Laxi)ox SATUIiDAE OCT. 14.
BAULKED of their hopes of an Irish rebellion, the
teries are labouring hard to get up a popish plot.
Their disappointments this year have indeed been
many and vexations. With revolutions abroad and
wide-spread discontent at home, the crop of mischief
has ken lamentably short lit vain they had be-
guiled the wi.igs into bowing broadcast the seeds of
aissatisfaction throughout the land. The anticipated
fruit h.is not been gathered. Chartism in England
would u t even come ; and though Clubbism ap-
peared in Ireland above the bathos for a few days, it
withered as sznedily away. The sickle of coercion
has been from week to week and month to month
held sharp and ready, but none urea scanty harvest
of conspiracy or outbreak 'Ms been found.
The latest, and we own one of the bitterest dia.
appointint.r.ts, which the advocates of martial law for
Ireland ha% c been doomed to puffer, has been the con-
victien of SMITH O'Biurm. They had made up their
humane minds to a failure of justice by the want of a
verdict. Whatever failure of justice there has been,
it has not been for want of unanimity amongst jurors,
or any manifestation on their part of favour or of fear.
If all who ought to have been upon the panel were
not praperly returned by the tory high sheriff of
Tipperary, there was at all (vents no default amongst
those who were celled on to appear in court in
answering to their names. And the twelve gentle-
men who were finally chueeu to try the question of
Mr. Oliatar's innocence or guilt, have inflicted a
heavy blow and great discoark;ernent on the liberal
and enlightened p ilicy recommended by the Standard,
the Economist, and the Ti,nte.
We feel for the friends of violence, and are dis-
peW, as best we may, to enter into their patriotic
feelings. Their suomes last session in thwarting
measures of redress, and in obtaining measures only
of coercion, bad kept alive their horn, and, in some
degree, counterbalanced their disappointments out of
doors. If neither Celts or Saxons would rise in re-
bellion, at least there was ground for hoping that the
irresolute whip might be lured still further into the
!quagmire of coercion next year. Preparations accord.
ingly were begun. Foch v Aeran was put on active service
and every recruit pat in requisition. The arbitrary acts
of General CATAIGNAC towards the press were
extolled and held op for Lord CLARENDON'S imitation.
No measures of the Irish executive, however prompt
and vigorous, were strong enough for the tory appetite
for severi tit. What signified the Lord-Lktitenant's efforts
to control fierce passions and curb rash discontent, if
be did not crush all spirit of resistance, and trample
down popular freedom . Did he lack weapons fur the
tyrannic work to which they would fain have goaded
or cajoled him ? They were ready to forge them for
him of all mute and sizes. The Quarterly would
build forts and vote garrisous without limit ; and the
minor joarnals had each a favourite implement or
missive on whose efficacy government might unhesi-
tatingly rely, and the use of which a conservative
parliament would readily sanction. All concurred in
the permanent suspension of the constitution in Ire-
land, and more especially of the dreaded and detested
right of trial by jury.
It was to this end that every occasion was seized
upon to create the false impression in the public mind
that jurors would not a...t when called upon in any
political ease, with firmness and fidelity. The con-
victims which have been had of MITCHEL, MARTIN,
doostm, and others under the recent Felony
Aet, and that of Satan O'Biume within
the last few days for high treason, render
this part of the anti-liberal scheme of tyranny
hopelea. If not another of the lunatics who raved
about Young Irelandisin should be found guilty,
enough has bees done to prove their imbecility in
mischief, and the upright steadfastness in loyalty
of those classes of society from whose ranks jurors are
taken. We think the jury law of Ireland needs cer-
tain amendments in detail, in order that the composi-
tion of that ancient and sacred popular tribunal may be
preserved pure and unsullied ; but of its general well-
working in Ireland we have as little doubt as of its
inherent worth and wisdom. Its introduction into
Ireland at an early period was one of the few benefits
for which the people of that country owe us any
obligation ; and assuredly it is one of the last rights
in common which it would become Englishmen to
aid in taking away. Lord STANLEY% attempt to do
so in 1833, was the knell of the whig regime; and
any similar attempt will assuredly prove equally fatal
to any government that is unprincipled enough to
make it.
For the moment staggered in this portion of their
schemes, the tarns have suddenly laid hold upon an-
other and equally notable device. If there was no
lay rebellion of which one can speak without laugh-
ing, there was at least a clerical conspiracy, which
only for something might hare proved no laughing
matter. National insurrection having ended in smoke,
it is resolved to strive to f m into a flame the expiring
embers of a popish plot. In one respect the project is
promiseful ; for whereas the elements of the torn- er
were necessarily numerous and out of reach, those of
the latter are all to he found at hand on this side of
the channel, consisting as they do of the credulity and
bigotry that still lurk in the darker places of the
land.
It is stoutly asserted now that the catholic clergy
were at the bottom of the Young Ireland scheme.
True they mailed its theories and denounced its chiefs
on every public occasion. Tree that they dubbed it
infidel, and scoffed at it as childish. True that the
ignominious expulsion of O'BRIEN from Limerick was
effected by a multitude instigated openly hy the
priests; and that the defeat of Mcaouna at Water-
ford election was accomplished by the unsparing in-
vectives of Father CuDDrnT and his brethren • true
that of the whole body of the priesthood hardly one
can be named as having participated in the machi-
nations of the clubs; and that finally, when
the insane and guilty attempt at disturbance was
made in last July, the catholic clergy of the districts
sought to be disturbed energetically and unanimously
devoted themselves to the protection of their flocks
from being entrapped into treasonable practices and
for the preservation of the public peace. AU this goes
foe nothing with the plot-fabricators. The Rev; Mr.
HUGHES, perishvioatest of Claremorris, once Upon a
time wrote a t and improper letter to the Nation,
and subsequently made a vehement speech at a
meeting of the League. The Rev. Mr. O'Sdnuare,
who is, we believe, unattached to any parish,
either* curate or priest, is said to have committed
like alieurdities ; and the well-known Father HEN-
TONI of Templcderry, is alleged to have acted
idmilittly. Then an informer, whose testimony has
been subsequently exposed as wholly undeserving of
