There are various reme dies for the grievances of which he complains.

We then openly declared to the world that our professions of sympathy with the oppressed negro race had been all along a sham. Our philanthropy was not of that stern kind which would bear up against the imposition of a penny extra upon a pound of sugar or of treacle; and the once voluble spouters in conventicles, who had pictured the unhappy black as exclaiming, "Am I not a man and a brother ?" discovered that they could swallow the foreign commodity, though raised beneath the lash of the Cuban and Brazilian driver. The London. Times was amongst the foremost to de nounce protection to the West Indian body, denuded though they had been of their labour by the hypo critical pretences of the British public ; and that organ has at length had to confess that the experi ment thus tried has been ruinous to the West Indian sugar planter, and to the negro himself, the object of our sympathising care. In his publication of Wednesday last, speaking of the condition of Jamaica, our contemporary says : " The average produce of sugar from the island for the five years ending 1843 was 42,453 hogsheads, and the value £1,213,214 ; the average produce for the five years ending 1851 was 41,678 hogsheads, with a value only of £808,238, showing an inconsiderable diminution in supply, but a most material reduction in price. In fact, whereas the hogs`r.ead of sugar for the 20 years previous to 1843 usually realised £2O, its yield since 1846 has descended to £l3, exhibiting a depreciation of more than one-third. Nor is the other side of the sheet less remarkable, for the substitution of paid work for slave labonr, especially under the influence of a legislation determined wholly by the presumed interests of the labourer to the prejudice of his employer, has naturally augmented the costs of produc tion, so that when, as appears in a recent " Statement of Facts relative to the Island of Jamaica," we find it de declared that sugar has been lately exported at a positive loss, there seems nothing absolutely incredible in the assertion. The truth is, that the question, always suffi ciently complicated, has been now embarrassed by the introduction of a new element. Beet-root sugar, under the stimulus of protective duties, is in such compulsory demand on the continent that foreign sugars are almost superseded. The amount, therefore, of this commodity heretofore absorbed by European markets is thrown into the English ports, and, added to the imports from our eastern possessions, is producing extraordinary lowness of prices. At these prices it is said to be very questionable whether any cultivator can realise a profit, and it is argued, from obvious reasons, that in this race of insol vency the slaveowner, with a capital already sunk, will outlast the free producer, and eventually secure for him self that very monopoly of the British markets which our own colonists were made to surrender. Thus much for the prospective fate, not only of the West Indian planter, but the home consumer." Thus above £400,000 per annum the proprietors of Jamaica alone have surrendered, to appease the clamour of the Free-trade party for cheap sugar. And the result to the poor negro has been equally disastrous. We were told that the British sugar colonies were to be the paradise of the race. Civili zation and Christianity were from them to be at length introduced into Africa itself, and the great problem to be thus solved which has perplexed the humane amongst mankind for ages past. Upon this feature of the subject the Times candidly admits its disappointment : " From all the information which reaches us, no less than from the visible probabilities of the case, we are constrained to believe that these hopes have been falsified. The negro has not acquired with his freedom any habits of industry or morality. His independence is little better than that of an uncaptured brute. Having accepted few of the restraints of civilization, he is amenable to few of its necessities ; and the wants of his nature are so easily satisfied, that at the current rate of wages he is called upon for nothing but fitful or desultory exertion. The blacks, therefore, instead of becoming intelligent hus bandmen, have become vagrants and squatters, and it i 3 now apprehended that with the failure of cultivation in the island will come the failure of its resources for instructing or controlling its population. So imminent does this consummation appear, that memorials have been signed by classes of colonial society hitherto stand ing aloof from politics, and not only the bench and the bar, but the bishop, clergy, and ministers of all denomi nations in the island, without exception, have recorded their convictions that, in the absence of timely relief, the religious and educational institutions of the island must be abandoned, and the masses of the population retro grade to barbarism." What will be the course taken by the Times, in the event of its being proposed to adopt a protective policy towards our sugar colonies, we shall not attempt to prophecy. Were our contemporary consistent, his powerful advocacy ought to be enlisted on the side of protection to the produce of free labour in those colonies.

