What a dork and damning blot upou th* escutcheon of that blustering, M oe to d, and self-sufficient people, are the page* off Irish history. Confiscation of property, ba ni sh men t, imprisonment and death, are some off the penalties which Irishmen have paid, for their unconquer able love of liberty, and their in deairs to set their beloved Erin A* galling yoke of British tyranny, i And iblo from while England has inflicted those outrages upon Ireland, «he has assumed to be the most «lightened, magnanimous and Chris tian nation on the fooe of tho sarth! She haa boaated that no slave oould breathe the air or tread the »oil off England, without being free. She has sent out her mission aries to the four quarters off the globe, and her benevolent bosom has overflowed with th* milk of human kindness towards the heathen. She has uplifted her pious hands ia holy horror over the system of Amer ican slavery, and seat hither her inter meddling emiaaarim to enlighten thia be nighted fond in relation to its duties to ward tha children of Africa.

But it will accomplish nothing. How they expect to overthrow th* power of England—to cope with her logions upon the land and upon the sea, dura not appear. They may offer up, as thay have already done, victim after vic tim, to British power sod authority ; hut the sacrifice is without avail. Unaided by nation betid« their own, their UMeaayls will all be fruitless. But, should was occur between England and some for midabfe mar »time power, such as the Uni ted States, or France, Austria, or Prussia; «test would the golden opportunity be pre seu t e d to unhappy Erin, to strike for lib erty.

So the matter went on till Thursday last, when it culminated in another defeat! At the meeting of the Reconstruction Com mittee, that morning, that old political malignant, Thaddeus Steven*, submitted a resolution to the effect that it appeared from the late correspondence between the President and Gen. Grant that the Presi dent had violated or sought to violate the provisions of the Tenure of Office Rill, and that, consequently, he is guilty ef high crimes and misdemeanors, for which he ought to he impeached. This resolution, we are told, was discussed with much spi rit, but was finally laid on tha table by the following vote: Yeas,—Bingham, Beaman, Paine, Bulburd, Republicans ; Brooks and Beck, Democrat*. Nays— Stevens, Farnsworth, and Boutwell, The vote created considerable excitement, and Mr. Stevens invited Messrs. Bontwell and Farnsworth to moet with him in order to take other steps on the subject. But no thing will come of it, say the friends of the President. So ends the second at tempt at impeachment. telegram TU« Grant and Johnson labruflIo. A spicy correspondence between Gener al Grant and the President was read in the House of Representatives on tho 4th inst. The correspondence is in relation to the surrender by Gen. Grant of the War De partment to Mr. Stanton without first con sulting With the President as he had prom ised to do. A point of veracity is. raised between them, and sharp language ia free ly UBed by both. The President's state ment is fully endorsed by five members of tha Cabinet, while Grant has to depend upon his own ipte dixit. The duplicity of Gen. Grant is so thoroughly established by this correspondence that his character for candor and foiriibsa must suffer there by.

The correspondence between the Pres ident and General Orant in regard to the G rant-8 tanton affair seems to have oome to a close in theadditional letters published yesterday in reference to the promise whioh the President holds General Grant had mode in the conversation between them to retain the wsi -offieo, and abide any legal proceedings that might follow the noneoneurrence by the SeDate In Mr. Stan ton's suspension, or else to .resign in time for the President to antieipate such action. The President replie* to the various points mad« in General Grant's letter of the Sd instant, and gives the statements of five members of the Cabinet in regard to the conversation at the interview between tlicm on the 14th ult., bat General Grant, in answering, confines himself to that portion of the President's communication wherein he is charged with insubordination. This reply of General Grant, received by the President after he had transmitted to Con nu his own letter with tho accompanying document', was at one* sent by tho Pres ident In Sn additional meuage to Congress, evincing thereby, In the readiness to lay both sides before Congross, an honorable contrast to the haste exhibited in the House to get Grant's letter of the 8d be fore the country without awaiting the coptiou of the President's answer. It Is not to bo regretted that this pain ful conflict, involving an apparent ques tion of veracity between the most promi nent official dignitaries of the country, and forced npon the parties to it by sinister partisan ifluences, has been brought conclusion. The rejoinder which the Pres ident has felt constrained to make to Gen eral Grant's letter of the 8d is a most thorough and masterly analysis of the po sitions of Grant, while the President's version of the interview between bimself and General Grant is generally siietained by the General's late associates in ths cab inet. In conceding the weight and dignity of the President's letter, we would not suppose, however, that General Grant intentionally deoUfoed the President, and we are disposed to ascribe those state ment« of his which oeem to waftsttt that injurious conclusion to indistinctness of understanding and doubt and uncertainty of his own position. General Grant, though having perhaps a very clear and accurate conception of military matters, seems, like moet military men, to be out of hie clement and flounders about in a very unintelli gible way, when he get« into the political arena.

From the Xeu, York World, Thunday. The speculation whioh has prevailed for the last two days as to what Congress would do in consequence of the defeat of the negro constitution in Alabama, no Uingor wanders in a wilderness of doubt. Senator Sherman introduced yesterday the following preamble and bill : Wherein, Th« peopU of th* slat« of Alabama have, ia itrict compliance with the fifth section of the act of March 9, 1861, entitled "An act to pro vide for the more effieient government of the rebel Slate»," formed a constitution in conformity with the Constitution of tho United State», framed by constitutional delegate* elected in oompliance with said act; And ickereei, »aid constitution ha» I teen ratified by a majority of qualified persons voting on the <iu»*tion of ratification required by »aid tWcfvre, Be it molded, That the State of Alabama ia to representation in Congraaft, and Semi and Representative» shall be admitted therefrom their taking the oath prescribed by law. We suppote that this, or something equiv alent to this, will be passed by both Houses over the voto of the President. We have never doubted that Congross would perpetrate any outrage which they doomed neuossary to auoccss ; and after their gross and wilful violations of the Constitu tion there was no reason to expect that they woud be bound by their own Reconstruc tion sots. By th constitutions fall to tiro ground unless « majority of th* registered voters partici pate in tha elections in which they submitted for ratification. Congress there by entrapped the white eitizens of those States into supposing that they oould de feat the negro constitutions by staying sway from the polls. r By thi» manœuvre Congru*« prevented the refection of the Alabama constitution by s direct vote, and they now propose to treat it preoiseiy a* if all the cititens had tuende« th* polls and voted for ratifica tion. Every absentee virtually voted a gainst the constitution ; and when a ma jority of the eititens have in this manner (a manner authorized by Congress) repu diated «he abomination, it is to be treated precisely ss if they had all voted in its fa vor ! It is not easy to conceive a greater oatrage npon foir dealing and good If the citizen* ef Alabama had been told that » majority of the actual voters would secure it« adoption, the same majority that staid away oould have attended the polls and voted it down. The reasons why the Republicans will paw Sherman's bill one similar, are not difficult to discover. By the refusal of the people to ratify, the whole business off reconstruction in that State foils through, aud things revert to the same state in which they stood before the reconstruct io» acts were passed." act; en titled 060 net«, tho now State H an n faith. , or iüifotlift -■ ufo fjfeito fe w Items tf Isus.

Now this injury to the South naturally communicates itself to the North.

The load folia, therefore upon the working people of the North. In the end they aro obliged to make up for tha loss in the South by reason of bad politi cal policy.
