Ho extrsordinary & man— extraordinary at once In his taleuts, in his polioy, aud in the resuits of all theae—must have beon the product of an extrsordinary social and pohiti- cal condition, Tho caunss af tiis condition are onaily reached, HOW JRELAXD BECAME SUBJECT TO ENGLAND. o The conquest of Ireland, inutigated Ly » furi- ous Irish traitor, and bogun by savage English soldiers, was elowly but surely completed by the shrewdness of Saxon politicians. Magua-Charta John took with hind ssges of the law, as well as i most nlausible osptalus § aad, ae Irefand had then her‘own Parliament, he induced it to ordain that Ireland should thereafter be gov- emned by Euvglinh statutes. Buv many of the stubborn chiets, who had refuned to bow to fur- oign arma, scorofully refased to adopt Alien Juriaprudence, and doggodly adhered to their Bronous and (ho native customs, Henry IIL and Edward L renewed the injunctions of John, and the lstter procured thm formAt sbolish- meat of tho Brohon law ; Lit, oven as lato as the reign of (irven Liizabetn, the Iatter contin- uod to bo respected in many parts of the King- dom. The Kingsof England wers content to call themaelyen meie Lords" of Hibernis, un- it & particularly-obsequicus Iriwh Darliament conferred upon Henmy VIIL the title of King of Ireland ; sud the Irish Parlisment contluued to cunct laws for the country untiltho Knglish Guvernmeout bocame convinced Lhat tho futer- enta of England required that tha natives be al- lowod leea Mberty in this importent matior, Tho Governor of Ircland waw, of course, ap- polnted by the Eoglish Crosn, and Lo called and dismisned Irish Patlisments as ho ploased. Sir Edward Poyninge, the Licntenaut of Honry VIL, greatly facititated tha rolution of tho difil- culty by causing the nnactment of what are pop- ulurly known am “Postings' lawn,” by which, bo- fore auy Irish I'arlinment could be called, the Gowsinor sud Council of Ireland were wuthorizod 10 tostify to the King the purpotes thernof and tho nature of tho acts Lo be proposcd ; the King cortifiad back to the Governur and Connerl how much be approved of tho kupgented Ingislation ; then the King might authorize the Goveruor to summon & §'arliamant, and the Parliament must adept precisely the logislation wbicls tha Kung in- dlested,—no lese, no more. It wnk g very com- plicated way of getling at a vers simple conelu- eion! Thon PPoynings enscied annthivr Iaw: that all acts of Parliamnut before paseed in England should bmof force in Iroland, 'Ihint ought to 1At sottled the question of Irish law-making powar; but thp stubboru-neckel Celtw dovised #0 1nany littlo tricks for slippiug their necks out of Poyniuga’ noowe, that Guorga L. was rome pelled to atamp his Hayal fot, atd Bwear, with all tho awful delibar ation of a duly-signed and noated decred, that the King and Parliament of Englond tiad power to make lawa for Ireland. Btill, the Irish 1fouso of Lords rotalued its flual Jurisdiction in appeals in Irish casos, as the 1fonRo of Lords of ¥ngland doen on English ap- peals. This last vestigo of native prerogative was spoliated by snother statute of Georgn I., by which it was definitely docroed that the Irish peers hisd no Jurisdiotion fo stirm or reverve any Judgment, And tuat appénl lay only to the English Touso of Lords, THE IO PARLIAMENT EMANCIPATED. Henry Gratia, a Protestant, ausisted by Lord Charlemont, s Protestant, compelled the Insh Pacliatnont, thus deprived, as Lecky eays, ' of every vestigo of independonee,” andreduced to s stato of nbject servility, totake so hontilo an atti- tude toward the Engiish Crown, in 1782, tint tho Ministers, roprosenting the King, wore compell- od to bring in & bill embodying his declaration, ‘*That the King, Lords, and Commons of Iro- laad aro the only power competest to mnke lawa for Ireland.” Yerhaps the Ministers would not bave been persusdad to this veclaration by Grat- tan alono; thore wers 60,000 Voluotoors outside tiie Parltamont building, who lind been organlzed to save Ircland from Fronch fnvawion, while all of the King's troops were ovgaged s little affair with @oorgo Washinglon.

Dut tho Irish Partinmont, with tho authority to origivate lcgisiation for lreland, proved 80 troublesome to the stop-mntber Government that tho latter, after ju- ducing the Voluntoers to disperse, pruceedod to orgumze tho entire abolition of tho Irish Parlin- weunt, This body wee disposed to be tno reason- able and too original, It thireatcnod to restore Freo ‘Iradu to Irteland, which tho langumstung mavufactures of the country sotely needed ; 1t unptoved the cauats, encouraged public improve~ monts, moddled with the landioids, and even went 10 far as to give certain unmistakable indi- cations of abolisbing tbo pousl lawa snd emani- paung the Catholics; for, even au Iata as tho end of tho eiguteonth coutury, four-fitths of tho peoplo of & civilized but depondent country wero debatred, by & civilizod and goverving country, from any voico in their uatival politics, and woro thus debarred on account of theit roligions opinious, 0'Connell froquantly declared tha:, Lad the Union not taken place, ibe Protont- suts compomug the Irish Parlisment would Lave tnisucipated tbeir fellow-citizous much mooper thau Emancipation wes finally procured. ‘The restorcd lrish Parliamont was only an opisode iu Irish bistory. 1'vnsoual quar- rela_aud roliglous spites among Irishmen did much toward its deatructiou; Euvglish gold did mores and, in 1800, the Act of Unlon was passed, by which all the functions of the Parlia- went of Ireland woro_transferred forever to the Partiamout of Great Britaiu. Grattan dociaied that, of tho 162 men who voted for tbe Union, only esvou wete unbribed, The coadition of tho Catholica was now worsa than evor.
