      succeeded is disrati&fjiDg all parties at home , it has l * e n abtma * antly successful in causing the foreign enemies of Britain to rejoice and be glad . So long indeed as the acknowledged distress of the -working classes was likely | o he confined irithin the narrow limits of our domestic polity , » long -was that diitress matter of unimportance to the cunning monarch who wields the French sceptre . But the moment it -was wrealed that the aid of the CSielsea Pensioners might be required to keep the cry of tnri ^ er in snhjection , "while her Majesty and her Minijten isreiiB revelling In enjoyment during the recess , did jtomis Rsllippe discover that the heretofore subsidizing Sndand must henceforth , in oonseqnence of her raised Exefcegner , lely-npon the physical force « f foreign EitJona to suppress the grcwing discontent arMng ont of domestic misrule .

      " Tnm about ia fair play , saya the English Minister I © the King of the Barricade *; tee have exhausted our resources for the purpose of upholding your title to the throne of France , and now , according to all the rulei of good faith and » reciprocity ,- -we have s claim npon you to uphold our ascendancy at tome . True , Mi . Pitt and the statesmen of hia day were actuated by a double motive in pntting down the . French Bevolntion ; firstly , by their au ^ y to kings generally j and secondly , lest ttte example Bet in . France should be followed by the "KngliRh people : and 2 the interests of France and

      England -were so inseparably united in 1792 , as to justify the expenditure of so much English blood and English money sot yet made , the « me reasoning , with a mere change of circumstances , would hold good in 1 S 43 ; that is , if the rage for Repoblicaniini in France in 1792 justified the English Minister of that day in expending the country ' s resources to aappresa it , surely , mtdalis jjwfajuEs , and , by a parity of reasoning , we hare iww a justifiable demand upon the French Excheqner , for the purposa of suppressing the same spirit in England , which , if not silenced would set a bad example to France and to the world . "

      "We would modestly ask if a greater coincidence of opinion could possibly exist than between that expressed by ns on the 7 th of September , and ths $ expressed by La Presse at the close of the monih . Did "we not prophesy the demand upon Prance to aid England in carrying ont her policy ? * nd did wo not say that loins Pbujtpe would bleed at every -pore raiher than sse a Republic established in Spain , or the Union between Great Britain and Ireland repealed ! But we said more in the same article . We said this : ** who trill venture to assert that the invasion of Ireland hy en army of Frenchmen , may net be at the present moment mailer of diplomatic consideration ? " That the-qnestion of a Repeal of the Union is to be nshered forth

      as one of paramount importance to French diploma- * tists , we gather the following article which appeared in the Journal des Debats , within ih « last week : — " Every one mnst have remarked , that since the Queen irf Snjlacd , in proroguing the Parliament , expressed in tfee most explicit terms her indignation against the attempts made to produce a dismemierment of the United ^ Kingdom , there hare been less meetings is Ireland , many less monster speeches from O ' Con ; sell , and many less hurrahs for Repeal . The Queen ' s speech has deprived him of his last chance of any longsr steang the aimplieity of his auditory . Doring sereisl months he had daily repeated to his credulous countrymen that the Queen was with them , tiat the

      wished to grant Repeal , but that ahe was the prisoner of a Saxon GoYerament and Parliament ; that they would not rcffer the voice of her faithful Irish subjects to Teach her ; that it was f « r the Queen herself they were fighting ; that their cause wxs her own ; that it waste deliver her from slavery ; that it was to restore to her the free exercise of her prerogative that they leagued against the Saxon . But the Queen met the Parliament expressly to denounce and energetkallyio blame the agitation for Repeal . What does Mr . CConDfill do ? He aaya' It la sot the Queen who spoke , it was her 3 iinistera , who spoke by ner mouth ; the Queen is not free , * Tain subtleties l The people will no longer belieTe it . Here commences the embarrassment of the agitator ; he is in a dilemma where he cannot remain without danger , or leave without committing an ad of madness . He sees himself at the head-of an

