EXTRAORDINARY ECONOMY TO TEA DRINKERS . THE DESIRE OF ENGLAND . —The PIOJUA PLANT , now sold at 3 s . Gd . per lb ., is three times the strength of tea , and is also equal in flavour , more delicate in taste , nfinitely more healthy , as is proved by physicians and chemists of high standing , also by persons in great numbers witb the most delicate lungs and stomachs . It is most pleasant and invigorating , and is recommended to the debilitated for its invaluable qualities , to advanced age for its strengthening properties , and to the public generally for its moderate price and intrinsic excellence . The Test . —The proof of the efficacy and healthful jeffect of the plant in preference to tea or coffee : —Let a ( aerrous or dyspeptic patient use two or three cups of . strong tea upon retiring to rest , and the effect will be night-mare , disturbed sleep , and other violent symptoms of indigestions , &c . The Paoor . —Let the most debilitated , dyspeptic , asthmatic , consumptive , and nervous patients use two , three , or more cups of a very strong infusion of tlie Piqua Plant , and in the morning they wUl awake refreshed with their repose . It is highly recommended by physicians to invalids and children as a most invigorating and pleasant beverage . The following are reasons why the Piqua Plant is superior to tea , viz .: — 1 st . Because it is beneficial to health . 2 nd . It does not injure the nerves . 3 rd . Children may use it with advantage to health . 4 th . It docs not prevent sleep . Stb . A quarter of a pound will go as far as three qiiarters of a pound of tbe best gunpowder tea . Gth . It is strengthening and nutritious . 7 th . It is recommended by physicians , and tea is disapproved of by them . It greatly improves the voice ; it is recommended to singers and public speakers . TESTIMONIALS . 50 , Edgeware-road , July 1 st , 1843 . Sir , —The beverage under the name of Piqua Plant I have drank for some time . It was first recommended to my notice as a salutary beverage by a friend , who is a great dyspeptic , and I have since recommended it to several patients suffering from chronic affections of the digestive " organs , heart , and lungs , witb mauifest advantage . —I am , sir , yours , &c . To Hr . Win . Evans . John Bktakt , SI . D . 18 , Louther-strcet , Whitchavcu . Sir , —I am nearly out of the plant again . My sale has doubled since I sent the last order ; indeed , it is fast finding its way among some of the best families in the town , and is nighty approved of . Please send me 501 bs . mnicdiatcly . —Yours , very respectfully , To Mr . Wm . Evans . J . Boustead . Dover-road , Southivark . Sir , —I am much pleased with your Piqua Plant ; and find that a portion of it mixed in tlie tea-pot witli tea , is a very great improvement to anj tea , particularly green tea . —Tours , &c , To Mr . Wm . Evans . G . B . Belvidere-place , Borough-road , July 17 th , 1 S 43 . Sir , —I hare great pleasure , and indeed I consider it an mperative duty , in justice to you , and for the benefit of others , to bear testimony to the excellent qualities of the Piqua Plant . It has wholly removed a constant painful nervous debility with which I was affected , which produced restless nights , and consequently overpowering langour during the day . Since tbe use of the infusion the disease has entirely disappeared . I sleep soundly often for six , seven , and eight hours together , and am better in health than I have been for many years ; and others , to whomlhaTerecommcnueait . have experienced the same beneficial results . Ycu are at liberty to use this testimonial , which I am ready to confirm in person any day you thiuk proper . —I am , sir , your obedient servant , To Mr . Wm . Evans . G . Tahoubdii ? . Kumcrous testimonials from pujsicians , and others , oi undoubted authority , may be seen at Evans ' s depot . The plant is patronised by many of the first families in the land . The economy derived from the use of the Piqua riant , compared with tea , is as follows : —lib . of tbe plant will go as far as lib . of tea .

