SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS

'PROX TPOii EVENING PAPERS OF YESTERDAY.
. „

GLOBE.—While strenuously striving to effect an
object, in which it signally fails, the Times establishes
• another, and very important fact, of which it was, or
affected to be, altogether ignorant. The point aimed at
by the Times is to fasten upon the Whigs the charge of
aiding and abetting O'Connell in the repeal agitation,
for party . purposes. This is an accusation which is
easily made. It has been reiterated with in-
creased assurance, as its utter falsehood became more
and more apparent. The accumulation of facts
by which it has been confuted, requires for its repetition
no common share of the courage which not merely dis-
penses with truth in dealing with political opponents,
but takes for granted that those who read the inventions
thus boldlyput. forth are utterly oblivious of recorded
facts,- the. records of which are accessible by all.
•In proof of the perfectly gratuitous character of this
imputation, we might refer to more than one Royal
Speech on the opening of Parliament during the Whig
,Administrations,in which the strongest language con-
sistent with the occasion was employed against the re-
peal of the legislative union of the two countries—to the
speeches of the members of the Whig Government in
Parliament---the explicit condemnation of the Repeal
Association by Lord Fortescue, when Lord Lieutenant
of Ireland, in which he expressed his determination
to exclude from every description of office under the
Crown, all who became members of the Association ;
and at the same time cautioned the leaders of the move- •
wilt, then in its infancy, against any violation of the
laws or interruption of the public peace ; as, in that
ease, the powers which the Constitution had placed at
the disposal of the Government would be employed—the
peace of the community protected—and the offimders be
visited with punishment. The same may be affirmed of the
journals which were and are conducted on the principle
by which the Whigs administered the Government. Fur
ourselves, we may safely assert that no language can have
been more unmistakeable than that which we have in vari-
ably employed in reprobation of repeal. Our strongestcen-
sures have been directed against the folly of the Repeal
project, and to set forth the mischief's to which the
agitation got up by O'Connell and his coadjutors were
producing among the population. This course we took
—not merely when we might be supposed to act under
the guidance of the marked reprehensions uttered by the
Whig leaders. Since the agitation for Repeal has become
au apparently national, rather than a local movement,
and three provinces have become the theatre of its ope-
ration—since Repeal has disturbed the country with
fears, and embarrassed the Government by its formid-
able.proceedings, our language has been invariably the
same. No factious motives have induced us to vary our
tone or qualify our expressions. We still regard the
Repeal project with the same undeviating aversion,
both as to its objects, and the means by which it is sought
to be effected. We have said thus much in vindication of
our consistency, and of the political party with
which we are associated, against such imputations as
those which are to-day hashed up again by the Times.
The Times—without perceiving the tendency of its
admissions, and the manner in which it satisfactorily ac-
counts for the origin and progress of the Repeal move-
ment on grounds other than those it has assigned—re-
to the fact, that the condition of the great mass
of the people—a condition which the Whigs, when in
office, laboured to improve—constitutes the element
in which discontent finds its encouragement ; and that
the utter 'hopelessness of improvement under the pre-
sent Government imparts impulse to agitation, and
invests it with the elements of alarm. The prose-
cution of O'Connell—the way in which that prosecution
has been conducted—the various and often detailed ap-
pliances of irritation to an already excited people,
crowned by the expulsion of every Roman Catholic from
the jury panel on account of his creed—these insults and
injuries, accompanied by a stern refusal to inquire into
the general grievances, have stimulated the national-dis-
...

like to Tory rule, which has taken the shape of Repeal
agitation. The movement might have been crippled by
conciliation—it has been fostered by coercion. The Times
may rave—for it is not reasoning. That.. which is
'good in the exhortation, comes too late to be of use.
That which is evil in it the Ministers have already
tried, and it has increased the evils it was designed to re-
medy. The Ministers have "" plunged" themselves into

the thickest difficulties that ever e—nvironed a Govern-
ment. They know not how to get out—whether by re-
treating—if they are, indeed, able to do so; or by daring
the worst to themselves and the country, by attempting
to proceed in the course which has been beset with dan-
gers, and which threatens to become yet more perilous.

