. . There has come no John Mitchell "COMPOUND VENGEANCE" 135 or Thomas Davis to fill people's souls with the magic fire of patriotism. The memories of the present movement leave no such ennobling sentiments behind ; its battlefields are public meetings, its arsenals are stocked full of protests and resolutions, its victories are either the defeat of an English party or the holding of a midnight meeting to spite the ?2nglish enemy, and its oriflamme the public burning of a proclamation, issued b...y the foe. Nay, more, it claims as victories the arrests of prominent agitators, and teaches that every man imprisoned is more dangerous in his cell than when free. To carry this doctrine out to its logical con- clusion, if England arrests every Irishman possible, and packs her gaols with them, it will be a crowning victory to the cause. The agitators' organ. United Ireland^ tells us that if its proprietor is injured by the three months' sentence lately passed on him (1S87), the Tories may expect "compound vengeance," and as they denounce physical force and all its works and pomps, it must be supposed that this species of "compound vengeance" must mean increased vituperation and abuse.