TO THE MEMBERS OF THE NATIONAL ORDER OF INDEPENDENT ODD FELLOWS , IN MANCHESTER , SALF 0 RD , AND OTHER DISTRICTS . BRET HREN , —A Placard has lately been circulated through this and other districts , signed W . Ratcliffe , C . S ., containing the grossest falsehoods , and holding out a delusive bait to entrap the unwary , hoping by this meant to get you once more within their power , that they may make a selection of Victims to glut their vengeance . We need scarcely warn you to beware of their machinations , for too mnny of you have already experienced their tender mercies . You have the . choice before you—whether you will submit to a tyrannic' despotism , where the Executive claim to be superior to the Law , and to assume an uncontrolled right over your liberties and your properties , or whether you will enjoj the blessing of just and impartial laws , with the power of regulating your own finances . What free man would hesitate for a single moment * They insult you with the gross falsehood , that numerous applications have been made for re-admission , and that arrangements have been entered into for that purpose . They may spare themselves the trouble ; none who are happily free from their unjust and iron rule will ever again voluntarily place themselves within their grasp . Look at the miserable remnant they can boast in the Manchester and Salfoid Districts , and ask yourselves the question if THIRTEEN THOUSAND MEMBERS in those two Districts alone would have left the Order , unless upon good and sufficient reason . They know the rottenness of their cause , and they have recourse to the vilest falsehoods and misrepresentations , to endeavour to recover their lost ground . They boast of their new system and the stability it will give to the Unity . We spurn their shallow pretences , and laugh to scorn their insidious attempts to get the Funds of the whole of the Lodges under the control of a central power . They would make jou believe that you are in an " awful" situation , and that you must inevitably perish unless you are taken under their protection . "Yes , such protection as Vultures give to Lambs—covering them and devouring them . " Do not let these vile falsehoods have the least weight with you , our Funds are amply sufficient to meet nil demands upon us , notwithstanding they are using their utmost endeavours to retain in their hands that money which is ours ; but they shall be signally disappointed . And your security is greater , that we reject with scorn their cold-blooded calculations that would deprive the Widow and the Orphan of relief in their hour , of destitution , and that we profess the ancient principle of Oddfellowship , never to see a brother want ; and we shall be the better enabled to make our professions good that we have no extravagant salaries to pay ; nor to support the expensive machinery of a cumbrous and complicated government . They profess to take the sense of lodges as a paltry subterfuge to enable them to get out of the difficulty in which they have placed themselves ; the opportunity is well chosen , after they have cut off upwards of 20 , 090 of the most determined opponents of the system . Their idea of the whole Unity becoming a mutual benefit society is a farce , and one which they well know cannot be carried into effect , and ivliich only holds out a premium for carelessness and neglect . They state that we have nothing to lose . It is true we have not , as they have , heavy salaries to be reduced—nor the immense profits made by those who supply the Order with goodsnor the snug jobs got up to reward their crawling sycophants—they have all these to lose ; but their losses shall be our gains . In the meantime , our cause is progressing in spito of every obstacle they can invent . Our present numbers are stated below , and we receive daily the most flattering assurances of support from every part of tho kingdom ; it is but a question of time with tens of thousands , who are ready to join with us heart and hand . Let them , therefore , proceed in the cause they have adopted ; let them exhaust their whole stock of calumny and falsehood ; we deride their puny efforts ; our cause is the cause Of TRUTH AND JUSTICE—and we null prevail . The following Districts have already joined us , viz . : — Liverpool District , . No . of members 4000 Huddersfield „ „ 1 G 7 G Manchester „ > „ 8 GD 2 Salford „ « . „ 2956 Stockport „ „ 215 Eceles „ - „ 750 Rochdale „ - „ 78 Gorton „ . ,, 17 Devonshire „ - „ 20 Bury „ . „ 52 Aberdeen „ . „ 29 Disley „ - „ 170 R .

