HARcouRr's VIEWS.

LONDON, Oct. 26.-SIr William Harcourt,
speaking at Glasgow yesterday, after receiving
the freedom of the city, said both the late and
present governments were reluctant to proceed
at an early stage against the Land League, be-
cause it was not desirable to suppress what
pretended to be constitutional agitation, es-
pecially if connected with real grievances.
But when such agitation avowed illegal views,
no government would fail to be supported in
any aud all measures it might take for the
safety of society. The task, he said, was diff
cult and painful, but the government having
set its hands to the plow, they might rely
upon it's not turning back The speech re-
ceived prolonged cheering.
POSITION OF THE GOVERNMENT.
Last night at Liverpool, Chamberlain, radi-
cal member of parliament for Birmingham,
devoted considerable time to an exposition of
the governments recent conduct of Irish off
GERS. He said, "If loyal leaders did not coun-
tenance, they permitted acts of outrage and
system Of secret terrorism which no civilized
government could be expected to endure The
common sense of the country and political
opinion OF Europe and America as shown
universally in form of the press, all confirm
me when say the objects of the Land League
have been developed and have altogether
changed their character since the land act
passed. The original objects were even praise
worthy. To stifle agitation at such time
would be to have prevented reform, and would
have brought evil to thousands and tens of
thousands of innocent people now protected
by the land act.
ANOTHER CLERICAL LETTER.
Rev. VIM. Fitzgerald, D. D., Catholic bishop
of Ross, has issued a letter in condemnation
of the rent manifesto of the Land League, in
which he says the manifesto excited wide
spread dismay among the best and truest
friends of the Irish people.
