      How Ireland Is Governed. Alas! Poor Coun...

      HOW IRELAND IS GOVERNED . Alas ! poor country _. Almost afraid to know itself . When rogues fall out , honest men come by their own .

      The Orango , massacre at Dolly ' s Brae , and tho subsequent dismissal of Lord _Roden and the Messrs . Beeks from the magistracy , has elicited a document , which discloses the particulars of a most atrocious conspiracy against the people of Ireland . The conspirators were the Government , and a small anti-Irish faction , called Orangemen , and the confessions of particulars is made hy the latter , because their co-conspirators have cheated them out of their share of the results of their

      combined exertions . It is no unusual thing when robbers quarrel about the division of tlieir plunder , for the losing party to " peach" on their companions in crime , and , whatever may be thought of the " approvers , " society accepts , and acts upon their evidence in self-protection . Ill this light we look upou the first Report ofthe Grand Lod ge of the Orange Society , detailing the negotiations and relations between tho Government and the Orangemen last year . It is the old story of _Peachum and Lockett , and both of

      the parties at issue may very properl y " adopt the language of these worthies , and say , "Brother , brother , we ' re both in the wrong , " The Orange confession is certainl y rather verbose . Its facts are so wrapped up in a cloud of words , that it requires a little patience to make them out , and excites no small wonder when tkey are mastered , at the _ingenuity by which they were enveloped in such superabundant and mist y verbiage . But with all its faults of construction and diction , it is not _what the Times calls it , " a mile of moonshine . " The facts are , there , and very disgraceful facts

      they are to the Viceroy , whom tho Tines has taken under its protection . He is turned the " seamy side"' outwards in a very edifying manner . The whole Report betrays that the concoctors were afraid to deal vigorously with the materials at their disposal ; but , despite the feebleness ofthe style , the softening down offacts-the insertion of blank lines / where names ought to have been given , it contains such an overwhelming exposure of low cunning , fraud , duplicity , and treachery , onthe part of the Government and its employes , as never before was given to the public .

      Let us briefl y state the case . Tho Orangemen thought they had entered into such an alliance with the Government , offensive and defensive , in 1848 , that in 1849 they could exhibit au the outward and visible signs of-having regained their former ascendancy over the Roman Catholic people of Ireland . The Special Act forbidding processions having lapsed thev celebrated the anniversary of the battle of Boyne Water , m the usual way , and with the usual _results-a _Rattle , and tne _^ i ef They sat on the bench , and refused to grant any inquiry into the maSSacro they had been guilty oft under the belief that , as iu theoE tunes , tho Government would abide by the

      How Ireland Is Governed. Alas! Poor Coun...

      - _^ - _^ E-SSfi first as Orangemen instigate aw . j Dolly ' s Brae , next exercised then ™ f _^ functions to screen the murderers , and refuse JU _dismissal seems to have taken _ftemby surprise . They could not believe _]** ' _™ < f ° verLent . whi / h had in 1848 * _%% _" »* compactwith them , in pursuance of whichhey i , „ A 00 n _fnrnishfid with arms , to put down tne _. _^' i

      Roman Catholics when the _^ vemment dreaded their rising , would turn round and treat them thus scurvily , when in w * J wey had committed a few murders on their own account . They set up a cry of treachery , and the Government organs responded with a Hat denial of their over having heen any compact at allbetween them and Lord _Clarendon . To prove the existence of that compact is the object of the Report . Let us briefly recapitulate what , to our mind , it conclusively establishes : — . Colonel Phaire was commissioned by the

