FOREIGN OR DOMESTIC LEGISLATION.
ADDRESS TO ELECTORS.
T" "Tithes" thus writes in one of its leiding
articles a April 13 :7--
" Ireland seems resolved to elect a spiritual, as
political dictator. That which was most strongly
against the great measure of Catholic Emancipation, is now
really coming to pass in Ireland. Her senators scarcely pro-
fess a divided allegiance, but give their whole and sole obedi-
ence to the imperious orders of the haughty vicegerent of a
hostile power. * * * In the Parliament which we
are about to elect, it is only too probable that seventy or eighty
nominal representatives of counties and cities will be found
who are really nothing more than members for the Vatican and

France has a
sisted on

Propaganda.-
" Probably something like the eighth part of the great coun-
cil of the nation will belong to us in little more than name,
and he ready to adopt any scheme, however detrimental to our
interest, which shall serve the object of that foreign Power
whose subjects they are and whom they serve."
Thus Romaniats would turn the Constitution against itself,
and make use of the privileges we have conferred on them to
take away our own.
How. then. ii this evil to he met ? By the Government ? or
by Parliament ? Government can do very little, unless backed
by Parliament ; and how little Parliament, as now constituted,
can do, or will do, we see by what they have done and left un-
done in the matter of the Papal aggression and the proposed
inquiry into Maynooth.
The Protestantism of the House will no more rise above the
Protestantism " out of doors," than water will rise above its
level—except by pressure from without.
If, then, Popery should gain adominantpowerin Parliament,
and—guided by the spirit of the Vatican—press more strongly
upon the springs of Government than Protestantism does, any
and every Administration of this country must bow before it.
To prevent this, British Protestantism, then, must manifest
itself on the hustings, and be well represented in the House of

Commons. ~
Protestants must not place any confidence in mere political
party men. Both Her Majestes Government, and the Leaders
of the Opposition, indicate a/greater desire to secure the " Irish
Vote," than to legislate on sound Protestant and constitution:l
principles. Why is this Not that the Earl of Derby or Lord
John Russell have Ro anist predilections, but they deem it
expedient to concilia , or,at least, not to offerd that powerful,
united, reckless, anA determined party, already too strong in
Co
the. House of Co r .ons ; and which hopes to master there in
yet greater stren h, and to form, under the auspices of " the
Pope," "Card' id Wiseman," and Dr. Cullen, a still more
powerful band, and one more formidable and hostile to British
interests than has ever yet appeared in the British Parliament.
Mere party politicians deem it expedient to play into the hands
of those who they think can make or unmake them ; while
Protestants, latterly, have shown too little of power, union,
determination, and self-denial to command the confidence of
statesmen, and to make it expedient for them to act upon Pro-
testant principles.
Let them reverse this sad, but too faithful picture of them-
selves. Statesmen,then, on either side of the House, will find
it more grateful, more expedient, and more safe, gracefully to
acquiesce in the verdict of the Protestant feeling of this coun-
try, as indicated by its representatives in Parliament ; than in
en un-English manner, to cringe or quail before the influence
of the Vatican—whether wielded by the crafty intrigues, the
hold intimidations, or the "insolent" assumptions of Drs.
Wiseman, Cullen, or 'Hale.
What, then, is to be done? Each elector, like every soldier;
and every sailor, during the time of action, must do his utmost
for the defence of his country and religion. Each constituency
should feel that much rests with itself.
Protestant candidates should be encouraged to come for-
ward; pro-Popery candidates should be discouraged anctre-
I peted

