St. Mary's, Halifaz, July 22d, 1867. § Dear Sir: At a crisia like the present, when the eiection mewbers for the House of Commons in the new Dominion of Canada is about to take place, I feel it a duty to address you, as Seeretary of! Mr. D'Arcy McGee's Election Committee, and at a distonce of eight hundred miles, to raise my | humble voice in behalf of an [rishinan, who, under a kind Providence, has been mainly instrumental in lifting up his fellow countrymen and co-religion- ista to w position which, I believe in my heart, | Thomas D’Arey MeGee, as an individual, may | have his faults and his shortcomings—from which no mere buman being, however great and good, | can be entirely exempt; but as a public man, | whose career I have narrowly watched witb the | | to call him from that hour. | towering ability of D’Arey McGee had but to i land his fellow-countrymen were blindly march- | ing on te inevitable destruction, and ainid sense- LITERATU LETTER FROM HIS GRACE THE ARCH | Mexico, and the men of the South, side by side | lips, the demagogue and the brawler have in- the same place, as well as a large | with the patriotic soldiers that fell on the cawe yariably proved themselves, when in power, | schooner, name unknown, | field?

If the! | truth were known—and it is known—inetead of sharing in the disasters of Ireland, and the fate of her ill-guided though bravest children, the real leaders are sharing at this moment the spoils of | a big-hearted but a plundered and deluded people. | One or two years since a man of very common- place ability, and of no character whatever, } night have earned any amount of Lrish popularity | by a similar process. All he need do was to wake a high-sounding speech, without mineing watters. He should deal largely in Irish grievan- lees, with fire, and thunder, and vengeance. as his steck in trade, and bid defiance in his own person—a!ways, mark you, carefully kept away | from danger—and he becomes hero and chieftan, | and any other grand personage you may please A :nan with the bold his tongue and preserve an ominous and | significant silence, whilst in Canada as in Ire- less and rabid men his patriotism might be insured at a swall premiom, and his popularity | endure like that of O'Mahony, and Roberts, and | Stevens; but throughout British America, as) in Ireland, men of all other creeds and nation- may speak free.’’---Euripides.

If you but listen the while the true ring of the genuine metal is never to | be heard. If you were to believe this class ot men, there is no patriotism nor honesty in the world but their own. From many speeches made in reference to Ire- land and her wrongs, in these latter times, one would imagine that all love of country was com- pletely absorbed by an unimportant fraction of the whole people, while to wy certain knowledge, and tu the honor of Lreland be it said, that there are millions in that country unconnected with secret eocieties, including the whele Catholic Ep- — oe — THE LAST INDIAN FIGHT. The following description of the Iast Indias fight at Fort Wallace, Kaseas, noted in our telegraphic despatches a week or two sinoe, is from the correspondence ef the Pbiladelpbia Press :— I have seen battle-fields where for giles the dead and the dying, warrior and steed, lay «mn the gory fieid. It has been my fate to be beside the weunded and the dead on the night of horror succeeding the day of strife, but never did I feel } done more tur the real houor and advantage of ; | Catholics and Lrishmen, here and elsewhere, than | would bring maledietion and ery shame upon bin any other I know of since the days of the immortal | ag the author of their unparalleled misfortunes. / this country, which stamps him for all time to! nor the real danger understood by many at the deepest interest since he first touched the soil of) alities would shout traitor ! and the blood, the Canada, ] unhesitatingly say that he has earned | whitened bones, and the devastated homesteads for himself a loftier publie character, and has} of Jrishmen, and the wailing and tears of Trish women and orphans in this now happy land, O'Connell. —During the dark period of his brief | The great majority who are in a far better and tisunderstanding with Archbishop Hughes in| happier position here than elsewhere, might, no New York, that brightest and best of Ireland's | doubt, pursue the safer and more prudent course; sons in