DISCOVERY BY THE TIMES OF MARES NESTS AT BURY HAD HORACE lived in the days of newspapers, he certainly would have described the just man firm of purpose, as disregarding even the attacks of the periodical press The civi cum ardor pravu juben- tium could not have been more influential in mis- leading a weak and vacillating public man in the old time, than is the declamation of the factious Statesmen, and all empire would scarcely find time to take account of their shouts, their placards, or their rosettes. They were sig nally mistaken. Not immediately after the election, but on the 23rd of July, after ample time given, and no doubt used, to communicate with Lord Derby, they were each of them served with the usual notice by Thomas Statter, agent on behalf of Lord Derby. to quit their tenements at the ensuing week." So far the prosecutor ! But audi alteram partem ? From Mr. STATTER'S before-mentioned letter, it appears, in the first place, that Lord DERBY'S first of the circumstances referred to in this charge must have been obtained from the article in the Times, which contained it; and, in the second place, that his lordship had not expressed to his agent, nor to any one as far as he knew, any predi lection in favour of either candidate. It next ap pears that the oppressed and injured triumvirate but three stalls in the new market, a spaciousbuilding erected by his lordship, used as a public market for the town of Bury, and regulated by act of Parliament. On theevening of Saturday, the day after the election (itbeing market- day), several persons, profess mg to be respectable, went round the market and pointed out to the country people the stalls of the electors who had voted either for Lord Duncan or Mr. Peel, recom mending them to purchase from the one class and to abstain from dealing with the other. Several tradesmen exhibited tickets and party badges on and about their stalls, and by shouting and party cries tried to induce purchasers to deal exclusively with themselves. Much injury was done to individual tradesmen, and large quan tities of meat remained unsold. The clerk of the market remonstrated with the parties, and afterwards consulted with me. I directed him to warn them that if such con duct were persisted in, we should be compelled to give them notice to quit, and it was decided to wait another week, in the hope that the objectionable practices would be discontinued. Our expectations were in some degree real'zed ; for on the following Saturday only the three parties named by you, Rathmel, Burrows, and Entwistle (so far as I can learn), persisted in their former course. On that day, more than a week after the termination of the election, Rathmel persisted in the use of party cries, and in disturbing the market. On being reasoned with by the clerk of the market, he refused to discon inue them. nd on On the same day Burrows wore a party badge being requested to take it off refused to do so, and swore he would wear what he liked, and do as he liked. Entwistle had hung up at his stall a list of electors, show ing for whom each had voted. The clerk desired that, as it was a party sign, he would take it down, which he flatly refused. In consequence of this course of conduct on the part of Rathinel, Burrows, and Entwistle, the notices to quit were given to them, according to the general intimation previously given." - - - Mr. STATTER further declares that, on this sub ject, he did not think it necessary to consult Lord DERBY at all, and that the whole responsibility rests on him alone. Who will dare to say that Mr. STATTER did not act well and wisely ? Such are the facts upon which " the leading journal" founds a charge against her Majesty's chief adviser, of having, "in the most public and noto rious manner, exhibited his contempt for the rights of the elector, and set an example to his orderwhich those who wish for its speedy and violent extinction will do wisely to follow." When the Times brings fresh charges against the Premier, it will be sufficient answer to say—" R emember the Bury Election." THE POLITICS OF BEDLAM WERE any one to seriously propose that the inha bitants of Bedlam, and the other lunatic asylums of the kingdom, should be represented in Parliament by members of their own choosing, peoi in all probability, be ill-natured enough to suggest that the proposer of the scheme ought at once to be qualified as a voter under it. Nevertheless, in sober sadness, we are almost forced to believe, from the records of recent events in Ireland, that ordinary lunatics are quite as competent to exercise the pri- vilege of the electoral franchise, and are likely to conduct election proceedings with at leas intelligence, reasonableness, consistency and pro- persons engaged in public affairs, must make up their minds to bear with insult, misrepresentation, ridicule, and invective from the less scrupulous organs of their rivals. The latitude conceded to the newspaper in its comments upon men and events, certainly ought not rashly to be contracted ; since the fear of public exposure will restrain classes of men from the commission of improprieties, who would otherwise be without any check on their conduct. But, on the other hand, the abuse of the liberty granted by public opinion to the press de• serves the severest reprobation ; and nothing is more offensive to a generous and truly liberal or seems more indicative of the cowardice of con scious weakness, than the virulent abuse, the de clamatory denunciations, and the unscrupulous misstatements in which certain public journals in dulge against their adversaries in politics. That Lord DERBY should have become the subject of the most bare-faced misrepresentation, with a por tion of the newspaper press,—that his character should have been maligned, his language misrecited and