Ireland. LETTER FROM MR. 0'CONNELL. Dareynane Anaey, Caherciveen, ss October 2, 1844. To the acting Secretary of the Loyal National Repeal Association. Sir,—I am extremely anxious to bring the em- phatic attention of the association to that which I deem the most important of all the duties whieh they have to perform at the present most auspicious period. We have obtained the most valuable vio- tory that ever was achieved by purely moral means. The victory of Waterloo was the mere triumph of physic | force, combined with military organiza- tion it was a brutal and a bloody scene, and much of what are called its glories depended upon chance ane sosidane, " 5 le urs, on the gontrary, was the triumph of the first principles of civil Nherty, and of the judicial merits of our glorious eause. That which tri- umphed was the great censtitutional principle which sanctions the right of free discussion to the inhabitants of these realms. It was that principle which battled with, and triumphed over, the well- arranged conspiracy to extinguish yooues senti- ment, and to limit and restrain the efficacy of peaceable popular exertions The object which we had in view was perfectly legal and perfectly coustitutional—the repeal of an act of pariiament—and the efficacy of our strug gle ought, iu constitutional reasoning, to depend on the numbers of those who were conviaced of the fecessity of such reveal, The effort of ministerial despotism was, by the prosecution, te prevent the exhibition of that multitudinous public sentiment, which could alone require or obtain success. [t was a struggle, on the part of our governors, to make the exhibition of the extreme pressure of a grievance stimulating multitudes to call for redress a songettacy and acrime. It was the manifest de- sign of the Irish government to introduce a new doctrine into our law—the doctrine that numbers constituted crime—so that where the oppression of a tyrannical law affecied the great majority of the nation, that very majority should be treated as es- sentially criminal, and be used as a legal instru- ment to prevent the redress of the grievance—the more universal the cry for reliet, the more impossi- ble would a successful prosecution have made it to obtain redress. s 3 Onur triumph on the jury question was, if possible, still more vitally important. If it were onee esta- blished thatthe jury list might, with safety, be traudulentiy spoilated or arranged, on the ground that the fraud was not committed by the sheriff himself, then, indeed, the trial by jury would have become a ‘delusiov, a mockery, and a snare !” We have, in truth, gained a great victory, Yet there has been soe fthe insolence of triumph tn our demeanor. We have borne our success with meekness, and in the fullest spirit of coacilia- won, Bat we should be guilty of a criminal neglect of duty if we did notavail ourselves of that success in order to achieve the great Ge has of our desires— the restoration of an Irish parliament. Our business ig not to irritate or provoke any por- tion of our fellow subjects. Our dat —our sacred Ce eed to conciliate all classes and persuasions ; and, if possible, to procure the entire Irish people to join in the struggle to obtain the right of Irish- men to legislate for themselves. Upon the subject of the roreel near nine-tenths of the Irish people are perfectly agreed. They are convinced of its necessity. They have no doubt of its practicability. The mouster imeetings have placed beyond a shadow of doubt the determina- tion of the overwhelming majority of the Irish to obtain the restoratiou of their own parliament.— If that fact had not been demonstrated by the meet ings of last year, we shouid continue to hold similar meeti now that the legality of the largest possi- ble peaceful assemblages 18 tuily established by the unanimous opinions of the Euglish judges. It was in the 6th and 7ch counts that the holding of those monster meetings was alleged to be a crime ; and all the English judges were unanimous that those counts were essentially and radically bad. We could, therefore, hold more monster meetings if it were at all necessary ; but there is no such neces- sity. The opinion of the Irish people was empha- ically pronounced in the forty-one monster meet- gs we hud last year; and as it isnot necessary to hold any more such meetings, it would appear to be an insulting braggadociv to revive them. We will revive them valid in the case that it should with any plausibility be hereafter asserted that the ass of the people had changed their minds on the subject of repeul, and were no longer in favor of the Irish making laws for lreland. by Having thus infavor of repeal, the overwhelmin, majority of the Catholic population, clergy ani fatty—and also being joined by many, very many Protestante—by a large body of Presbyterians, ani by some other enlightened Protestant Dissenters, it only remains for us to conciliate and combine the residue of the Protestantsot every class and de- scription. This, I repeat, is our task, our duty— our pl-asing duty. hat is 1t which prevented the remainder of the Protestants of all descriptions from joining for the repeal? Not any disinclination to have Ireland legislated for by an Ireh parliament. Upon that sanject Mr. Porter’s letter is 1 demonstration that al the Irish of every class are agreed. Bat the vombination of allis prevented by idle jealousies sud unfounded tears. It is our business to remove these jealousies and absurd fears. Weshould eatreat, implore, conjure, our Protestant spupecrasiiy mee to listen to us. We should solemnly assure them that the Catholics desire no civil or ecclesiastical ascendancy—all shey desire is equality—that perfect equality which the repeal of the union alone can produce. ‘We can most confidently assert that the Irish Protestants onan to place unlimited confidence in heir Catholic fellow-countrymen ; and, above all, hat they ought not to retain ary jealousy or appre hension, This is our solemn, unequivocal, and Most conscientious conviction and assertion, and we are entitled to be believed. But we will not place the cause of conciliation upon mere_a+ser- ‘don ; we appeal to facts to pore that confidence shall be repo-ed im the Catholic Repeulers by Pro- testants of all classes. The first proot 1s adduced from Protestant his torians. It is the historic fact that the Irish Ca- tholics were, since the Keformation, three umes in vossession of [eye power—in fact of the go- vernment of the country ; yet they never passed one single penal law, nor persecuted one single Protestant. 