The Home Government Association—How It is Regarded—Its Probabie Failure—The Clergy Opposed to It—A Movement in Pros- pect-An Irish Government for ~~ the Trg Peeve Dust, May 6, 190. The Home Government Association has Hdw been in existence for nearty twelve months, and I wish to lay before your feaders the progress it has made, With, everything in its favor I fear that it will be im possible for me to say that it has been a success, or that ithas the confidence of the Irish people. Men of all classes, it is true, have enlistea themselves in its ranks, put their number is so small that it can scarcely be said to be a iraciion of the number that ‘was anticipated would take their stand under the banner of federalism. It is, too, supportea by the FIRST TALENT IN THE COUNTRY; by such men as Mr, Butt, Q. 0.; Dean O’Brien, of erick; Mx, O'Neil Daunt, Mr. John Martin, M, P. § Mr. Shaw, M. P,; Mr, A, M. Sullivan, the Rey. Mr. Q’Maley, and othorg tae b aotlify’ and influence. c I does “hot, however, ive much support from the press, and for this reason: the nationalists, on the whole, do not give much countenance to federalism, they being in FAVOR OF COMPLETE SEPARATION; while the pill appears to be too strong for the liberals, or the followers of Mr. Gladstone, who take no Notice of the movement whatever. So between these two extremes the federalists are left to shift, as best they can; for themselves, Of course the con- servatives, uniess a few isolated individuals among them, are opposed on principle to the movement; nothing can possibly induce what Mr. Bright once Dappily called the ‘stupid party’’ to listen to any proposals for the restoration of the Irish Parliament, ‘The association some six or elght months ago made A Spasmodic effort to enlist all classes of Irisnmen ‘under Its banner, but it was only partialiy success- ful, Theleaders of the people, from some reason or other, KEP ALOOF FROM IT, even such of them as are in favor of home rale, There are, forexample, not more than three members of Parliament connected with the association, and the number of priests is very small. Now, when the priests and the Parliamentary representatives in Ireiand keep aloof from any movement, however popular, it cannot be attended with success, How- ever much some parties among the American Popu. lauon may feel inclined to question this statement, there can be no doubt that the priests have the most unlimited sway over the [rish peo- plc. Whatever they oppose 1 certain not to guc- cced; and, onthe other hand, whatever question they have taken up has seldom or ever failed. They have not as a body joined the association, nor do they, 1€ Tam correctly informed, mean to do so, and for their non-support of the movement VARIOUS CAUSES ARE ALLEGED, Some say that itis due to the influence of Cardinal Cutlen; but this J do not belteve. His own priests, in case he were hosttie to the movement, might keep away, buvit is quite beyond his power, on such a ake. to control the priesthood of Ireland, par- lcuiarly when we have one of his bishops whiting thus:—‘‘I know there are those in Ireland who re- rd our subjection to England as a national bless- Ing; but I am convinced tho masses of our race, whether at home or abroad, believe and feel DIRECTLY TH REVERSE. I belfeve it is not the feeling of the Irish bishops or the [rish priesthood. I know it is not the feeling of either priests or people im Limerick, and I am bevond all sure it never was and never shall be the feeling of the present Bishop ot Limerick.” Another Bishop, the Bishop of Ross, writes :—“That unity of action which tne prostrate state of our poor country so much needs cannot, in my belief, be secured put by the adoption of independence. It is just now the bis ey: that can bring salvation to Ireland.’ ‘ith these two extracts irom the writings of two alst! isned Roman Catholic prelaies every one acquainted with the real state of Ireland must agree. But holaing these views, and believing that home government would be such 4 }OON 7) IRELAND) | why do they fot age thetr priesis and people to Join the movement specially organized to obtain it ? ‘Shis is @ question which has puszvied many. My opinion 1s that neither the priests nor bishops had apything to do with the formation of the associa- tion; the nationalists had then come to the resolu- tion of no longer allowing the priests to take part in nish po‘itics; the founders of the federal movement were mosily recent adherents to the nattonal cause, nd many of then had been distinguished for their Orange prociivities; so that tne a! thought It best to remaif at home, aud at nome they have re- mained to this day. I hope I may be mistaken, but 1 believe that the Irish Catholic priesthood will never join in the present home rule movement. When writing on th’s;question last I thought it might have peen.a success, as the federalists, both in town and country were extremly active, and their movements were noticed at great length in the press; but now there is hardly & word about them; they appear to have gone out of sight altogether, 1 have heard latel, at 1 & year or two, when things become a little more settled, and afew press- ing questions are disposed of, the great liberal party here, comprising the bishops and clergy, the liperal members of Parliament, and the middle class—the merchants, farmers and shopkeepers—will petition the House of Commons on the question, and should THEIR PRTITION BE NOT FAVORABLY received an Saitation will be commenced forthwith. The two associations wiil, or ought to, unite, and if they be really sincere in their determination to ob- tain a native Legislature they will have little dimi- culy in sinking petty differences and grasping the hand of {ren hip.
