S , PIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. Notwithstanding the eagerness of the Tories for office, were Ministers, on the rejection of the Irish Municipal Corporation Bill in the House of . Lords, to leave the course open to them, we are at a loss to see how they could pos sibly carry on the:Government. We say nothing of the difficulties in the way, of Sir Robert Peel created by his new alliance with the Dilly, and the split which it must occasion amongst his old friends when the division of the spoil. comes to be discussed, though it is obvious that the occupation of some of the principal parts by Members of the Dilly will leave little wherewithal to satisfy the craving ap petites of the ancient colleagues of the Right Hon. Baro net. But the Government must be essentially Orange, and the sword the substitute for conciliation and an impar tial administration of the laws. The " aliens in religion, fit langtiage, and in blood," if treated as aliens, and provoked by injustice and oppression, the only treatment they can ex vet from an Orange ascendancy, will, no doubt, afford fresh .cerifirmation of the truth of the saying, that patience has its limits. The Tories can hardly conceive that the Duke of Wellington, great- as lie has proved himself in the field, with an army which was " so mounted" as to be equal to any undertaking, will be able to coerce Ireland with an un willing army. If, in 1829, he knew from tl.e most careful inquiries that the army could not be trusted with butcher ing their fellow-countrymen, he must know that the " aliens" form still more at this time the staple of any force he could employ. We put humanity out of the question, for all his tory proves that there is no cruelty of which an ascendant caste is not capable to preserve its unjustly usurped domi nion. But, with the will to be sanguinary, the Orangemen are without the means to give effect to their wishes. Ire land cannot be held as a conquered enthralled province. The. Irish are better organized and more powerful than in 1829 ; and the Orangemen may have still the same 'unconquerable hate to the great body of their coun trymen, but they have been shorn of much of their power. By brute force they cannot coerce the millions. But let us assume that the Tories are blind to these considerations, and determined on deluging Ire land with blood, is there a man not qualified for , Bedlam who supposes that the conquest of Ireland, as they phrase it, can he 'effected. without producing the most disastrous effects'in this country ? The moment the sword is drawn in Ireland the commerce between the two islands is pa ralyfied, the exportation of food to the manufacturing dis tricts of the North of England and Scotland is suspended, commercial confidence in all parts of the empire is shaken, and thousands of unemployed workmen in every town will spring up to curse the Tories, and, if possible, to take ven geance on them. If the' Tories can command bayonets in abundance for Ireland, they cannot also have bayonets for Manchester, for Birmingham, for Leeds, and Glasgow. Violence cannot be confined to Ireland. If the Duke of Wellington durst not in 1832 make head against the people 'in England and Scotland, would circumstances prove more favourable with his army employed in Ireland ? But let us suppose the suffering people of England and S c otl a nd more patient under their own wrongs, more indifferent to the wrongs of their Irish brethren, than we •appre bend they would be,—can the Tories suppose for a moment that they would not avail themselves of their con stitutional rights to associate from one end of the island to the other, and drive with ignominy from power men who had proved themselves so unfit to be entrusted with it ? They cannot surely be so silly as to suppose that the ope ratives whom they bribed with food and drink to attend their Conservative feasts would rally round them in the hour of trial. In the people they can place no hope. Bribery and intimidation are alone effective in a time of tranquillity and prosperity. In a period of intense agitation all low and sordid considerations yield to 'more generous impulses. The Tories would find to their cost that privi leged classes, backed by parsons, are as nothing when men are under the influence of strong passions. That the Tortes did not put themselves to the expense of so many feasts during the vacation without having in view a Speedy. advent to power, we can believe. But when the critical period approaches, the appalling truth must flash across their minds, that to take office with the prospect offered to them in Ireland, would be at tended with results which it would be madness to encounter. We have hitherto said little of the " united" party *which is to supplant the present Government. Sir James Gra ham has been labouring haad to conciliate the Orangemen, and we can conceive they may deem his present High Church intolerance and bigotry an atonement for his former ultra-Radicalism, and his endeavours to rob the