America declared to myself that “ McGee | put if Mr. MeGee—the Daniel O'’Connel of this had the biggest mind, and wag unquestionably the | country—had not fearlessly come forward at the cleverest man and the greatest orator that Ire- | critical mament with genuine Irishry and true land had sent forth in modern times.” To this 1) patriotism at heart, and electrified the country heartily subscribed then, when I had not even the | by his matchless eloquence ; who is the man now advantage of a personal acquaintance; and now, | living that could have foretold the consequences at this critical moment, I do it the more earnestly, | por Irishmen, and, above all, for Irish Catholics with the unmistakeable retrospect before me of jn British America? Like the unseen watch, it his brilliant and almost fanitless public career in might not have been heeded at the moment, come, and beyond all competition, as our best an representative Irishman. If I were asked to | Whom above all others | would wish to entrust the advocacy of Ireland's cause, | should say, without & mowent’s hesitancy, that thatman was Thomas D’Arey McGee, the ex-Minister of Canada. To his intellectual supremacy I would add one present day; but if that match had been once ignited, and that D’Arey McGee had not been on the watch-towers when all others were asleep, I as an Irish Catholie Archbishop, yielding to no man in my love for my fellow-countrymen and my co-religionists at home or abroad, I distinctly state that in my conviction, fur as Irishmen and iscopacy and Priesthood, who, unlike them, have not produced a single traitor ner informer for centuries, and who are now, as they ever were, infinitely more reliable in the hour of danger, as every Irishman well knows. The money of Brit- ain did not buy them for centuries, nor are they purchaseable to the present hour. They are now ready as ever tu sacrifice even life itself if their principles were assailed, or if any really solid ad- vantages were to be acquired thereby for poor Ireland. Notwithstanding all clamer to the con- trary, the masses of the population im that country, and her whole priesthood, yield to no class of men in their undying love for tatherland, and are, in the religious as in in the patriotic view, still sound to the core. As a people, still clinging with un- wavering tenacity to their religion, country, and institutions, they present to the eye of the un- biassed observer the proudest national spectacle ou earth. Stall in extent of territory, aud still amaller in her resources and in the number of ber population, Ireland, amid the storms of ages, and after seven hundred years of subjection to an- ether land, still holds her own, and exhibits a national and distinctive vitality at the present day, not certainly surpassed by any of the larger and more favored countries of Europe. the sickening sensation, the giddy, fainting feel ing, that came over me when I saw our dead, our dying, and our wounded after this Indian fight. A handful of men, to be sure, but wite wounds enough upon them to have slain a bat- talion, if evenly distributed. The* was stripped naked, and five arrowe driven threegh hun, while his skull was litterally smashed te atoms. Another wan was shot with four bullets and three arrows; his scalp was torn off, and bis brains knocked out. Another was riddled with balls and arrows, but they did nut succeed in getting hix scalp, though like the other two, be was stripped naked; while avother was shot through the bedy with an arrow, and his left urm was hacked to pieces parrying the Indies lances. He was a Scotchman, a brave fellow, and breathed out his life in the arme of bis com- rades. A Sergeaut lay dead beside bis horse, and as the fearful picture met my gage, I felt like fainting. Horse and rider were stri bare of trappings and clothes, while around them the wounded horses, and the trampled ground showed the desperation of the at that point. A portion of the Sergeant's y near him, but the greater part was #f other quality, which is the crowning of all in a public man, and that is, a bigh-souled patriotism, Catholics in this country are concerned, it would have infallibly ended in nothing short of a dis- Through his head a rifie ball , ands in this land Gh.our afegtion, we oujey many blow from a tomahawk laid the rai open above which, amid the rubbish of popular clap-traps, : , , astrous conflagration.