PEEL AND HIS "DIFFICULTIES . " IRISH "CONCILIATION , " AND ENGLISH "SHORT CROPS " AND " SPECULATION . " IIiinEEio Peel has had a most wonderful "run . of good luck . " Coming into power , as he did , at a period of great " commercial depression ; " when " late PANIC " had hung on the limbs of commercial enterprise for years , paralysing every exertion , and superinducing gloom and dismay in all minds ; coming in at the end of a cycle of bad harvests , and at the end of ten years of gross mismanagement on the part of the Whigs , whose blundering , or whose
anxiety to feather their nests , so bare from their long exclusion from power , prevented them from raising an income equal to their expenditure , and who , therefore , were constrained to add to that debt the enormity and expense of which has acted like an incubus on the energies of the nation for the last half century ; coming In , under such circumstances , and having the foresight to take advantage of the great confidence reposed in him to give a turn to commercial affairs , to institute the principle of direct taxation on realised property and income—and being blessed , moreover , with three great and glorious harvests in
succession , which caused food literally to abound ; coming in under these circumstances , and when America -was recovering from the depressing effects of her " late PANIC , " consequent oa the immense issues of paper-money and the accompanying freney of speculation—and when , with this , the war with China was brought to such a fortunate termination as to open up to our merchants and trade rs a market of most immense extent : coming in under these circumstances , and being aided by adventitious ones , Peel's career has been eminently successful as a whole : and he has been thn first
Minister for the last thirty years that has had showered on his head such high , commendations from all classes of the commercial and trading world , almost irrespective of old party distinctions . Hie financial measures ; his repealing . of many of the duties on raw materials and on products employed in manufactures , and exacting a tax from property and income , brought him not only an in . come equal to liis expenditure , but left him thai wonder of modern times—a surplus wherewith ( o purchase the repeal of other taxes that pressed on the productive energies of the kingdom : and thus he

I mm JLw ^^ * " ¦* - * <¦• »^ "' was enabled both to 1 'estore" " -confidence" in the " money market , " and thus-niUke " accommodation " easy , and give an impetusio the general manufactur in ? interest , setting the . becaimed vessel on the stagnant waters once . more afloat on the tide ot " high rnosr-uniTY : " though his operations have fixed on the owners of nvonoi'ty and enjoyers of income the tax they regard as e ^ odious ' Joeyomi the possibility of wriggling it off so long as the present charge on the debt lasts . The . good harvests also aided his financial measures meat opportunely ; for , by making food plentiful , and thus rendering it unnecessary to ,
purchase from abroad , they retained at home immense sums of money to be employed in industrial operations , that would otherwise have had to be sent to other countries in exchange for the corn we were short of . The improved aspect of affairs in America , on the recovery of that country from a dire and misory-scattering monetary revolution , and the new Chinese treaty , also came in aid of his measures : so that altogether , so far , Peel was "in luck ; " and he has had the credit of havingbrought about a period of " FBOSPEBm" totally un " precedented in all our previous histories of
"Prosperities" and their accompaning " Panics . " In periods of frosferite , few parties , even the most virulent and unappeasable of politicians , are disposed to fifld fault with the Minister : and from a like cause , in periods of distress and "ruination" scarcely any Minister can stand . It was from Ms cause , that so many of the trading classes so readily gave up the Whigs at the last general election : anxious as they were , that somebody else should try to tinker up the old kettle ; and aware as they were that any change could hardly be for the worse . With this class , poh " iical reasons go a very short way . As for patriotism , they have no conception even of the meaning of the teym ; much less of the duties which it imposes on them . They may be attached to their " party ; " ancli
m ' ordinary times , willing to be as subservient to party as can be desired ; but with them the real touchstone of goodness is such success in finance as will bring about " a roaring trade ; " and to the sleeve of the man who for the time being can accomplish tlus , will they pin their faith ; sacrificing to him the principles and claims of their party as readily and with as little remorse as a Leadenhall butcher sacrifices the lives of young lambs . Many who ac t from motives such as these , contributed no small share of the exertions that raised Peel to power ; and by them he has been well sustained : while the general success of his financial and trading measures has blunted the edge of the keenest opposition , and altogether ( for the Itime ) disarmed those that are neither "hot" nor " cold . "
Not that Peel ' s career has been wholly free from difficulties . Far from it . But then his position in relation to his ( once ) party and the circumstances of the times , has enabled him not only ( for f he time ) to surmount some of those difficulties—but actually to turn them to advantage . He had to work a party , pledged to the teeth to maintain a certain course of policy both towards Church and State : that policy he had to break down—and he had to make the party
pledged to maintain it , his instruments for their own destruction . Placed as he was at their head ; being their only "leader ; " being the only man they had capable of grappling with the difficulties of the hour ; fearful of losing their hold of that power which they had once more wrung from the hands of the incompetent Whigs ; hungryfrom a ten years' absence from "the loaves and fishes" : thus circumstanced , they were constrained to throw themselves into the inexorable Minister ' s
arms , and be dragged by him through all the mire and filth of tergiversation , apostasy , and unfaithfulness . Once chained to the car , there was no retreat . " In for an ounce—in for a pound . " Independence once gone , there was no step in degradation at which they could halt : and thus the first " difficulty" that Peel had , —a difficulty at one time most formidable , —was , by dextrous management , turned even to advantage : and the world was edified by seeing political morality trampled under foot , and
the essence of the "high and noble" in the land noting-themselves down as obsequious tools , giving the lie to all their previous high-sounding professions . Once off the firm ground of principle , and once launched on the current of expediency , like swine in water , they cut their throats with their own pettitoes and the great Conseuvative partt , formed out of the wreck of Toryism , has had its brief hour of existence , and is now numbered with the things tlia * were whose end was shame .