We do not say that, in every case, pledges should be in4,-ited
an. These, by some lightly given and as lightly brokon, afford
no real security; and some highly honourable, men, whose
ism cannot be questioned, object to them. But
ld be a frank, open; unmistakeable avowal by can-
-. or what they think it riglit to do as to Popery and Pro-
testantism in general, and as to the Papal aggression and 3lay-

nooth Collegein particular.
Romanists, Protectionists, Free-traders, respectively require
as much as this at the hands of those who ask their votes; and
where the views of candidates are clear, and consonant with
those of the electors, they have n• hesitation in giving it. How,
then, can Protestant electors consistently be blamed for rlaing
the same? Indeed, we believe the time is nesir when Protes-
tant electors and candidates will wonder howAey could hesi-
tate to require and give the most clear and explicit information
and promises, upon questions .so vitally affecting the best in-
terests of the country.
We hold that the Grant to Maynooth ought to be withdrawn ;
and that the Papal aggression should be thoroughly repelled.
As regards filaynooth, we consider any application of national
funds t• such a College to be a national sin, and calculated to
draw down judgments upon the nation.
Results prove it to be as inexpedient as it is sinful. Why,
then, is it continued ? There is no statute or compact binding
us t• it, nut the Act of 1845 ; which like any other, may be
altered or repealed.
Let it be repealed without delay. Then, if Romanists still
need such a College for the education of their priests, they
may,—like other Dissenting bodies—support it with their own

Let those who prefer present peace to permanent safety bear
in mind that Rome will not allow them long repose. Lord
Arundel and Surrey truly stated, in the House of Commons,
that " His Hon. Friend, who had just sat down, had said that
ch of Rome was antagonistic to Protestantism. He
'reed with him; and, as long as the world lasted, it
anne so, until Protestantism was extinct:" (Cheers
counter-cheers.)
)o the friends of CiTak il and Religious Liberty object to oppose
,eery? or do they deem it favourable to their views?
Let them bear in mind the teaching of Maynooth and the
..2ciaration of a Roman Catholic organ, the " Rambler," which
states, " It is difficult to say in which of the two popular ex-
pressions, the rights of' ' civil liberty,' or the rights of ' religious
liberty,' is embodied the greatest amount of nonsense and
falsehood ;" and adds that, if a Roman, Catholic " were lord in
the land," his conduct towards us heretics " would entirely
rend upon circumstances. If it would benefit the cause of
sm, he would tolerate you : if expedient, he would
you. banish you, fine you : possibly he might even
But be assured of one thing—he would never toler-
r the sake of the glorious principles' of civil and

perfectly ag
would co,'•

you fa

religious liberty."
Do any imagine that Popery will not interfere to impede or
set aside the laws of this country?
Let them call to mind the conduct of the Papacy with refer-
ence to " the Queen's Colleges," and the following passage
from the Romlsh Tablet, as to the Act establishing them:—
"You may call it law if you please. You may print it in the
yearly volume of your statutes; but before long you will have
to repeal or alter it. in order to procure the sanction 'of a
foreign potentate, without which it has not, in the end, the
value of a tenpenny nail."
Can any regard Popery as friendly to the circulation of the

Bible?
The Pope's Encyclical Letter precludes such an idea ; and
the Rev. 51. Hobart Seymour, in his " Pilgrimage to Rome,"
states that having " visited in person every shop," he could not
purchase one copy in Rome, except with commentary, and that
at the price of about .4'6; so that it is practically a prohibited
book

Rome.
'rotestants suppose Popery to be consistent with the
safety, glory, peace, and prosperity of this nation ?
What Mr. Macauley, in his History of England, and Dr.
Croly, in his " Protestantism the Polar Star of England ; or,
England tie Fortress of Christianity," have written, will suf-
ice to disabuse any candid mind of such erroneous impres-
ions, and to convince them that the safety, glory, peace, pros-
erity, and independence of the British Empire depend upon
le maintenance of British Protestantism.
Several publications issued by the Protestant Association
undantly prove the above points. The titles of some—which
ty be had at the Office of the Association—are appended t,

TUESDAY MORNING, JULY 13, 1552.

THE WEEK.

