Dublin, [Ireland]
Edition Notes
Holograph, signed.
Richard Allen says that Dublin seems to be in a profound calm; O'Connell is somewhere, but not yet acting vigorously. "Repeal" is very dear to the people's heart, but Allen thinks that "much of what they expect of it is perfectly Eutopian [sic]." Some counties present a serious exception to the general calm; he gives instances of trouble. He reports on teetotalism in Ireland; "there are whole districts in which there is scacely a pledge breaker known." He mentions the apathy of the middle and upper classes. The cause of peace is promoted little in Ireland, except by Allen's "little knot," which the Evening Mail, a Tory paper styled "Everythingarians." Richard Allen refers to Nathaniel P. Rogers and laments: "Poor Rogers -- poor Rogers!"