STANDARD.—It will have been seen, from our
yesterday's report that the Court of Queen's Bench in
Dublin was occupied until • half-past six on Saturday
evening in hearing the arguments of counsel, as to the
admissibility as evidence of certain printed documents
issued from time to time by the Repeal Association, and
produced in. Court by the printer employed by that
body. To support the charge of having collected money
for the purposes of the conspiracy as laid in the in-
dictment, the counsel for the Crown proposed to read
a paper headed " Instructions to Repeal Wardens," and
signed Daniel O'Connell. It was okeeted by the
counsel for the traversers, that the publication of these
papers was not mentioned in the bill of particulars. The
Court, however, decided that they should be admitted.
The counsel fur the traversers then ob:ected, on the
same ground, to the reading of a " Letter addressed to
the " Secretary of the Repeal Association, by the author
of the Green Book." The Attorney:General replied
. .

that the letter had appeared in the Nation news Caper,
publications from which were included in the bill of par '
ticulars ; adding that in their objections the traversers'
counsel confounded the chitrges against them with
the mode of proving them. The Crown had supplied
a bill of particulars of the charges to be brought against
them, but it was absurd to pretend that all the
documents it was intended to use in evidence
should have 'been set forth. The Court finally
decided in favour of the admissibility of all the docu-
ments, and then adjourned until 10 o'clock on Monday.
The admission of these papers is considered of much
greater importance to the issue of the trial than any
other proceeding which has yet taken place during its
progress ; furnishing as they do the most complete evi-
dence of the connection of the traversers with the As-
sociation, and their consequent responsibility for
the publications issued by that body. The most im-
portant of these documents are-1. The letters of the
secretary of the Loyal National Association, relative to
the new Card of Members, by the author of the "Green
Book."-2. A Plan fur the Renewal of the Irish Parlia-

ment.-3. Instructions for the Appointment of Repeal
Wardens.-4. Form for the Appointment of Repeal
Wirdens.-5. A Proclamation relating to the Arbitration

Courts.-6. The Address of the Association to the Lila

bitants of Countries subject to the British Crown.-7.
Rules to be observed by Arbitrators in Districts.-8, Arbi-
tration Notices, &c. A great many witnesses for the
Crown remain yet to be examined. The Morning
Chronicle has attempted to palliate its own inconsistency
in reference to these prosecutions by fictitious allegations
against its Contemporaries, and has charged the
Standard, among others, with having published " gar-
bled" extracts from the evidence. It is hardly necessary
for us to defend ourselves from such an accusation. We
have carefully abstained from any comment whatever on
the evidence, although we have not hesitated to express

our disgust at the piltry devices by which it has been at,
tempted to protract the proceedings. The only two ex
tracts from the evidence to which we have directed atten.
tion, consisted of samples of the mode in which the cross•

examination of witnesses is being conducted by the counsel
for the traversers, and which involved no fact that could
have the slightest influence on the issue. One counsel
asks a witness, whom he has in vain attempted to baffle

by questions arising out of his evidenee;“ If he would
have any objection to give a piece of Irish tabinet for a
lady ?" lie answers perhaps he should; when the
counsel replies " then the lady would have the worst
of the bargain." We certainly deprecated such a
mode of cross-examination, and we repeat our opinion,
that it was in the worst possible taste. With regard to
the facts of the case, as detailed in the speech of the
Attorney-General, and supported by the evidence, we
have studiously refrained from all comment upon them ;
and notwithstanding the threat of the Morning Chro•
nide, that it will proceed to comment upon them de die in
diein, we shall nut be induced to follow its example.
The Chronicle is not, however, alone in its breach of
the rule ordinarily observed on such occasions ; the
Whig and Radical press generally has evinced a dis-
regard for " decency" and " justice" in its attempts
to intimidate the jury, and calumniate the wit-
nesses for the Crown, wholly without precedent.
It was reserved for our Morning Contemporary,
however, to warn one of the jurors that the trials would
be protracted to a period which would render his death,
"if game," all but certain ; and that if he were wise, he
would forthwith take to his bed and send in a physician's
certificate. This, our impartial journalist suggested,
with an ill-disguised chuckle, would bring the prosecu-
tions to an abrupt termination.
