We lately extracted a passage from The Corre spondent, a loyal and well-conducted Dublin News paver, on the subject of the ROMAN, CATHOLICS, and upon the prim-ink, Stated by the judiciihs' Writer, that on questions of local policy, perso nal observation and experience ought tO have more weight than abstract reasoning, we avail ourselves of the remarks of an intelligent Jonr nalisr, whose opportunities enable him to form a better judgment than can result from distant spe ctOtt! its " In lirritong at the ortj::c a f t r it ion n : .. -• tinitance of this measure, the render sill thing. new, or remarkable—nothing very Won: nor very •onntl, to shake ally opinion he may en tertain of its necessity. 'Sir S. Romilly rested hiS opposition to it On general principles, willow paying any attention to existing facts. Ile spew-,. ed no inconsiderable ignorance or the actual ins uistrathin of the law, in districts to which raj: insurrection Act had been extended : he crin ioanded,Magistrates and Judges, and attributed a power to the former, which was vetted chiefly in clip' latter. He dwelt,. with much force, on the hardship .of: having the personal liberty of the subject limited to particular hours—but be ne• glected to inquire into the manner in which the constraint, of Which he complained, was exercised. If he had taken the trouble to enter a little deeper into tfte subject, and to ascertain the prac tical operation of this. law, he would have found, that it produced no privation or embarrassment to the well-disposed part of the commonity—thAt it obstructed the lawful avocations of no individual where it was exercised—and that it was only ad ministered to deter the lawlesi ruffian front mur der and midnight spandril), by compelling him to remain within his dwelling, when it could an. swer no necessary or serviceable purpose to he out of it. So far, then, as it was a grievance, Sir S. Romilly might have convinced himself, that his views of this law. were fallacions,.and his no tions of its rigour unfounded. With respect to its general character, he objects to it for placingnit unusual share of authority in the hands of the Irish Executive Government : but he can scarcely be ignorant, after ,all that has been said upOit the subject in Parliament, that this extraordinary power was not resorted to, until the ordinary effi cacy of the law was found to be totally insufficient, even to check the outrages and inroads which rus tic terocity had committed on t he peace of the coun try—not until the Magistrates of every disturbed portion of Ireland, had, • almost without an ex• ception, petitioned the Irish Government for pro tection triaiost a system of assassination and plun der, increased progressively. The records of Parliament would have shewn Sir S. Romilly all this—there he would have found' the able and satisfactory expOsition of Mr. Peel, which was introductory to the enactment of strong and vi-' gorous measures in Ireland, such as would pro tect the persons and property of the loyal and well-affected--which, if :he had not forgotten it, MOM live rendered him a convert to the necessity of the proceeding be condemned. There never was a case in ParliaMent more clearly established, than that Which called for some auxiliary vigour in the admiultaratiOn of the law in Ireland ; and we are persuaded there never was an act of - any Go -verinneut in this country, which has obtained more papttlarity, or been found more useful to the community, than that which has encountered the hostility of Sir S. RnftfillY• lii this °Pion . '" we have the concurrence of the great bulk of the Irish representation--of those who oppose, .as well as. of those who support, tire general measetres of the:Ministry. We give one instance -OU - sit John Newport, who, with u rnauliness.aud cant dour chat claim the esteem of his pOlitical oppo nents, as strongly AS of his friends, voted, fOr the continuauce.vt the Bill, convinced as he was of its imperative necessity. The opinions ut the Irish Members respecting questions of local policy in Ireland, must have much more weight than those of the best-informed representatives of the other parts of the Empire. Personal observation di• sects their judgnient—they have experience of the subjects they speak upon---they can go beyond .shstraet reasoning upon them---and, in the parti cular instaoce in question, they know , that the dis orders which have rendered it politic and fit to call out the powers of the Insurrection Act, have no connection whatever %via) religious diffvrenceto or dissentious, or with the political quallfications or diNnalifications of any class or classes, as Sir S. Ilomilly would have us to think is the case., lruWe have said more than was required by the argaments used against this 1E440.1c , to fli!pfrt its policy. Mr. Peel had replied fully to all that had been alleged against it, and left little ro be said by its advocates out of Pailiament. The Irish Members who supported his views of the question, have also the merit of being no inefficient " It will not he forgotten that the measure which preceded the enactment of the law to which we have adverted—namely, the Peace Preservation Bill, was tried, and found not to possess a remedy tantamount to the evil which it was intended to suppress, though it was armed with sonic share of extra vigour. The Ittsurreethm Law was there fore resorted to ; and wherever it has had such rifeet as to induce the Goerntueut to withdraw its operation, the former is found . ,a snflicient cor rective. Of the Peace Preservation We have said hefore, that it has laid the foundation of a system of Provincial Police, from which the best advantages may be expected. It has been found so salutary, and so effective in its general uppli cation—affording such security to the industrious and oNi!‘i Iy cla , ses of the community, that all the onieetaios and prejudices which at first existed against it, are -fast subsiding; and we are con vinced, that any-intention to render the Bill inope rative, would be heartl.of with • regret where its guardianship has been experienced. The dislike to hint) the score of its having imposed a species of taxation for the maintenance of u Police Esta tilishlueut,has given way, -in a very great throve, to the practical kno,viedge of its great utility--- and tnore.:especiallOince that-modification of the Law, which enxbieti Ise- Lord •Lieutenant - toToy a portion of the • charge. out of the public Trea y. p 4 4,444- er, ..,,, e .i t ~ ~,,,!3ttnnlnce I, b'', , lct lii I'4ll d i ' Llteititllndire irt N t i t ' il4 inA', from 1, 4ilutte or, li ,0 1 H •t 1 u lSti once ) b est t .., , ~ IL, f fletvil H felli - w h o • O f t' ,•''' '' ln t.,..'t led tc) 014 0 '"PYcitti r:: t i''"ri'lls I-- ,11, • , ►4, tE 4 , , ,, -- 1., ;it 1T, 41 ''`g *ri D i er d o 4 11 - Y' thiYtann 4,1, , , 0. 4 Winp Pt i a 4 ne illi ' INnmb e 11 ce Ti le Su " 1 al IP ', 4 .4 k 11 1 :: . ::: 1 11 1 ; t til ,) atiilPPleth'enttltiti id .i4 4 : 1.3 t, ad s li . t j 111 44" cl 91 Cha tttry vr r rt tre ie. li F I A RROL 1, , . 1• 1 ,.;•Iit the L el All . .
