+ Bot wby epeok of a foreigo foe, when we have 60 meny Irieb- : .
men foee of their country ? .
The ‘worst of theae are your Whig Irishmen—barovets aad
brothers of baronete slaving for a chance of.a peerage-—barris-
ters, like toads in their boles, keeping themeelves sovg and qui-
el, expeciing that polisical recreante will be in favour again—
country genilemen won over by getting admission’ to the out- . i
skirts of society ia London, and being condescendingly talked to” :
by Whig leaders at Brookes’. These ase the true foes to their : yt
country, aad ought 60 to be eet down and marked for ever by the
Irish people.
VOD.—Conanecied with ibis subject there ore several lithe
ayers that may’ be jotted down as materials for thoy,
—Toat, as every one knows, @ great quantity e “food is .
exported frum Ireland, while the people starve. ‘
Second~That, ia 1799, there was at the great market of :
Ballinastoe more sheep than in 1843 (viz., 77,900 to 62,700), - * :
god that we did not export from all Ireland more than 800 bead in
of sheep altogether, the rest being eaten at home—whereas, ia, . h
1843, we exported very considerably more than 100,000 bead! a Is
while our people starved at home ,
Tnied—Toet we bad more cottle for sale in1799 than in 1843 .
(see the Ballinasloe liste for those years;) that we covsumed 8 ,
proportion weot, in 1799, in the more valuable form of provis-". +
tons {more valuable as employing more labour, &e., than the
mere raising of caitle for export alive) than there bas gone ia’
the last year, for which we have aa account siace. the Uoioo,
viz., the year 1633.° Por instance ;— :
Years. | Export of Catile. | do. of Swine, cE of Bectand P's.
1799 |< 14.000" 4} 4000 | 278,000 barrels.
1833 [ -~ $8000 {76,000 | 140,000 barrels.” ‘
As the increase of the live exportis too great to be explained oe
by by the decrease ia the quantity of provisions exported, while "oe
the whole number of cattlo~was tather less than in 1799 (see © ~
« Ballinasloe™), ii follows that the quantity eaten at home most
ave become less, notwithstanding thst the» population bad = _
more tban doubled! —a pretty decisive proof of poverty since .

expenses in land travelliog. ’
‘Fifth—England bas opened her ports and will opeo them suit:
more to foreign cattle, and provisions, and thus etiil more reduce -
the profits of the lrieh fuod exporter. ©As to coro, our corn-mer- a
chaats will severely feel ere luog the effects of Peel's side-wind .

Sixth—Those of our countrymen who sre under the silly fer .

As Mr. O'Connell says: * Joba Ball will” be quite ay buogry |
Sevemh—Tnis couarry is capable of producing ten-foli the ,
quantity of food that it does. Cultivation has been siveh injured © *
by the certainty which tenants bave, that if they improve their .
grouad, the landlord will the the whole additional value, by . if
demanding en incseased rack-rent, or turning out if a stranger .
offer a higher avction-price fur their holding than they cao, - .
Fighth—The green- crop system of husbandry has three ad- Ty
vanteges to recommend it tous. | Firs’, it is better evited toour Mas
moist aad cloudy climate thaa wheat, or other crops requiring
much wun; second, where preciised wish @ judicious rotation, at