Another " difficulty" that Peel had to contend with was Ireland . Indeed he proclaimed this as " the difficulty . " Bound up , as lie was from former identity , with the Orange faction , his elevation to powev was the signal for the rival faction to " Bubble , bubble , toil and trouble , " at the agitation for a Repeal of the Union , which had boon recommenced when the reins of power were slipping out of the hands of the Whigs , and when it was evident that the days of patronage were numbered . And a formidable " difficulty ' Ireland from the first proved ! Fuel was artfully added to the agitation-fire , to
" Make the Hell broth boil and bubble , " 'till it threatened to boil over ! Defiance op the SAXON was deemed so noble an act , and so -worthy of undying fame , that the life-imparting chisel of the sculptor was set to work to preserve the attitude and eternize the action and the words ! Peel was dared to " go to law "—which daring he closed in with : and for months he was kept in the very " hot water" of the " State-Trials . " Though worsted there , still the hard-fought battle of the courts had the effect of letting off the superfluous steam , and of lowering the heat of the cauldron down to safety
degree : and . then Peel sought to take advantage of his position , and overcome his master " difficulty" by a series of cunning concessions and well-timed " conciliations . " To this end , we had the project of endowing Maynooth—an adroit attempt to detach the Roman Catholic clergy from the " embodied discontent , " and to leave the master spirit of tho '' difficulty " without one main means of moving the masses . To this end also , we had the New Colleges , conceived in the most " liberal" spirit—a spirit , which , while it did not give ascendancy to Catholicism , did put down the ascendancy of Orangeism . To this
attempt affconciliation , Peel gave up the dearlycherished " prejudices" of his youth—the " principles" on which he had rallied his party after tho Reform-Bill dispersion : and to this end did your Sasbons and your Gladstones vote their former life A LIE , and " embody" in practice the principles they had unceasingly and uniformly decried . To this end , also , were the Orangemen snubbed . A great show of impartiality , and of a determination to deal with both agitating parties alike , had to be made : and therefore Mr . Watson and another Justice , who attended Orange " monster meetings" rabid
Orangemen , were dismissed from the magistracy . But still all would not do . The " Repealers" were not to be so foolishly caught . The endowment of Mas'nooth was accepted , with the insulting commentary that the hand that conceded it would also concede Repeal ¦ when the agitation was strong enough to be appeased in no other way . The New Colleges were spurned , because the scheme of education was a " Godless " one : for the pupils in them were not handed over to either one set of priests or the other . The Roman Catholic priesthood were not to be detached from the effort to " raise Rome , " through the instrumentality for
of a " good cry" nationality , by such a mere " sop in tho pan" as Maynooth , although there was the " gohkn link to bind them to the State" in prosnect And thus Peel ' s " concession" and " conciliation " failed of its object . His Irish « difficulty" was not lessened His " goodluck " SCemsin thkeL i : forsaken him , and the tide of fortune to hav changed : for while he thus failed to hook the mrtv for whom he set the oai , he exasperated K warfare the ^ party vj ho m SU pport m ^ encountered the difficulty " tt * r m i . his old ones , . lLo dismissal of Mr .

