AUGUST 30, 15:36,

Mongers violated the very first fundamental principle of
their own charter of liberty, by re-instating the Queen
even, ad interim, in the false plenitude of her authority,
tinder it, as well as that of her new administration. We
ask the noble Foreign Secretary, " in our place," how
Qre these anomalies to be reconciled ? Are there any
Provisions in the quadruple treaty to meet their exigency ?
Is that treaty to be held binding, under all changes of
government and circumstances, with Christina, or her
masters? We wish to treat' the subject logically, and
even genteely—tenderly, if you please, under our battue,
"to assist in removing the bandage from the eyes of the
"tender deity," that he may shoot more dexterously
against the enemies of his favourite Queen, the arrow of
°l3 genius, especially as the last pull from his quiver, of
the little " Globe," recently levelled against ourselves,
fell harmless in the centre of our position, and which we
would not condescend to pick up, and, much more, scorn
to trample upon !

In our last, we gave free notice that the Irish cabinet
?r catholics were progressing with their administration,
1t having been decided in full conclave that they should
to all things take the lead of his Majesty's whigs, to
whom Dan of the base vial said, " We would not play
second fiddle' even though the greatest whig of the en-
tire lot should be richly decorated with the flowing curls
°fa lamb's tail." And for why ? " Because, said he,
" I carry a tail with a point at the end that will
take them all dance to my tune without a fiddler."
-tverily, this was most audacious, Master Dan ; but
really we cannot blame you therein, however we may
look down with contempt upon the servile company of
third-rate performers in state theatricals, who allow you
I??PlaYprimo buffo whilst they perform the puppets!
Well, the grand association, taking up Dan's solemn in-
ruction to cut down toryism, on or about the 23d instant,
argued their Proclamation to all " the boys" in all the
'counties of that "quiet and peaceable country known by
thee°gnomen of Paddy-land, commanding them to be at
their posts and to bring " yid 'em" the shellelah of all
" justice rent ;" and the following is the
nucleus of the order of the day for carrying on the opera-
tions:

Oat of valuable political immunities, and the much required

a7,exercise of the franchise, or the resistance of an odious impost,

'ellerous liberality of all !
3 flow, Englishmen, seriously, what think you of this
sikPeal? Did you ever hear of this mighty struggle
:joillifted a nation from the dust, and made the slave a
"'"? In what part of the moon did it occur ? Does it
apply to the Liliputian people whom Gulliver, by their
ding, lifted into the palm of his hand? Verily, it is so
Profoundly metaphoric we cannot comprehend it—we
must net aspire to the genus of such rhetoric—it is out of
rier vocabulary altogether. Marvellous indeed ! Is it
deltic ? Is it Hindoostanee ? Is it Sanscrit ? Or,
fatiler, is it. not Mulgravian ? Well, perhaps we have
the
the
key, and we will consult the chief Secretary !
But " the golden opportunity"—what is meant by
this? Are the poor ragged, half-famished wretches who
are commanded to bring the " sinews of war" to the
Fathering to have the interest for their pence returned
tt sovereigns? Undoubtedly, these very pence, filched
from the pockets of the deluded votaries, will supply the
:leans of wholesale bribers/ to the O'Connellite priestly
110 t of trading politicians, and so far may realise a
Piden opportunity to many, who will be equally ready
`,.° sell themselves, whilst others will be driven by the
before-practised means of proved intimidation; thus, a
perfectly free and honourable franchise will be secured;
.44 independent " tail members" returned ! Then those
who suffer for conscience sake"—poor souls ! What
:to lie done for them ? Why, they are to be provided

'j;itidges, and the rightful claimant is to be cheated of his

resistance to an odious invest."
Men of England! you have the climax partly before
you -let us furnish the rest. This Godly tribe—this
Atlta of political alligators, have long since declared war,
ea terminating war against the word of God ; it is not,
therefore, by any means surprising that they should de-
lare war against the law of man ! This they will not
honestly tell you they have done in implicit obedience to
the decree of the Pope, or the expressed wishes of his
"liness, who long ago fulminated against Bible so-
cieties. And why, Protestants of England, we would
enquire? Simply because the Bible breathes the awful
language of truth, and truth is entirely subversive of
:Itholicism, which is founded in mystification, fanaticism,
rtiDerstition, bigotry, intolerance, and falsehood—there-
tore' they would, politically, keep men in darkness, that
idbeY may wear the degrading chains of ignorance and
latrY ; and yet these are the reformed and reforming
papists whom the march of time—the march of intellect
orand tile march of that spectral ephemera, the " spirit
the age," has reclaimed ! Yes, these are the half-
bred' the less ingenuous spawn of that precious set who

murdering spiles—these, the hypocritical- semi papists
wi
1° affect to deny the temporal power of the Pope, and
i:t follow his very errors—who, while they preach to-
etati°ll, are intolerant by their very acts—aiming at the
x
In7eise of a positive despotism over the less informed
t4Cicttle more helpless portion of their own body—whilst
