"uow," says The Waterford Ners, " is in the dis

The Ntrs goes on to prove this that ireland is vr

rates this by the fact that o Donohue of tue Glens,
and Mr.. Blake, Of Galway, explain independent oppo-
position each in his own fashion, aud both different
from Moore.
What. saws The DrogLcda Argys Independent
opposition il undefnable among its advocates, as
the Protestant Bible among lis votares.' The DR.
gus then illustrates its assertion by the statements OF
the League members since, "A cOntrasted with those
before the elections, with Moores, their leader, or
Dufy's and Lucass long ago. 1t then refers to Mr..
Mcguire an advocate for independence in his pa

Mr. Fagans independence in Office" and II adds;
Mr.. Chichester F0rtescue, who, when candidate tor
" Lowth, was tor Independence, "a for Lowth has

The state of the case is then. simply this The

own d. finon TO Justify the course he may choose.
Ard now Shaman Crawford and the NOrtherns are to
have their organization; and DIR. Gray and the Mod

trCduces his measure-Tepudiattd by both the other
sections. Is it hard to tell the recepAD 1t will meet

Emancipation. LOCKER on;
PS.IBut there is no end TO our puzzles. The
Protestant Alliance is organizing associations all over
England 10 oppose the "aggresslOns OF the Roman
"Catholic Church the Protestant community.
Here it Is the Protestants who are carrying on the
"apgressions' against the Roman Catholics. The
priests from the sltars warn the people against the
Ragged Schools, Controversial Glasses, " Lee
tures," &c. Aud the mob mock, beat insult and
abuse all who frequent them. There Is not. The
police are ordered to keep the peace, and the rioters
are imprisoned. And the Rev. Canon McCabe, priest
Of Francis street chapel the Coombe, the scene
Of the riots, proposes TO the CnderSecietary Captain
Larcom 10 get the Protestant ArchblshOpo abolish all
these institutions, and conhne the PrOtesantS 10 their
parisb churChes-t TO keep the peace.
Aud-strangest puzzle of all Mr. Moore has given
notice for bis motion on Tenant Right on May p,
