IRISH FEELING TOWARDS ENGLAND.
—- Says the ‘Pall Mall Budget’;—lf anybody wonders why the Irish should not love England, let him look at the comic papers just uow. Hatred and contempt glisten in every line of these fcaricatures of the national typo. It may be said that such thing* as these are trifles, and that Irishmen do not mind. It may be so, for anything that we know; but, if it is, then the Irish are more callous than any other people ever were before. As a matter of fact, it is pretty certain that they do mind, and that these ferocious satires, showered by a strong, dominant people on a very weak one, produce an angrier and a deeper resentment than would come of ever so many harsh laws. Nobody woyld be so stung as an Englishman by odious caricatures like those which he relishes without scruple when directed against . Irishman. Yet we profess to be amazed at Irish ingratitude and antipathy towards us.
