OPENING THE CAMPAIGN IN IRELAND.
Freeman's Jammed announces, in a special telts
highly jubilant spirit, that " Ilr. Whiteside is too ter_..tw."
cellor of Ireland, and Judge 10eatinge, of the Poi!
Court, will be Lord Chief Justice." There is I'l'oolo
malignity in this backward shot. It would hary b!111
complete if Mr. Joseph Napier had been promo
gram to the Lord Justioeship of Appeal. The
Jourwal calculates upon the merest hint of the old elke,
being again raised to political power as a sure rosiee_l
uniting all Ireland against the new government. Vibirci
so great en error will be avoided. Mr. Whitesi. ,(16
