unsparing vengeance ; their laws , if in some respects of an unjust and impolitic nature , yet Tevered and honoured , were not allowed gradually to sink into oblivion , but were exterminated at once aud for ever . Even Htoe , so veracious in these matters , is forced to allow that " disorders of every kind were ^ tn 6 rei g James I ., the vfork of dmiwafion
now severely punished , a resignation of all rights was vigorously eroded ; and no authority but that of king and law was permitted through the kingdTn ; a resignation of all private estates was even required , and the whole province of Ulster was seized and granted to a company . " < Hist . of England , v . 6 , c 46 . ) Divisions were fomented , brothers were inflamed against brothers , parents against children , and so that the lands might be confiscated and the natives destroyed , the unhappy people were first driven into resistance , called rebellion , by cruel oppression and then put to death by Tile treachery , called justice and legal
punishment . In the reign of Cbaio . es I . this fair land was exposed to the unprincipled rule of Stbafford , who chose that stage for the exercise of a despotism , afterwards so fatal to its owners , the King aud his "minion . The usurpation of Cbomwell in this quarter was also stained by blots never to be effaced . The Duke of York , afterwards James II ., took no less than 40 , 000 acres from a people , who had fought and bled for his father .
Prom the end of the wars of William III . to the year 1778 , a breathing time wa 3 afforded ; an opportunity was given for developing the natural resources of the country , and prosperity again offered its blessings . During this interregnum of civil persecution , the most severe restrictions were imposed upon their trade . At length a show of resistance ¦ was made , and volunteers for their country were rapidly enrolled ; the Ministry took fright and
repealed mo .= t of the obnoxious measures . The commerce of Ireland , before borne down , now righted itself , and the dead weight of monopoly and restriction being disposed of , it seemed to promise power yet . The effect was to increase popular energy , and the effects of that energy were made manifest in 1782 , a glorious epoch for Erin's independence , when a moral revolution was attained without the shedding of a drop of blood , or the committing of a single crime .
An act had been passedin the reign of George I . asserting the right of a British Parliament to make laws binding on the Sister Kingdom ; this statute was now repealed , and Irish liberty was thus virtually recognised . Between this period and 1798 , Ireland rapidly grew into power and prosperity . Mr . Pitt , in his speech for the Union , stated that Ireland imported to England prodncts to the amount of . £ 2 , 500 , 000 annually while English products exported to Ireland only amounted to £ 1 , 000 , 000 ; and Lord Chancellor Pluxket , at the same time , speaking of Irish wealth and power , said— " She is called to surrender them
all to the controuI- ^ -of who mIs a great and powerful continent , to whom nature intended her as anappendagel—to a mighty people totally exceeding her in all calculation of territory or population?—no : but to another happy little island placed beside her in the bosom of the Atlantic , of little more than double her territory and population , and possessing resources , not nearly so superior to her wants ; and this too an island that has grown great and prosperous , and happy , by the very same advantages which Ireland enjoys—a free and independent constitution , and the protection of a domestic superintendant parliament . "
And yet , notwithstanding these eloquent appeals , and the evident disinclination of the whole people , a parliament was found base enough to sell its country—a parliament was found base -enough to purchase it , at the expense of freedom to the whole nation . The kingdoms were united in 2799 , and the legislature of Ireland then , ceased ' to exist . lEbe very idea of this union had previously csuwdiusurrectwns and riots , but now—the chains were fbmly rivetted at a moment of dissensions , war , and perhaps too confident a reliance on the part of the generous Irish , towards those who had trampled on them for six centuries .
But this union is not binding , either by the decrees of God , or by the laws of man . The Irish Legislature had no right to transfer its powers to the British Parliament . They had a right to make laws , but not to make legislators . They had a right to be the legislative class of their countrymen , but not to . annihilate their country ' s legislature . Powers were never delegated to them of SBch : ** tent . £ w the . Briti ^ i rarnameni unite this Kingdom to Russia , and merge their own existence in that of the Turkish
Divan ? In the words of honest John Locke— " The Legislature cannot transfer the power of making laws into other hands , for it being but a delegated power from the people , they who" have it « annot pass it over to others . The people alone can appoint the form of the Commonwealth—which i 3 by constituting the Legislature , and appointing in whose hands that ahail be ; and when the people have said we will submit and be governed by laws made by such men , and in such terms , nobody else oan say other men shall make laws for them . "
The Union , however , was effected , and from that time Ireland has declined ; fresh burdens have been imposed ; new insults have been offered , and -her independance has dwindled to a shadow Coercive measures , insurrection acts , suspensions of Habeas Corpus , martial law , prohibitions of meeting aad of arming , have followed in quick succession , and the people have never been admitted to a share in our constitution . They have not been treated like subjects , but like foes , and Britain has cause to blush with Bhame when reviewing the annals , which tell of he ? conduct to Ireland since , as before , the Union .
TheParliamentwhich , placed in the neighbourhood of national maladies , had opportunities of affording relief , is merged in that of Great Britain , and the members are actually stolen from their electors , and removed from the only proper influence ; the Parliament which Gbattan impressively observed , he had watched in _ its cradle , and followed to - the grave , has been transplanted to another atmosphere , and one , alas ! breathing nought ' but d « a , thto its distant victims .
The greatest curse which has befallen the Irish must be chiefly attributed to absenteeism 1 The existence of a resident Legislature necessarily checked this monster-evil , and thus one great source of prosperity has been destroyed . There is little doubt but that the chief object of the British Government in carrying the Union , was to obtain complete control over the revenues of Ireland . England was in debt about seventeen times the sum owed by ' Ireland ; England was engaged in a disastrous war ; it needed money ; and therefore the Irish resources were handed over to its clutches . The injustice of the financial was fully equalled by that of the legislative provision , for the proportion of numbers and wealth far . exceeded the scanty amount of members , ( one hundred ) furnished by Ireland .
In consequence of illiberality , prejudice , and the Tvant of a more extended influence in Parliament ffidepjfcdently of the evils we have already mentiontaoned , a vast number of propositions , highly per-* 7 * *^ ™ te , We becomelaTLandlords have been given greater power ; taxS bas been much increased-and that on a BJe by no means fair ; it being declared that fdnce ^ W « A £ tS per cent , on all the necessaries of life thTJ penditure in that country ia diminished to ' a formi * dable extent , theBritish Government being wonder , fully economical in the salariteof Irish functionaries , which ewnomy coupled with tte withdrawal of