misconstrued,—that his conduct should have been placed in the most odious light, is nothing more than must have been anticipated by every one acquainted with the tone of the leading organs of the Opposition. Our readers must often have heard of the instruc tions given to counsel on behalf of a defendant in an action at law. "In case there is no defence, counsel will therefore please to abuse the plaintiff's attorney." The anti-ministerial press seems to be acting on similar directions. In reading some of the diatribes which have lately been launched in the columns of daily and weekly contemporaries at the noble Earl at the head of the Government, we have been constrained to believe that the writers have selected from their pigeon-holes certain treasured common forms, descriptive of political profligacy, immorality, mendacity, corruption, and incon sistency, and filled up the blanks with the name of Lord DERBY. The high tone of public morality assumed by some of the journals, is indeed truly ridiculous to any one who has had ever so small a peep behind the scenes. When " The Thunderer" of Printing-house-square, in particular, plays at indignant virtue, and takes "the high line" in moral didactics, we can scarce refrain from. thinking of the old proverbial description of the demureness of a lady of easy virtue at a christening. The seven cardinal sins, of which folk may be guilty in their private and individual capacity, seem to make but a sorry catalogue, compared with the variety of transgressions of which the Times accuses Lord DERBY in his public capacity. Any vindication of the spotless probity, the high honour, the scrupu lous truthfulness, the manly candour, the unflinch ing firmness, the unshaken consistency of the noble Earl would be all but an insult. Still we may con cede that his Lordship is fallible, that he may have erred, may have made mistakes, or been guilty, of over-sights. It is, therefore, worth while to exa mine some of the charges made against him, in order to ascertain the general trustworthiness of his accusers. The Times of Tuesday last was unusually "strong" on the subject of the ejection, by Lord DERBY'S Agent, of three persons named RATIIMEL, BUR* Rows, and ENTWISTLE, from their holdings in the market of Bury, after the recent election. This mighty "censor morum" and castigator of public delinquents had no hesitation in declaring that the Premier had, " In the most public and notorious manner, exhibited his contempt for the rights of the elector, and set an ex ample to his order, which those who wish for its speedy and violent extinction will do well to follow." It will be remembered by our readers, that the contest at the Bury election was between Mr. FRED. PEEL and Lord DUNCAN, both of whom were de clared opponents to Lord DERBY'S Government. Now the first specific charge made against his lordship was, that during the election, his agent, Mr. STATTER, " Had set the worst possible example to the people, and done all he could to ir.flarne their passions, by lend ing the Town-hall (of Bury), which appears to be Lord Derby's property, to the supporters of Mr. Peel, and denying the same courtesy to the friends of Lord Duncan." A most notable charge truly 1 Lord DERBY'S agent had " done all he could to inflame the pas sions" of the people, (against Lord DERBY,) by lending the Town-hall to one of Lord DERBY'S opponents, and not lending it to another ! But how do the facts stand ? Why, the agent in question, Mr. STATTER, has stated the following circum stance in a letter to the editor of the Times : " Although possessing very large property in the bo rongh, Lord Derby has never, from first to last, in the slightest degree interfered, directly or indirectly, in the late election ; he has never expressed to me, nor, so far as I know, to anyone else, any preference for one of the candidates over the other ; as his agent, I have never canvassed a single person, or taken any part, and although I have a vote for the borough, I did not even record it. " The Town-hall is a handsome and extensive range of buildings, erected at the sole expense of the Earl of Derby, and it is used for lectures, balls, and concerts, and for other public purposes. On former occasions, and long before the erection was thought of, T had expressly stipu lated that no persons should be allowed to enter the room in " clogs" (the thick wooden-soled shoes, often shod with iron, which are worn by the working-classes in this district,) by which much damage was done to the floors, walls, and stairs. On the first occasion on which I allowed Mr. Peel's committee to hire the room, so much injury was done in this way that I determined not again to let it for public political meetings ; and, on a second appli cation from the same party, I refused permission, until the chairman assured me that the meeting was to be a private one, and that admission was to be by ticket only, and also personally undertook to make good any damage which might be done to the premises. Lord Derby knew. and to this moment knows, nothing of the permission or refusal." So much for the Premier's attempt to inflame the passions of the people. But, then, there is the main charge of the tyrannical expulsion of the recalcitrant triumvirate RATILM EL, BURROWS, and ENTWISTLE. The indictment on this charge is to the following effect : " It chanced that the Earl of Derby was possessed of three small houses in New Market, Bury, tenanted by an elector named James Rathmel, butcher, and two non electors, John Burrows, a confectioner, and Thomas Entwistle. These men had all offended grievously in the election. The first was guilty of calling out Duncan for dis tasteful thetoh t second ee hungpelp a u t. p ty i n ; h a i n s d shop e a third list of adorned voter s hs person with a Duncan rosette.

