THE UNITED IRISHMAN.

The prospectus of a new weekly journal, entitled the United Irt&lanan. has let n published. It is to be edited by Messrs. Mitchell and Devin Reilly, who seeded from the Nation, and " other competent contributors." The following exaact will give a notion of' its political design : — " • Our independence must be LaJ at all hazards. If the men of property will not support us they must full: we can suppoit ouselves by the aid of that numerous and respectable cl.»ss of the c immunity, the men of no proparty.'" — Theobald Wolfe Tone. "The proprictots of the United Lishman believe that the world is weary of Old Ireland, and al&o of Young Ireland — That the day ioi both these noisy factions is past aud gone— that Old and Young lieland alike have grown superunuuted and obsolete toj. e hp . •• They believe that Ireland really and tru'y wants to be freed from Enghbh dominion. "They know not how many nor how few will listui to theirj voice. 'Ihcy have no | arty prepired to liailoo at their backs; and have no trust have in the power <>t truth and the immortal biauty of treedom. He that hath eais to hear let him bear. "The principles on which the United Irishman will be conducted aie shortly ihess:— " 1. That the liisli people have a just and u indefeasible right to this island, and to all the mou\ and material wealth and icsotirces thereof, to possess and govern the same for our own use, maintenance, comfort, and honour, as a dist net sovereign staie. " 2. That it is in their power, as it is also their manifest duiy, to muke good and ixeixisc that right. •' 3. That the life of one peasant is as precious at the lite of one nobleman or gm leraan. "4. Tl.at the^property of the tanners and labourers of lieland is as sacitd ab the property of all the noble* men and gentlemen in Ireland, and is aKo imnuasurably more valuable. "5. That the custom called tenant right, which prevails partially in the north of Ireland, is a just and salutary custom both for north audtouthj and u ought; t-> be extended and secured in Ulster, and adopted and enforced, by common consent, in thi father thiee piovmces of the island. ♦'6. Thnt eveiy man ia Ireland who shall hereafter pay taxeb for the bU| port of the sate, shall have a just right to an equal voice with every m<m in the govoi lament of that state, and the outlay of those mxtb. "7. That no I i*hraan at present has any ' i^al' r.ght-, or cluitn io the protection of any law ; »»d thai a.l legal and constitutional agitation' iv Ireland is a. delusion. " 10 That no good thing can come from the En?,t lish par.iaoaen', or ihe Eigiish goverumem."