absentee rents , has greatly injured the circulation ; , exports and imports are much less than they were i previous to the union ; th » consumption has of coursei decreased ; the Bupport of a church , whose tenets ^ are directly opposed to their dearest opinions and whose Christian meekness damns them , as heretics , has been entailed upon them . All these and many other blessings , Ireland has derived from the Union ! Yes ! behold a ruined country , a beggared peasantry pointing to the glory and prosperity flowing front the unioal When we call to mind the former independence and happiness absentee rents , has greatly injured the circulate
of this brave and good nation , and contrast with them their present servitude and poverty , can we refrain fromwishing them a happy release , arid from joining every effort to theirs for the obtaining of "a commutation" so devoutly to be wished . " Can we fail to remember with pleasure , and to praise , and to imitate those glorious patriots , who have endeavbnred to free their country from its yoke ? In that immortal list we behold Gbattan , Corran , BrniiE , Fitzgerald , Emmett , the exile—Aiithur O'Co . vxoh , and a host of other undying names , imprinted on the memories of their countrymen , and recorded in the histories-of their country .
We exhort all yet to persevere ; and we know the English people will assist . Let the Irish people also aid us in our struggle for a just and equal mode of Government . The acquisition of English liberty will be the signal for the destruction oflrish servitude . Let the people of Ireland govern themselves ; having their own Legislature ; let the people of England be governed according to the rules of their ancient constitution , according to the maxims of justice and reason . The Repeal of the Union for Ireland , and Universal Suffrage for England , be our cry ?

DEATH AND RESURRECTION OF LORD BROUGHAM ; It seems that , in ' the early part of the present week , a trifling accident ' " having happened to Lord Brougham , some wicked wag thought fit to kill the Learned Lord for fun ; and forthwith a special breeze of affectation and hypocrisy was blown through the whole country by the organs of both factions in the Metropolis .
It was indeed laughable to see the Ministerial prints , gmarting under the recent flagellation bestowed , alike on them and on their patrons by the Noble , Learned , and sarcastic Lord , clumsily seeking to conceal their joy at his departure under a decent cover of regrets and reference to his miscellaneous talents and accomplishments ; nor was it less amusing to see how the second part of the same tune
was chaunted with but few variations by the Tories , whose knowledge of the Noble Lord ' s character was quite deep enough to make them regard his aid as a rather dangerous accession . Ho waver , to the great disappointment and mortification , as we verily believe , of both parties ^ there is no supper after the song—Brovgham is ni > t dead . The Lord Harry yet lives , as we hope , to plague both their HouBes for some time longer .