      army whose Dumber astounds him , and whose force threatens to tern against himself . Formerly he called meetings te pass review * , and , as he said , to count heads : at present be confesses that he only holds them to suffer the boiling courage of the Irish people to evaporate , who are asking him every day when be will lead them against the Saxons . Thus Mr . O'Connell , in place of agitating , seeks but to calm ; he only wishes to find an issue to give a passage to the wares he has confined , _ and by which he fears to be carried ont 2 fo one better thim > i ? Tn « flf comprehends this critical position j he knows better than any other that the first step made towards 'violence would be his destruction , and at the , same time a sanguinary repression . He knows well that the Bepeal of the Union is an insane dreamhe knows that England , which Is t&e stranger , will not grant it , because it would make her descend to the rank of countries of the third order—he knows that not

      only it would be the ruin of England , but that it would also be the rain of Ireland , because the Irish people , in their present condition , are incapable of living and walking alone ; but it is because be knows all this , and knew it beforehand , that a heavy responsibility weighs upon bis head . Ah ! we comprehended and admired Mr . O'Connell wben he agitated his Country men for the cause of emancipation , ana when be organised over the whole surface of Ireland that vast association which opened to the Catholics sad Dissents * tbe entrance to the national representation . But emancipation was something practicable ; the half of England wished it with Ireland ; it could be realized legally and pacifically , and the proof is , that it was so .

      Sat Rspeali the thing is impossible- Nevertheless Mr . O'CoBneB preaches it as the only snd last remedy to all the evils of Ireland—as a panacea which ousbt to cure all the physical and moral wounds of that nuforta-Eats country . * ' Tea have no bread , I will give you Bepeal i no clothing , the Bepeal 1 no shelter , the Repeal ! B-main quite some time longer , and I promise you shall have it' Be promises , and he knows he e&nnot give it But the people , tired of waiting , and waiting in vain , will sot remain quiet They have been taught to regard this dream as a reality ; they bave been told that Bepeal would make them station ; that with Bepeal their fields » ould become fruitful , and their

      towns prosperous ; their Chief and their priests nave told than io , and they believed them : the fools who could play with ^ the passions of the people with impnnity , and who are now afraid that these deceived and irritated masses should tarn on them , and say , * Oa what day , at what hour , shall we be free ? When shall we be a nation ? What are yon w » tinz for thai yon do no * lead -us against tbe Saxon ? ' O'Connell neither knows what to answer , or what to do . He is like the magician who ceated a monster and gave it life , but here the creature revolts against its creator , and says—* 5 nfneieBtiy long have I been your slave ; is your turn be mine , and march . "

      " This is the present situation of Ireland ; it is sad , azd can inspire bat sombre anticipation * . There are , we know , evils to be remedied , but the Irish themselves appear to oppose an obstacle to all reasonable reform . Mr . O'Connell ias ventured bis state upon a dangerous card ; he has placed Ireland between Bepeal and revolution . Bepeal he cannot have ; and as to revolution , if it were attempted , which God forbid , the attempt would infallibly conclude in an unfortunate and impotent revolt . " To tho = e who are uaaeensiomed to the mode and

      manner in which ministerial journals prepare the way for ministerial action the above article would present no cause for alarm ; bat to us who are in £ be haiit of tracing all the acts of governments from ihis very source , we recognise in this an ti- Irish tirade , the note of preparation intended to precede the developement of thosa plans agreed apon at the Conference of Monarchs . Apart from this foreign note of preparation , we gather gloomy forebodings

      from the studied sileace of oar minister , and the appearance of a large fleet in the harbour of the Cove ef Cork . In an Tradertakicg which mast necessarily require great military skill there is no doubt lhat all the warlike preparations will be entrusted to the Duke of Weluksios , while from his well known policy of a word and » blow , that execution should follow Tipoa the rerj heels of design , it fe not at all unlikely that even Sir JRobebt Peel himself mav be kept in entire ignorance of the

      iaiexmons of the Dake . Enough however peeps throngh the curtain to eoDTiEce as that a conspiracy is on foot 1 that a tremendous blow will be aimed 1 that France and England will be the chief actors in the Tragedy . ' and that Spain and Ireland will be the stages wheraon the drama Trill be acted . We should not hs at all astonished to find numerous cases of military and police defection in Ireland urged as a reason ior an exchange of troopB ; and the more especially , as we gather from the press of France thai that country and Englamd are now nnitedby a

