This picture is one which may be contemplated by
democrats with no little *wore; for with only 9 votes
to commence business upon, they have in . four states,
changs4 a minority of 18 into a majority of 10, which
will do very well us times go.
_.2prestnAation. In England,
electors are us I to 24 of the population; in Ireland
‘s Ito 100. The Irish had been_ exasperated he the
Sponiswoode conspiracy, and by Lord Staaley's regis
tration bill, whi-lt the t, tries nunl iu turning the late
Government nut of office, saying that the subject would
not brook delay, though they had I two years to
office without doing anything! While a church es
tablishment is mainutined for one-tenflrOT the popula
tion, the Catholic clergy are not evea provided with
residences, and the miserable grant to Nrisenooth meet;
with insulting opposition. If he were a-Roman Catho
lic, he should not hesitate for one moment to become
a Repealer. They did not want ascendancy—they
wanted only equality. The principal question, lithe
Union were repealed, would be, o leaherit was (Aka
tile to have endowments for all churches, ur no endow
ment for any. The present Government, - When they
were out of power„promised they would take all these
subjects into their anximis consideration, and tuf-lose
an hour without reforming the ;daises Aida! cildiadt.
But twoyears have they been in (Alice without doing if.
rut h e r in favor of make. ing the clergy of all
I religious persuasions. Lonl Lyndhurst's declaration
of allezianca rankles in the minds of the people.—
They claimed equal corporate reform with Enghind.
The tnagement of the poor law had been overhear
in; ;Ind of the commissioners, six were Enghali and
boar Irish. Govermnont call upon Parliament lid pass
au obsolete mans bill, with new enactments, protested
against by the majority of Irish members. What had

prop. , t;as rejectt dby the House. Fur Canada,
who Goverament guaranteed a lore] of r=

steam navigation. The course taken with respect td
national education ill Ireland, had been unproductive
of good, for it had disgusted the rrotestants °flit:4ond.
Sir Edward Sugden had crushed a propositiotrfar pro
viding n better legal education for the bar in Ireinad.—
A grant for a uat it uud niusetun in Ireland had been re
commended and rofused. There is DO compensation
in English appointments for the exclusive nature of
Irish appointments. of the cabinet, ten are Etagliab and
three are Scorch; and in the subordinate appeinunents
under the British Government, he calculated the Eng
lishmen and Scotchrnen to be as 491 to 10 Irialspien.
Sir Robert-Peel had missed the opponanity of
tiling Ireland without cuncedino. ' a principle. Of the
goat - lA*l4.a Lord de Grey's and Lord intentions.
IseAti not doubt, but, somehow, they had not the pow
er to give theta edict. Mr. O'Brien contrasted the
Government of Ireland in spite of the majmity, with
that of Canada by the snajority. To other causes of
discontent must be added . that of general distress, and
the influences which tend to the consolidati on °H arms.
Ile contended that the cry fur repeal, though he did
not concur in its policy, was not treasonable; it was
merely the expression of despair of obtaining, good gov
ernment. Ministers had g iven their ultimatum; they
had declared that they woud force forward their arms
bill, but that conciliation had gone to its full extent; and
Sir Robert Peel had said that he would go to war with
Ireland rather than concede the repeal of the Union.
But it might be forced by Other means than war,--as by
non-consumptioa of $10,000,000 of English manufac
tures. And where would he find tite arras to militate
against a whole nation? There were 40,000
Irishme n
in the British army, just as patriotic as the peasants
from which they had aprtmg. The chances of Eng
land's failure were as great as the chances of success;
raid what was her success?—widespread and universal
desolation. What her failure?—the glory of England
departed forever.. Ireland was the right arm of strength; but in her present condition she was a
source of weakness, and if the French Minister march
ed any:army across the Pyrenees, it would be because
'the English Government could not safely take away
their troops fmm Ireland. The way to defeat the ma-
I chinations of England's enemies was to redress the
grievances of Ireland.
