      HOT IRELAND IS GOVERNED . Alas ! poor country , Almost afraid to know itself . ' Whe n ros « es fall out , honest men come by their own . '; . Tho Orange mcisaacre at Dolly ' s Brae , and tho subsequent dismissal of Lord Roden and the Messrs . BEERS ) from the magistracy , has elicited a document , which discloses tho particulars of a most atrocious conspiracy againstthepcoploof Ireland . The conanirZ

      tors were the Government , and a small anti-Insli faction , called Orangemen , and the confessions of particulars is made by the latter because then- co-conspirators have cheated them out of their share of the results of their combined exertions . It is no unusual thinjj when robbers quarrel about the division of heir plunder for tho losing party to peach on their companion s in crime , and whatever may bo thought of the « m . provers , ' societ y accepts , and acts upon their evidence in self-protection . In this U g&Jtook upon the first Report of the Grand Lodge of the Orauge Society , detailing the nSia taons and relations befcyeon the GovetSent and the Orangemen last year .

      footsteps of the most tyrannical and infamous of their predecessors . The only difference we can perceive is , that they have not the same manliness—the same frank and unblushing audacity . They creep , and crawl , and lie , and have recourse to subterfuges , round-about devices , and clumsy tricks , which deceive nobody , and only add contempt to the disgust and indignation their conduct is naturally calculated to excite . So much for one party to this conspiracy . How stands the other ? "drcades ambo , " or , as Byron translates — "Blackguards both !"

      The Orangemen , both in and out of Parliament , always assume that they are the only loyal people in Ireland . We have often heard Colonel Verner in one house , and Lord Roden in the other , assume that , as a matter of course , and it is so repeated in this very Report . At all times , their boasts of loyalt y and attachment to the British crown and connexion , are ostentatiously paraded as the distinguishing and redeeming virtue of the faction . On the strength of this virtue , they traded in places and pensions , and grasped

      at tho exclusive monopoly of power . For this were they invested with supreme rule in Ireland , and supported in their infamous oppression of the subjugated millions of Roman Catholics , whom they trampled in the dust , and deprived of the commonest civil and political rights . Even thedreariest pages of Russian or Hungarian despotism , contain scarcely any blacker or more revolting examples of wanton bloodshed or rampant oppression , than the

      history of Ireland under Orange sway . At length their tyranny became so intolerableit threatened so utterly to destroy the whole nation , that the power to do mischief was wrested from them , much from the same feeling as prompts people to wre st a razor or a pistol from a madman . For aome years past , they have been obliged to " pave hell " with their " good intentions , " instead of making " hell upon earth" with them , as they used to do .

      But the tiger instinct , though held in check , was not extirpated . They were always on the watch to regain their lost ascendancy , and the position of the Government at the commencement of 1843 , seemed a favourable time to make an effort . Europe was shaken by the revolutionary earthquake which , at that time , shook and overthrew so many thrones . Chartism in England—Nationalism in Irelandmade our rulers uneasy , and their tenure of power insecure . Loyalists , such as the Orangemen profess to be , would have seized that

      opportunity for ottering their assistance , m > reservedly , to the existing authorities , because " the powers that be are of God . " But Orange loyalty is neither a chivalrous nor a pious loyalty . It is as selfish as it is sectarian . Its only objects are power' and pence for themselves , proscription , persecution , and oppression , for the religionists they hate . Hence they tookadvantageof Lord Clarendon ' s difficulties . They got up an address and resolutions of a hostile character , in order to add to his embarrassments , and force from" him that

      recognition of their ascendancy , which otherwise they might not have attained . We now see clearl y how to value the big , boaBtful speeches which were made in Parliament about that time , when " noble lords" and "hon , members" offered their lives and those of their tenantry , and . ostentatiousl y departed from their legislatorial to their feudal duties , promising to rall y their retainers , and fight for the Queen and Constitution . It was all a mere

      sham . The veriest piece of humbug . All the while they were playing the cards for one great object only . They wanted the control of the Government of Ireland back into their own h and A * L- They thought they had succeeded , but the Whigs cheated them as well as the Roman Catholics , whom they treated to so much "blarney . " The onl y result of all thisplotting and counter-plotting is , that the Whigs are still in office , and that Ireland is a by-word and a reproach among all nations .

      Ay ! and so it will continue until the people shall arise in their stren gth , and deprive the combiued conspirators of the power to oppress them . If there is any one thing in the world that could send the blush of shame to the brow of an Irishman , or make the Wood circle q er in Ws veins than another , it should be this Report . When he sees how an alien Government and a selfish faction have combined to promote their mutual interests at the expense of his country , and to perpetuate class misrule and sectarian domination on the rum and destitution of the great mass of his tollow-countrymen , surely it should rouse all to

      a sense ot tho necessity for a national , practical , and energetic effort to throw off a yoke so gallingand iodisgraceful . The petty bickering and jealousies which have divided the sons of the soil—the real people of Ireland—from each other , should be discarded ; men of all classes and creeds , and politics , should unite in one powerful phalanx , and demand that Ireland shall be permitted to take that rank among nations which its situation , its resources , and its population entitle it to . The Orange revelations have put a powerful weapon into the hands of the Nationalists . They show the rottenness and worthlessness of the machinery by which the country is governed—the dirtv

      tncKs and infamous devices by which the Go . vernment is upheld . Let the quarrel of the rogues , in this case , turn to the profit of honest men . Let us , in future , have Ireland governed by Irishmen , for the benefit of Ireland ! instead of being an arena for the display of the worst vices of a bad Government , and the worst passions of a blood-thirsty faction .

      manner . The whole Report betrays that the concoctors were afraid to deal vigorously with the materials at then * disposal ; but , despite the feebleness of the style , the softening down of facts—the insertion of blank lines , where names , ought . to have been given , it contains such an overwhelming exposure of low cunning , fraud , duplicity , and treachery , on the part of the Government and its employes , never before was given to the public .

