SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS,

FLOM THE EVENING PAPERS OF THIS DAT.
GLOBE.—Mr. O'Connell has returned to his first
love. If we may judge from the warm reception he
received at Limerick on Wndnesday last, his " in-
fidelity" to " Simple Repeal" has been pardoned. His
philandering with federalism, and his coquetting
with rotatory -Parliaments have ceased. Henceforth
repeal is to be the mistress of his undivided
affections, and to promote and further its attain-
ment, the one engrossing business of his life.
Whatever the great Agitator may have lost in cha-
racter among thinking rnen in this country by his re-
cent inexplicable tactics—which involve inconsistency,
and, for a time, evinced vacillation—he has lost little,
if any, of that mighty influence over the mass or his
countrymen by v. bieh he holds them captive, and
moves them, hither
.ane thither, at his will. The
great Munster mectieg”—a procession and a ban-
quet on A grand scale. to celebrate his liberation,
and that of hie compel:ices, will recal the
ecenes of MulLightnnst and Tara and the other
inon,l-ter meetings" of last ear. As an exMifition of
putilic feeling, the affair seems to have been impres-
sive. The Experiment of getting up a pubic demon-
stration—somewhat hazardous, with O'Connell's
speeches in praise of federalism still ringing in the
ears of his followers— has succeeded. It will, doubt-
less, tend to recover whatever of public confidence
O'Connell might have lest, and to re-animate
the arparently abated fervour of the Irish people
in thel,r pursuit of the repeal project, which he
now affirms is essenfal to the peace and pro:Terity,
of the country—the one panacea fur the evils which
press ueon the great mass of its inhabitants. Mr.
O'Connell's speech to the i.,ssernhled multitudes was
signally bold—we Lad almost said, daring. The
passages from his !yet (lee at the " monster meet-
inw," which were adduced on the recent trial, as
calculated to excite the passions of the assembled mul-
titudes, and thus endanger the public peace, were re-
produced, as though he courted the attention and
invoked the vengeance of the Government. AVe now
repeat, what we have said on former similar occa-
sions, that to set forth in the hearing of a pro-
sniscuous multitude of partisans—and these of the
lowest class—the numbers that are ready to employ
physical force—to fight, to die, fur a given object,
has a direct tend.:ncy to endanger the pubic peace.
Exhcrtations to refrain from violence—while the ex-
horter is sedulously impressing upon them their power
of achieving the object which is set before them as
fraught with personal and patriotic advantages—may
succeed fur a time; but it will, sooner or later, be in-
effectual. We can hardly concede to the individual
'who adoits such a mode of address the claim of
sit c -rine • We deprecate—deplore—denounce--the
empleyment of such eppeals. To scatter com-
bustibles, which a sperk may ignite, among
materials such as tleoe by which O'Connell it
eurroundel, is dangerous, and may be destruc-
tive. it is no excuse for Mr. O'Connell that he
can refer to forty-one occasions on which he used
similar language, and no breach of the peace ensued.
If any outrage result, on any occasion, after such
language has been addressed by him to the multi-
tude, it would he difficult for him to persuade an im-
partial jury that his speech was not an incentive to
the act. IC;or would his exhortation to abstain from
using the invincible power they possessed, be consi-
dered as anything better than a subterfuge, to pro-
tect himself from the per emal consequences of
preaching sedition, and .exciting the multitude to
violence.
STANDARD.—The Morning Chronicle has to-
day an article of some length upon what it is pleased
to call Sir Robert Peel's anti• Brazilian policy. Now
the policy in question is anti-Brazilian only in this,
that it gives first a preference to our own colonial
sugar, next in order a preference to sugar the
product of free labour, in. whatever country grown.
A British and anti-slavery policy (be they always
united) it certainly is ; but in no respect is it anti-
Erazilien more than it is anti- Cuban, or anti anything
else. It is the Morning Chronicle that- compli-
ments the Brazils by representing those countries
as the embodied type of the accursed slave trade, the
Brazils being also the special clients of. the League."
The question of slavery apart, however, we have suf-
ficient proof that nothing less than the sacrifice of our
colonies will satisfy the rapacity of the Brazilian Go-
vernment. Baron Langsdorff, the Envoy of the
French Government, sent with a proposition for the
renewal of the expiring commercial treaty be-
tween France and the Brazils—without any sti-
pulation in favour of free labour produce—has
fared no better than Mr. Ellis. The Brazilian
Government will listen to nothing less than an
~absolute monopoly of the sugar trade ; and
this monopoly M. Guizot is as little dis-
posed to grant, to the destruction of the French colo-
nies and to the ruin of the home manufacture from
beetroot, as Sir Robert Peel to concede the sacrifice
of all our tropical dependencies. The Brazils, there-
fore bid fair for a condition of commercial " isolation."
This seems foolish of the part of the Government
of Rio ; but, after all, that Government is, perhaps,
not so much to blame for the folly. The free-
traders of this country have been for years exag-
gerating the importance of the Brazil trade
to our manufactures, and the power of
the Brazilian Government to exclude our
produce to a degree to persuade the Brazi-
lians that they may dictate what terms they please to
England, and as, it is plain from Baron Langsdorff's
failure, to France also. The folly, however pro-
duced, of Brazilian isolation, can be cured only by a
sharp lesson, and that lesson is in preparation. The
achoohnaster will be soon abroad in the unwel-
come garb of a smuggler, unwelcome we mean to
the Government, but always too welcome to the
people, and he will not be long in teaching the utter
impossibility of withholding from the people what
they want or desire, along a frontier of 7,000 or 8,000
miles at the very least. The Brazilians have the
best imaginable means of knowing the impossi-
bility of guarding, by any exppense of money, skill,
and zeal, a coast of half the extent of their frontier;
for they pursue their murderous trade of man-smug-
sling along the whole coast of western Africa, almost
unmolested, notwithstanding all that England and
prance can do to interrupt it. If, under the advice of
our "Leaguers," they persist in their ridiculous
scheme of isolation, they will soon have their practices
a-etorted upon them, though in an infinitely hu-
snanized form. In the article to which we refer,
?he Morning Chronicle modestly chums for the
Whigs the credit of the srecess of the British arms
;a China, and the nequi-ition of the China trade.
'rill is somewhat more flan com.nonly audacious.
