LONDON :
FRID 'AY, OCTOBER 18, 1839.

We coT.:,le,a a paragraph yesterday from the
Obserr,er, stating that the heads of the Tories, and
not,ebly Sir ROBERT PEEL, had replied to some
rational Protestants of Ireland, who had implied
of him if the advent of the Tories to power was in
reality to be the signal of civil war in Ireland, that
there was no design of pushing the persecuting or
exterminating principle to the lengths to which
the ultras of the party at present carried it. Sir
ROBERT is said to have signified that it was neces-
sary for party purposes to keep up and encourage
the No Popery cry, but that it was not to be
made the basis of his policy, on returning to office.
This accords remarkably well with facts. Against
the base party No Papery outcry, which has been
howled at Exeter Hall, and reverberated by Bishops,
Deacons, ard Prebyters, from Penzance to Caith-
ness, Sir
_ROBERT PEEL has never said one word,
thoup,!l, as a party leader, he has profited by the
scandalous delusion. But as it is not probable
that the cold, calculating, expediency politician
would sanction the repeal of the Act he forsook
his party to carry, it seems very likely that he has
given assurances of this kind to his moderate and
apprehensive friends in Ireland. Mean and dis-
creditable as such low, shifting, intriguing, policy
is, no man can doubt that it is nobler, wiser, and
more magnanimous, than a course of brutal perse-
cution, provoking civil war on account of some
shadowy differences of opinion, concerning what
must of necessity be doubtful, if not unknown.
We gave the Observer, therefore, full credit for
the statement, and gave the praise of humanity and
thoughtfulness to Sir ROBERT PEEL, though at
the expense of party bigotry and party consistency.
The Tory papers, however, would not tolerate any
such belief. They disdained to allow the commu-
nity to suppose that Sir ROBERT PEEL is not as
ready to persecute the eight millions of Catholics
who are dispersed through the empire, as Parson
M‘GHEE, or Priest PHILLPOTTS. "We have,"
said the Times of Wednesday, distinct authority
to state that, so far as Sir R. PEEL is concerned,
there is not, and there has not been, the shadow
of a foundation for any part of the Observer's
statement." The Baronet, then, has never assured
the moderate men of his party that he is averse from
the persecuting, unsocial, diabolical principles of
those ultras who have been exerting themselves to
the utmost to kindle religious discord. He is
closely leagued with them. They have declared
that he can only come into power on con-
dition of repealing the Catholic Emancipation
Act ; others have declared that he has no
intention of adopting their violent principles ;
his partizans hasten to contradict this latter
assertion ; the former neither he nor they have
ever contradicted ; whence it is perfectly clear that
he is prepared to go the whole hog, and to take
office as the champion of the M‘GHEEs, the
STOWELLS, and the PHILLPOTTS. The de-
nial of the Times, made, as it says, on authority,
pledges Sir ROBERT to the ultra doctrines of the
bigots, and deprives the country of all reason
for expecting safe and moderate policy from the
Tories, whenever, for our misfortune, they shall be
restored to office.

The language of the Times tallies well with that
of the Journals of its party. An article in the
Quarterly Review, just published, speaks with
unmeasured contempt and indignation of the policy
pursued last Session by the Tory leader. In one
place it declares that principles—meaning ultra,
No Popery, and persecuting principles—should
be rigidly followed out at all hazards. In an-
other it blames the Conservatives for support-
ing the Ministers when the latter were defer,dine,
the Constitution from the attacks of the Radicals,
and insists on the necessity of the Tories never
voting with them, even when the Ministers take
Tory views. War to the knife against the Govern-
ment is the language of the Quarterly; and war,
stern and unforgiving war, to the leader or leaders
of the Tories who will not embrace and follow out
the anti social, unchristian, uncharitable, extermi-
nating policy which is now preached by the ultra-
Tory priests, and advocated by the ultra-Tory
scribes. The language of the Times and of the
Quarterly Revietu coincides, and while the latter
assures uiscyrt:vhta,hte w Sfeoirrremerdeclares