      solemn League and Cyvenant ; while our eontem-P « siie 3 at home wonld stoutly argue that the amicaile hearing of Fiance , and the evident hostility of Inland justified reliance epos French soldiers , rather than npon native troops ; while cpon ' the principle of exchange onx legions may be transported to Spain , ihere to fight thebattleof despotismbe have great reliance , however , upon the impreTed mind of England , Ireland , Scotland , and "Wales , and we have a firm conviction tha * that mind well jer ^ anix sd and judiciously direc ted will be capable of resisting any unjust interference with the xoaxm Democratic principles . The days of shoot-

      ing and butchery dare noi be revived in the present dissatisfied condition of the working and middling classes of this country . The bugaboo of Jacobinism and Republicanism haslost its charm , and that which haunted £ he prejudiced mind as a hideous hobgoblin , some fifty years ago , has now been transformed , by the system which crushed it , into a more sightly thing . "While matters are thus progressing in France and England , every town and city in Spain is rising up in arms against ihe recent usurpers ; and the inhabitants throughout the country , are crying for the blood of those tyrants , nnder whose standard what remained of the constitution was bntchered , and are loudly calling out for a Republic . In Spain , that even Napoleon with Mb conquering army could not

      subdue ; in Spain , desolated by civil war and revolutions following in rapid succession ; in Spain , all attempts to foist olass ascendancy npon the people has failed ; and with one accord Spaniards cry out for s Republic , as the only means of gathering np the whole strength of the nation for the protection of- its liberties ! The elections are now going on ; and as far as they have proceeded they famish ample proof that the bloody Nabvafjs ; the soldier-shooting Nabyaez j the liberal-instiration-destroying Nabtafz ; the ruffian Nasyatz , whose bloody deeds affright him from sleeping two sncoe 3 sive nights in one house : these elections prove that that usurper is not even the representative of the eleotoral body , and therefore lacks all the qualities by which even tyrants justify their rule .

      There has been no country in the world so trodden npon and oppressed by a legion of unrestrained | priests as Spain ; and the very fact of Espaktebo , I who curbed their licentiousness , and woald have | ultimately crushed their power , still standing in : favour with a l&rge majority of the people , proves | ihat Spain is tired of priestcraft , and pants to throw off the remnant of those shackles which the Inquisition imposed npon their forefathers .

      THE MONSTROUS COALITION . WHIG AND TOBY JUNCTION . It is now eighteen months since we prophesied that the success of fne Tariff wonld lead to a junction between Pbel and Russell , or that its failure would lead to the remscitation of Whig hape . From its enactment to the present moment , one adverse circumstance or another , has served to buoy up the drooping spirits of Whiggery . Eoglaad , Ireland , Scotiand , and Wales , have been severally hunted ior a Wniff cruteh ; tbax forlorn and scattered faction

      greedily cherishing the hope of party strength out of nationai dissatisfaction , disquiet , or even revolution . The astounding announcement of ** increased prosperity , through improved trade , " added to the rejection of Whig co-operaiion by the Irish Repealers , has nowever cut both legs , —commercial distress , and Iriab Whig Revolution , —from snder the rotten body ; and , as we are informed by the most able and consistent of our cotemporaries , the Morning AdverlUer , the Whigs , thus commercially and politically disappointed , have resolved npon sharing the loaves and fishes , n they cas , with their Tory

      brethren ! The following article upon tho subject appeared in ihe Morning Advertiser of Wednesday last : — * ' An article in the Chron&e of Monday last , eontafcs some curious , or , to say the least , striking indieaUona of the-Whig party . It will be remembered that , in the course of last week , * rumour was prevalent of overtures havicg been made hy Sir Bobert Peel to the leader of the Wnis faction . We fancy the remarks of the

