SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS.
liOll TER ITIMING PAPKIIII OF THIS DAY.
GLOBE.—The Archbishop of Canterbury has re-
turned a reproving answer to a complaint made to
him of Trectarianism in the sermons of a Rev. Mr.
Shaw. We can say nothing about this case, as we
have no evidence on it before us. But we can say
that it immediately concerns the clergy more than
the laity, that cases of this kind should be
probed to the bottom, and not dismissed on ex-
parte evidence. Unless the clerical order, by
itself constituted the Church—in which case,
Puseyite development threatens it with having the
Church all to itself—the laity must necessarily be
allowed, directly or indirectly, to have a voice in
the matter of the teaching they are to listen to.
This is unavoidable, so long as listening is not com-
pulsory. We grant that, if the Newmaniac van-
guard of Puseyiem could have things their ovvt,
way—if reconciliation with Rome were efiected—
which the Newman coterie declare the first indispen-
sable requisite—if the noble and glorious company of
St. Ignatius hail its effective force fully reorganised, and
if the Secular Arm could be forced to execute what-
ever the Infallible Church, by its Pope, had decreed
—the daily defections from High Church congrega-
tions might be viewed with indifference—or viewed
simply as arguments for preparing sufficient dragoon
force to drive the flock back to the fold. In
the meantime, however, nothing of all this has,
as yet, been accomplished. " Protestants, and other
heretics," have the assurance still to think themselves
constituents of the Church. They have the assurance
still to think that something else than obedience belongs
to laymen • and that something else than Jesuitism
should be the model contemplated by their guides. They
have the assurance to laugh to scorn the miraculous
sacerdotal system again sought to be accredited. They
do not contest the right of another Church to believe
new wonders, and canonise new Saints. They do not
contest the right of Roman Catholics to believe that
St. Alfonso Liguori, while praying to the Virgin in a
congregation, was raised two feet from the pulpit, and
turned, in rising, to the image of that Blessed Lady,
whose countenance miraculously beamed upon him. Eu'
they do contest the right of English Churchmen to
write as follows of the system of casuistry revived by
that, and such other modern Saints, in moral matters:
—" The tender but pure system of discipline intro-
duced into Italy by St. Alfonso towards the conclu-
sion of the last century, though it met with
clamour and opposition from the rigid party,
has probably been one main cause of the singular
revival of spirituality in that part of the Church."
It is well known to those who have looked into these
matters, that the Jesuitical management of the con-
fessional—which " the noble and glorious company of
St. Ignatius" are re-introducing in France and
Italy—has always been one of the things most
obnoxious to moral censure about their institute.
It has always, however, been one of the main elements
of their power. The license exercised to distinguish
and extenuate at discretion in all cases brought before
them, is the sure recipe employed by men of the world
engaged as soldiers of Christ, or rather soldiers of the
Pope, for such has been, from the beginning, the
Jesuit service—to attract weak men, • and weaker
women, into the great net which they spread over
all Europe. They are spreading that net again.
Are they got ? Is there no meaning in the fact that
English clergymen have the impudence (that is the
word) to hail them noble and glorious—to hail their
permanence as a sta4ding miracle ? Is there no
meaning in the fact that French education is
grasped at in their name; rulers, philosophers,
professors, all men who will not bow to their
gentle yoke, are asasailed with every infamous inven-
tion of cell-bred slander ? They are too precipitate—
the scribes of the Univers—the myrmidons of M. de
Montalembert. That notable Jesuit and Peer of
France is, by half, too plain -spoken. The Dublin
Review never did a worse service to the cause it
supports than by publishing the haughty summons
of that lay-preacher of Jesuit Mariolatry. The
pear is not ripe; not ripe even in France;
far less in England. France has not forgotten
the old independent distinctions of her own
Church. That Church, indeed, is now low enough ;
a miserable multitude of despised parish priests are
helpless enough against any impulse which a stronger
organisation may give them. But France is not Bel-
gium : the intellectual republic of Paris cannot be
again priest-ridden. It is more than a sally of M.
Idiclielet that France expelled a dynasty to rid herself
of Jesuit direction—and would expel ten dynasties
more. Jesuitism is nothing but the volunteer force, or
"auxiliary legion," of an Infallible Church. Implicit
obedience to the earthly head of an Infallible Church
was the grand scope of Jesuitism. This was, from
its origin, an offensive warfare against the common
sense of all Europe. Again and again Europe has
expelled the sable militia which tormented her.
Again and again they have made resurrection—and
the Newmanite standing miracle again lifts its head.
In this we hold there is nothing miraculous. The
miracle, we think, if there is any, consists in the
modern tolerance of a pretension— for enforcing which
Jesuitism furnishes the best machinery. The preten-
sion is, that implicit obedience is due to any autho-
rity on earth. Admit that pretension ; and Jesuit
agencies to work it follow in natural order.
STANDAIta—It is not difficult to account for
the contempt with which certain writers affect
to treat agricultural meetings. It is by such
meetings that the writers in question have been
most effectually opposed—driven from their free-
trade doctrines and fixed duty projects to take re-
fuge in an ungracious and most reluctant silence.
It may he true that much of novelty is not
to be expected at an agricultural meeting, but are
such meetings useless ? If so, universities, colleges,
and Schools are useless, for they are all employed in
teaching things previously well known to some.
Neither universities, colleges, schools, nor agricul-
tural meetings are useless, for though what
they teach is not new in the abstract it is
new to those to whom they teach it. The speech
of Lord Stanley, at the late Liverpool meeting,
happily illustrates the value of teaching old truths
to those by whom those truths, though old, had
never been duly appreciated. There had been
scarcely any farmers or landlords in England for
some centuries ignorant of the fact, that the more
money judiciously laid out in draining and manuring
land, the more productive the land is made to the
farmer, and the snore valuable his estate is rendered
to the landlord. Yet how few, comparatively, are the
farmers and landlords who seem to have profited
by this knowledge ? Now, one effect of agricul-
tural meetings is to remind the dull or negli-
gent of such plain truths as this, and to stimu-
late them by the intelligence that others me
reminded of these truths also, and that if they do
not act upon them, they will be left be-
hind ; yes, when a farmer is made aware that his
neighbours are, to some extent, about to reduce the
money price of produce by greatly augmenting its
amount, he must set to work to improve his crops,
too, or he will surely be left in the lurch. Ilere,
howner, seems to arise a difficulty, as farmer and
landlord are both equally interested in the improve-
ment of the land, who is to pay the cost?—and
if both, in what proportions are they to pay it ?
Lord Stanley solves the difficulty, by an appli-
cation of the rule as old at least as the civil
law—" Qui sentit lucrum, sentiat et onus,"—
a rule most successfully and 'satisofafctioirilY adopted by
the Earl of Derby, the
Barneby, and many other noblemen arrowhy, Mr.
men. Where a tenant has a lease andfor
let him expend in profitable improvemageeettnetrime-' n
amount proportioned to the value of his term,
and no more, unless his landlord lends it
and where the tenantcy is at will, let the landlord I
advance money flor improvement, upon a reasonable
interest. Experience has shown that upon average
land farmers may make twenty per cent. of money for
which they pay but five, while landlords en-
sure from one to two per cent. upon the mere
loan, phis the immense gain by the permanent
