If unhappy Ireland has so long borne
her griefs without a struggle, il lias not
been from fear of war, but from a tender
regard for their unprotected families, nnd
a religious nbhornncc to bloodshed. I'ut
when famine drives men to dcsp.iration
these considerations will no longer influ
ence ilium, nnd then woe bo to the ty
rants who, by iheir cruelty and cxtoriion,
have dried up tho fountains of mercy,
nnd steeled (heir victims against the cries
of humanity. Tho feeble, when armed
with justice, become a mighty foe, nnd
their proud opprcsser may find lhat for
bearance has ceased to bo n virtue thnt
Erin's cries havo not ascended to Ilcnvcn
in vain that tho power that overthrew
the host of Pharaoh, showered fire nnd
destruction upon Sodom and Gomorrah,
nntl stayed lhe cmir.'o of tho sun till
Joshua defeated the enemies of Isrcal,
will brenk the bands forged by oppres
sion, nnd destroy lhe proud presump
tious power that dare enslave a noble,
heroic, wnrmheuricd race. "Vengeance
is mine," says Jehovah, nnd though il
may have seemed to have slept, the hour
is nigh when Ireland's haughty oppres
sors will feel it, nnd learn that they can
not, wilh impunity, pursue a course of
cruelly, oppression, and tyranny, without
moving the wrath of Heaven.
