Popery Unmasked at the Recent Elections la
Ireland. By a Clergyman of the Established
Church. London Aylott and Co.
Tills is the best pamphlet, as far as our resoling
enables us to judge, which has been called forth
by the present state of Ireland, and the
outrages to which the recent elections have
given rise. The statements of the writer are
clear, his language is temperate, and no where
exceeds the limits of charity and courtesy.
We were at first inclined to tax him with
repetition ; but when we consider that the
evil ho combats springs up afresh, the
SUMO in a new form, in each StleeeShiVe
division of his subject, we am rather inclined
to praise the method with which he has al,
ranged his materials, and the skill with which lie
has avoided reiterating the same statements
and arguments. He agrees with Sir Francis
head, tutu all other witnesses who have recently
offered theirtestinit tal the subject,in pointing
out the religion of the Irish populace, or rather
the conduct of its ministers, as this cause more
or less immediate of almost all the social and
ills which so long have distmeted that
unhappy country, a conclusion which is not it
little strengthened by the evidence which is
daily taken before the eonnnittees on Irish
elections.
If the influence exercised Oil the returns by
the priesthood be no more than
is gitimutc,—if
it be desirable that the Chitral of Rome
should have her nominees in the Senate,—let us
at once, says our author (p. I substittne the
Rennin. Catholic directory for the list of the
voters ; let us avoid the demoralisation and
degradation of the present system ; let us not
perpetuate pedury, outrage, intimidation, and
revenge, by the idle attempt to keep up the
mockery of a pi Tulin. election.
Our author naturally contrasts the present at-
titude of the Irish priesthood with the promises
of their advocates at the tune of the Einanripa-
tion Bill. It is, indeed, superfluous to expose the
delusion under which the friends of religious
liberty then acted, or the insufficiency of the
safeguards which they imagined they had
