" A PALTRY PRESS."

These be hard lines, as the sailers say, but " non nester hic
sernio."

It will now, we imagine, be admitted that something in 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
of newspapers to tell them falsehood, they will vouchsafe to sup-
port one which, at all risks, is determined to announce to them
the truth.

" All that mortal art hath wrought,
In our cell returns to nought ;
The molten gold returns to clay,
The polish'd diamond melts away.
All is altered, all is flown—

Nought stands fast but truth alone."
In Politics 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 shall always be happy, when we can agree with those
men who, however they may sometimes err, have rendered
efficient service, and made many sacrifices for the cause of
liberty ; but we shall not advocate that wait-a-while policy
which holds out promises to suffering millions which are never
likely to be realized—
" My father, Time, is weak and grey,
With waiting for a better day,"
We shall judge the Government by its acts, and shall oppose
aPremier, 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 he resists the
Ballot ;—or even so amiable and enlightened a Statesman as
the present Irish Secretary, when he seems half disinclined
to grant an increase of popular privileges to the Irish people.
Conscientiously believing that Ireland never can become gene-
rally happy and contented urtil she again has the advantage
of a DOMESTIC LEGISLATURE, we shall persevere, by
arguments and facts, to advocate the
REPEAL OF THE UNION,
as not more beneficial to Ireland than the 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.
Pursuing "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
learn that we

LAND, all persons having or claiming an interest in the SUM

Executrix of his will, who died in the year 1800. 1,250/. of
these Annuities are bequeathed by the will of the said William
Ireland in the following manner, viz.:—" I give and bequeath
unto my son William Henry Ireland, 6001. stock, after my wife's
decease. Also to my son Daniel Ireland, 6501. stock after my
wife's decease; the interest only for him to receive during life,
and after his decease to the issue he may leave ; but if he should
die without issue, then I give and bequeath the said sum of
650/. equally to be divided between such of my children as may
be then living at his decease ;" and the remaining 50/. of such
Annuities is not specifically bequeathed by his said will.
Dated the 24th day of July, 1839.