It is high time now that the sane portion of the community of the three kingdoms should be solemnly asked, through their representatives in Parliament, whether the consti tutional privilege of the electoral franchise is to be allowed to continue a dangerous delusion, a bitter mockery, and an inevitable snare, to a very consi derable proportion of the population—whether such scenes as those lately witnessed in the county Clare and elsewhere, are to be sanctioned by the silence of the legislature—whether the political and social privileges of a considerable portion of the people are to be forfeited to a band of the most ignorant, the most superstitious, the most barbarous and reckless all nations of the globe—one acknowledged by interna tional law ; and if for many years our successive Govern ments have neglected to protect their fellow-subjects as France and the United States always protect theirs, both in America and in the Channel, we can only be grateful . . to our present ministers for repairing their fat both here and acros the public have been most grossly mis the Atlinti A YANKEE'S OPINION OF THE IRISI I Am Amer Iwho E..

THE accounts received from Ireland within the last few days leave no doubt upon the public mind that the rot amongst the potato crop in that country is rapidly spread ing. It is admitted, however, that a larger quantity than usual has been sown this year; and, considering that the population who depend upon it has been sensibly de creased, it is to be hoped that a moderate price may still be maintained. The Dublin Telegraph of Wednesday gives the most hopeful account which we have yet seen : " It is a mistake to suppose, as many alarmists have already done, that the loss by the potato crop will be any- Priests, who, in the name of any, even the worst religion that ever scourged humanity, has brought the minds and bodies of men under the influence of their unholy tyranny. Men who directly—or by indirect means, more exciting and effectual, perhaps, than the most direct and immediate—cause and pro cure others to defy and break the laws of the land, are rebels and traitors. Why should we mince the matter ! Why should we not declare, what all the calm and important observers of passing events are obliged to believe, that, in some cases to the very letter of the law, and in many cases to its spirit, the political Priests of Ireland have recently been rebels and traitors to the Government under which they live, and to which:they owe the privilege they are so unworthy to possess, and so determined to abuse. The brutal ferocity of the mob at Six-mile bridge, in the county Clare, which led to the loss of six lives by the fire of the military in self-defence, after great suffering and forbearance on their parts, was clearly attributable to sacerdotal influence. Had there previously been any doubt upon the sub ject, it must have been removed by the address of Rev. Mr. QUADE, P.P., at the official declaration at Ennis, some time after the occurrence of the sad tragedy by which the cause of law and order was vindicated at Six-mile-bridge. We cannot forbear from giving an extract from the report of this speech, since it is admirably adapted to illustrate the meekness, forbearance, wisdom, knowledge, and charity of those saintly men who " direct" the souls, and tyrannise over the minds and bodies of our Roman Catholic brethren in Ireland : "The rev, gentleman proceeded to say that, if any landlord should attempt to persecute any of the electors for the manner in whi Ai they voted, he (to wit, the afore said Mr. Quade) would use every exertion to raise a per secution against those landlords such as they would feel. He also recommended Colonel ITANDELEUR (the Conser vative candidate) not to try a petition." [Oh ! reverend SWING !] " 1 regret to find, continued the reverend orator, soaring at once to the congenial high latitudes of vulL'ar Hibernian rhetoric, " that in rotten Kilrush—rot ten heart and soul—rotten body and bones—rotten in every grade (?) in it—the only black spot 'in the county of Clare ;—rotten as Kilrush is, root and branch, I regret that Orangeism has attempted to raise its monster head in it ; and as it did, I say, Orange, lie down !' (Cheers.) I say, [here the rev. gentleman trampled on the platform] Orange, keep down .' (Loud cheers.) And more than that, [our readers will mark the climax] I say, Orange, you must keep down ! (Vociferous cheering.) And now I make—what do you call those animals that can live both on land and in water ?