LißniiTy IN IRELA.ND.

We have been favodi•ed with the pertisal of a letter addressed
to a gentleman, of well known and high respectability, of this
town, showing the degree of liberty and security of life arid
roperty enjoyed in Ireland by those who presume to think
for themselves or act without having the fear of popish proscrip.

Lion before their eves. The letter, which we copy, suppressing
Only the names of the parties, will speak for itself:—
"Ballintearrig,,Bth Nov, 1835.
"My Jeer * * *,—l want to enlist your sympathies and
interest on behalf of one of our poor fellows, who is obliged to
quit the country from dread of his life being taken. His father
is a tenant of * * * * *'s, and always supported his
landlord; for this his property was threatehed, and some villains
being caught by this young man in the act Of cutting off his cow's
tails he convicted one of them at. the last assizes, anti soon after
on his way to Carlow he was met by a man whb asked him was not
he * * * ? On his answering in the affirinative, the mein
presented a pistol at him, which fortunately misseillieerx.fa he
then fled. He has been repeatedly threatened since, and we
consider his life in such jeopardy, that he has been induced to
leave home for a time. He is a fine young able lad, willing to
put his hand to anything, and I think would make an excellent
porter. Should you be able to get him employment your doing
so would confer a great favour on us. I can give you every as-
surance of his 'being a most proper, honest, well-conducted
young man. You know I make it a point never to claim your
Favour for any save those deserving it. I may say that he has
never been beyond the smoke of his father's house.—Believe
me as ever yours, "* * * * *

WARRINCiiON OPERATIVE C6NBERVATIIVE

ASSOCIATION.

Who among the ranks of the destructivei will now have the
hardihood to assert or pretend to believe that the great mass of
the artisans and mechanics of Great Britain are tainted with
disloyalty, or that they are generally disposed to be even
passive spectators while the church--rwe should say rt
ClitTßCH—is beirig plundered and the other institutions of THEIR
country undermined or rendered lesi efficient for the general
good? When Stich an assertion is haiarded, the answer—the
practical answer should be, " Operative conservative associa-
tions have been formed, or are now forming, in every consider-
able manufacturing district or-commercial town in the country
—spontaneously formed by the good sense and the good feelings
of the operatives themselves."

Scarcely a day passes in which we do not receive, either
throe gh the public papers or through private communications,
accounts of the progress of the spirit of operative conservatism.
Our Warrington correspondent informs us that on Tuesday
evening last the first meeting was held for the purpose alarm-
ing one of those associations in that town, and that it was exclu-
sively attended by operatives whri formed themselves into a so-
ciety. Their primary object is, to open a reading-room for the
perusal of •conservative newspapers andother publications cal-
culated to instruct them in their civil, religious, and moral
duties, as men and as citizens. TO aid them in this good work,
we trust the gentlemen of their neighbourhood will supply them
liberally with the necessary materials, namely, good books and
good newspapers, which would long since have been read by
them if they had been within their reach. We subjoin a copy
of the conservative creed, which, we are happy to find, has
been very generally circulated among the operatives of War-
rington :