THE RADICAL FACTION are getting frantic at the
result, so far, of the appeal made to the constitu-
encies by Lord DERBY'S Government. We give in
another column a list of places in which Conserva-
tives, or moderate Free-traders, have been substi-
tuted for followers of the BRIGHT and COBDEN
school, and also of those in which rabid Radicals
have succeeded in gaining seats formerly held by
Conservatives. The former number 40, and the

latter 17, showing a net gain of 23 to Lord DERBY,
derived from English Boroughs. We have not had
time to analyse the returns which have since been
received ; but there can be little doubt that they
will show a similar result. Nor in England alone
are there manifestations of a return to good sense
on the part of the Constituencies. Despite the
seditious efforts of the Priesthood and the Defence
Association, Ireland is about to strengthen the
hands of the Government. Dublin has just re-
turned two Conservative Members, rejecting the
leader of the brass band, Mr. JOHN REYNOLDS,
by an overwhelming majority. In Armagh, the
seat of PAUL CULLEN'S past labours, the Whig
candidate, Col. RAWDON, who has represented the
Constituency for several Sessions, has run away
from a threatened contest ; and Mr. R. S. MOORE,
an eminent Conservative barrister, replaces him.
In five or six other Boroughs, previously repre-
sented by nominees of the priesthood, the prospects

of the Conservative candidates are most flattering.
In Scotland the Radicals are well aware that their
truckling to Papal aggression will lose them many
seats; and in many of the Count ies, both of Great
Britain and Ireland, new candidates of Conserva-
tive politics are every day coming forward to
wrest the representation from the incapable hands
which have so well nigh made shipwreck of the
country.

But the actual gains from contented elections do
not spew all the strength which Lord DERBY is
acquiring. Mr. BRIGHT, more rampant than ever

since his recent triumph in 'Manchester, has inti-
;'mated that the first step to be taken by his party,
so so on as the Session opens, is the proposal of a
vote of no confidence in the Ministry. Of course
Mr. BRIGHT views, as the result of such a vote
being carried, the formation of a wide-basis admi-
nistration, of which himself, Mr. COBDEN, Sir
JAMES GitAHANr,.and the ultra-democratic of the
Free Trade party, will be prominent members.
But how many of the staid old gentlemanly Whigs,
who are set down in the lists of the members
elected as " Liberals" or " Free Traders," will
allow themselves to be impelled by pure faction
towards a step, of which consequences so disastrous
to the country must be the result ? We think that
we could point to some scores of such gentlemen,
new claimed by the Radical partymen- of standing
and property, with ancient British blood running
in their veins—who would shrink with horror from
such a revolutionary government as that would be
of which the Rochdale demagogue would be a
leading spirit. These men have few ideas in corn-,
mon with Mr. BRIGHT on other subjects than
Free Trade, and the vague thing called Liberalism ;
and, if the wild theories and daring designs of his
Manchester associates are once revealed to their
eyes, even in faint glimpses, they are most certain
to fall back upon a constitutional Government pre-
sided over by the Earl of DERBY, even at the sa-
crifice of a few of their favourite opinions, than to
eiltrust the Constitution, and the position they
enjoy under it, to the keeping of a revolutionary
faction.

It is a little amusing to notice the speculations
indulged in by the Whig Radical Organs upon the
subject of the cost which has been incurred by the
Conservative party during the Election of Liverpool.
From £lO,OOO to £25,000 have been named as the
sum expended. A little over half the former sum,
we are assured, would be nearer the mark. The
procession alone, it is conceived, must have been
tremendously expensive, from the gorgeousness of
the various banners and emblems displayed. But
it seems to be forgotten that the Conservatives of
this town, and the various societies of shrip- wrights,
ropemakers, coopers, &c., have all their own ban-
ners and insignia. Probably the Radical party
found their own procession rather expensive in this
particular, the allies, the Irish Romanists, being
provided with nothing of the kind beyond the
tattered ribbon flags, bearing the likenesses of Ge-
neral SARSPIELD, ROBERT EMMETT, the LIBERA-
TOR, and the POPE, which have been so often
-flaunted in the face of the Protestants of Liverpool,
on St. Patrick's day.