For my own part, I see no such phantoms, were conjured up; tens of thousands } man in British America, nor do I know at present swore they would do the deed, and they did it not, | the individual of whom such hopes can be reason- cord among the Irish themselves has been at all ages the greatest radical cause of our national misfortunes. And oh, it were well if this seath- ing malediciton of Cain bad not followed us to this side of the Atlantic. There is probably not a state nor a Province, nor a large city, at either side of the British American line, where the de- mon of Lrish feuds is not visibly at work. People of other nationalities have their fights and per- sonal disagreements, but when the enemy or stranger approaches, like skirmishers in a well- drilled army, they instinctively quit their iwola- tion and fall back fortuwith on the main body, ever presenting an wobroken frout aod a serried phalanx to the foe. Would, I say, that in this country of bright hopes we could get rid of this one great national drawback, and imitate at an humble distance the Envglish, the Freneb, the Scotch and the Americans, in agreeing to differ on minor points, but to be ever blended together as one man in essentials; and then we would make our mark in thie country, and in its legis- lature, and would intellectually, socially, and tically, yield to uo others in the land, At the inauguratioa of the New Domiuion, the time has come fer shaking off in earnest this degrading “ badge of our tribe.””— Let us no longer listen to the voice of blinding passion, but act in public and private affairs as thioking and reasoning human beings, vindicating our own views as best we can, and making all charitable allowances for others. Let us have honorable ambition; yes! but let us be muderate and mvod- est in our pretensions; let us never be foremost nor in each other's way where public position and the loaves and fishes are concerned. Let us never be guilty of the unpardunable criune of splitting up for personal ends our own people, who are but one-seventh in number and not one-fifteenth, per- haps, in influence, of the whole population, and who through their own fault solely, are well nigh powerless as they can be. Let us hear no more ot Irish faction fights and degrading feuds where the once brave, strong heart, and the arm had sent terror into the ranks of the red fiends was bared of its muscle, es if they wished to pry into the secret of his prowess.

The circumstances are briefly these: One of the most exem of our Roman Catholic Clergymen, while visiting a disreputable portion of our city in the dis- charge of his duty, met two young females, one of whom he recognized as a person he had visited in the hospital, she at the time sick of fever. He addressed her in words admonition, telling her that she was perilling her salvation, &c., when the cocandl Caan poli- [44 Protestant) interfered with him, and sought to draw her companion away. He said to the latter, he had nothing to say to her, inasmuch as she belonged to another persuasion, and desired her to go on. She refused, aceompany- ing her refusal with sueh intolerable abuse, that the Rev. Gentleman slapped ber on the cheek. She stocped to pick up a stene, when he put his cane across her back four times. A police summons was the result, and the Rev. Gentleman was fined $6 for his over zeal in the service of the Almighty. It is felt that the verdiet is an outrageous one. A pominal fine should have been inflicted, as panishing him for violation of the law in slapping the prostitute; but not only was he fi but also admonished by the magistrate—a man 88 years of age, (clearly too old to fill so important an office,) and father of the present Premier of Newfoundland. The house of the prostitute and fer the very obvious reason that Mr. McGee and my bumble self, and all the Bishops and Priests in lreland and America, and every in- telligent aud respectable man, clearly foresaw and announced before-hand,—and the reason is, that it wae simply impossible. The very first elements of suecees were not taken inte account in the programme. There was not a distant approach to equality im the number aud resources of the two parties that were to do battle. There was first but sheer madness in the plan, and then there was no blend- ing of sentiment—no unity of action among the ably entertained. The records of his long and public services in Canada, and the prestige of his name, have not only raised him up to an eminence not accessible to others, but they have ee- cured for Irishmen and Catholics in this country a position which, without him, én my conviction, they could never have obtain- ed. About the cause that led to his with- drawal from the New Government, I know nothing ; but if Mr. McGee, or one like him, bas not made his mark, and that his influence were not felt and acknowledged from end to end of the land, the Irish Catholic element, I fear, might not have been required in the formation of the new Ministry, and seven haudred thousand helots would be practically unrepresented in the Executive at Ottawa, as millions of the same creed and caste now | ‘ ane dich on | quillions—no genius to eall it forth, and no leaders a a of undoubted character aud ability (without whieh Salt, our, | ho Cause ever yet succeeded,) to guideaud develo Barrels Bread ive it f ae : , — |it, aud give it force and efficacy for the mighty | Pogies, Beans, jobject in view.