public cre ditor. But Sir James Graham is not a man on whom confidence can be reposed in the hour of trial. The Duke of Wellington, whose experience of men has taught him ta• read character with intuitive quickness, would never think of placing himself in a rough sea in the same boat with Sir James. He boasted of 'flying at high game, but there is more of the dunghill fowl than the eagle in him. Robert Peel might wish to persuade the people that his administration would be liberal, and by way of a tub to the Oiliale might announce two or three liberal-sounding measures ; but then where is such a Government to find support ? Throe-fourths of the "united party" in the House of Commons detest liberalism under any Government, and are already more than suspicious and jealous of Sir Robert. They have infinitely greater confidence in Sir James Graham. How Lord Lynciburst is to be disposed of by the " united party" does not exactly appear ; for their disposition is to place Sir Edward Sugden on the English Woolsack. But we leave the parties to settle these ques tions among themselves. It is enough for us to know that distribute places as they may, and whatever the pretences with which they may attempt to mislead the public, if the Great Duke and his military satellites imagine that they can insult with impunity " the aliens in blood, in language, and religion," their tenure of office will be as short as it will be ignominious to themselves and fatal to their party. We fervently pray that the country may escape the cala mity which a Tory Ministry must infallibly entail upon it. .—tl7or rung Chronicle. Lord John Russell moved on Wednesday night for the ap pointment of a Select Committee " To examine precedents with respect to the circulation and publication of reports and papers printed by order of:this House, and to ascertain the law and practice of Parliament prior to and since the order for the sale of such papers." This motion arises out of the case of" Stockdale v. Hansard," in which Lord Den man, highly to his personal honour, and nobly discharging the duties of the important station he fills, made use of the following memorable words :—" The questions which I shall leave to you upon the general issue arc—first, whe= . ther the publication now complained of. was made by the defendants ; and, secondly, if so, whether that publication is libellous. On the third ground which has been submitted td you—namely, that this is a privileged publication—l am bound to say (as it comes before me as a question oflaw, for my direction), I entirely disagree from the law laid down by the Learned Counsel (the Attorney-General) for the defendants. I am not aware of the • existence in this country of any 'body whatever which can privilege servant of theirs to publish libels on any indivi . dual. Whatever arrangements may be made be tween the House of Commons and any publishers whoni they may employ, I am of opinion that the person who publishes that in his public shop, and especially for money, which can be injurious and possibly ruinous to any one of his Majesty's subjects, must answer in a court of justice to that subject, if he challenges him, for that libel. I wish to say so emphatically and distinctly, because I think, if on the first opportunity that arose in a court of justice on such a question that point were to be left unsatisfaCtorily, explained, the Judge who sat there might become' an ac complice in the destruction of the liberties of his country,, end 'e.vpose every individual who lived in it to a tyranny no man ought to submit to." We have certainly no right, nor have we any inclination, to find fault with the re ference of this matter to a Committee of the House of Commons ; but we confess that we have seen with the ut most surprise that some Members of that assembly have riot only disputed the law of the Chief Justice, but have even expressed an opinion that his dictum is an encroach went upon the privileges of the House. Now, yielding to no man in the strength and the sincerity of desire that the privileges of the Commons should flourish with vigour un impaired, and be strenuously maintained against all en eroachinents from .whatever quarter, we nevertheless are much more jealous of the rights of the community at large than of the privileges of any body of men, however high— not that we love the Commons House of Parliament less, Ysut that we love our country more. And in this spirit it is that we beseech all dispassionate men, of whatever party, whothcr in or out of Parliament, to consider the.question closely as well as calmly, and to ponder well upon the consequences that must inevitably result to the pub lic, if Lord Denman's doctrine be not held to be as sound in as we shall have no difficulty in demonstratin g it is in justice and in reason. A Me,nber of th e Mouse of Commons has perfect - liberty of speech, subject only to the rules and orders that govern the proceedings of the House. So far as re gards the community he is unrotrainod and unrestricted. He