Two cases have occurred during the week—and,
no doubt, hundreds of other similar ones—illus-
trating the peculiar morality of the Raeicals in
electioneering matters. On Wednesday, during
the election in Liverpool, with a view, apparently,
of stirring up their party to increased exertion, an
announcement appeared in one of the windows of
the Mercury-office, purporting to have been received
by Electric Telegraph, that " four liberal candidates
had been returned for the city of London without
opposition." Great was the surprise of those who
knew that five candidates, one of whom, Mr. Mas-
TERMAN, is a Conservative, had been nominated
the preceding day. The conclusion to be drawn
was obviously that Mr. NIASTERMAN had retired,
and left the four Liberals masters of the field. Yet at

the very time that the wires—if such a despatch
was ever sent at all—must have been transmitting
this gross falsehood to Liverpool, the election was
proceeding actively in London, which at four o'clock
placed Mr. illasterman at the head of the poll ! Who
forged this telegraphic despatch ? The second case
occurred at Hull. The Mayor of that place, it seems,
is a Conservative; and, on the evening of the no-
mination, learning that an itnerant Radical spouter
intended to address a mob of •disorderly individuals
in the market place, and that danger to the public
peace might arise, from the holding of such a meet-
ing in the heart of a large town, issued a caution to
the inhabitants against being present. We give
the rest of the story in the language of the Hull
Packet :

After the Mayorhad done this, however, the 11 adical candi-
dates placarded their intention ofaddressingthe penplefrom
the Cross- Keys, Market-place, at half-past seven . A. tolera-
bly large assembly gathered together on the occasion,—
but the candidates did not speak, and had the inconceiva-
ble meanness to suffer their silence to be attributed to the
opposition of the Mayor. The Mayor was known to be
a hearty Conservative ; the Radicals thought it would fell
in their favour if the public were led to believe that he had
prohibited their candidates from publicly addressing the
electors ; and if we are not misinformed an ex-Mayor or
two was not ashamed to give public currency to this shame-
ful political rib. h servea iis purpose. stria ruen, tue
electioneering ends of the Radicals having been served at
the expense of the public refutation of the Mayor, Mr.
Clay had the unblushing effrontery to come forward on the
hustings last night, to call the Mayor his exceeding good
friend, to declare that he never believed the Mayor wished
to prevent him or his colleague from speaking to the peo-
ple, and coolly to add—as his excuse for this despicable
ruse—that " EVERYTHING THAT IS NOT ABSOLUTELY

WRONG IS FAIR IN ELECTIONEERING, AND IT SFAS

DCUBTLESS NO DISADVANTAGE TO US TO APPEAR FOR
THE TIME TO BE MARTYRS." We admire Mr. Clay's
ethics exceedingly. If it be" fair" to allow the fair fame
of an honourable and impartial magistrate to be unjustly
and dishonestly damaged in public estimation, in order to
serve an electioneering purpose, we won der what he con-to be " abso:utely wrong ?"

morality to the collsideration of the ge:,tiemen of

FOREIGN NEWS.

FRANCE.

The Paris journals are exceedingly barren of political
and domestic news. In the absence of such intelligence
they turn their attention to the elections now going on in
Englard, and each accordingly speculates upon the nature
of the support or otherwise that the Earl of Derby is likely
to receive in the forthcoming Parliament.

The Chateau of Bizy, belonging to the Orleans family,
has been seized, in accordance with the confiscation de-

A bill for regulating the constitutional organisation of
Algeria has been placed before the Council of State for
consideration. By this measure Frenchmen are to enjoy
in Algeria the same civil rights as in Franca. The politi.
cal privileges are to be governed by decrees from the
Prince President.

The heat in Paris was still very oppressive, but for the
last few days there bad been a sharp breeze, which had
enabled persons to support it better than when the ther-
mometer was at. 94 and 93 of Fahrenheit, and without the
least wind.