Instead of building up a | solid foundation, aud fostering a national spirit, }and grouping men together as O'Connell did, {thereby strengthening their own hands, they | kicked their only platforins from under, and sapped the basis itself. They began by attacking the stronghold of the sanctuary, and the grey- haired and unflinching champious of a faith aud (patriotism in Ireland, which England herselt {sought in vain te uproot; and they tried to tear | to pieees a liberty charter from God, bequeathed ito them in spite of centuries of persecution by | nobler and tere patriotic sires, They began by seperating the flock from the pastor, and splitting up the people—their only lelement of power. They detached all that was lenlightened, and patriotic, aud noble, in the \land. They cooled their friends, and encouraged rather than scared their evemies. They brought poverty, aud gaunt famine, and terror, and | unisery ot every kind ov the country, and drench led its soil with Irish Catholic blood. They filled ithe prisons of Britain and Canada with hundreds ot Irish vietiins—some of the truest children of ber seil—whose chains, and heart writhings, and wuledictions, at this moment cry vengeance ‘agains’ these whe made their howes a heil in /this world, and cousigued them during the re- | mainder ef their lives to a fale far more horrible than death. They have, in the language of the | distinguished Cardinal Archbishop of Dublin, brought wailing, aud tears, and bitter anguish to hundreds of ounce happy homes, aud turned out vast numbers of widows and orphans as beggars jon a merciless world. And is there no one, I willask, to be responsible before God and man | fur these heartrending disasters? Is there no | 'man with courage and honesty enough to bring ‘them before the bar of outraged public opinion, and to arraign, in the face Of any amount of ecm aud maudlin sentimentality, the guilty | perpetrators of the foulest crimes that have ever been committed against Irelaud and her nation- ality, and her houor, and the dearest and most vital interests of ber people? It is the leaders, but not their true-hearted though frenzied fol- lowers, who are to blame. Where are these leaders at the present hour? Have they really proved their patriotisa: waen the crisis came? Have they shared the toil, and heat, and labor, and danger ot the day of struggle, with their comrades in arms? Have they been struck down with them by the bullets of the same foe, aud du they new sleep calmly like Maximilian ia |are in Washington, where no McGee—no Irish Catholic—has ever yet thundered in | their legislative hails. For this distinguished | service, I, as one deeply interested in every- ‘thing Catholic and Irish, take this public joceasion of gratefully recognizing the fact. (l deeply regret, for reasons which I, as a stranger to Canadian politics cannot compre- |hend, that Mr. McGee himself is not in the | Ministry. But in his withdrawal from so | high @ position, and in the fast that the Gov- jernment deemed it expedien: to have him /respectibility, and of the same origin and creed, I see the evideence of the improved | position whieh the Irish Catholic body holds in the public opinon of the country, and | admire the magnanimity of the man who now retires from the seat of honor with a grace and o sell-denial which make it the crowning act of hie whole public lite. | It was Napoleon, I believe, who invariably lasked, when hearing of a great man, W hat | did he do? It was not his genius, learning, or patriotisin he cared for; nor what he said, nor what grand speeches, or promises or professions he made. No! It was invari- ably what he did. That was the question, his wind. It is not the power that slumbers, bus it is the power brought into action and tested by results—it is indomitable will and holy ambition, and energy and industry, and bigh sense of honor and honesty, and the spirit of sacrifice and a big heart, that makes the man of great intellectual power tral great in all the width of that expression. If the life of Mr. McGee were not one of sleep- less industry, and if, with all his faults, be had not ardently loved ireland, aud laboured for ber (as few ever did) from earliest youth — if he had not energy and honesty enough to the answer to which sulved every problem in small unfinished house was overturned, and in make great sacrifices whenever her interests required them, like thousands of little-gifted | and half-witted and self-belauded patrivts of mushroom growth, with which our country swarms, le would have hummed away bis petty life like the drone—he would shine but | as the ephemeral lightning that @ashes but to disappear, and leave no streak bebind. By the mere tricks and claptraps ef stump oratury, he would have risen up in the es- teem and enthusiasm of the unthinking and the vulgar, but to hopelessly sink back te the native obscurity from which he sprung. Moreover, patriotism is often bat the hypo- critical cloak of the trader in mere human passion, who, leech-like, but delights to fatten on the diseased blood of his victims. With ** liberty and people's rights’’ inscribed on their banner, and the ever-hackneyed shib- boleth of‘ down with the traiter on their the stranger is sure to come in (as always happens) and gobble up what of right belongstous. Before committing ourselves to an suternecine war against brothers, let us in all cases of dispute leave the arbitrament of our preiensious to the decision of the majority called together for this purpose be- forehand, and bow down to the bebests of the many, rather than sacrifice all to self and to th ° . surdid impulses of petty passions; and an rg Court has resigned, having sacceeded to deed, we will be in a more favored position in | S°metbing like £6,000 a year ago, and having, this country than [rishwen ever attained else | taken a residence in Merrion Squace, Dublin,. where.
