Mr. MCDOUGALL. Mr. President, it is a nice thing to use elegant words; it is convenient to use convenient words; it is popular to use popular words. All thesethings have been accomlished by the gentleman who has just taken is seat. Outsideof the Gentfrom Wisconsin and his comanions, Ireland has long been understood. I venture to say that I know more of Ireland than he does. It is difficult for some to comprehend the compli cate ideas of a nation. the people of Ireland are today a nation; they were a nation ages before the Government of England was establilshed on its present basis. They were the 1st people who established an organized civilization in what is now known as the empire of GreatBritain and Ireland. This fact is well known to all conversant with histo. Ignorant people deny it, and ignorant Irisrh men sometimes deny it themselves. but it is a fact nevertheless. That there is a discord between the people of GreatBritain and those of Ireland is a act that all careful observers have noticed; a discord that must be continued; that can only be determined by the establishment of the right; by the sovereignty of Ireland as an independent Government, or by her acknowledgment by England as an independent kingdom, under artia subjection, perhaps, to a common rule. Her people cannot submit to the system under which tlgcy have been governed; and therefore they have been driven into for and distant lands; to our own land if you please. There is no man who has read the tales of their ancient history, who has read the stories of their former fame, who has not wept as he has one over the tale of savage tyranny impose on them by Saxon and by Dane' from across the sea. ould to God that they might even now, with what assistance they could procure, trium h and establish the Green Isle again as a little empire by itself, independent of GreatBritain. I am no Irishman; if I go to my antecedents I am a Scotchman; but the outrages that have been committed upon Ireland by England are beyond all the outrages that have been perpetrated in modern or middle ages, beginning 700 years ago and running down to the time of the Union which was secured by England by the unsparing use of Enlish gold. SoG‘Inlish gold is making this fight against Ireland now. It is easier for England to give a 100,000 pounds ($500,000) to save a fight, and to distribute another 100,000 pounds among those who help her to achieve a bloodless victory. This is the wa she wins her battles. Ivwish that Ireland, the beautiful land of Hesperides of the old song, the great, the beau tiful island of the western seas, might redeem herself into an independency; and I am for seeing it done, audit will have my full assistance whenever any reasonable proposition shall be made. I will vote for this resolution to give the building contemplated for the discussions of Irishmen. There is more eloquence in an Irish man than there is in an Englishman, and more than there is in a Yankee anyhow, and more than you will find anywhere about unless you go to Kentucky, and perhaps the Philadelphia convention will bring the Kentuckians out. [Langhten] This resolution only involves a question of sentiment, but I say let the Feniaus have a full show and have a chance here to say what they think.