may libel a man as foully azid as furiously as he pleases, in addressing the House of Commoiss with impu nity. But let that Member publish his speech, and the xaan lie has so libelled may instantly proceed against him, criminally or by civil action. That such is the law we apprehend no one will dispute. If we mistake inst, it has been laid down and administered several tunes in their own recollection, and has, moreover, more than once received the - sanction of the House of Commons. Well, then, why should it be thought that there is any difference between this case and the cas e of the publication of a Parliamentary paper? As ...lon g as such matters are printed and circulated for the'use •sof Members only, nobody would think, nobody has ever thought, of proceeding against the printer of the House -for libels that may happen to be contained in documents of this description. The information they afford may ' be as necessary to the House as the liberty of speech is ; at all events, the right of the House to both has never been disputed. Suddenly, however, the House makes an order that their papers should be published for sale to any one who chooses to buy them, and that, too, at a mnch smaller sum than any individual printer can afford to let the public have them for. Now, let it be recollected that (except in certain election cases) the House of Com mons do not receive evidence on oath : let it be borne in mind that a witness of theirs may slander and vilify, and lie with impunity : let it never be forgottort that such witnesses ., have appeared before . Committees jof the House of Commons, and that, when examined 'en oath before Committees of the House of:Lords, they have not only refused to swear to the truth of what they said before the Commons' Committees, but have admitted that it was false, and to have given other and different evidence when sworn to speak the truth. And why ? Because they could be prosecuted for perjury —because they were legally liable for the consequences of what they swore to before the Lords. Is it to be endured, then, that evidence taken under such circumstances by Committees of the House of Commons shall be cir culated with impunity at a cheaper rate than even Mr. Catnatch of the Seven Dials could afford to publish it at ? Is this either creditable to the House of Commons, or safe to the community ? If :it be replied to us that the House of Commons might punish the false wit ness, we. answer that all the House could do to him would be to imprison him for the session, and that the process by which they must decide upon his committal would render it necessary that they should turn themselves into a sort of court of justice—still without the power of administering an oath ; while on the other hand, the injured party, who may have been actually ruined by the publication of the false testimony, remains ruined without redress, without recom- pense. When we add to these considerations the recently proved fact, that witnesses before Committees of the House of Commons have been allowed to garble the evidence they gave, and to add to it and to take from it in the course of its publication, we think that we shall have demon strated to all impartial men that nothing can be more un just, nothing more dangerous, nothing more utterly inde fensible, than to suffer whatever a witness before a Com-- mittee of the House of Commons may choose to say to be published with impunity, at the smallest possible price, and to the injury of no..matter whom. We have thought it our duty thus temperately and dispassionately to call the attention of the public to these points, in consequence of the vast importance of their bearing- upon the property and the character of every individual of the com munity, and in order that all who have anything either of property or of character to lose, may be able to see how much they have at stake in the issue of the question that was referred on Wednesday to the consi deration of a Select Committee of the House of Commons. Further, we must be allowed to add, that the contrast between the eagerness with which the constitutional obser vations of Lord Denham have been seized upon and sent for inquiry to a Committee, and the quiet submission with which (no matter what the merits of the individual case) the anything but constitutional exercise of the anything but constitutional power of the Court of Chancery has been so readily and i so meekly bowed down to in the case of Mr. Charlton, has forced itself upon our notice most painfully. There is much in manner ; and if even care lessness or awkwardness in that should induce men to be- liere that the authority, of any Court will be respected, and the authority of any disputed, at the caprice of party spirit, or at the suggestions of vain and extravagant ambition of privilege, we think that caution and decency would in such a case be convertible terms.