population of the sister island. That is the principal
reason why so many of our countrymen are not awake to
'Abe infamous machinations of the Irish demagogues, and
the total disregard of truth which characterises all their
public and private conduct. .But the time is at hand, if
it be not actualiy arrived, when the 'flint will fall from the
eyes of every protestant Englishman—when :indignation
will displace apathy—when reason and common sense
Will resume their place,--when a corrective policy will su-
persede the influence of a false philanthropy, and when
" itutice shall be done to Ireland !"

The lords, by the noble stand they have made, by their
fearless spirit of independence, and by the unanswerable
reasons they have given for their conduct, have more
than ever endeared themselves in the hearts of the people
• of England. Lord GREY, in practice the caricaturist of
his own principles, professes to stand, by " his order."
The' conservative lords, on the contrary, have no order,
no object, but the good of their country. They will not
repeal the blessed reformation. They will not allow the
ging of ENGLAND, either by inclination or by threatened
compulsion, to prostrate himself at the footstool of an ar-
.•
.t.ogant, an ignorant, and a fetid priest. Ttiey will not
• . allow a band of heartless but venal conspirators, of Irish
breed, to dictate to the crown. They will not convert
the hallowed house of prayer into a confessional. They
' will die in the last trench rather 'than see their wives,
. their daughters, or their sisters dragged before the de-
spotic tribunal of an insidious Jesuit or an unmarried vo-
luptuary. Fur this Ave thank them ; and sure we are, in
doing so, we speak the sentiments and echo the infelt re-
sponses of the great majority of the people of England
and Scotland. •
The lords have now made their stand. They have
taken up what we shall take the liberty to call their best
and most invulnerable .position. They have closed the
door upon the insulting demands of the popish leader,
",'• 'and they have said to Lord JOHN RUSSELL, in as many
words, " bteak with him, or bear with him, just as you
please—we despisellitn, and we defy you ." What then
has the-son of the Duke of BEDFORD to do ? It is clear
lie cannot • keep terms with the man whom the premier
and Lord GREY denounced in a speech from the throne.
He surely will not have the insolence to ask his sovereign
to recall that speech, and decorate with some badge of
honour the man he had consigned to infamy. No, that
Is Out of the question. Lord JOHN has wounds of a ten •
deter nature to engross all his emollients. The priest-
Pauper was a drag upon his lordship's movements, like
the repellents upon a Dutchman skating up bill, going
two steps backwards for one in advance ; but Lord LYND-
n HURST has applied a blister to his locomotive power,
which wounds his honour quite as much as his feet. Fur-
Ward now lie cannot go; to stand still is impossible; to
sleep is death. In this dilemma his lordship has sum-
moned a Cabinet Council. What that council may de-
cide upon is comparatively of no consequence. If the
cabinet resign the nation will be grateful. If they pro-
rogue parliament the public will laugh ; for it will then
be obvious that a few months more of salary is all that the
wings wish or can extort by any procrastination of duty,
or by any sacrifice of principle, honour, or dignity. Out
"Ili must go very soon; and, like the dog that has es-
. taPed hanging only to be drowned, they will perish in
Putrid water, the tail only being observable on the sur-
face, too disgusting to be molested, and, like the yellow
0,4 over a plague ship, pointing where the victims of the
peat sleep in oblivion.
If 'Lord JOHN RUSSELL have any spark of courage he
Will resign, and appeal to the people at a new election.
That is all we ask. Give us this, and we will forgive
him!

Lord JOHN RUSSELL, by his contemptible trimming. on
the dissenters' marriage bill, has offered another insult
to the Church of England. We never could perceive the
necessity for any additional legislation un this subject,
why the dissenters should be permitted to make the
chligations of marriage a mere civil contract. In our
estimation, they have no more warrant for considering
the church service a grievance than the ringing of church
for they can escape from the one as well as the other.
APet'if there he*ouScientious 'dissenters who really and
-*lttestly- believe the-chufth'Service to be a grievance,
`Which we doubt, surely they can have no objections to
declare this conviction, openly, in order to obtain a li-
cense to perform Matrimony in any way they please.
They tray do it as it used to be in Venice, where was
seen.ennuolly
" The Adriatic wedded to our duke,"
by casting a ring into the sea. They may toss a ring
into a tea-cup, put both their heads into one noose,
"InP over a twig, present each other with a live goose,
ki4 irt any way not outraging public decency ; but they
4te no right whatever to celebrate marriage between
tnenlbers of the established church, or between any
Oirties..who will not openly declare that they.have con-
-406116011S scruples against being united according to the
eautiful and purely religious rites of the Church ofEng-
lnd.
Lord JOHN RUSSELL, however, thinks differently; for
on Tuesday evening, he, at the suggestion of WARBUIL-
-1711 BOWRING, BAINEs, and a few others, withdrew the
declaration, and passed the bill authorising the dissent-
" to celebrate marriage without requiring from the
forties any affirmation or admission that they do dissent
!nin the Church of England. Now we feel, confident
hat the lords never will consent to pass the bill in its
Ptesetat form. If they do, they will be creating facilities
,
clandestine marriages, intrigues of various kinds,
Ilea even seduction itself. We also feel certain that the
i're respectable and wealthy portion of the dissenters