madness , ; and while Lord TTixcheisea in England has fiu » g his " commissions , " as'Lord-Lieutenant of several counties , into Peel's face , through sympathy with his Irish Church brethren , and as a reproof for Pjiel ' s sacrificeo ? his " friends / the . Earl of Rodex and the Marquis of Dow . vsiiire , with scores of J . P . 's , have repeated the acts of Mr . Watson , And dared Peel to take a similar revenge That challenge Peel has nob dared to accept : and there he is now , with the Roman Catholic prelates PROTESTING against his New Colleges Act as a "godless scheme of education , " , and wiling on the
Irish people to spurn it from them with indignant contempt , because the priestly " finger" is excluded from the College " pie ; " there he is , with no tJicmfo for his Maynooth Grant , to carry which he broke up his own party , and scattered " Conservatism " to the winds ; there he is , with O'Co . vnell as insulting as ever , preferring his demands , and bitterly taunting the "firm Minister" with having givenway to popular demands in his numerous " concessions ; " and there he is , with the Orange institution revived : with the old waning embers of bigotry fannciHntO aflame J and with the bristles of the whole sect of Irish Church
Protestants " setup" against the " traitor Peel . " If Ireland everwas a difficulty to the present Ministry , it is doubly so mom ; . ' Ministerial " conciliation" having failed , a new tacik has now to be taken . The ORDINARY LAW is again to be invoked on the " disaffected" Repealers : on those who will not be satisfied with the small "sop" thrown to them , as a taste of what they may get , if they will only behave themselves decently towards the Government . "Conciliation" having proved inefficacious , coercion is to be tried . The defeat and ingloriousness of former- prosecutions seems to be forgotten ; and it would appear that the " gentlemen of the long robe" are to make another effort to " lay" the evil spirit of Burgh-quay by the heels . At least , we infer as much from the following significant article from , the Mornina Ikrald of Monday
last : — . ¦ ¦ ¦ , "How long , oil Catiline , wilt thou abuse our patience ? " was the indignant exclamation of the Roman statesman to the Roman incendiary . With one voice all good men in the empire have long thus apostrophised Mi' . O'Conseli . — " Catiline , " as the Chancellor most truly termed him — " Catiline , without his courage . " Long impunity , however , has made the timid daring . It has become a serious question whether , towards such a man as this , further forbearance may not savour of criminality ? A mountebank , harmless in the mere collection of his pence , becomes dangerous by the circulation of those poisons to which the public may fall a sacrifice . It seems to us high time to crush a nefarious
system , held , we arc satisfied , in equal abhorrence by every right-minded subject , whether Roman Catholic or Protestant . The reflecting Roman Catholic cannot fail to see , that , by the present Minister , Irish agitation has been stripped of all its pretences , for ho has made equal law and equal favour a reality . The loyal Protestant must admit the justice of the principle which deems civil distinction to be neither an inheritance nor a monopoly , but the legitimate reward of talent , guided by industry , and not disqualified by sedition . Both must be blind indeed not to perceive , that as Christians and countrymen , they have a common interest in the prosperity of the realm , which , like a house , if divided against itself , must fall . It is
the sacred duty—it may be the salvation of ailfirmly to denounce that withering conspiracy by which , under pretence of repeal , . all that they hold dear or estimable in life may be ultimately compromised . We say , advisedly—under pretence of Repeal . We deny that Mr . O'Connelt , ever seriously contemplated such a measure . Other considerations apart , he is by no means such a blockhead . With Queen , Lords , and Commons , opposed to it , he must feel its impracticability , save through a , rebellion . Now , a rebellion , he declares , he deprecates , and though he says it , we believe him . Of course , we feel called upon to give some reason for so revolting an admission . Wo believe him , then , because rebellion would cast down the idol of his
worship—his own selfish interest—it would compromise at onco his profession and his safety . It is not only not incredible , it is on the contrary consistent , that lie whose sole divinity has been self , should of all extremities deprecate rebellion . Little does it matter , however , what lie means , if what lie does leads in that direction , —if the clear tendency of his whole course is to sow discontent among the people , to frustrate where lie can , and to malign , tvhen he cannot frustrate , the good intentions of the Government . Tlio most liberal concessions have regularly been met by this man ' s obloquy , and the practical , we may call it the paternal benevolence of the Minister has been encountered , but not checked , by the baseness of his ingratitude .
