We care not by whom, or in what quarter, the ridiculous comparison in question was first instituted: it is enough for us to know, and to be able to demonstrate, that it is utterly destitute of foundation; and it is worth while to exhibit its groundlessness, because the Tories avail themselves of it sedulously, for the double purpose of throwing the viperous ingredient of religious dissension into the Canadian quarrel, and for doing further prejudice to the high and unstained cause of the people of Ireland.

What are the wrongs of Canada, in open insurrection, compared with the wrongs of Ireland, in peaceful movement to the achievement of her rights? The wrongs of Ireland are as much more heinous than any that the Canadians complain of, as the methods by which the people of Ireland seek redress are superior in morality and wisdom to those which Mr Papineau has recommended to his uninstructed countrymen. Yet we are told of the likeness of the Irish and Canadian contest! Yet we are told by the Tory journals that "the cause of the French Canadians is identical with that of the Irish Catholics," and again that the Canada rebels are but the pupils of the Irish traitors." The same diseased state of the comparing faculty would consider Aurora and the lobster identical, on the ground of the solitary quaint similitude. "The Canada rebels the pupils of the Irish traitors!" The excessive absurdity of these words, which are those of the Standard, redeems their malignity. upon civil conflicts.

In ous and splendid strain of observation upon the fact, according to this great discovery, it is only point in question. when a magnetic sleep closes a man's eyes that he begins to have his full perceptions, and to see far better with his ten toes than when waking with his two eyes-nay, such are the improving powers of animal magnetism, that though he may want spectacles for his eyes, he wants no spectacles for his toes, stomach, or any other part to which a book or document may be laid. To take advantage of all the virtues of animal magnetism, a minister like Lord Glenelg ought then to be laid up in official papers, like a Maintenon cutlet, and he will then read a month's despatches in an hour's nap. He will, moreover, dictate the suitable replies, and prophecy the issues of the disputed question. "We blame, then, the precipitancy of the Canadians, which induced them to stand forth in opposition to their lawful sovereign, in bare contemplation of a possible evil. We shrink, too, from an appeal to arms on another ground. It is like the ordeal of a duel-the event may not atone for an injury-the evil-doer may be the victor, reaping a doubly disgraceful triumph." No! The Irish people have not set the example to the revolted Canadians, and, what will mortify the Tories more, the Irish will not follow this Canadian precedent. The Irish people have discovered the unbloody road to liberty; they have trodden it already with success, and Weaponless themselves We heartily wish the Canadians had taken lessons from the Irish: Mr O'Connell is a better schoolmaster than any of the Canadian preceptors. Rebellion is not taught in Mr O'Connell's academy, yet his scholars have, we believe, shown no deficiency either in the spirit to demand their rights, or in the power to achieve them. We pointed out in our last number the injustice of the comparison instituted between the British Canadians and the Orange faction in Ireland. The comparison wrongs the British Canadians numerically as well as morally. They constitute, as the Statistical Journal informs us, one-third of the With reference to the exterminating proceedings going forward upon certain Tory estates in the south of Ireland, Lord Mulgrave, in a tone of generous pity for the sufferings of the unhoused peasantry, mingled with an indignant reprobation of the heartless conduct on the part of the landlords productive of so much human misery, thus observed—— tenantry in that part of the country to which I have "Such, I am told, is the condition of some of the alluded.

The Orange landlord and parson owe the chief enjoyments of their lives to the very system of Administration which they oppose so vehemently. Under the Tories the people would scarcely observe the bounds within which they now confine their emotions at cruelty and outrage.