TAXATION . We beg to direct the especial attention of our readers to an important document on our sixth page , the Petition of Mr . Samuel Wells . This document should be read and carefully studied by all whose circumstances have not been such as to enable them to know the many modes of villany , by which the hardly acquired earnings of the working people are niched from them , arid swallowed up by state locusts .

MUNICIPAL ELECTIONS . THE FACTIONS . -A CHOICE OF EYILS . We are sorry to perceive that a portion of the Radicals are rushing from Scylla to Charybdis Disgusted , as they well may be , with the selfish hypocrisy and multiform villainies of Whig domination , they are resolving to throw " theniselves into the bands of the Tories . - : < ; , 7 / : ' If this be done in the expectation of findi » g ^ ny more gratitude , or better usage , among titeljViries than among the Whigs , they will find UfoljSftlves lamerikably . jmistaken . ] . - ' ¦ - ¦' ¦ . ' - '¦ " .. . Twin . de : rfls are they ; equally malform'd ; Nar thought of good in either dwells , but when Their own co rrnpted forma may be its subject
There « an only be one case iu which it would not be madness to aid either of the factions ; and that ii where the people are comparatively powerless of themselves , through the trammels which corrupt legislation may have flung around them , and where one faction has a decided predominance over the other . In all such cases the people should help the weakest be which it may . Because sushislaftir mutuoJ ^ tWnt for plunder , that , if their poWerbo but balanced pretty evenly , they will fight for the cheese like Kilkenny cats , till they devour each other to the tails .
With respect , therefore , to the" Municipal Elections ; let the people in every Borough calculate , not wildly on revenging themselves upon the treacherous Whigs , but wisely , on serving their own-interests and the cause of right . Let a committee of Radicals in every such case ascertain the exact position of the strength of the contending parties ; put in as many Radical Councillors as possible , ( wherever such an anomaly as a Radical possessing the property qualification can be me ! with , ) and take special care that the rest shall be , as far as their exertions can secure it , fairly and equally proportioned .
If this plan be acted on , good is sure to come out of all the squabblings and quarrellings which will arise from the admixture ; but if the people set themselves blindly to support the Tories out of mere resentment against the Whigs , they will find eventually that they have spent their strength for nought , or it may be , for less than nought . Let not party or personal feelings of animosity cause us for one moment to lose sight of principle . Our great principle is to secure tho due and adequaterepresentation of all the people ; and whenever ^ e make a single move on the political chess-board that we cannot clearly see to have a bearing on the accomplishment of this purpose , we commit an error that may involve serious consequences . ;

THE VICTIMS . - ; , ; On our third page will be-found , extr&etei ^ tom the Nottingham . Review , the report of the trials and sentences of the Mansfield snd Sutton-in-Aanfield Chartists . The means resorted to for the accomplishment of their objects , by the villanous government which now abuses and burlesques the attribute of power in this country , may be well understood from the manner in which the fears and passions of a middleclass jury are practised on by-a rascally lawyer employed for the prosecution in this case .
The scoundrel begins his address to the jury by informing them that the prisoners affected to belong to a body calling themselves Chartists , who had recently convulsed and agitated the country from one end to the other ; their object being to effect a revolution , and , in the scramble that muat ensue , to possess themselves of the property which was now in other hands . - There can be no doubt that this villain is , at least , practically , an atheist ; for , had he recognised the all-pervading presence of an infinitely just and holy God , he would not have dared thus deliberately to outrage truth .
For tfhsX purpose did the petty scoundrel , under cover of $ Ja - forensic privilege , utter this atroc&us and unBuppoi ^ ed calumny I Clearly to prejudice and bias themin ds of the jury , whom he thus sought to frighten before the case was heard . It was the duty of the chairman * f the bench to have pointed out to the jury that no p- * 0 Of had been offered by the counsel of this infamous assertion ; but it was rather unlikely to find that du'ty performed .