Abundant evidence ol our assertion crowds upon us . We content ourselves with his conduct on the Maynooth grant and the Irish Academical Institutions Bill . What he docs mean we arc not called upon to explain . If we were , we would answer unhesitatingly , that we believe his object , and his exclusive object , since the Emancipation Act , -was the successful furtherance of a mendicant calling , disguised under the desecrated name of patriotism . But of what moment is his latent meaning , if his overt acts manifestly tend to mislead the ignorant and encourage tho disloyal ? We repeat it—if the wise policy of one of the wisest Ministers England ever saw is to be allowed its fair probation , this man and his abettors must no longer be permitted to evade law
and neutralise legislation . It is now manifest that no Government , be it WJiig or be it Conservative , can satisfy Mr . O'Co . v . vell . The question then is , whether we are to bo ruled , as heretofore , under the English constitution , or coerced under the Irish dictatorship ? This is our alternative . It may happen that Mr . O'Connf . ll may not succeed in the concealment of his meaning , or that a very mercurial and not very prudent population may mistake it , and then who can calculate on the very frightful , yet very possible contingencies ? May not the crisis really arise , which , to serve a purpose , this man affects to fear—a , crisis in the convulsions of which his voice may becomo powerless ? Who can answer for a phrensicd rabble—where dwells the magician who
can modulate at will the yell of fanaticism or soothe the paryoxism of popular insanity ? If the crisis should arise , what excuse will the Minister , or what solace will the nation find in the admitted fact , that the prime mover of the madness never meant it ? We will go even further still . We do not believe he would await it . We have little doubt that when the " poisons in jest" were circulating freely—when a whole nmpirc was flung into convulsions—when the hell-hounds of civil war Lid been let slip , and when law and life and property and civilization became the prey or playthings of the infernal pack , —we have no doubt at all that the innocent author of such terrible calamities , without power to stay them or courage to share
them , would consult in flight an ignominous safety . His nature is not changed since the death of Mr . Magrath , oy since the Irish secretaryship of the present Minister , or since tho memorable night when Mr . DonEUTi- evoked the " vow in heaven , "—than convenient vow behind which he hides and slanders , —that Christian vow which permits the sin and remits the responsibility . His whole career justifies our supposition , for what has it exemplified but one course of selfishness the most invariable and intense ? In him the characteristics of his country are reversed . Her dauntless chivalry is changed to caution , or rather to cowardice ; her careless generosity to sordid avarice ; her heartthat gushing spring of all her thoughtless , but often
noble impulses gives way , in him , to the cool head to calculate , and the itching hand to grasp . We defy the vilest slave that flatters him to point out a single proposal which he did not precede or follow up by a pecuniary demand . Far foe it from us to attempt to enumerate the mendicant claims or patriotic imposts—the association rent—the precursor rent—the repeal . rent—the enrolment shilling—the annual contribution , and the thousand other soul-sickening expedients by which a starving people ' s little is made less . If , however , Ireland s self-styled patriot press is credible , the collection since the Emancipation Act must amount to half a million !! The Court parasite , m the tacc of mankind , plies his base vocation , and avows the vileness by which he earns his waces .
