LAND STRUGGLE-PRESENT POSITION
There is no one now, either in the Press or at &
apblic meeting, who advocates the lettings alone
system, who dcprecates legislation about the
land in ireland who talks in the old style Of things
Fighting themselves who even imagines that the
landlords either ought or can continue the same
absolute, irresponsible, ieuda lords as heretofore
This is one result Of the agitation that now IN
sludes nearly the Whole populations Another is
that by discussion and illustration many things
have come to appear, in the eyes OF Landlords and
landlords papers, not halt so ugly, revolutionary
communistic and so on, as they once seemed.

nothing in the land so sacred to place the rcla-
ton between the proprietor and the occupler out
OF the pale OF legislation that embraces all else
factories, and time, and workmen, and railways,
and fisheries, and Bishops, Curatcs and Churches,
and schools and universities, and parks, streets,
cabs and omnibuses-it is equally admitted that
it may take q wider range, and go higher INTO the
matter; even to the giving equal security ana
equal rights to the poor man aud his little all, as
to the rich and his magnificent, prlnceiy posses
sions.
The wide ramGcations which the League is
taking, from the impulse given by the county
meetings extending to the eXtremltles leading
to the formation OF countless Tenant Socleties-
all connected with the general ones; and thes @
again all with the League, makes membership
dangerous-if the Attorney General should be-
come savage, which, in the case OF the present
one MIR. Hatchcll, is not very likely; or ii folly
should set some wild spirits from seeking land
rights to rebellion, which, after what has come and
gone is even less probable. Nevertheless, some
have Withdrawn, as the Messrs. Grays OF the
Freeman, whose example, however, has not at
tracted any followers.
Prospective fears and past enmitics keep some
ont of the League-as John O'Connell, who,
strange to say, not only stands aloof though
Archbishop MacIIale and Bishop CantWel both
wrote appaudingly to the Meath meeting; and
Mr. Lucas of the TABLET, is leader But Duffy
and "Young Ireland" are enrolled and Pres6y
terrain Parsons and their adherents are prominent;
and it would not be easy to decide whether he
less likes union with opponents IN politics, or COM
partnership with dissentients In religion.
And, while wise and moderate Proprlctors are
adhering to the League-many, with view to
keep its demands within the bounds OF justice
and moderation; and others, under protest against
what they conceive excessive or unreasonable
there are still some whose conduct and claims IL
usrate the necessity Of the restrictions sought to
be imposed upon their tyrannical despohsm.
Thus the Marquis OF Londonderry sent lus Agent
the other dav to give notice to quit to one oil
the Presbyterian Ministers of ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
ing his Agent to tell him, that he would have no
one resident on his property who was SOWING
1iscontent among lis tenantry. Mr.. MCCULLOUGH,
the gentleman in question, solemnly declares,
that the head and front of his Offending hath this
extent no more: That he joined his Hook, and
was their spokesman III representing TO the great
man the misery oil his tenantry and their utter
inability to pay their eXorbitant rents with the
present prices OF farm produce. Tins is the noble
man who contends that 1t is better tenontnght
should remain a boom, than become guaranteed
by law "Tlere tenant right as boon for you,
saws the PRESBYTERIAN ParSon. The Marquis
like Lord Stanley who nailed his Protection
colors to the mast, and only waited for the "nI
guards and at them of his party, but who la'
already declared the battle hopeless and advised
farmers aud landlords to agree aud make the oes
of things MS they are-The Marquis IN limitation