      Chronvde . to which we allude may lie regarded as bearing on this point PerhapB , iodeed , Sir Bibert Peel has never entertained the idea for a moment . of coalescing with the Whigs . It may , in possibility , -be that be would disdain lo do so . But let the country mark the Whigs—bow tfefy will pander asd pander , to the last , never forgetting their old propensities ; throwing over tbe country , when it suits them , with as much xt * g / hoitf-ratber with as moeh ftit * de mur—> s nob ' . e miDds would rush to the consummatum of

      some work of patriotism . On ! j the week before last , and the CArtmitto was aware of what U *> ^ mphatitally the fact , teat the rtate of the country was desperate . To ^ ay 11 ifflwvers Oat condition to be revwwd-that , ' notwithstanding insurrection in Wales , and * itatfc « inlreland , there are various «« nastocesJn Represent aspect of onr national affairs calcuUted ^ J ^* J » JodTtockupo . the past w -the w » t powerful iDeeBtive to present action ; ' ' to renew confideMe , ' and ^ sp ixe bope ; ' and in rendering ^ pestle to be imraed thkt the eountiy is fnHy in the main-Since of its -prc-ud position' - ' M free from

      are reckoned nothing but rubbish ! But let otherg be surprised ; we are not . We were dismally sensible of what our Bussells are composed ; and we are free to ewn that upon a bet of C the upshot , should Sir Bobert Peel be induced to advance the proposition of coalition , we would have staked ourselves to infinity on the manner in which It would be received . The Whigs all of a sudden discern that tfeera "is an undoubted general revival of trade and eommerce ; " that " passfng from our ficonemlcal to our social and political condition , that there is a very considerable improvement in the feeling of the bulk of the working classes ¦/ ' that " Chartism has fallen from fever heat to thefreez ' . ng point , " and that while our state is prosperous to this extent is the time to ^ wbat niay the country thfnk 1 Why institute

      such great measures as Education and general Drainage ! "The whole object , however , in alluding to such indications on the part of the Whigs as these , can be simply for tbe purpose of placing the more credulous part of the community upon their guard . The more sagacions will see throngh the deception . at a glance ; and while execrating the political pandering , feel nothing but a renewal of that nausea which the Whigs have so invariably and powerfully excited . Of the consequence of a : coalition of tha nature adverted to , we imagine tkere would be but one thought throughout tbe country . In all ages , and under all disposition of circumBtauces , it naa proved so , that when men combine to forego * their principles at tbe shrine of some political object , treason is \ he only spirit that presides

      upon the scene , and that truth and honesty are cast down like vain g » d 8 to be Bpnrned , but no longer adored . Tha Peel amalgamated with the Russell tenets in politics , or the Bossell with the Pee '; ana then the issue that would ensue , could there be anything more monstrous ? To prevent " movement" would be the first grand effort ; to place barriers of iron again 6 t the principle of progress would be the first resolute design . Tbe sliding scale might , it is possible , be induced to succomfe t » fixed duty , and the work of education might be re-attempted under the auspices of a church hierarchy . But as to government which the country could endure from such

      a combination of principles , the idea were villany run mad . We say it in a spirit of the most perfect composure of conviction , that the country could not tolerate the profanity of a Peel-Bussell Administration . Under appalling cirenmstances it has , it is true , been tutored to a state of unexampled forbearance and docility ; but to assume that the first genuine instincts of the British millions would suffer , without rebelling against a Government composed of profunnd despotism and unquestioned treachery , were to assume that tba nsturaj laws of the human mind were revereed , and tbat Britain , boasting of its political freedom , were suddenly sunk , enslaved under the strongest and the foulest political bondage .

      " If , therefore , the geniuB of Chartism sleep , let it arouse itself now , when such a prospect of national degradation darkens the horlaon ; if , therefore , the liberties and the honour of the country are thus assailed , let not a moment be lost in placing at defiance the menacing array of inauspicious cirenmstances . " We are of opinion ,: however , that tbe rumour ia a fiction got up to shew the current of the wind . The nature of public sentiment befog ascertained , the Whig organ will , doubtless , be as ready to repeat his veering propensity from the left as to it , and be only too happy in the chance of an opportunity to renew the hollow advocacy of views and opinions which he can shift off with an adroitness peculiar only to Whiggery . " But however this may be , we on our part are prepared te stand stanch-to the national cause , and to resist to tbe death the faintest manifestations that may indicate themselves of a Peel and Basse !! coalition C » blneL "—lf » rBf » o Advertiser .