--Times._ The fifty-pound franchise clause foisted into the Reform Act by the Marquis of Chandos, keeps the English counties almost as much under the domination of the Aristocracy as they were previously to the enactment of that measure. To this,, as well as to the threats, bribes, feeding, and flogging, detailed in our report of the election for Buckinghamshire, is to be attributed the so-much vaunted victory which the Tories have gained in the contest for the representation of that county. Neither Mr. Dashwood nor his friends, how ever, had any expectation of his succeeding on the present occasion, in freeing the representation from the thraldom in which it has long been held by the Buckingham interest, to which the fifty-pound clause has lent a truly filial assist ance. The object of Mr. Dashwood's coming forward as a‘ candidate was to 'stimulate the drooping energies of the liberally disposed electors of the county, and to show them that if they will co-operate amongst themselves, they may, though now unsuccessful, .ere long break their bondage, and instead of being cheated of their representative rights by the nominee of a faction, have their rights sustained by a spirit as liberal and independent as their own. It is the fifty-pound clause which curtails the county constituen cies of their just proportions, and we should strongly re commend some liberal Member of the House of Commons to move for its abrogation, did we not know that until other reforms be passed, it would be mere waste of time to bring forward in one branch of the Legislature measures which, in its present constitution, would be certai❑ of being re jected by the other. Since writing the above we have seen the spirited address of Mr. Terry, the able and en lightened chairman of Mr. Dashwood's committee, to the men of Buckinghamshire ; and we beg to point to it the special attention of our readers, as one of the most able productions of the kind which we have ever perused. The Reformers of Buckinghamshire have been beaten, but they had every disadvantage to struggle with ; and, if we be not mistaken, they will upon another occasion prove to their oppobents, that however much they may labour under the tyranny of the fifty-pound clause, the county :will be once more opened to fair and honourable competition, in stead of being, as it now is, almost hermetically sealed.— Morniiig Advertiser. TO-day the Protestant meeting relating to Church-rates takes place at the Freemasons' Hall. It is time for the friends of the. Church to speak out on this subject. There can be no doubt that the simultaneous attacks of the Roman Catholic agitators and political Dissenters, upon tithes and rates, is for the purpose of destroying the Establishment, by taking from the National Church all na tional support. The question really to be determined is, ought the Protestant religion be united to the State, or di vorced from it ? Is a godless Government, or a Christian communion between Church and State, more likely to im prove the morals and promote the happiness of the people ? Can the religious instruction and consolation of the poor be provided for without a religious establishment nationally endowed ?• The Crown is limited by the Act of settle ment, upon the same principle that connects Protestantism with the State in these realms. Can the Church be sub verted without shaking the: foundations of the throne ? Is anarchy in religion more desirable than anarchy in politics? Those Dissenters who say that they are ,wrong fully obliged to pay rates to the national Church might as well allege that it is wrong to make any man pay taxes to the State who happens to hold political opinions not exactly the same as those represented by our constitutional system. There are persons in England who would prefer an abso- . lute Government—there are others who would set up, if they had their will, a republic ; yet all are rightly compelled to pay taxes to the support of a limited monarchy. Were it otherwise, the practical solecism would exist of a national Government without a national revenue—so a national Church without a national provision is a mere fiction. The present attempt of the Dissenters to have Church-rates not commuted on a fair principle, but abolished, is to dena- 'onali:ze the Church, and so to divorce Protestantism from the State! When applying for the repeal of the Test and Corporation Acts, the Dissenters professed the greatest re spect for the Church, and solemnly disclaimed any intention of disturbing or weakening the national Establishment. Similar deelarations of respect for the Church, and similar disclaimers of hostility to its existence or interests, were made by the Roman Catholic Bishops and agitators, when applying to the Protestant Parliament for admission to Protestant rights and privileges. The people •of England now see with what good faith these declarations and dis claimers were made. Both parties, hating each other as they do, have united to subvert the Church ; and should they succeed in that, the struggle will then take place for ascendancy between the despotic Church of Rome anti the voluntary system of the 'Dissenters. When the country is tired, and, perhaps, desolated by such strife, it will then wish to return, as it did once before, to the bosom of a mild and tolerant system like that of the Church of Eng land. Obsta principiis is a sound rule in morals as well as in medicine.