respected.* Amongst the Roman Catholic priesthood there are, we firmly believe, not a few resembling "the good priest of Borrisokane,"† and who, if they can really calculate upon firm support, will not hesitate to discountenance, both by precept and example, pestilent agitation; and in all such cases the executive should exhibit a friendly countenance to parties who may have been led to see the errors of their ways, and who may, by

a

little kindly encouragement, be changed into fast friends from bitter enemies. We trust and believe that in this particular Lord De Grey will not be wanting to the best interests of the country.

The

It will, however, be indispensable to the success of any project of conciliation, that the distinction before adverted to be made between the loyal and the gunpowder Papists. tiger does not change his nature when he may find it convenient to sheathe his claws; and government may rest assured, that as long as popery continues in the strength and the virulence with which it exists in this country, there will be an anti-British faction, a faction hating the church, and hostile to the state, which no conciliation can subdue. Our viceroy, therefore, had need to be upon his guard against his own beneficent predilections. He has much reason, both on public and private grounds, to feel a high gratification at the attendance upon his last levee. It comprised an assemblage of rank, and wealth, and worth, and high constitutional principle, such as, with one exception, that of the levee of George IV. upon his arrival here in 1821, never was witnessed in Ireland. What does this prove? Not, merely, that the loyal

were rejoiced at the arrival amongst
them of a Conservative viceroy, but
that the nation at large was sick of
the agitation by which it was con-
vulsed, and rejoiced at the prospect
of the repose which seemed in pros-
pect, under the sway of a vigorous, a
beneficent, and a constitutional ad-
ministration. In this state of things
it has always been the wily policy of
the Church of Rome, to permit and
even encourage its votaries to render
a government so established lip ser-
vice. By so acting, they are sure
they do themselves no harm, while
they are equally certain they do the
government no good. Lord De Grey
may rest assured that he will gain
nothing by the accession, or the seem-
ing accession of such adherents.
him, therefore, be on his guard. Let
no plausibility persuade him to believe
that the men who were the secret
contrivers of all the vicious measures
by which the government of his two
last predecessors was characterised-
and some of whom are known to have
rejoiced with a fiendish malignity,
when, owing to their machinations, the
church seemed tottering to its fall-
can suddenly have been converted
into wise and constitutional advisers,
merely because they have been
thwarted in their designs, and the
places which their puppets lately oc-
cupied are now filled by better men.
Let those better men beware of con-
tact with such characters as these.
"Timeo Danaos," &c. &c. should be
their motto. Their fawning syco-
phancy can bode them no advantage;
and if there be a sunken rock upon
which they can be wrecked, that rock
will be found to consist of the delu-
sive plausibilities of such deceivers.

The following fact, for which we pledge our veracity, will give the reader some idea of the sort of intimidation to which respectable farmers have of late been exposed-A gentleman, whose name we think it unnecessary to mention, saw one of that class riding home on a market-day, and bringing with him, slung across his horse, a leg of mutton. He observed that he was glad to find him bringing to his family such a solid and comfortable joint. The man made him no reply; but as he passed on, when he found himself beyond the reach of other observers, he saidWhy, then, it is not for myself I am bringing this home, and it's little of it my family will eat; but I got a notice that eight men are to sup at my house on a certain night, and this is for them; and eight greater villains don't exist in the coun try." But," observed the gentleman, "why not denounce them to the police, and have them taken ?" The farmer looked aghast. "What !" said he, "is it to get myself murdered outright; and how do I know that they have not more friends amongst the police than I have?" Such was the working of the Normanby policy. Should we not feel devoutly thankful that it is at an end?