      Government to negotiate with the Orangemen . Major Turner , the Lord-Lieutenant ' s Master of the Horse ; Mr . Corky Connellan , his Frivate Secretary ; Captain Kennedy , the Military Commandant of Dublin , and " other persons high in office , " also took part in these negotiations . The Government proposed to the Orangemen to become spies and detectives , and promised them , as an inducement , and as an evidence of its confidence in them , " that posts of great moment would be confided to their keeping . " The Orangemen ,

      on the other hand , encouraged these advances on the part of the Government , but fearing that it was not in earnest , from the higgling and protracted manner in which the affair was managed by his agents , determined , on the 22 d of April , to put the Viceroy ' s sincerity to the test . They therefore intimated to him , that on the evening of that day a resolution , condemnatory of his Government , would be adopted by the Grand Lodge of Dublin , unless stopped by a satisfactory movement on his part . The two points on which they all through took their stand , were , that they should bo recognised as Orangemen , and be provided

      with arms by the Government . The Loed-Lieutenant having been furnished with a copy of the threatened resolution , did not arrest tho parties who thus dictated terms to him , and set themselves in defiance to his Government . On the contrary , a conference was fixed for five o ' clock in the afternoon , at the house ofthe ' Grand Secretary of Dublin ; " and in the residence of this acknowledged officer of an illegal confederation and secret society , there actually did assemble at that hour Lord _Enwiskillen , the Deputy Grand Se _^ retarifor Ireland , the Grand Master of Dublin , and the Grand Secretary for Dublin , on

      the part of the Orangemen ; and Major Turner and Colonel Phaire on the part of the Government . Tho conspiracy began—as all conspiracies do—by an obligation to secrecy as to the " conversation" that might take place . The result was , that the Orange delegates gave Lord Clarendon ' s delegates their ultimatum , to be submitted to him for ratification and consent . This was , that they _demanded , in proof of the sincerity of Government , a grant of arms , and that , as an instalment , five hundred stand should be immediately granted , or the means of purchasing them , The vice-regal delegates retired , carrying with them these terms , and " about two hours " afterwards Colonel Phaire called on Lord

      _Enniskillen with a letter from Captain Kennedy — the officer entrusted by the _Government with the military arrangements for Dublin—in which the five hundred stand of arms demanded by the Orangemen were guaranteed . The Orangemen thereupon withdrew their resolution . Captain Kennedy paid them £ G 00 for arms , under pretence of the sum being raised by subscription , of which there is not the slightest proof , the whole being a device , ludicrously transparent , to cover the direct complicity of the Government . Sir

      Edward Blakjeney , the Commander ofthe Forces , received from the Grand Master ofthe Orangemen an official list of the Dublin Orangemen , and wrote an order to Colonel Browne , the head of the Police , sanctioning the granting of licences to have arms to an exclusive sectarian secret society- ; and , further , the leaders ofthe Orangemen , as such , were made aware ofthe plans of the military commandant . A similar course was pursued in the rural districts ; and thus the Government , while disarming the whole Roman Catholic population—while refusing arms to a " Defensive Association "—openly constituted

      of the most wealth y and respectable persons , of all classes and creeds—actuall y did arm the members of a secret society , known only for their inveterate hatred to the Irish people—for the bitterness of their sectarian animosit y , and for the blood-thirsty ruthlessness with which they have , at all times , gratified their savage instincts and antipathies . If this was not arming one part of the population against another , we know not what it is ; and , looking to the position of affairs in Ireland , at the time the event took place , it seems to ns to be upon a par with the engagement of bloodhounds to hunt down the Indians , by a former Government of civilised and Christian England .

      Colonel Phaire { Foul would have been a more appropriate name ) , did not confine his labours to the Orangemen . He was also active among the Confederates , whose rash but well meant efforts to achieve the independence and regeneration of their unhappy and oppressed country , it was the object ofthe Government-Orange conspiracy to defeat . The difference of the means employed in tlieir case , suggests a difference in the mon . The Orangemen

      were openly asked to become a bod y of spies aiid detectives , and promised gratification for thoir predominating instincts if they assented . But into the camp of the Confederates this _nalliuit Colonel had to creep by means of such infamous aud debased wretches as DoraiYN—the man upon whose evidence the patriot Wm . Smith O'Brien was doomed to the scaffold—and is now suffering life-long exile from tho laud he loved so well .