onwneicss ami servile , he is at least no hypocrite . But where shall we parallel throughout history's annals a patriot holding out the Cap of Liberty for alms . Ho a patriot ! Then was Amstides "" ju st ; Pixt corrupt ; and Marvel a hireling , purely , surely , this system must have an ena me nation expects , and justice demands it . l j Ct tlie same dauntless spirit which , despite every obstacle , gave equality to the Roman Catholic , now extend justice to the Protestant , by crushing a tyranny odious alike to both . We tell the Minister and wo tell him advisedly , that all which is valuable in the Roman Catholic community will hail his interference with gratitude , and his success with iov . He

recur to the period of the Reform Bill . Thatmeasuse threw , as he then loudly boasted , half the representation of Ireland into his hands . How did he exercise that power ? Did he select as members those who could expose the wrongs , . while they exemplified the genius of their country ? ¦ Alas ! the land of Burke and Sheridan , Curran , and 1 lux-ret , had mutes for its representatives I—obedient mutes ,-who did the bidding of their master , even to the strangling of their own independence ; a quiescent vassalage was notoriously their sole qualification .. When tho Speaker claimed for them Irecdom o € speech , he might as well have solicited the wisdomof Solomon ; of what use , indeed , could speech hava been to those wuo were denied the faculty of thought which , even had thev possessed , they were prohibited
from exercising ? In this , his nomination parliament , the lust ofgain alone interfered with the lust of domination . But the ruling passion could not be restrained , and even the hated Saxon might assume the livery , provided he purchased it at—" say tivo thousand pounds . " At this very moment the dictatorial principle is as avowed as ever—sixty slaves are to be returned at the next election , provided they consent to have no will of their own . ^ This is a condition precedent to their elevation , if elevation , indeed , that can be called which would degrade even M'Hale ' s " cow-boy" representatives . If , however , the system is not crushed—if the Conciliation Hall convention is permitted to tax , and legislate , and denounce as usual , we are far from doubting this
disgusting consummation . An organisid reign of terror is established , and those who are audacious enough to be independent , are left a choice between . exile and proscription . But though absence may screen the person , it cannot protect the reputation .. No flight can evade the winged venom of Conciliation Hall . Age , sex , station , patriotism—all that is honoured in life or even sanctified by death , only whets the obJiquy of the Christian convention . They whole world has been its high way , and as its French prototype possessed its orator , so does Burgh-quayits slanderer of " the human race . " Are we called ' on for examples ? Stand forth from your obscurity " ye base , brutal , and bloody Whig * , " stung bythe scorpion ingratitude you nourished I Bear
witness , Lord Brougham , slavered now , and slandered now—as if one poison could counteract another ! Attest it , thou shade of George the Fourth , to whom on his knees the insolent irresponsible blandly promised a diadem and a palace , and whose memory he pursues with ceaseless vituperation . When a hollow pretext was wanting for fawning upon the Melbourxes and the Normaxbts , in order to get places for the tail , did he not discover that the Coercion Bill was Lord Gret ' s , which was Lord Melbourne ' s measure ? and more shameless still ! did not Lord Melbourne meanly submit to take the credit of being incapable of doing the very things which , under Lord Grey , he had notoriously done ? Did not this venal demagogue pretend to discover that Lord Kormanby had
for the first time governed Ireland on principles of equality ; when it was notorious that the administrations of Lords Wellesley and Anglesey , though partially unjust to Protestants , were founded on this principle ; and did not Lord Normaxby , like Lord Melbourne , meanly submit to profit by what he knew to be foully false ? Again—did the virtues of George , tlie pious and the good—did the sailor frankness of his son , William IV ., secure them an immunity ? Where is the exception among the rival sections—which of their leaders—we name them—' Peel , Russell , Roebuck—has escaped ? But , alas ! how should they , when even he who concentrates the perfections of them all—he , England ' s glory , Europe ' s champion , the envy , were he not
the admiration of the whole world—when Wellisgion himself has had his setting splendour bayed at by these mongrels ? Did the lustre of their talents , or the memory of the services lavished upon tho Roman Catholics of Ireland , shield Plukket or the unburied Bushe ? Was the modesty of England ' s matrons , or the valour of her soldiers , unreviled ; was not her population wholesale spat upon as " Saxon ?" Why waB France insulted in the person of her Sovereign , the lustre of whose crown is lost in that of his virtues ? Was it moet that liberty should be wounded in the persons of Mixa and Espartero , or if Russian absolutism required that her Emperor should bebranded as a " monster , " was it to maintain slander ' s impartiality that the peaceful tomb of Washington
