SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS.
FRO3I THE EVENING PAPERS OF THIS DAY.
GLOBE.—The answer given in the first instance by
Sir Robert Peel to Captain Layard, whether Lord De
Grey had resigned the office of Lord Lieutenant of Ire-
land, is utterly inconsistent with the statement he sub-
sequently made, upon reflection, to the House. Cap-
tain Layard's question was propounded in the most
plain and intelligible form. It made no allusion to the
motives which might have induced the Noble Lord's
resignation. It sought an answer—aye, or no—to the
inquiry. The anss er given was, " No, Sir, there is
no truth whatever in the report that Lord De
Grey has resigned." It appears, however, that the
• answer which the facts of the case demanded was,
" Yes, Sir, Lord De Grey has resigned." The fact of Lord
De Grey's resignation could not but be officially known to
Lord Eliot. His Lordship declined to answer the ques-
tion, but referred the inquirer to the " Right lion.
Gentleman at the head of her Majesty's Government ;"
thus shifting upon him the responsibility of a denial,
or an admission of the fact, as best pleased him.
With characteristic consistency, the Premier did both.
He positively denied, amid the cheers of. his adherents,
51 that there was any truth whatever in the report;
' and then, to the surprise of all parties in the House—a
,m surprise which seems to have covered his own followers
i with confusion, and filled even his opponents with regret
1 —the Right en. Baronet admitted the very fact which
) he had just before asserted to be altogether without
i foundation! Anomalies may admit of explanation.; but
5 that a thing can"be, and cannot be, at the same lime, is
t —at least in our view—a contradiction, beyond our
3X ability to harmonise with truth or reason. Probably Sir
3
i R. Peel is competent to the task. At least, we think,
3 he ought to try. We believe the real state of the case
with reference to Lord De Grey's resignation, to he thus:
—The disclosure of the secret instructions contained in
7 the letter addressed to . the Irish Government by the
0 Home Secretary, respecting the course to be henceforth
5
3 taken with respect to ecclesiastical patronage in Ireland,
2% in connexion with the national system of education in
°
LS that country, gave huge offence to the Cabinet, which was
2 strongly expressed to Lord De Grey by the Premier. The
hi Viceroy's countenance of the Irish clergy, in their efforts
to
it to-obstruct and counteract that system, was notorious to
;o all. Lord De Grey tendered his resignation immediately;
.I°, but the State trials, which were then proceeding, ren-
s° dered it inexpedient, if not dangerous, for a change
to to take . place in the Executive until the proceed-
: ings against O'Connell were brought to a close.
to Lord De Grey was therefore • prevailed upon to' re- .
76 main at his post until the Government could extricate
51 itself from the difficulties in which it was: placed by
12% the protracted proceedings in the Irish Queen's Bench,
and the blunders in form, and indiscretions in sub-
stance, which the Crown lawyers, subordinate and princi-
pal, had committed in managing the prosecution. Lord
,38,. De Grey complied with the request, so far as continuing
tug at his post for a short time ; but refused to withdraw his
letter of resignation. This remained in the hands of
Sir Robert Peel. The fact of such letter being in the
lb . Bight Hon. Baronet's hands would have continued a State
inje • secret until the writ of error had been disposed of by the
House of Lords, had it not got wind by some mysterious
. :means, on this or the other side the Channel, and led to
21% 'Captain Layard's question. This accounts for Lord
3;4 Mliot's declining to answer the inquiry when ad-
Idli dressed to him. It also explains Sir Robert Peel's
247' emphatic " No," when the question was unexpectedly
I
203
4 addressed to him, and accounts, with no less probabi-
s,, ,1 lity; fur the Right Hon. Baronet's subsequent " explana-
' tion to avoid misapprehension," which he gave at a sub-
sequent • period of the evening. This explanation
i amounted; as we have shown, to a palpable contra-
i diction of the answer he had given to Captain
a Layard's question a short time before. The fe-
verish anxiety displayed by the Premier to put
the resignation of Earl De Grey on the ground
IC of impaired health, also conducts to, the same con-
IL.: elusion. Again, the laboured assurance which he gave
the House, that nothing in the state of public affairs had
led to the Noble Lord's retirement from the Irish
Government, strengthens this view of the- care ; and,
Is I coupled with the extraordinary discrepancy in the two
4, I statements made by the Right Hon. Baronet to the
House of Commons, on the same evening, go far, in our
6 view, to establish the explanation we have given of the
real cause of Earl De Grey's resignation, and which we
Wri believe, on good grounds, to be the true one.