      W « thank our contemporary for the invitation to arouse . It is trne Chartism has slept ; but is now awakened , and prepared to arrest the " national degradation that darkens the horizon . "

      THE ENROLMENT OF THE NEW PLAN OF ORGANIZATION . Thts has not yet . been effected . Tho Certifying Barrister is ill . Heds confined with a sore throat . An interview was arranged with him , if well enough , for twelve o'clock on Thursday . Of course we have not yet heard the result ; but expect to do so , in time for some of our later Editions . The people however can be carrying out the suggestions we offered to them last week . They can be making all preparation . Get the funds together ; and the list of names ready for enrolment , the moment the books and cards are issued . No time will then be lost .

      There is one point of bminess to which we mast call attention , crowded as we are for space just now . But ia this matter the people have begun to work ; and we want to see every portion of the work that all and each have to do carried on systematically and properly . The subject to which we now call attention is the sending of funds * We have a General Treasurer . He is also Treasurer to the Victim Fund . To him , and to him alone , ought all monies either for the Executive Committee , or for the General Victim Fund to be sent . Now , this is a to

      point ef business that every one on ^ ht attend to . On no occasion should it be neglected . Let the payments be made to the Treasurer direct . Then all confusion is avoided . Some , at present , send their monies to this office ; others send to other parties . We wish this not to be . We wish no man to assume an office to which he haa not been appointed ; and we wish every man who has been appointed to office , to bave thrown npon him all the responsibility of hia office . Let the people , therefore , see to this . The carrying out of the Plan of Organization

      will mainly depend on themselves : and if they will not observe the common business regulations , they may depend on it that their officers will not long do £ 0 . We have drawn attention to this matter at the beginning . We wish all to begin well ; and in no matter is regnlarity and system so muoh desired as in the transmission and custody of funds . Get into a lax mode of dealing with them , and we shad soon find all our basiness laxly conducted : observe strict rule and order with the management of these , and iho habit will infuse itself into all other portions of our business .

      Every penny , then , for the General Treasurer , either for the General Ftiud , or for the Viciiai Fund , must be sent to him direct , by an order maue payable only to himself . Then he will be clearly responsible for all he receives . Sach responsibility cannot be thrown upon him , unless this is uniformly done . The address of the General Treasurer is : * ' F . O'Connor , Esq ., care of Mr . John Cleave , 1 , Shoe-lane , Fleet-street , London . " Let db hope that , in this particular , the sending of funds , all will go right in * future .

Henry DjWbll Ctoffi' . hs , of No . 4 , Pailpbtt Terrace , Elt ; 9-ware Road , London , has sent ua an account of tne

      inhumian treatment of a lad by a person calling himself a " gentleman" , of which wo subjoin tho following particulars : —•• On Sunday evening , Aueuul 20 th , as a poor , fatherless , and labouring youth , named George North , residing at No . 3 , Lower Uxbridge r street , Kensington Gravel Pits , was passing through Wlse ' a Fields ' , in company with his twe brothora and an acquaintance , the boy beard a train coming up the Great Western line , and ran across the fields to look at it . Wise , the proprietor and occupier of the Q-ild , w , < w looking over the parapet of a bridge ( ft portion of ; the railway ) close to the field where tha boys were . He called to them to come ont of tha

      gross , which two of them did ; the others did not , but made thalr way to a gap they wished to get through . Wise again called out that they had no business there . Upon bearing this , the youth whom he so brutally treated replied , that " other persons went there , and he should . " Incensed at this reply , Wise rushed down the " slope" from tho bridge , and struck at tbe boy with his walking-stick . To avoid the blow , the youth made an attempt to take a haaty leap over a ditch , when bis foot elipped , and a stake , which was fastened in the ground , passed up the left leg of his trousers , and entering bis flesh just above the inner bone of tbe left anole , forced its way through the calf of his leg , coming out a little below the outer bone of his knee . The poor youth , feeling