      The Whi gs , when out of office , are political purists . Their employment of such means in Ireland , and , concurrently , the suborning of such reptiles as Powell , Davis , and others , m this country , prove that in office they are steeped to the _li p 5 in political corruption , hypocrisy , and chicanery . They tread in tho footsteps of the most tyrannical and infamous of their predecessors . The onl y difference we can perceive is , that they have not tho same manliness—the same frank and unblushing audacity . They creep , and crawl , and lie

      mill have recourse to subterfuges , round-about devices , and clumsy tricks , - which deceive nobody , and only add contempt to the disgust ana indignation their conduct is _naturallv cal culated to excite . _J So much for one part y to this conspiracy . How stands the other ? " _Arcades _^/" both f" tmSlateS - " Black _S _^ s The Orangemen , both iu and out of Pariament , always assume that they are the only loyal people m Ireland . We have often heard

      _tolonel VamraB _fc one house , and Lord _Roden in the other , assume that as a matter of course , and it is so repeated iu thisve y Report . At all times , their boasts of loyalty and attachment to the British crown andW _nexion are ostentatiousl y paraded _asthedS-. nguishing ana redeemin g virtue of the fa - tion . On the strength of this virtue , thev _todedm paces and pensions , and grasped at the exclusive monopol y of power ! For

      How Ireland Is Governed. Alas! Poor Coun...

      : Jreland , and supported in their infamous _oppression ofthe subjugated millions of Roman Catholics , whom they trampled in tho dust , and deprived of the commonest civil and political rig hts . Eventhedreariestpages _ofRussiaa or Hungarian despotism , contain scarcel y any blacker or more revolting examples of wanton bloodshed or rampant oppression , than the histor y of Ireland under Orange sway . At

      length their tyranny became so intolerableit threatened so utterly to destroy the whole nation / that the power to do mischief was wrested from them , much from the same feeling as prompts people to wrest a razor or a pistol from a madman . For some years past , they hare been obliged to " pave hell " with their " good intentions , " instead of making " hell upon earth" with them , as they used to do . .....

      But the tiger instinct , though held in check , was not extirpated . They were always on the watch to regain their lost ascendancy , and the position of the Government at the commencement of 1848 , seemed a favourable time to make an . effort . Europe was shaken by the revolutionary earthquake which , at that time , shook and overthrew so many thrones . Chartism in Eng land—Nationalism in Irelandmade our rulers nneasy , and their tenure of power insecure . Loyalists , such as the Orangemen profess to be , would have seized that opportunity for offering their assistance , unreservedly , to the existing authorities , because " tho _nowers that be are of God . " But

      Orange loyalty is neither a chivalrous nor a pious loyalty . It is as selfish as it is sectarian . Its only objects are power and pence for themselves , proscription , persecution , and oppression , for the religionists they hate . Hence they tookadvantageof Lord _CLAUEKDON'sdAui culties . They got up an address and resolutions of a hostile character , in order to add to his embarrassments , and forco from him that recognition of their ascendancy which otherwise they might not have attained . We now see clearly how to value the big , boastful speeches which were made in Parliament about that time , when " noble lords" and "hon . members " offered their lives and those of their

      tenantry , and ostentatiously departed from their legislatorial to their feudal duties , promising to rally their retainers , and fight for the Queen and Constitution . It was all a mere sham ; The veriest piece of humbug . All the while they were playing the cards for one great object only . They wanted the control of the Government of Ireland back into their own hands . They thought they had succeeded , but the Whigs cheated them as well as the Roman Catholics , whom they treated to so much " blarney . " The onlyresultof all thisplotting and counter-plotting is , that the "Whi gs are still in office , and that Ireland is a by-word and a reproach among all nations .

