SPIRIT of the PUBLI:. JOURNALS.
FROM THE EVENING PAPRt,I t THIS DAY.
GLOI3E.—Mr. O'Connell's it-cent conduct has
been such as to disappoint and grieve his best friends,
and to gratify his worst enemies. We allude not
here to his six eches at the repeal meetings; althou.,:h
these have of late savoured more strongly of sedition,
and been more freely impregnated with the elements
of mischief, than any of his former harangues. These
imprudent addresses to the prejudices and passions
of an easily-excited populace have not been allowed
to pass without censure by us. We should have been
justly regarded as "approvers" of his offences had we
refrained from rebuke and condemnation. Admit-
ting, as we do, the strong provocation which the pro-
ceedings of the Government have supplied, and the
gratification which Mr. O'Connell's personal feelings
may receive from the indulgence of vituperation
against those whom he designates his "persecutors"
—we cannot admit that this motive can excuse,
much less justify, those unmistakeable appeals
5 to the ignorant passions of the rabble with
which his recent speeches at Limerick and
Waterford were interlarded. There is neither
;14
3dignity nor patriotism in such harangues. They
would ruin a good cause, and brand with infamy in-
delible a bad one. The repeal project is dying by
' inches under the blighting influence of Mr. O'Con-
nell's inflammatory orations. This would be mat-
ter for congratulation—affected by whatever means
which did not include an infraction of constitu-
-17
176 f tional rights. But, unhappily, the substantial
2nn wrongs—those prolific sources of suffering and dim-
.7o content among the Irish people, are permitted to
904
continue. Successive chimerical schemes for effecting
79 organic changes in the government are broached.

Is I Thus the attention of the people is distracted from
ft, their real interests, by endeavours to persuade them
is?, that nothing but those changes in the constitution of
go. vernment can improve their physical and social con..
dition. The effect of these agitations upon the pub-
-3'4 lie mind in this country is necessarily injurious to the
1 best interests of Ireland. Those who are now espe-
