He and Bryan M'Mahon had of late been upon very good terms; and it so happened that in the course of one of their conversations about Kathleen Cavanagh, Bryan had mentioned to him the fact of Kathleen's having heard that he was pledged to vote with Vanston, and repeated the determination to which she had resolved to come if he should do so.
"Who durst suppose that a M'Mahon would sell his vote for a bribe? Did Vanston suppose that money would sway me? for this I am sure must be his work." "Don't be too sure of that," replied Hycy; "don't be too sure that it's not some one that wishes you worse than Vanston does.
To these proceedings Clinton had not been long privy when he began to communicate with Vanston, who, on his part, extended the mystery to Chevydale, between whom and himself several confidential interviews had already taken place. Having thrown out these hints to our readers, we beg them to accompany us once more to the parlor of Clinton the gauger and his nephew.
The truth is, Vanston, we must become national in our own defense, and whilst we repudiate, with a firm conviction of the folly on the one hand, and the dishonesty on the other, of those who talk about Repeal, we shall find it our best policy to forget the interests of any particular class, and suffer ourselves to melt down into one great principle of national love and good-will toward each other.
Edward's observations with respect to Hycy's having taken a part in forwarding the interests of Major Vanston were not without foundation.
"Well, then," she proceeded, "there's one thing I know I know who robbed Mr. Burke here;" and she pointed to the old man, who started. The magistrates also looked surprised. "How," said Vanston, turning his eyes keenly upon her, "you know of the robbery; and pray, how long have you known it?" "Ever since the night it was committed, plaise your honor."
I slep', plaise your honor, in a little closet off o' the room the money was in." "Is it true that she slept there, Mr. Burke?" asked Vanston of the old man. "It is thrue, sir, God help me; that at all events is thrue." "Well, proceed," said Chevydale.
Major Vanston heard his case with patience, inquired more minutely into the circumstances, asked where Ahadarra was, the name of his landlord, and such other circumstance as were calculated to make the case clear. "Pray, who drew up this memorial?" he asked. "Mr. Hycy Burke, sir," replied Bryan. "Ah, indeed," said he, glancing with a singular meaning at M'Mahon. "You and Burke are intimate then?"
However, if I were in your coat, I certainly would not suffer him to outdo me in generosity. Good heavens! only contrast such conduct with that of the other scoundrel, his opponent, and then see the conclusion you must come to." "Let Vanston be what he may, he's an honest man," replied Bryan, "and in less than ten minutes I'll have him the sittin' member.
"I am," said he; "but, dear Kathleen, I can't rightly understand you. What temptations do you mane?" "Have you not promised to vote for Mr. Vanston, the Tory candidate, who never in his life voted for your religion or your liberty?" "Do you mane me, dearest Kathleen?" "You, certainly; who else could I mean when I ask you the question?"
