now has churches and schools, and soon will
have free lands and votes. Ireland is moi
wealthy, but We con buy from her all she has
to sell, and sell to her cheaper than can any
other nation. Our plans of pacifcatlon may
fail. hope not We propose new conquest
only weapon will be frank and generous
justice, potent to reunite nations long separa-
ted by oppressive neglect. Loud cheers.1
From this new policy great changes In Ire
land may be anticipated. We shall not make
it Paradise lost but greatly improved. He
quoted the lines from Pope commencing.
''Tien crime shall cease" and added, no Ian
guage like this is exaggeration.
II we can suppress conspiracy, Danish agra
rian crime, unbar prisons, reduce martial
force, and make Ireland as tranquil as Eng
land or Scotland, something will be done to
justify our craftsmanship. , education fe
still untouched. There, as hell, IN less than
general consent. The children Of the people
must be educated. Plans vary, some even;
proposing compulsion. The government list
ems anG learns from discussion; religious diff
culties vanish, and nobility insists on enforcing
creeds or dogmas on pupils. If the govern.
ment gives money, half of it at the least must
go to the establishment, powerful because 1t is
unit.
Besides, a vast body most in need of teach
ing are of no sect. These difficulties will dis
appear before the cry of the people for know
ledge, and soon universal education will be
the law. The speaker then discussed the COM.
mercial treaty with France. Protection, he
said, was an unpopular and malodorous work;
reciprocity was more palatable. The Tories
had three pollcies-one for the counties, one
for Manchester or Birmingham, and the third

The orator defended the treaty, presented
a variety of arguments and Illustrations. He

English, but the difference was unimportant.
Other nations In Europe had adopted like
measures, which were big with pacific results.
Under ten years OF the treaty peace and con-
fdence unknown before between France and
England had grown up.
Mr.. Golden had proved his creed that every
step towards free trade Is stride towards
universal peace. Mr.. Bright continued by an
appeal and warning to the workingmen Of Bir-.
mingham. Beware, he said, of men who con-
fuse the faith of the people. The government
can do many things, but there are others which
no power can do.
You have votes, and votes are power. It is
probable thai before another general election
every voter In the United Kingdom will have
the shelter Of the ballot. Our prospective
policy, the speaker said is but little for the gov
ernment is unable to drive six stages abreast
through the Temple Bar. The educational
measure might come up at the coming session,
but this was uncertain. Retrenchment, II
agitated, was sure, but necessarily tedious II
wrong is avoided. For free trade breakfast
tables are strong advocate. He would bid
all nations bring their wholesome products In
free, but he said this as q representative, not
as q minister. Free land, within ten years,
would be the leading question. The alteration
of the land laws without diminishing any mans
wealth would do much to arrest paupcrism.
The speaker then debated on temperance
and the social virtues, wanting which society
could have no benefit from legislation. It is
with vrtuous people that we hope toward
make some step to that blessed time when there
shall not be longer complaining in our streets,
when our garners shall be affording all manner
Of store.
The speech was frequently interrupted by
applause, and the orator resumed his seat
amid great expressions of enthusiasm.