      the pain consequent upon so dreadful an incision , cried out to "Wise , who was now beating him most unmercifully , that he had "broke his leg" but it was not until be bad broken his stick about tbe youth ' s back that he ceased his cruelty . Freed from one species of torture tbe youth tried to extricate himself from the other ; to do this he was compelled to draw his leg from the stake ; Wise remarking "It served him right , and would make him remember the next time , " Wiso now affected the humanity of sending for a wheelbarrow to convey tha sufferer to a surgeon , which having been procured , tbe poor lad was taken ; to Mr . Brown ef Kensall Green , who slightly dressed the wound ; after which he was conveyed in a cart by Mr . Lander ,

      junler , Btone mason , of Kensall Green , to St . George ' s Hospital ,, a distance of about five miles , where he still lies in a very weak state , the wound not being healed yet , and his leg and foot being very miicb swollen . " Mr . Griffiths adds that the field in which the boys were is commonly passed through by tbe public going from KeusaM town to Wormholt Common , and has a foot-path across it Two or three footpaths in the neighbourhood have been closed fcy this Wise . Mr . Griffiths adds also , that although the yeuth North had lost his income of eight shillings a-week which he earned as a plasterer , not one farthing has Wise given kirn towards bis support . Mr . 6 . concludes by expressing a hope that those who peruse this account , and are able to give any pecuniary aid to the sufferer , will ~ do so : and also that some kind friend will take him into his employment . or assist in providing for him : until snob time as

      Dublin , Sept 23 rd , 1843 . Dear Sir , —In my opinion there is nothing will inspire the timid , but at tha same time honest and well-intentioned , portion of the community with more confidence than an ample " viictlm Fuul . " In sending you iny subscription , an Irish one pound note , to that fund , and regretting tbat I cannot afford to send a hundred pounds instead , I beg it to be distinctly understood that I bave no sympathy with evil doers—no feeling for those who -wilfully , perversely , or ignorantly and obstinately knock * tbeir heads against the wall , and thus damage the cause in which tbsy are embarked , and involve those { who had more experience than themselves ia the same troubles which their headlong aad | thoughtless course had caused . There is no merit in violating the law ; in running tilt against it , and becoming its victim . Movements , in strict compliance with the law are tbe best , and most successful in the long run . \

      For instance . Sir Robert j Peel got a latt passed Which wnpels the banks to pay their notes in gold ; now it is complying with the law , and at the same time ¦ complimentary to Sir Bobert , to ' get gold for notes at the banks ! .

We ate suro our readers will peruse it with no ordinary interest , coming , as it does , from a man who for yeara past has enjoyed the confidence of the working classes of tliat city . Mr . M . expresses his approbation of tbe " New P . ' , " and does so in tbe best possible way , by sending to the General Treasurer ( Mr . O'Connor ) half a sovereign as his contribution to tbe Executive . Wo implore

      of our readers in general , and those of Glasgow in particular , a serious consideration of the weighty truths contained in Mr . M . ' a le ' -tor . Lat there be no mora of tho " w « rse than ndnaense" complained of by Mr .

      174 , Gallowgate , Glasgow , 23 rd Sept , 1843 . My dear Sir , —As Treasurer for carrying out the New Plan of Organization , I herewith enclose fur you half a sovereign as my mite for tbe said object ; In making this conanmnScation to you , I cannot help remarking that there has not been anything in the conduct of the great mass ot the Chartista which haa grieved and irritated me , and which \ has extorted from me from time to time stronger and more unqualified reflections than tbe dishonesty ( I say it advisedly ) hitherto exhibited by them in carrying out the resolutions of the body . ]

      To give yon a proof of what I mean . In this great city in which I reside , we have ( bad oa many occasions , multitudinous—yea , very multitudinous expressions of public opinion in favour of our principles , of which you yourself have been witness on more than ono occasion ; and yet , strange to say , we never had , in the whole city of Glasgow and suburbs , more than two thousand members in our Association ; and I believe we never had even tbat number for three months at one time VoWj Sir , such things ought not to be ; and such things must not he , if the peepla have any idea whatever of accomplishing their object Nosimilmr number of men to that which toe have hitherto had to work the work , and pay ihe money , tvet can accomplish the object I make this assertion that that portion of the people who have hitherto contented themselves with looking on and waiting tOTeap the btneflt of < mr ejtertloiiB , may bo thereby stimulated to dp their duty .