      Let us briefly state the case . The Orangemen thought they had entered into such an alliance with the Government , offensive and defensive , in 1848 , that in 1849 they could exhibit all the outward and visible signs of having regained their former ascendancy over the Roman Catholic people of Ireland . The Special Act forbidding processions having lapsed , they celebrated the anniversary of the battle of Boyne Water , in the usual way , and with the usual results ~ a battle , and the slaughter of men , women , and children , opposed to them . They sat on the bench , and refused to grant

      any inquiry into the massacre they had been guilty of , under the ^ belief that , as in the olden times , the Government would abide by the compact between them . But public opinion was too strong to allow of this connivance in their crime . After a long delay —which showed how well disposed the Government was to let its Orange allies escape unquestioned and unpunished , the independent Press of this country forced them to remove from the magistracy some , at least , of the men , who , having first as Orangemen instigated the murders at Dolly's Brae , next exercised then- magisterial functions to screen the murderers , and refuse

      justice . The dismissal seems to have taken them by surprise . They could not believe that the Government , which had in 1848 entered into a compact with them , in pursuance of which they had been furnished with arms , to put down the Roman Catholics , when the Government dreaded their rising , would turn round and treat them thus scurvily , when in 1849 they had committed a few murders on their own account . They set up a cry of treachery , and the Government organs responded with a flat denial of their ever having been any compact at all between them and Lord Clarendon .

      To prove the existence of that compact is the object of the Report . Let us briefly recapitulate what , to our mind , it conclusively establishes : — Colonel Phaire wa , 3 commissioned by the Government to negotiate with the Orangemen Major Turner , the Lord-Lieutenant's Master of the Horse ; Mr . Corry Connellan , his Private Secretary ; Captain KENNEDY , tho Military Commandant of Dublin , and " other persons higJi in office , " also took part in these negotiations . The Government

      proposed to the Orangemen to become spies and detectives , and promised them , as an inducement , and as an evidence of its confidence in them , " that posts of great moment would be confided to their keeping . " The Orangemen , on the other hand , encouraged these advances on the part of the Government , but fearing that it was not in earnest , from the higgling and protracted manner in which the affair was managed by his agents , determined , on the 22 d of April , to put the Viceroy's sincerity to the test . They therefore intimated to him ,

      that on the evening of that day a resolution , condemnatory of his Government , would be adopted by the Grand Lodge of Dublin , unless stopped by a satisfactory movement on his part . The two points on which they all through took their stand , were , that they should be recognised as Orangemen , and be provided with arms by the Government . The Lord-Lieutenant having been furnished with a copy of the threatened resolution , did not arrest the parties who thus dictated terms to him , arid set themselves in defiance to his Government .

      On the contrary , a conference was fixed for five o ' clock in the afternoon , at the house of the '' Grand Secretary of Dublin ; " and in the residence of this acknowledged officer of an illegal confederation and secret society , there actually did assemble at that hour Lord ErraisKiixEN , the Deputy Grand Secretary for Ireland , the Grand Master of Dublin , and the Gba > s » Secretary for Dublin , on the part of the Orangemen ; and Major Turner and Colonel Phaire on the part of the Government ; The conspiracy began—as

      all conspiracies do—by an obligation to secrecy as to the " conversation" that might take place . The result was , that the Orange delegates gave Lord Clarendon ' s delegates their ultimatum , to be submitted to him for ratification and consent . This was , that they demanded , in proof of the sincerity of Government , a grant of arms , and that , as . an instalment , five hundred stand should be immediately grauted , or the means of purchasing them . The viceregal delegates retired , carrying with them these terms , and " about two hours "

      afterwards Colonel Phaire called on Lord Enniskillen with a letter from Captain Kennedy —the officer entrusted by the Government with the military arrangements for Dublin—in which the five " hundred stand of arms demanded by the Orangemen were guaranteed . The Orangemen thereupon withdrew their resolution . Captain Kennedy paid them £ 600 fov arms , under pretence of the sum being raised by subscription , of which there is not the slightest proof , the whole being a device , ludicrously transparent , to cover the direct complicity of the Government . Sir

      Edward Blakeney , the Commander of tho Forces , received from the Grand Master of the Orangemen an official list of tho Dublin Orangemen , and wrote an order to Colonel Browne , the head of the Police , sanctioning the granting of licences to have arms to an exclusive sectarian secret society ; and , further , the leaders of the Orangemen , as such , were made aware of the plans of the military commandant . A similar course was pursued in the al

      rurdistricts ; and thus the Governmerit , whilo disarming the whole Roman Catholic population—while refusing arms to a Defensive Association "—openly constituted of the most wealth y and respectable persons , ot all classes and creeds-actually did arm the members of a secret society , known only for Hieir inveterate hatred to the Irish people—for the bitterness of their sectarian animosity , an tor the blood-thirsty ruthlessness with which they have , at all times , gratified their savage instincts and antipathies . If this was not

      arming one part of the population against another , we know not what it is ; and , looking to the position of affairs in Ireland , at the time the event took piace , lt seems to us to bo upon a Cti ^ T , - gement of blo ° dhounds to hunt down the Indians , by a former Government of civilised and Christian England Colonel PiuiRE [ Foul would have been a hZTTn * Dame ) ' not coufine his labours to the Orangemen .
