acceptable to their readers; and we may generally con-
clude with tolerable safety, that what is put forth in a
leading article is not regarded as very unacceptable to a
large portion of the readers ; in short that, more fre-
quently than not, it speaks their sentiments.
The following paragraph is from the leading article of
the Tablet (Roman Catholic newspaper) of last week;
and, though we can hardly suppose there are many Ro-
man Catholics who would quite approve of setting the late
Daniel O'Connell one step above the Pope, still we think

Roman Catholic sentiment, that political agitation is a
part of the Roman Catholic religion, and that the Pope
will take up, as a religious question, that which O'Connell
had been agitating as a political one
Whenoldage(says the Tablet) lays upon him (O'Con-
nell) its enfeebling touch, and he can toil no more—so
mercifully has God provided—the Catholic Agitator be-
holds provision made for consecrating his work by a
higher adoption, and for carrying it cm to a more com-
plete success by a holier agency. He leaves behind him
not an heir of his blood, nor of his race, nor of his nation.
But from another race and another country, and in an-
other state of life, God raises up and gives him to hail a
successor, who by position and opportunities is far greater
than himself, and in the programme of whose mission the
completion of all that O'Connell had commenced is but
one page out of many."
Now, if it be true that the Pope is expected to succeed
O'C 1, in the ----

,onne capacity of "Catholic Agitator," and
our Roman Catholic fellow-subjects are never to let us
have any peace till they have brought about a repeal of
the Union, there are but two alternatives left for those
who love peace. The one is, to keep them under, so that
they may not be able to do mischief;. the other, to con-
vert them, so that they may no longer wish to do it.
It appears to us, therefore, to be undeniable, that the
first question on which every one who loves peace ought
to seek full satisfaction, when he is- solicited for his vote at
the coming election, is whether the candidate for whom
lie is requested to vote is determined to prevent the Ro-
man Catholics from disturbing the public peace, as well
by firmly resisting every proposattending to increase their
power, as also by giving efficiency and encouragement to
the clergy of the Established Church in Ireland, in all
their endeavours to educate the- rising generation in a
knowledge of the Bible.