      Ay ! and so it will continue until the people shall arise in their strength , and deprive the combined conspirators of the power to oppress them . If there is any one thing in the world that could send the blush of shame to the brow of an Irishman , or make tho blood circle quicker in his veins than another , it should be this Report . When he sees how an alien Government and a selfish faction have combined to promote their mutual interests at the expense of his conntry , and to perpetuate class misrule and sectarian domination on the

      rum and destitution of the great mass of his fellow-countrymen , surely it should rouse all to a sense of the necessity for a national , practical , and energetic effort to throw off a yoke so galling and so disgraceful . The petty bickerings and jealousies which have divided the sons of the soil—the real people of Ireland—from each other , should be discarded ; men of all classes , and creeds , and politics , should unite in one powerful phalanx , and demand that Ireland shall be permitted to take that rank among nations which its situation , its resources , and

      its population entitle it to . The Orange revelations have put a powerful weapon into the hands of the Nationalists . They show the rottenness and worthlessness of the machinery by which the country is governed—the dirty tricks and infamous devices h y which the Government is upheld . Let the quarrel of the rogues , in this caso , turn to the profit of honest men . Let us , in future , have Ireland governed by Irishmen , for the benefit of Ireland , instead of being an arena for the display of tlie worst vices ofa bad Government , and the worst passions of a blood-thirst y faction .

      PARLIAMENTARY PROSPECTS . Indications that we are approaching another Session of Parliament begin to make their appearance . For the last eight or ten days Cabinet Councils have been pretty regularly held , and numerously attended . It is conjectured , that the fate of many of their Bills iu former Sessions , has impressed the Ministry

      _ivifch the necessity of really knowing what they themselves mean when p roposing a measure to Parliament , and that they are engaged at present in the process of ascertaining that fact . It is very probable tbis is the case , because there are no foreign affairs of urgent moment to call for their consideration ; and if they were to meet-dail y for the next two mouths , there is plenty of work requiring to be done at home .

      The visit of Sir R . Peel to the Duke of BEDFORD—brother of the Premier—at Wbburn , has been taken in some Quarters to mean that a change in the Ministry is on the _fapw . That Sir Robert himself would take part in a regular Coalition Ministry wc do not believe ; that he is disposed at present to take _office in any shape , we very much doubt . But his party are not so squeamish or indisposed to office , with its loaves and fishes . Lord Lincoln , Sir James Graham , Mr . Sidney Herbert , and Mr . Cardwell , would have no

      objection to resume their seats on the Treasury Bench ; and Lord John ' s regiment of subor _* _dinate heads of departments is not so well drilled , or sp . efiective , as to have prevented hira on various occasions from looking wistfull y at the benches on the other side of the table . It is , therefore , not improbable thatsomeshuffling of the cards may take place , either before or during the session . Meanwhile , as an index to the topics that are supposed to be under consideration , a rtTSf _fe . . obtaiH ed oa the Stock Exchange that the Ministry intend to reduce the interest upon certain portions of the National Debt

      . t Looking at the present abundance of money m the market , and tbe low price at which it can be had , they could not adopt a moretimelv measure . It will be recollected that Sir R . 1 EEL , during his last Premiershi p , took advantage of somewhat similar circumstances to enect an immediate saving of _£ G 50 , 000 , and a _WfSr ? r ? ne of _£ ( J 50 > 000 _more-mald- ag in all £ 1300000

      , , a year . There can be no more legitimate or unobjectionable mode ( even oa the principles of the money-mongers themselves ) of dealing with our enormous Debt , than this . We are surel y not bound to pay more to the holders of stock than they could get for their money in the open market ; and , ii the Bank of England finds it necessary , ii consequence of tho abundance of money , to charge only two and a half per cent , on its ct

      _uvances tne stockholder has no xignt to grumble if he is paid at the same rate . . By vigorousl y following up tWs policy _nimediate and _pemanlnt _^ _arge _^ _-educthou could be _; made m that most oppressive of all hiianmUurdens , the National Debt . It is fte opinion of Mr . Samuel _Uusne y , and other great financial authorities , thatif something is not done to reduce it , it will , ultimatoly dragtbs countr y down into utter ruin ; ana it is quit 0 certain that , until this _monster-ioad W li ghtened , no very perceptible reduction 0 f aimiaa i expenditure can take place , Tho money-lords have had it all their
