SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS.
GLOBE.—As to the candidate most suited to
effect the great object for which every Dublin Liberal
should strive, we feel the more unwilling to' offer
an opinion, from our recollection of the injury inflicted
on the Liberal cause at the last election by an un-
founded statement, which obtained the currency of
truth as to the Duke of Leinster's son having con-
sented to be put in nomination. No such blunder as
this must be allowed to mar the fair prospects of the
Liberal cause in the impending contest. Whoever may
be thought of by the Liberal Committee, a prompt and
decisive reply must be required from the party named.
In fixing they must fix ; and having made their choice
and obtained the consent of the party, "union" must then
be the watchword ; and to well-regulated and well-di-
rected effort, in which every man must be engaged with
an energy of purpose which implies that the cause is
written upon his heart, and that success can only
be achieved by his acting as though the result de-
pended on him alone, each Liberal must devote
himself: Such is the spirit in which the election must
be contested on the part of the Dublin Liberals ; and
triumph will crown it with its due reward. If we
doubt the propriety of putting Lord Morpeth in
nomination; it is because we fear that his Lordship's ab-
sence from the country, and the knowledge of his recorded
declaration that he still not in sit in Parliament except.
for Yorkshire, may dispirit some of the electors by in-
ducing an apprehension that, if elected, he will not take
his seat. Of Lord Morpeth's suitableness there
can be but one opinion. The services he rendered to
Ireland as Chief Secretary have earned for him a name
which is associated with all that is dear to Irish pa-
triotism ; and his election would be an appropriate
mode of recognizing his services and personal worth.
Whether these considerations should be deemed
sufficient to counterbalance the disadvantages of his
Lordship's absence from the country—and the doubt
whether, if elected, he would rescind his purpose of re-
maining out of Parliament until again returned for York-
shire, must be left with those whose better means of
forming a correct judgment on the case, will give their
counsel a weight which we cannot expect will be attach.
ed to our opinion.