—Morning Herald. Lord John Russell took occasion on Thursday evening to notice• a charge lately delivered to his Clergy by the Bishop of Exeter. Complaint having been made to the House of Commons of a breach of privilege committed by a journalist, vvlie had designated their Committee of Privileges " a packed:special jury," Lord John Russell re torted by a reference to what he deemed a far worse and grosser breach of privilege, committed by a Prelate, who had ascribed to the Catholic Members of the House " treachery, aggravated by perjury:' The mind which could discover such an analogy between the two cases as to render their comparison in an argument reasonable, niivlit trace similarities between things the most dissimilar—be - ,ween the scat for South Devon and the seat for Stroud ; be• tween the essays on the British Constitution, and the speeches on the Reform Bill ; between Othello and Don Carlos. But let that pass. We arc too grateful for the opportunity of re curring to the subject of the O'Connell oath to be very angry or very critical with the Noble Lord for the clumsy spite by which the opportunity has been created. It is a gross breach of privilep, according to Lord John Russell, to call the conduct of O'Connell and his gang„in voting an injury to an-Establishment which they have sworn not to injure, " treachery, aggravated by perjury," Is Lord John Russell aware how often, and how distinctly, the same treachery, the same perjury, have been imputed to O'Con nell and his gang by Members of the House of Common.; ? , Is he so forz,etful of the grave reprimand of Sir Rlbt. Ingiis, so unmindful of the solemn arraignment of Sir James Gra ham ? Does he mean to-affirm that a Member of the Upper House violatei the privileges of the Commons by making a statement which a Member of the Lower House may re peat nightly without a violation of their orders ? And what is this breach of privilege which shocks Lord J. Russell ? Oh, the astonishing courage, the superhuman effrontery, of this little Lord ! Papists represent in evidence before num berless Committees, in harangues before multifarious assem blies, that they have no desire to injure the Protestant Establishment ; that those with whose sentiments they are acquainted, have no such desire ; that scats i❑ Parliament would not be used by them, for the promotion of any such end. Papists thus obtain seats in .Parliament ; and upon entering its walls they bind themselves by the sacred obli gation of an oath not to injure the Protestant Establish ment—declaring, at the same time, that they take that oath in the ordinary acceptation of its terms, without any mental reservation or equivocation whatsoever. Papists, after making these declarations, and swearing these oaths, vote for a Bill which deprives the Protestant Establish ment of 50,0001. a year, and vote for it with an- Undis guised belief that it is but a first step towards the confica tion of the whole revenue which the Protestant Establish ment now enjoys. And it is breach of privilege, forsooth, to say that Papists, after these declarations, these oaths, and these votes, have been guilty of " treachery, aggra vated by perjury." It is time that this matter should be set at rest. We will proffer an ordeal, to which the dispute may be brought. A motion to cemmit a Bishop or an editor for a breach of privilege, .would hardly satisfy us, or any man. He who accuses others of odious guilt does not desire to be tried before a tribunal filled partly by those he impeaches, and partly by those who hold place and pay by their aid. We will suggest 'a less partial in quest. To say that the Papist Members of Parliament are 'guilty of " treachery, aggravated by perjury," is, in the opinion of Lord John Russell, a breach of privilege. In our opinion it is worse than-a breach of privilege-7—k is an abominable,apd atrocious libel, if it is not true. .We desire to stand upon that issue. We assert fully and firmly, the conviction which the Bishop of Exeter has maintained in his admirably eloquent charge. We are willing, if we as sert what we cannot justify, to be punished for the asser tion: We are most ready, most anxious, to ask twelve honest Englishmen, assembled in a jury -box, whether Popery in the House of Commons is or is not treacherous and perjured ? That there may be no difficulty in meeting - our challenge, we tender it to an indiVidual by name. We hold Mr. Daniel O'Connell, the MeMber for Kilkenny, in his vote of last session upon the liish ChurCh Bill, to have been guilty of " treachery, aggravated by .perjury."- Let Mr. Daniel O'Connell ask for damag,es before an inde pendent jury and an upright Judge.—Morning . Post. MARKET INTELLIGENCE. (From tho New London Price Current of Feb. 17.)