should be outraged , and republican America placed under proscription ? These are your demagogues l Your tribunes of the people ! Your liberty-brawlers I Your Irish toleration-mongers ! Give power to such men !! Why the very graves of buried deapota would disgorge them to do homage to their masters . The grovelling reptiles , spawned from the Liffey ' s slime upon Burgh-quay , perfect in themselves , are also specimens of their tribe throughout the world . Tho transformation from the demagogue to the despot is of course , Give them but authority , and they are sure to avenge themselves on those principles of freedom by proclaiming which they hypocritically attained it . No matter what distinction adventitious circumstances may have drawn between
them—wlie-; her robed in the purple of Domitias , or disfigured by the rags of Robespierre , theyare all the same . The same infernal fetters link the whole fraternity—thesame frigid philosophy which shuts out man and nature from their sympathies—the same hard , crafty , mercy-hating spirit , which , in our memories , crushed ' throne and altar in the name of liberty , and then mocked its goddess from the scaffold of the guillotine .. May Heaven avert the sway of such men fvora deluded Ireland ! The mild majesty of . England's . ( iuEEs would be superseded for the worse even by the Council of Three Hundred , and our holy Churchneeds neither light nor purification from the fires or tlie Inquisition . We have not the least objection to-Mr . O'Connell's antics , so long as they merely render
himself ridiculous . He may parody ambition to the top of his bent , in the robes of an alderman , ortravestio Punch Injthe chair of a lord mayor—lie may even befool himself upon "Tara of the Kings , " and bow his " uncrowned" head for the Milesian cap from which Saxon tyranny has purloined the bells ; but when heapproaches the very verge of rebellion—when he supersedes tho legislature by thelevying of taxes , and the courts ' of law by the creation of tribunals , and the executive by what he boasts to be a monster organisation—when a weekly congress holds its permanent session in the metropolis of Ireland , despatching , through the country its missionaries of sedition—when every authority , institution , and establishment in the land are made the subjects of
ridicule or slander ; and when the unhappy people , now impoverished by mercenary exactions , and now inflamed by revolutionary falsehoods , ave taught to repudiate the Government of England for the sympathy , of America or the fraternisation of Francewe do say it is an unnatural state of things , which should be at once terminated . Sir Robert Peel may rest assured that the Roman Catholic community , their nobility , gentry , aye , and a vast portion of their clergy also , grateful for the conciliatory spirit of Ills system , await but his signal to lender their co-operation . The ancient Roman Catholic names of Ireland—the Fixgals , the Tiumislestoxs , the Gormassxowxs , the Bellews , are not to 6 e iimiul in the muster roll of sedition . They stand aloof in
significant estrangement , and represent thousands and tens of thousands who have long been disgusted at the ' shameless imposture by which their body hava been misrepresented , impoverished , and disgraced . Ireland , long compromised by the extremes of both parties , relies for relief from " both on the firmness ef the Minister . We speak in no spirit of exclusiveness—we stop not to ascertain the colour of his creed who evades the law er violates the constitution-Whether it be the first Protestant magistrate in the land , or tho paltriest mountebank that tumbles on Burgh-quay , let each , we say , have an equal measure of justice . By this just system , promptly , and rigidly , and fearlessly carried out , the people of Ireland will feel that they are under the rule of an impartial and a paternal Government .
This article is not an ordinary one ; nor is it from an ordinary pen . Assuredly it is not from any of the usual writers in the Herald . The very / t » " »» of tllG article . —to say nothing of its power and fowo , so far superior to the ordinary twaddle of Grandmama , — bespeaks this . The Herald is the Ministerial organ : and the article in question bears all the external impress of demi-authorlty . If , is intended to serve two or three purposes : to frighten O'Coxnell , in ^ first instance , by letting him know that mischief towards him is brewing ; to pave the way for new legislatorial measures to put down political ag itations and political societies in Ireland , and to secni' 8 the support of the Whigs to such measures , seeing thai ; the measures of " conciliation" to which lolhf « ' * im were partAa , have failed to satisfy even in degree ; and it is intended also to quiet the perturbed spirit of Orangeism , by showing the teeth of the LAW once more ready to bite against'the file of Repeal .
The picture that the Lord Chancellor draws oi O'Coknell , in the article just quoted , ( for we charge the article to Mm ) is a masterly one ; one , we gr icvo to say it , —which the actions oi the original more than justify . The shameless mendicity of the Bins ' ' quay " patriots" has long stunk in the nostrils o ^ a'j true lovers of freedom : and the tyranny exercised over thought and action by the imperious dictator , has long been the scorn of every friend to practical liberty . These things make it difficult for the n » Repealers—those who are so from principle—^ ® they recognise the right of all people to judge of tnea own wants , and supply their own necessities ; transgressions of the first principle of independence by the money-gorging freedom-denying junta ti ^ " Conciliation Hall , " we say , make it difficult iot the acters-out of the democratic creed to touch witu them , because he that handles pitch must expect " be defiled ; still , if the THREAT conver t m tn
