DAVITT AND DYNAMITE.

Michael Davitt, in a letter to a Glasgow correspondent, says:—"What. Irishmen require more than anything else at present is sound political education, which will temper patriotic enthusiasm with patience, and teach < that patient, plodding perseverance on a slow but winning line of action 4s the only sure road to victory in a just and moral. cause. Impatience of results,.and passion's mastery over judgment and discretion, are our weak points politically; and in the present state of the national movement we are made tq fjee. t)|e disastrous results tl]at follow frqtu a recklessness that is honj of political pqiajjce working upqn our' Celtic impulse. I prefer, if ne'ees; sary, twenty years of slqw wqrk, wjjicl} will tel| bjt by bit for Ireland, to tlje indulgence of that feeling which is sung about by the poet when he. ' Revenge upon a tyrant is sweetest of all'—a feeling like that of most pleasures, whjoli. |s not only transitory as they are, but which leaves ft terrible penalty for Ireland to pav,- a power that can play at revenge also. AH the labors of the past are in danger of being so much wasted energy, because a few political idiots have their ravings about revenge reported in the hess of America and England. Of all the insane projects ever condemned by common sense as plans certain to defeat a just and moral cause, the dynamite policy is the most idiotic and criminal."
