Politics and fashion in allegiance, for the mo-
ment. Very little of interest is befor, the world to
stir up attention and to excitement it is fallen
into dead sleep. Not even the threat of an Irish
Religious Agitation, and all the incpient steps and
preparations of the belligerents are sufficient to
create any stir or apprehension. 1t is all like a
sham fight at a review. There is great deal of
smoke, and great deal of firing, but the guns and
cannons are only loaded with powder. That imbe-
oil apdv al ha oh
lished Church of England, is so completely in her
dotage, that she has stepped forward, in Ireland
fourishipg her broom stick to wage open war
and bid defiance to the Irish Catholics. What IA
tai results, what bitter exasperations, such mad
ness and folly may lead to, is not to be conceived
None but the church and its prelates established by
law, guilty among the Protestants, of this foy
the 1.-THE Church stands alone in the movement
1t is singular fact and especially deserving hito-
rical attention, that whereas in former days, when
Popery was in question, the Pedestrians Of all
names sided with the Church of England, yet in
the present memorable age, they have all deserted
her. There has been great eye-opening among
the Protestants; they see, and even proclaim and
assert, that the Queen has no more right to make
bishops and give them territorial titles, and large
revenues, sucked from the people, than anybody
which cannot be refuted, that the Pope has just
much right to make such bishops as the Queen.
The fact is, the prelates, by their gross. corrupt
coyetous conduct, their arbitrary insolence and
loneliness, have become disgust to the whole ma
ton. Yet these prelates have the madness and
folly to undertake a religious ca npagn in Ireland,
and to try to rally few old imbeciles and pension
ers Of the state, under the miserable, selfish, worn
out cry of "the church in danger" Like midnight
burglars, they are determined to betray and ruin
themselves by their own knockings.
The next subject of most public interest is the
state of France. The Times, and many others, are
sadly afraid that the Prince dc Joiuville will come
out a candidate in opposition TO Louis Napoleon.

and watching. II Carnot or any other candidate
brought out, it is not likely he would consent to

the Tunes reasons against his running, which
reasons are, Don't run, for the people would sup

The mighty battle which involves the question of
human progress and liberty, is undoubtedly to be
fought at Rome, fit has not already begun, and is
not now going on there. On one side, allied with
royal perfdy and cruelty, is aconcave If sleek and

world; and on the other side, are the people, with
the banner unfurled Of equal rights and universal

is the Pope himself, making common cause with
Austria, Russia, France, Naples and SPAIN against
mankind and their common rights. Ii is good to
know the enemy, to see their ranks drawn up in
battle array, to understand who they are, where
are their head quarters, what their forces, and
what their purposes. II must ever be borne in
mind that the power and organization Of the false

prestcraft is the true opponent and Antagonist of
the cause Of Justice and virtue. Never will
men act honestly to ore another-never, with
the law OF kindness and love, reign over
mankind, and society become q band Of harmony
and peace. so long as men follow the rule aod

names lay down for them to follow. II is time that
