LONDON, THURSDAY, MARCH 13, 1862

Longford has called to itself, very naturally,
the attention of the Ballot Society—" With refe-
rence to the election, it rejoices that both candi-
dates were friends of the Ballot, and with regard
to the alleged coercion it would remind those who
complain of it, that they might long ago have

one party or another until the voters are properly
protected from such interference." We quite agree
with the Society, find much as we deprecate the
means resorted to by the winning party to obtain
success, we find a gleam of consolation in the Go-
vernment, which refuses to protect the voter, losing
the election, very obviously owing to the want
of protection. It is true Colonel WHITE would
have voted for the Ballot; but his chief would allow
him to do so only because there was no danger of
his vcte carrying the measure even in the Commons ;
and the two great Whig lords of the Cabilet, '
both hate liberation of voters from landlords' control,
and from the influence of the monied classes, not at
all less than the most confirmed Tories. We detest
the policy of the priests in this business, and we
are pleased to see that one of the most respectable
of the Roman Catholic journals in Ireland shares our
views. We think that policy both ungrateful and
suicidal. But the wrong doing of one man, in this
strange world, is often made the chastisement for
the wrong doing of another, and never more so
than in the present case.

Lord PALMERSTON and the old Whigs are con-
cerned only for landlord power,—they cling in heart
to the feudal right of landlords to tenants' services.
Two badges of the old feudal supremacy yet remain
—the Game Laws,and the law which enables a land-
lord to see to it that a tenant registers his vote for the
landlord's candidate at an election. The latter is as
precious as the former. Game is precious ; but not
less precious to be able to say, send for me my son,
my relative or any other nominee to the House of
Commons. Unluckily in Ireland there are lords in
faith as well as landlords, and an illiterate mone3 -
less priest is more absolute master of thousands of
voters than the man on whose lands they live. At
the dictation of their spiritual lords they will vote
as they are led, and browbeat, deter, and even
