Wonx FoR Mr. GLApsroNx.-The great oh
jest 81 Mr. 0Iadstone's Irish policy, 10 said, by
disoontent and dissaeotion, and the establish-
ment OF thorough goodwill for All future time
between Great Britain. and ireland. To this
END, they tell ne. bis Church Bill! and his Land
Bill haze been designed, and with this end In
view be will on IN fearly day sttempt such .
settlement Of the Educational Question as will
give general satisfaction In this country. It
has 20 great an end ir view (; but if so 1t is
but right for ns to say above board and at once
that the above-nsmed measures, even though
viii not suff1ce for it's accomplishment. They
xro but instslmcnts of what is due to Ireland,
spd Mr.. Gladstone himself has told US the
- people ought not to be satisfied with in
shillings:in tho pound that is to say, the
foil measure Of their political rights.
What will satisfy the heart Of Ireland, and
il the restoration Of their native Legislature
Without that they never will be content until
it IL conceded they will be q menace and q
danger to England. They have never yet ac-
quiesced in that abominable fraud, the Act of
Union /; from the date Of it's accomplishment
to the present time they have never ceased to
protest against it, and never until it is undone
can that fragrant wrong, that base and cruel
. outrage on the Irish nation be forgiven. To
insure q tranquil and friendly future for the
two countries that Act must be undone.
Book, lrishmen will erase its bitter memories
from their hearts, but not till then. The
wrong will be remembered, the insult will
rankle until sueh reparation il made. And
that wrong and insult will keep alive the
memory Of all the others; the chain of injuries
stretching far back intO the past, will be
brought by those links into connection with
the souls Of living men, and down along its
Nhole length will come the electrical Influence
of the sufferings endured, and the resentment
felt, by former generations Of Irishmen. The
true and effective stroke for the conciliation
of Ireland 10 one that we believe Mr.. Gladstone
could successfully make at the present moment
s. he had only the requisite courage. The
Repeal of the Act of Union is what ia needed
to blot ont the old record of strife between
the two nations, and to link them toge ther in
bonds of friendship. We believe that if Mr..
Gladstone chose to propose that great measure
Of peace, and to labor for its realization with
such earnestness and energy as he displayed in
the case of the Church and Land Bills, he
could pass it almost as easily as he passed
aim of Mr.. Gladstone's policy, the Object of
his highest ambition be-as we are told it is
to bring to an end the long history of hatred
and strife between Ireland and England, and
between them for the future, his course clearly
il to set himself at once to the cancelling of
the detested Act of Union. Let him give to
Ireland "the Hungarian settlement" and the
whole thing il done. Nothing short will ever
avail for the purpose he has in view. Lacking
such settlement, Irishmen will not be con-
tent and, in those days OF steamships and i'm

effective campaigns, with weighty issues vet
to be decided in Europe, with the ambitions
of great powers yet unsatsfied, and revolution
