FROM TILE DAILY PAPERS OF YESTERDAY.
HERALD.—What Will Sir Robert Peel do a ith Ire-
land ? Driven from every point of attack on the new
Administration, the Whig-Radical journals fall back on
this question, and quote against the new Cabinet Sir
Robert Peel's candid admission on resigning office in
'1833—" Itry- chief difficulty was Ireland." Now this ad-
mission, be it remarked, was a qualified one: Ireland was.
Sir Robert Peel's chief difficulty ; but it did not, even in
1833, form an insuperable obstacle to his satisfactorily
carrying on the Government of the empire ; and even if
it did so then, it is wholly inconsequential to infer that
it will do so now. The fact is, that the difficulty of go-
verning Ireland has always been overrated by both par-
ties, and by the British people. It suits the views of a large
class of influential Irish politicians, of either division
of political opinion, to magnify the existing difficul-
ties in the way of good order and quiet in their country,
that their owu services may be the more .highly appreci-
ated by their Parliamentary and official leaders, and
their • own claims to place and preferment be the more
readily rewarded, while to the British people, ignorance
of the sister kingdom and " distance lend enchantment
to the view," and those difficulties, which in r Alley are
sufficiently serioue become in imagination g. g intic. The
obstacles to good government in Iseland may be great,
but they. are not, and cannot be, insuperable. Justice,
mercy, firmness, and determination, will govt ra any
country under the sun. What then will Sir Robert Peel do
with Ireland ? Govern it justly and firmly, and in strict
accordance with the principles of the British constitu-
tion.
To such 'government is Ireland entitled, and
to none other. The primary duty of the Irish, as of
every other people, is obedience to the powers that be ;
in return for sixlt obAinee they pre to protec-
tion from and equality in the eye of the law. nt the
.Irish people have no right, froth any pique of their. own,
or from the agitation and incitement of those in whom
they choose to place confidence, so to embarrass an Im-
perial Administration, as to deprive England and Scot-
land, and all the dependencies of the empire, of the ad-
vantages of that Government in favour of which they
have
,lately made such unequivocal . demonstrations.
Were it otherwise, the superior wealth, greater industry,
and the far higher intelligence of the British people
would be subservient to the ghostly confessor and pod-
tical agitators of the Irish nation, and the .linion, instead
of being a blessing to the United Kingdoms, would be an '
apparent good to Ireland and a real curse to Britain.
CHRONICLE.—" Ireland," said Sir Robert Peed,
Ireland will be my great difficulty," And a greater
difficulty it will prove too than even the Right Hon.
Baronet anticipated, when he made this memorable ad-
mission. Swift tells a story of a YOrkshireman in his
day, who, upon seeing a group of Irish pass his door,
could not repress his astonishment at finding them
" without tails." About as intelligent, we apprehend,
are the great mass of Sir Robert Peel's supporters, in
their appreciation of his " great difficulty." They will
find it something -eery different, indeed, irons what they
anticipated. Fel. a ' Tory Administration to govern Ire-
land must, under • any circumstances, be a task all but
insurmountable. The • people of that country. have
been so long accustomed to look upon the return of
the Tories to power as tantamount to a restoration
of the old ascendancy party, that, to prevent it, they
would hazard everything short of civil war. The old
expedients of resistance, within the bounds of the law,
but fatal to the supremacy of the law ; those startling