—(a voice, " amphibious") —aye, I make the amphibious Colonel and Admiral a present of rotten Kilrush—rotten body and bones—church and state—aye, even to the chapel of it. Let him have them all—body and bones ! It has been suggested to me that it would be better, in future, to add Kilrush as a polling place for New York, as being the next town west of it, in order that such a black damnable spot may be wiped from the map of our country." If BEDLAMITES may not elect members of par liament, should Father QUADES be allowed to mount the hustings ? If Irish-Roman Priests be ever sane, election times don't seem to be their lucid intervals. Would it not be charitable towards those unhappy men, as well as a necessary and wise precaution for the safety and welfare of the body politic, if the Legislature should direct that all Roman Catholic Priests, who cannot refrain from interfering in mat ters political, should be obliged, during the con tinuance of political contests, to pay cooling visits to the monasteries of LA TRAPPE ? OUR NORTH AMERICAN FISHERIES OUR Whig-Radical contemporaries appear to be "hard up" for grounds of complaint against the Government of Lord DERBY. Amongst the petty matters fished up for the purpose of injuring the Cabinet, the Manchester Guardian, of Wednesday last, has taken advantage of the movement made by the Colonial Secretary to prevent the invasion, by American freebooters, of the fishing grounds of our transatlantic colonies. Our contemporary ap pends to the heading of his article "The cloven foot of Protection ;" and insinuates, that it is likely that a rupture with the United States will be the consequence of the steps taken by the British Go vernment. It is clear, however, that we possess a right, by treaty, to the fishing grounds in question ; and Mr. WEBSTER, in his official letter, the substance of which was given in our last, confesses the fact. If we are to tolerate every invasion of our rights by the American people, for the sake of preserving a market for the cotton-spinners of Manchester, we had better at once recognise the peace doctrines of JOHN BRIGHT, and hand over our colonies to the first bully that demands them. The Hon. DANIEL WEBSTF:R would, no doubt, make an excellent " ticket" for the Presidency out of a cry for the annexation of our territory in the Bay of Fundy. In reference to this question, the Morning Herald of yesterday says : " Her Majesty's Government have made no new claims on the United States, and have withdrawn no concessions made to that Government. No renewal of the long-vexed question respecting the Bay of Fundy has been mooted. Lord Aberdeen's concession of 1845 respecting that ar m of the sea (guarded as it was by his lordship by an asser tion of our rights over the whole bay) remains where it, was. The disputed interpretation of the te c h n i ca l terms of the treaty of 1818 remains where it was. All that has been cone bi the Government. is to strengthen our squadron on the coast of Newfoundland, Nova Scotia, and New Brunswick, to defend a right w hi c h the United States do not, and neverdid, disp u t e — namely, that of retaining exclusively in our possestion the water within three miles of our own shores froirl' the encroach. ments of both French and the American fishermen • and the American vessel, the Coral, all u d e d to, was seized within a quarter of a mile of our own coast. Our squa dron is now no larger than the F renc h one on the same coast:. Our right is that which demands the respect of thing like as bad as it was in the year 1846. Since 1846 a great improvement has taken place in the planting of the potato. It was this year planted a month earlier than it was in 1846, and the disease did not appear until about ten days later, so that there has been an advantage of about six weeks gained, and that, too, when a considerable quantity has been planted—quite sufficient, it is belived, for the population, now so thinned since 1846 by famine and emigration. As to the other crops—wheat, oats, tur nips, &c.—an abundant harvest is calculated upon. A correspondent of the same paper, writing from Meath, gives, however, a more gloomy statement. He says : " There is no use in concealing any longer the melan choly fact that the potato crop, as far as I can ascertain, is doomed. I have myself the most unmistakeable evidence of a general blight in my own potatoes, much worse than it was last season. lam afraid there will not be near the qltantity of potatoes there was even last year, although there was a much larger quantity of them sown ; but the visitation of this very mysterious epidemic is much earlier, and a larger quantity of potatoes later sown, this season. The tubers were scarcely formed on the late crops when the disease attacked them ; so there will be no potatoes unless where they were sown early." From Newry, it is stated that " the blight is exceptional rather than general." From Clonmel, it is confessed that " the potato is going, if not faster, at least as quick as it did when attacked by the disease in the ever memorable year 1846;" and notwithstanding the greet - breadth sown, it is doubted that one-half of them can be saved. In Tip perary and Waterford the same complaints are made; and the disease appears to be especially virulent in the northern counties. In Clare the loss is aggravated by the fact that the people appear to have confined their sowings to the potato, neglecting the cultivation of turnips altogether. The result has been to give a great impetus to emigration. From Galway it is said : " The people only appear bent on leaving the country as fast as they can. It is lamentable to