Colonies. They are the few among
the many.
They cannot long main-
tain their distinctive character; they
become gradually absorbed, and are
soon incorporated with the mass of
the people. They adopt the dress,
the habits, and the feelings of the
Americans. Their clergy taught them
to disregard a Protestant sovereign;
the Americans, in their turn, teach
them to disregard their priests; one
half of their lives is spent in learning
what is wrong, and the other in un-
learning it. Renunciation is soon fol-
lowed by recantation, and the Queen
and the Pope both lose their subjects.
By this process, the emigrants are
protected from themselves and their
own violence; they individually ob-
tain that freedom which, collectively,
they never allowed to each other. A
Roman Catholic who becomes a Pro-
testant in Ireland is considered as a
man who deserts his colours, and he
is pursued and punished by the whole
community. In America he is neither
hailed as a convert by one side, nor
insulted as a pervert by the other.
The event is regarded by the former
with unconcern, and by the latter as
an occurrence rather to be regretted
than resented. Public opinion tole-
rates and protects every sect, but has
no sympathy with any. Franklin
thought them all right, and Jefferson
pronounced them all wrong; the na-
tural result is general indifference.
Religion is left to shift for itself, the
supply is regulated by the demand,
and competition has lowered its value
by adopting an inferior material, and
coarse workmanship. Fashion invents
new patterns, and each succeeding
season announces some attractive
novelty. The original emigrant re-
tains with some difficulty the creed
he received from his priest; his faith
is less lively, but still he is a believer.
It is different with his descendants,
who often exercise their own judge-
ment, and choose for themselves. But,
though he adheres to his church, his
habits are altered and improved, he
becomes industrious, and his condition
is ameliorated. His kind-hearted and
affectionate feelings are not merely
preserved, but enhanced by distance.
He works hard to save, and he saves
to import his relatives to the com-
fortable home he has provided for
them in the West. The Irish poor are
rich in love-in lov. for their parents,

their children, their friends, and their
countrymen. No one is so destitute,
but that he will give of his last loaf
and divide his last sixpence with one
poorer or more destitute than he is,
and, when all is gone, he mingles
benedictions on others with prayers
for himself. Poor Pat! Your virtues
are all your own, while your faults
are engrafted upon you by others.
Your impulses are good, but your
training has been vicious. Providence
has bestowed upon you a beautiful and
fertile country, and a climate the most
agreeable and salubrious in the world.
You are in possession of the same
civil and religious liberty as the Eng-
lish, and the union of the two coun-
tries ensures to you any amount of
capital that may be required to de-
velop the resources of Ireland. Re-
ceive with cordiality those who are
willing to assist you, as well because
it is their duty, as because it is their
interest to do so. You yourselves
oppose the only obstacles to your own
prosperity.

While preparing for my departure
to England, I witnessed one of those
sad scenes that, alas, are of constant
occurrence in Ireland-an assemblage
of emigrants embarking on board a
steamer, to be conveyed to the clipper
ship, "Cariboo," bound to Quebec. It
was a touching spectacle, old and
young were taking leave of their re-
latives and friends to seek their for-
tunes in a distant land; and the mu-
tual grief of the parties, as they bade
each other a long and final farewell,
was most heart-rending-entreaties
on the one hand, to be remembered
in the prayers of those who were
about to embark, and earnest vows
on their part never to forget them,
and to provide funds as soon as pos-
sible to enable them to reach their
new home-were exchanged amid
tears, embraces and blessings. Again
and again they renewed their adieux,
and at last were only separated by
the entreaties of the bystanders, and
the stern voice of command from the
steamer. Long after the ship got
under weigh, hats and handkerchiefs
were waved by the passengers and
their bereaved friends on shore, until
they faded from the view of each
other in the distance. Both the emi-
grants and their attendants appeared
to have come from the_wilds of the
west coast of Ireland. They were an