STANDARD.—It was intimated last night by Sir
w. Robert Peel, that though Earl De Grey has not resigned
14, the Lieutenancy of Ireland, the state of his Excellency's
health is unfortunately such as to render his continuance
in the offiee, much longer, improbable. Earl De Grey's
retirement has . been for some months anticipated,
i and anticipated with regret by all men of all
parties, except the very worst. The Noble Earl has
governed a disturbed country - with unimpeached
impartiality and vigilance, and though doubtless
the Ministers, whose policy he a'lminis'ered, are entitled
to share the praise with- him, he will be long remem-
bered as the Chief Governor of Ireland, under whose
administration the industry and enterprise of the
country, were first effectually awakened from their
',. long sleep, we will not say of centuries, but their
gi long sleep since the creation. Much of this happy
effect of Lord De Grey's government is due to his
direct activity, by example and otherwise, but more
e 34 "to his firmness tempered with forbearance. Never were
r the sua viter in modo, fortiter in re" more happily illus-
-5 trated in the conduct of public affairs than in his Lord-
s%
sei ship's Government. He has effectually put down, by
.1 "the ordinary law," a sedition, before which all his pre-
-- eee decessors retreated, though fortifying themselves from
time to time with extraordinary powers ; and he has
~ accomplished this great object without giving a
; ! pretext of offence to any human being. From the day
t :of his Excellency's landing in Ireland to the present
al, hour no one has complained of private injury or insult.
Many of both the great parties that divide Ireland
have been disappointed in their political schemes
N , —some have been thwarted in the pursuit of their
1 private objects of ambition, but no man has
; been insulted or injured. The Lord Lieutenant,
i therefore, otherwise favourably known by his generosity,
5 charity, hospitality, and truth, is personally a favourite
onith all parties—so. easy is it to conquer. prejudice and
re - . even political hostility by good nature, good manners,
et - and upright dealing. Whenever Lord De Grey shall
's) 'leave Ireland, he will leave the country more in-
it
tesi dustrious and richer, and if not happier, in poc.
-3 session of a better security for a happy future,
than Ireland has ever been before. It is no doubt true,
S some of our Contemporaries deny that the repeal sedi-
-7 tion has been suppressed ; but, if not suppressed,
19
6 :we ask where is it ? Where are " the monster
o :meetings ? " Where the seditious harangues of Mr.
zDaniel O'Cor.nell ? " Oh," it is rejoined, " these
5 , have no. , doubt been extinguished, but there is an
* enormous augmentation in the subscriptions." The
Freeman's Journal, however, acknowledges with honest
;s sorrow that this augmentation is by no means a satis-
efactory symptom- of the progress of repeal, intimating
3%34 not very darkly that the most liberal contributors of the
5% present time are paying their unusually large subscrip-
e n'a tions, in the character of a " final composition," a leave-
se
a taking of the repeal and all its exactions. Even,
11 however, should this not be 'the case (though we
134 firmly believe it is), we really see nothing to alarm—
re
2 nothing like active sedition—nothing promising a con-
-2A tinuance of discontent, in th6se subscriptions. A sedi-
a
5% tion that does nothing but pay money—and vie hear
of nothing else in prospect or at present—is not
1 a very formidable sedition. OR the other hand,
I!he tax thus imposed upon disaffection, though self-
imposed, at least at 'present, is apparently a very
ass well contrived means for diminishing the number
I of: the disaffected. There must be more truth than
we supposed in Swift's bitter maxim, that " proposi-
: tions true everywhere else are not true in Ireland,"
1 if the eternal cry of Pay, pay, can serve as the rallying
'i
is, cry of a serious rebellion—and this, let it be remem-
; bered, is at present the only cry. We observe in
!, the Morning Post to-day a whining lamentation over
11 Mr. O'Connell's imprisonment, which seems to indicate
. an intended movement of Young England in that
% person's behalf. Now, we look upon all this corn-
ix, passion as quite out of place. Mr. O'Connell's
Imprisonment has been made as gentle as it can be
s)5 made a far gentler punishment than that to
,
N which ten thousand better men must submit for
l ' far lighter crimes than his. We make, however,
' -no objection to this. Mr. O'Connell deserves the
highest punishment allowed by the law ; but they who
IN have been, directly or indirectly, his accomplices have
no right to inflict that punishment. Now, every
I . Government of the last twenty-five • years has
admitted into its councils the Rieht Honour-
ableo.
s Anthony lt. Blake, who. as it now turns
5 , out, has been all along Mr. O'Connell's asso-
-2% date - and fellow -labourer in politics, and inde-
pendent of the direct link supplied by Mr. Blake
between -Mr: O'Connell wed the Irish Governments
6 IN of twenty-five years, the conduct of these successive
6 Governments has, with few exceptions been such
9% as, to encourage Mr. O'Connell in his resent
course. Upon all these considerations, we think
2 that the public has reason to be satisfied that
4% the punishment of the incendiary - has been made
9 as light as is consistent with its safety. To the
public safety, however, it is necessary that Mr. O'Con-
i% nell be restrained by imprisonment from agitating the
Pis country at the moment, and that he be restsrainfi-ol
l% agitating it hereafter by heavy securities. The authority
' of the law vindicated, and the peace of the country
I secured, nobody need case how the prisoner fares, at
sr)i. least we do not care, for peace, not vengeance, is that
) . which we wish to see achieved. While we are upon this
subject, we cannot help repeating our opinion that the
ise punishment of all the prisoners, except Mr. Daniel
)34 O'Connell, might be mitigated with advantage to the
I, , public.
