,4 A PALTRY PRESS."

These be hard lines, as the sailors say, but " non nester hie
sermo."

It will now, we imagine, be admitted that something i the
shape of an able and honest Journal is required to " stop the
gap." To put such an intellectual vehicle upon the road, we
think, would be considered Quixotic, even by so speculative and
excellent a judge of such matters as Mr. Peter Purcell. " A
Party is necessary," exclaim the Tory parson, and the Liberal
placehunter, "or else you will reckon but few readers." Upon
this point we join issue, and hope, for the honour of civilized
humanity, that as the Irish public maintain a sufficient number
•f newspapers to tell them falsehood, they will vouchsafe to sup-
port •na which, at all risks, is determined to announco to them
the truth.

" All that mortal art bath wrought,
In our cell returns to nought ;
Tho molten gold returns to clay,
The polish'd diamond melts away.
All is altered, all is flown—
Nought stands fast but truth alone."
In Polities we shall be Radicals, and devoted to the People,
utterly regardless of the smiles or frowns of the select and
interested few. Such a course, we know, is always perilous
and often profitless—
" Hard is his task who edits—thankless job—
A weekly journal for the factious mob ;
Alike undone, or if he praise or rail ;
For this affects his safety, that his sale :
He sinks, at last, in luckless limbo set—
If loud, for libel—and if dumb, for debt."
We sha always be happy, when we can agree with those
men who, flowerer they may sometimes err, have rendered
efficient service, and made many sacrifices for the cause of
liberty; but w shall not advocate that wait-a-while policy
which holds out promises to suffering millions which are never
likely to be real.zed—
.. My father, Time, is weak and grey,
With waiting for a better day,"
We shall judge the Government by its acts, and shall oppose
&Premier, be he Whig, Tory, or Radical, when we find him
averse to the removal of the remnant of the Penal Code, which,
absurdly enough, forbids the appointment of a Roman Catho-
lic Chancellor ;—a Colonial Secretary. when be resists the
Ballot ;—or even so amiable and enlightened a Statesman as
the present Irish Secretary, when he seems half disinclined
gene-
rally happyrantan increase of popular privileges to the Irish people.
Conscientiously believing that Ireland never can become
and contented until she again has the advantage
of a DOA ESTIC LEGISLATURE, we shall persevere, by
arguments and facts, to advocate the
E OF THE UNIO,
as not more beneficial
E AL
to Ireland than tho Sister Kingdom.
We will bring into the field the heavy artillery of reason,
aided by the light brigade of wit and humour. We shall be
staid with the steady, and mirthful with the light-hearted. "the even tenor of our
way," we shall " run on
glittering like a brook in the sunshine,"
From grave to gay, from lively to severe."
The Statesman will find us political, and the Lawyer will
discover that we know a thing or two • the Physician shall
proclaim us lovers of the healing art • 'the Sportsman 'shall
m
learn that we can clear a untry with him. ‘, THE WORLD"
to the Lady of Fashion shall be as a Court gazette and the

Every number of " THE WORLD," in richness and v ariety

cils of the day.