see men fleeing from the land of their nativity as from a pest house. The young, and the strong, and the vigorous, ay. and many of the compartively wealthy, too, are thronging to the emi. grant ships. On yesterday morning no fewer than 200 souls left this neighbourhood by train for Dublin, en route to America." We may add, that on this aide of the channel the blight has made considerable ravages; but not to an extent to threaten us with very high prices. THE FINANCE COMMITTEE AND THI LIVERPOOL TRADESMEN. THE discussion at the Council meeting on Wednesday last, upon the subject of the administration of the Weights and Measures Act, was not one which is calculated to add to the popularity of the Finance Committee. A large body of tradesmen complain that they are oppressed by the carrying out of a hobby of the Corporation. That body has constituted itself a trading body. it levies upwards of a thousand a-year upon the unfortunate shopkeepers of the town ; and, whilst doing so, assumes that they are ha bitually dishonest and knavish. Yet it does not succeed in reforming a single practical grievance. The most ab surd nicety in the adjustment of weights and scales is insisted upon ; and still the dishonest can give short weight. The extremely "artful dodger" is generally the party whose name is never found in the list of Mr. FELL's informations. We are ourselves advocates of the most severe measures being taken to put down dishonesty. The possession of an unjust balance, or weight, for the de liberate purpose of cheating, ought to be punished se verely. But it is preposterous that respectable tradesmen should be annoyed as they are at present, for the purpose of wringing from them adjustment charges, one half of which are utterly uncalled for. As the effect of the resolution of the Finance Commit tee, to perpetuate the present system of exaction, we can perceive results not at all calculated to promote that good feeling which ought to exist between the constituent body and its representatives. If the Council, through their of ficer, Mr. FELL, insist upon being traders, they must do business at the same charge that private traders are will ing to do it for. It is too bad that a public officer should be the arbiter in all matters connected with buying and selling, and at the same time be allowed to levy black mail upon the uarortunate individuals whom he chooses to select as offending against his arbitrary dictatorship. If we are to have correctness to the amount of " the smallest portion of a human hair," in a bargain, let us have it as cheaply as possible. We object to tariffs for adjustment, such as that laid down by the Finance Com mittee, which is about four times as much as ordinary tradesmen would charge. IRISH NOTIONS OF " CIVIL AND RELI. GIOUS LIBERTY." Our triends on the other side of the Channel have some peculiar views as to the responsibility of a man entrusted with the franchise. A correspondent of the Waterford Mail says : " The . names of all those electors i n Kill ea par i s h , fifty-two in number, who voted for Hutchinson (many of whom split for Power), were placarded through Water ford, and inserted as an advertisement in the News. The priests denounced them from the altar at both masses on Sunday week; their children, who were learning the ca techism preparatory to confirmation, were turned out of the chapel by the priest, and told that they would not be confirmedfor Christmasbylocefttihoonsefowrhoourvocitteyd, have been also placarded, and denounced " black sheep." The wife of a respectable . innkeeper in the west of this county was taken to her private room and placed on the or Barron , bopa Thet t he n late e e s her knees, by Father -, who made her promise not to lie in the same bed with her husband fora twelvemonth and a day, if he voted for Hutchinson." There will surely be an end by and bye of this spiritual tyranny. It can only exist amongst a people half civi lised. Another case has occurred in which a priest—the Rev. Michael Coglan—has obtruded himself upon the public as correspondent of a landed proprietor, Mr. W. B. Smythe. The rev. gentleman says to Mr. Smythe : " You seem to expect that your tenants owe you, besides the toil of their bodies, and the sweat of their brows, and their rents, their souls to boot. So tLat your idea of a tenant is ' that he should be the slave o f a " 49 s ut o t u toa we the task master, have n o free will, and go body Devil if hi s l an d lord tells h i m so t o do. say of Protestantism after this ?" The description is excellent, if we substitute the priest far the landlord. The priest's " idea of a tenant" cer tainly is that "he should be the slave of a t have no free will, and go body and soul to the d ids [priest] tells him so to do." Very properly, _ Smythe forewarns the Rev. Firebrand that, for every out rage committed by Roman Catholics upon his Protestant tenantry, a Roman Catholic tenant shall be evicted. Such a process will probably teach the Irish people a les. son as to who are their real friends—a ruffian priesthood or indulgent landlords, master
