Mr. Take, in an. interesting and very important letter to
the .Standaird of Monday, shows how utterly false is the statement -that the Irish cottiers of Galway and Mayo show the utmost reluctance to leave Ireland, and that when they have been assisted to do so, they are landed lathe eastern cities of the United States "totally unprovided for." On the contrary, Mr. Take shows that from a- union containing 25,000 souls, he could have sent away nearly five thousand who would have been most grateful to go, and that he did actually send away 1,150 persons, who implored blessings on those who helped them to emigrate, and many of whom have since written back of the extreme care and kindness with which they were treated on their arrival in the United States. As Mr. Take most justly says :—" One of the grievous evils which afflict Ireland is the absence of truthful- ness in reference to any public acts, or the conduct and feelings of the people."
