DUBLIN, MAT 22.
Whatever might be said u to the popular feeling
in this country on any other question, there can be
no doubt that it is perfectly alive on the subject of
tenant:right. Meetings are held in every corner of
the land, and meetings, too, which no one can say are
packed by the influence of priest or demagogue, for
the people cone thronging to them by their own im-
pulse, and show that they feel their vital interests,
and the interests which they can best understand are
at stake. There appears to be no opposition what-
ever to the movement. However men may differ on
some matters of detail, no one denies the necessity for
adjusting the relations of landlord and tenant in a dif-
ferent spirit from that in which they have hitherto ex-
isted in Ireland. The landlord newspapers have not an
argument to urge; and the whole current of public
opinion is suffered tranquilly to take its course. Still
men are aware that a great deal remains to be done,
and that the legislature is yet to be convinced and
instructed. Those who have undertaken the task of
preparing the way for the approaching conference are
not idle ; and it may be expected that many of the
details which place obstacles in the way of unanimity
will be satisfactorily arranged by the suggestions
which they will be prepared to offer. It is admitted
that the tenant-right deputation to London have
rendered very valuable services. The statements
prepared by them, and submitted to the consideration
of the government, contain the pith and marrow of
all that can be said on the subject, and it is hoped
that they will not be without effect on the
views -entertained by the minister. One of these
statements—that presented to Lord John Russell by
Mr. Wilson Grey and Mr. Francis Maguire, and em-
bracing the objections to Sir William Somerville's
bill, as it affected the compensation question, and was
best understood in the southern and western pro-
vinces—appears in the Freeman's Journal of this
morning. The other statement, submitted by the
northern meinbers of the deputation, and dwelling
chiefly on the necessity and justice of establishing the
Ulster custom by law, has been also published in the
same columns. Is the former document, among the
objectionable features which it is shown would be
fatal to the efficiency of the government bill, it is
urged that the bill does not even profess to offer ad-
vantage to any tenants except those who are already
possessed of considerable realised capital; that it will
not permit the farmer to improve gradually from
year to yam; and that in providing for permanent
improvements only, it ends where the English claim
for tenant right begins, as the permanent improve-
ments enumerated by the bill are all supplied in Eng-
land by the landlord himself'.
