MR. BYRNE'S ADDRESS,

Delivered at the Concert Given by the Benevolent Trish Society, im Aid of the Patrick’s Nicht.

Yt am requested by our esteemed Presi deut and the Committee of Management to address you this evening. I regret that they had not chosen an abler mind and a'! more gifted tongue for this important duty. | But if I fail in doing justice to the, theme} that I have chosen, it will be butone more’ misery added to lreland’s already too lengthy catalogue. LOVE OF COUNTRY ig a desire implanted in the human heart by | the hand of the creator. Even in un- civilized life the savage exhibits a venera- tion for the soil over which his infancy has wandered. And the recital of the deeds of his forefathers in the songs, legends and ballads of his nation will sometimes cause uncontrollable emotion. At night im the, wigwam an aged chieftain telling the DEEDS OF VALOR

performed by some intrepid brave on the | tield of carnage in the day of invasion and | spoilation will cause the savage bosom to heave with. sympathy, and kindle in the untntored soul the fire of unquenchable revenge. When the youthful Ladian is told that the ancient oaks .at which he was ac- customed to gaze from his childhood, were once sprinkled by the blood of the illus- trous warriors of his tribe; that the mountains beneath whose shadews he wooed his dusky mate were the resting places of his

FEARLESS ANCESTORS ;

that the stream over which he paddles his light canoe once reflected the faces of the great men of his race, a spirit is awakened which nothing can destroy. Even in north- ern countries where ‘nature exhibits. her wildest and most uninteresting side. love of country is as strong as if their hills were clad with the vine, as if their forests sported in eternal green. It was LOVE OF COUNTRY

that cansed Moses, the great Hebrew prophet and legislator—the man whom God had selected to lead his chosen people from the land of -bondage—to kill an Egyptian who had smitten an Israelite. The prophet looked this way and that way; his breast filled with indignation ; tears rolled down his cheeks, at the thought of the distressed condition of his countrymen. He raised his powerful arm, and the minion of Pharoah rolled in death upon the’ sand. For lore of country, Judas Maccabees, the soldier priest; gathered the Jewish war- riors and scattere| the ranks of Antiochus under the walls of the sanctuary, made desolate as a wilderness. The same spirit

FILLED THE SOUL

of Ehud of Israel, when he smote Evlon of Moab, and then, with trumpet-call. from the mountains, cried out, ** Follow after, for the Lord hath delivered your enemies, the Moabites, into your hands.” Jael, the wife of Heber, the Kenite, pierced. the en- emy of her people through the temple, and Deborah, the prophetess, sang a song of triumph ever the glorious event. Whiat spirit animated the bosoms of the gallant Spartans, defending the pass of Thermo- pylae?) What spirit nerved the arm of the fearless Leonidas, when performing the deeds of MILITARY PROWESS

that remain to this day as the most exalted example of undying patriotism? Love of the land that bore them. But the most splendid instance recordered in history of a heart yearning with leve for his native land, is that of the illustrious Roman Gen- eral Caius Marins. ‘He was exiled from his country. He could not return to her. One day he sat alone in the sunshine think ing of the time that the Roman’ people elected him to the ‘Consulship, ‘thinking of the time that he came home from the wars with the laure! wreath upon his brow and the trophies of his victories dy his side. Whilst in this reverie, thinking of the

INGRATITUDE OF HIS COUNTRYMEN, a messenger arrived from the Praetor com-| manding him.te quit the Province.. For 4 time the old man wassilent. The messen- ger, becoming impatient, asked ‘what sre- ply he would make the Praétor. The old general, the man who had- saved Rome, spoke aud said, *f Tell him that you saw Caius Marius sitting an exile among the ruins of Carthage.” . Wiliam Tell wander- img over his mative -mouniains with the wrongs of his ¢ountry so vividly fixed in his mind that, in the fuli tide» of ‘his patri- otic heart, he resolved that the land should be free fraar end to end. Free as the eagles are-—fvee, as the breeze that fans the moun- tain crags. . He told the tyrant of Uri that he had no vespect for the cap upon the pole at Atorf, that if the arrow but teuched. a single hair of the head of his darling boy another would sink deep into THE MONSTERS HEART. Hofer, the Tyrolese patriot, when he saw the foot of the conqueror on the neck of his country, roused'the peasantry of lis native land: and compelled the aggressor to restore the Austrian rule under which they lived. The cold and empty teachings of phil- osophy assert that any nation that has lost its independence deserves to be oppressed. This is nothing but varnished sophistry.

What a melancholy task is his who seeks for, the records of Poland on the historical tablet for the last fifty years! The nation that once carried its conguests as far.as Dacia, made the Dvian tremble, and chased. the flying Spahi be- yond the Danube ; the king who once pa- ternally planned his country’s weal ; the nebles who once, at the signal of foreign invasion, appeared clad in brass and steel ; the ‘peasant, who bared his brawny breast and stood in the last ramparts of his conn- try-—where are their names recorded | ‘*Whata prond moment was that which promised to be so propitious when the hopes of the country were, after a long interval of death like silence, awakened — but awakened to slumber again perhaps in eter- nal sleep.

THE GIANT WARRIOR OF CORSICA spread before the Poles a golden vision—he inoeked Poland with the name of Jiberty. At the head of his myriad men of war, he said to the Polish mother : ‘ That son who is in the cradle shall be free--Puland shall be free.”
