that grow in the earth. I shall endeavour to '
make them sincere, and good, and moral Chris-
tians, sincere observers of the laws of GOD and of
the land." He hoped the day was coming when
Irish Ecclesiastics would take less part in politics
than they had hitherto done. Little good was de-
rived from it, and closer attention to their re-
ligious duties would be a more pleasing duty in
the sight of GOD than mixing themselves up with
politics. "Oh ! si sic oranes." It is, however,
refreshing to hope, with Lord CAMPBELL and
Mr. KENNY, that a better era is commencing both
of Irish Landlordism and Irish Priestism. The ne-
glected duties of the former, and the overdone duties
of the latter have been fertile causes of Irish diffi-
culties. Circumstances, however, especially emi-
gration and a better proprietary, together with
the usual reaction against overstrained zeal, are
diffusing a tone of moderation amongst the majo-
rity of the community, which we may hope will,
in no long time, gain the entire ascendancy.
Lord CAMPBELL dealt as honestly with them on
the subject of religion as on every other ; and
while expressing the most tolerant and noble
views of religious liberty, he plainly told them of
his strong repugnance to the Ultramontanism of
some amongst them, a repugnance which, he re-
minded them, their Catholic ancestors would have
fully shared with him. " I am," said he, " for
equality in all religious persuasions, but shall be
always opposed to ascendancy. (Great cheering.)"
He pointed out -with equal faithfulness, the injus-
tice of the suicidal opposition to the Queen's
Colleges, the purity of the motives of the Govern-
ment in establishing them, and the great advan-
tage to their children of giving them an education
which would open to them the path to the highest
offices of the State.

We trust this hearty, wise, and manly address
will produce an impression on the whole country.
It is but too seldom, as Mr. KENNY observed in
the opening speech, that landlords, especially
landlords of such rank, thus mingle with their
tenantry in Ireland ; and we share with him his
hope that the day would prove an epoch in mo-
dern (Irish) landlordism. Nothing anywhere can
compensate for a cordial understanding between
landlords and agricultural tenants ; and we are
happy to have the testimony of Lord CAMPBELL
from personal observation, that even in the " far
West" of Ireland the signs of diminishing religi-
ous animosity and increasing agricultural improve-
ment are everywhere visible. This betokens that
landlords and tenants are getting right, and Lord
CAMPBELL has done his best to expedite the pro-
cess.