      I believe the statement I have made respecting Glasgow is of universal application or nearly ao ; and is entirely discreditable to the great body of the people for either the people do want the Charter or they do ' not If they do want it , I think the experience they haveoad might be raffiolent ; to satisfy tin m , that remaining neutral fa not exattly the way to obta i n itin either the shortest time , or at the least possible ex BeD 88 .

      THE « RENT" WAR . CORN EXCHANGE CONSISTENCY . ** Don ' t nail his ears to the pump , " is a negative invitation , we presume , tinder the law to take care that if the job be done , it should he well done ; and never was there a more striking exemplification of the outward and visible signs of a thorough respect for the law than that evinced in a speech recently delivered in the Corn Exchange , by a Mr . Daunt , npon the subject of Mr , Connor ' s reoent motion for & manifesto against the payment of " rents , rates , tithes , and taxes . " After a very severe phillipic upon the general principle . Mr . Daitkt proceeds : —

      " Never was there a mere complete developement of the principle of tbe bandit t than that on which Mr . Connor ' s motion rested . Not pay rente ? Why , as wall might a man go into a Bhop and bike away the property of iu owner without paying for it as occupy the house or farm of his landlord and refuse him his tqaiuble remuneration . Had they sanctioned that -principle they would bave been no longer the Repeal Association bnt a banditti- T * ie people of Ireland wers as completely under the centroul of the Association aa was a good team under the management of an experienced whip . "

      Now , that ' s plain reasoning , and comes within the scope of tae meanest understanding . It means that the Repeal Association has set its face against any iaterfere&ce with the question of rents . But let us see what the very next sentence is . Mr . Daust proceeds : — " He would therefore advise the landlords of Ireland , if tbey were not destitute of common sense , to Ion not a moment in joining the Association , for their iateresta were deeply at stake . IT WAS THEIR DUTY AND BUSINESS TO GOME THERE ; AND HE ADVISED THEil , IF THEY DID NOT BECOME REPEALERS , TO LOOK TO THEIR BENTb . "

      If -we can understand plain English , this far outstrips Mr . CoNsoa ' s proposition . The people of Ireland , we are told , are as completely under the whip of the Repeal Association as ever a team of horses were under tie waggoner ' s scourge . The nse of the waggoner's whip is to make the team perform its business" and "duty ; " and , erg * , if it is the "business" and duty" of the landlords to join the Repeal Association , it becomes part of the busiaess and duty of the Repeal whip to make them deso ; and if not , as Mr . D-irai emphatically says , LET

      THEM LOOK TO THEIR RENTS . " "We believe that it was before Baron Gxasow a man was once tried for committing a rape ; and when tbe crime was fnlly proved against him , upon being called for his defence , he proved that % field of beans belonging to him , upon the road-ride , had been for some time subject to the depredations of the village damsels . After having exhausted all threats of prosecution according to law , man-traps ,

      spring guns , and so forth , he exhibited large placards , declaring that he would ravish the first girl found trespassing upon his premises . He was as good as his word : he did ravish the prosecutrix ; bat upon proving the notice gives in the placard , the Judge directed the Jury to acquit , and told the criminal that , though he had taken the very best means of saving his bacon , he had taken the very worst means of saving kis beans .

      "Kow , precisely finch is our opinion with respect to ihe protective influence of Mr . Dxvkt ' s speech . The Association may be ravished ; bnt the landlords will find that the saving of Mr . Dauht ' s b&eon will not tend to the saving of their rents . It would have been mnch better to have allowed Mr . Cohkob ' s motion to have died a natural death than to have eiTen it increased vitality by further distussioa .
