England did not really mdsestand the true position of
the church in Ireland: could they be induced to view
the subject not as it appears to the jaundiced eye of
political prejudice, but salinly, dispenionately, thought-
fully, and without that vivarium which usually boosts
the English mind when Irish subjests are brought be-

clouds of misrepresentation which now surround It
would be cleared away, and the proverbial straight-
forwardoses and honesty of the Hagfish mind, would
render all the efforts of the ODINDieI oil the Irish °harsh

the unholy and unnatural alliance between the Banish
priests of Ireland and political dissenters el liegised to
