have been thwarted in this as in many former
instances, by the prudence and moderation of the
Irish Government. " The only way to stir up the

a fresh proof of the facility with which plans of
mischievous tendency they be defeated in Ireland,
by the timely application of prudent and moderate
measures. In fact after all the declamations of
party men, and all the exagerations of party-wri-
ters, the political squabble about the Irish Com.,
