POST.—The Government have so frequently
changed their ground, that even now, although the
bill is actually printed, we should not be surprised
at hearing, on the motion for the second reading,
that its most distinctive clauses will be abandoned
in committee. The Ministry were entitled to have
their measure brought in and read, but it would
certainly have proved a saving of m•ucli valuable
time if it had received last night the quietus which
awaits it at its next stag.%
ADVERTISER.—The bill is based on household
suffrage. It is a measure for enfranchising all who
are rated for houses, no matter how small the rent.
The country, therefore, must insist on the bill being
made the law of the land. Modifications may be
made, as we have already remarked, in its secondary
provisions, but. we must have household suffrage.
No Government, whether Whig or Tory, ever before
proposed a bill based on household suffrage, and no
Government, whether Whig or Tory, may bring
forward in our day another measure, if this be lost,
so liberal as the present. The nation must, there-
fore, if they have any regard for the electoral rights
of the myriads now excluded from the franchise,
rally round the Government of Lord Derby.

THE WESTMINSTER GAZETTE ON " IRELAND'S
DIFFICULTY."—The regeneration of Ireland, po-
litical and social, is a task worthy of the highest
ambition of a great statesman, as well as a para-
mount duty. None are fit to govern in England
who are incapable of honestly recognizing the
causes of Ireland's discontent, and of applying
remedies to the, ills of that unfortunate country.
The first necessity is to uphold the law, to protect
society, to punish criminals ; but this is an easy
task compared with the duty of reconciling the
Irish people to English rule. Men do not live
by bread alone ; and even were the economic laws
of Ireland regulated more in accordance with
the country's needs, the relations between land-
lord and tenant put on a better footing, still the
great evil of Ireland would remain in the ali-
enation of classes produced by the unhappy reli-
gious divisions. Ireland's greatest difficulty after
all is a social difficulty. The land, the rank, the
wealth, are on one side—that of Protestant
ascendancy—and on the other are the masses of
the nation belonging to a Church which, for
three hundred years, had been persecuted in almost
every conceivable fashion of cruelty. Unfortun-
ately, in the heart of a sensitive people, Protes-
tant and Orange ascendancy is inseparably asso-
ciated with English rule. If we wish to win
the Irish people over from a widespread disaffec-
tion to the side of loyalty, we must remove
from
,their memory, and even from their imagina-
tion, all traces of this hateful association. We
must never forget that We are in a great degree
responsible for all the misery and mischief en-
tailed upon Ireland by this latest and worst form
which Irish discontent has taken. For Feni-
anism is essentially irreligious in,its principles and
anti-social in its aims ; for this reason is it anathe-
matized from the pulpit and excommunicated
like Freemasonry. " The Irish insurrection," says
the Debats, in a remarkable article on Fenian-
ism, "is essentially American. The money, the
arms, the leaders come from America; it is a
return of the emigrants for offensive purposes.
This transplantation has completely changed the
character of the Irish insurrection. We are accus-
tomed to see in history the antagonism of Catholic
Ireland and Protestant England. Now, the reli-
gious question counts for nothing. Were O'Con-
nell resuscitated he would be hooted. The Irish
revolutionists are not only republicans but ration-
alists ; they will submit to the domination of the
Catholic clergy no more than to that of the Protes-
tant clergy. They have inscribed on their banner
the emancipation of thought, the secularization
of instruction, the separation of Church and
State." Were such un-Catholic principles, instead
of being confined to a small but turbulentminority,
really to take root in Ireland, it would, indeed,
be a calamity for both England and Ireland. Eng-
land has missed many a favourable opportunity
of recasting her whole policy towards Catholicism
in Ireland ; but if it be idle to regret spilt water, it
is worse than idle now to look back to past mis-
takes ; the future alone is in our hands. The Irish
people must be delivered from the guidance of its
Irish-American leaders, and from those godless
principles which are alien to the Catholic soil
of Ireland. But how is the deliverance to be
effected ? First, by the sword of England, by the
vindication of the law ; and, secondly, by taking
the Catholic Church into her friendly counsels,
and governing Ireland by the means of her religion
instead of, as heretofore, more or less by the instru-
mentality of an unjust and of a hated Orange as-
cendancy. The plan is simple, but it is worth try-
ing, because it has never yet been attempted. In
the days of persecution Ireland was simply goaded
into disaffection ; when persecution ceased, she was
irritated and wounded in her keenest sensibilities
by an arrogant and domineering Orangism ; and,
lastly, when England tried to benefit and con-
ciliate Ireland, for instance, by extending to her
the advantages both of popular and of univer-
rsity education, the English Government went
the wrong way to work, and by introducing, in
obedience to a spirit of false Liberalism, an
un-Catholic system of education into a Catholic
country drew down upon themselves the con-
demnation of the Catholic episcopate, and drove
the most steadfast Catholics into a persistent
opposition. Now is the time to repent of such
folly. The Catholic Church has done signal
service to the cause of order in ••Ireland, and
by opposing and preventing 'the spread of the
revolutionary spirit she has saved the country
from a merciless war of classes and of races, which
would have been quenched only in blood. Let
England now generously . and ungrudgingly do
her part, and, after putting down an insurrec-
tion as foolish as it is wicked, set to work to
govern Ireland as she ought to be governed, as a
Catholic country, and on principles which will
meet with the support and sympathy of the Ca-
tholic Church. Such a system of consideration and
of fair dealing, which is in general so consonant
to the temper of the English people, cannot fail in
time to heal the wounds of Ireland which have
been too long kept open by an unjust and
mis-
taken policy of Orange ascendancy.