It has been stated by several of the journals that the
Duke de Montpensier has sold to the Prince of Monaco a
large portion of the property that he possesses in France,
having, in virtue of his marriage contract with the Infanta
of Spain, invested a considerable sum in the purchase of
land in France.

Fresh resignations in consequence of refusal to take the
oath continue to be announced.
Several sudden deaths have occurred in Paris since the
great heat has set in. Amongst others, the bodies of
three individuals struck with apoplexy were deposited at
the Morgue on Tuesday last. One of those persons died
in the neighbourhood of the Custom-house, and the other
two whilst crossing the fields—one near ➢iontrouge and
the other near the Batignolles. Two young men were
drowned on the same day whilst bathing in the Seine, near
Ivry, and a labourer was drowned on Wednesday, near the
Pont Royale.

Some few days of fine weather and of heat have made a
most wonderful change in the appearance of the crops in
almost all the departments. The hay, which at one time
appeared to be destroyed in the north of France, now
holds out the most flattering hopes.

AMERICA.

ARRIVAL OF THE BALTIC

The American mail steamer Baltic, which arrived in the
Mersey at a quarter past seven o'clock on Wednesday
morning. has brought advices from New York to the 26`h
ult., $500,009 in specie on freight, and 178 passengers.
atification meetings, approving the selection of Gen.
Scott and Mr. Graham as nominees of the whiz party for
the presidency and vice-presidency of the United States,
had been held in nearly all the cities and towns of the
United States. General Pierce had written a letter for-
mally accepting the nomination of the democratic party,
and General Scott had done the same with regard to the
Whigs. The presidential campaign, therefore, was fairly
opened ; but it was probable that there would be a sus-
pension of active movements until the close of the hot
season.

The Washington correspondent of the New York
Herald states that, at the solicitation of his friends, Mr.
Webster had consented to remain in office until the ex-

tract from the English government, for carrying the mails
from Halifax to Quebec, at a compensation of about
15,000 dols. per annum.

Whig candidate for thepresidency, Gen. Scott had addressed
a letter to the chairman of the Whig National Association,
accepting the nomination, and stating that, should he be

tary experience, namely, giving to all foreigners the right

In the case of the mutiny on board the ship John Ravenel,
and the death of Burnside, the mate, the authorities had
exonerated Captain Pittman from all blame in the trans-
action, and had furnished him with certificates to that
effect, which he can make use of in England, in case any
proceedings should be taken here. Lola Montes had again

From the capital of Mexico we have advices to the 6th
ult., and from Vera Cruz to the 12th. The papers are
filled with run:ours of a coup d'elat, by which despotic
power would be assumed by President Ariste. The Mexi-
can Congress adjourned on the 21st of May, after a session
of four-and-a-half months, in which time nothing had
been done to improve the situation of the country. A very
serious quarrel is said to have taken place between the
British Ambassador in Mexico and President Arista, a
quarrel that has induced the departure of the British Se-
cretary of Legation for London. It was reported that the
Government had despatched to the officers of the Cus-
toms at Vera Cruz, Tampico, and Mazatlan, orders to
suspend all payments, and to retain the specie paid in,
subject to the call of Government. The Vera Cruz papers
publish a decree from the Minister of Finance, permitting
merchants at that port to re-export their goods brought
from foreign ports into Vera Cruz, from Ist December to
the 26th of May, on which the duties had not been paid.
In Sonora, a body of Government troops had been at-
tacked by 300 Indians, and forced to retreat. Three of
the soldiers were killed, and a number wounded. The
Indians are said to have lost thirty or forty of their men.
The commerce of Mazatlan is represented to be in a most
miserable condition. A deep and wide-spread feeling of
irritation existed there against the State Government,
which rules with a rod of iron, and in a most despotic
manner. The &trio says, " The news from the State of
Durango continues to be of the most melancholy nature.
Hunger, sickness, and death are the subjects of every
letter, and the inhabitants dare not venture five steps
from their houses without exposing themselves to the
danger of being killed by the Indians."
We have Valparaiso accounts to the 26th May. The
