and efficiency of the Protestant Church. We see in
these measures precisely that system for which we
have perseveringly contended—not for one or two ad-
ministrations, or for half a dozen or a dozen years, but
from the first establishment of this journal, 16 years
ago—the system namely, of reforming the Romanist
clergy, through the laity of their own communion
(the only way in which a Romanist clergy ever was
or ever will be reformed), and reforming the laity by
kindness, by encouragement, and by instruction. The
reverse of this was the policy which brought Ireland
to her present—may we not rejoice in rather saying
her late—condition. The plan of Government in-
troduced by Lord Glenelg, of governing Ireland
by the aid of the priests, had been pretty con-
stantly pursued from 1818 to 1842, with what effect
upon the Romanist population, and with what injury
to the Protestant interest, we can all see. "It is
certain," says De Retz, " that in government you can
never make use of an order without adding greatly
to the power of that order." And there can
be no question that the Glenelg scheme of Irish
government infinitely augmented the power
of the priests, the natural enemies of our
Church and therefore of England, the natural enemies,
too, of intelligence, civilisation, national prosperity,
and whatever detracts from an authority founded in
ignorance, and its companion, poverty. Let us hope,
then, that the Glenelg policy is about to be reversed
—that' the higher and middle classes of Roman
Catholics are invited to a complete incorporation with
their Protestant fellow-citizens, whose society they
must naturally have so many motives to cultivate.