1 have one thousand times challenged the libellers of the Irish Catholics to give me the aame cf any one Protestant who was persecuted oy the Catholics while in power—no such Protes- tant has ever been named, simply because none such ever existed. The second proof arises from the language of the Catholics during the many years of our struggle for emancipation. We bad tens of thousan t meet- ‘ugs, in all of which our claims were placed upou he principle, that conscience should be free—tree tor others as well as for us. And in not one of these meetings, although guilty of many an indis- cretion, yet net one single word of a bigotted or excluding nature was uttered, save upon one occa- sion ; when a phrase considered to be of a bigotted nature having been aged, that phrase was emphati- cally condemned by the all but unanimous vote of two public meetings: there was indeed but the single negative of the utterer of the phrase himself —he stood alone. y The third proof arises from the conduct—that is, the acts, of the Catholic people during the agitation for emancipation. We had our tens and our twenties of thousands of meetings. We had our Catholic boards, and Catholic committee, and, finally, our great Catholic Association. But there was no riot, no violence, no tumult. No Protest- ant was injured in person, nor in property, by the Catholics, in their struggle for emancipation. No Catholic associator was ever accused of any crime, committed in the struggle for relief, with the excep. cion of myself ; and then the charge of sedition was so frivolous that the bill of indictment against me was igaored by a grand jury, the foreman and two-thirds of whom were Protestants, and several of them Orangemen. There was not one single assault committed in the agitation for emancipa- tion. I, ome ot the most prominent among the agitators, and, probably, may [ venture to say it, one of the most popular, repeatedly declared that would abandon the pursuit of emancipation, if it were stained with one single drop of human blood. And, blessed be Heaven ! no such stain taints that cause. The fourth proof is derived from this—that my principle has been throughout, and is, that, ‘‘every change of political institutions should be effected by exclusively moral and peaceable mea: “that no amelioration,however ip its nature va! ble, in the laws of government, should be purchas- ed by any one crime or sin of ever so small a de- gree—and above all, is not worth \he purchase by the loss of one single life.” - This doctrine I have preached and practised. By the assertion and practice of it, te Irish eee carried the question of emancipation, and [, whe poste of this doctrine of peace, am the original youseas, it ig Manifest, the unlimited confidence oF the [rsh people. Oh, how idle must bethe jealous. tesand the tears of any of our Protestant fellow. col en: My Ath proofis to be found in the conduct of the Catholics after emancipation. There was no inso- lence of triumph—no insult to our former oppo- nents. The usual demonstrations of public joy were forborae. There were no bonfires, no illumina- tions, no exhibitions of public delight, lest they should be deemed insulting to the defeated Orange party. The active Catholics courted the g will ot the Orangemen, we entwined the orange round our green ribbon ; we did all we could to conciliate. We combined both colore, and we did all we could to combine both populations; I myself, for more than six yeara, courted the Orangemen in every way, in my power. | was laughed at tor my pains. Though no man ikea to be the object ot ridicule, yet I bore it, and persevered in my effurts to conciliate the Orangemen. ‘They refused to be conoilinted, and yet they were suppressed by an act of parliament brought in by their own friends the Tories—an act which we the Catholics did net call for, and which many of us . My sixth proof is al-o derived from the conduct of the Catholics since Emageipation, with respect to the parliamentary and municipal elections. In no instanee, at any pariamentary election, was a Catholic preferred to a liberal Protestant. In every instauce the parliamentary elections, a liberal, Protestant has been pref-rred to a Catholic. The same principle and practice have prevailed in our municipal elections. In every instance the liberal Protestants have been preterred to Catholias The office of Lord Mayor of Dublin hasbeen filled by three gentlemen since the Mu- nicipal Retorm Bill. The first was a Catholic— the second a Protestant. The third is a Catholic, but his successor, the Lord Mayor elect, is a Pro- teataat. This evidence of a total absence of a bigored feeling among the Catholicais the stronger in Dublin, where the Catholics had been, for near forty years before Emancipation, and for several yeurs after, capable in point of law of ne free- en of the corporation; yet not one siagle Catho- lic was allowed to attain even that sma! benefit it is not, therefore, from the conduct ot the Catho- lies that those idle jealousies and fears arise ; but uahappily from seme self-condemnation on the part of several Protestants. It is in human nature that some of them should be unable to believe even from the most distinct proois that others are more liberal than shsy are themselves, The seventh proof that unlimited confidence may be reposed inthe Catholic people ot Ireland { draw, naturally and forcibly, trom the condac of the people at the monster meetings last year— meetings at which not only no violence was com- mitted, but not even one single accident occurred. At the lowest calculation, one million of Irish as sembled at Tara; yet not one single person was pressed upon, or trodden upon, or hurt, or injured— aye, even by accident! Are not these a people fic to share in. the government of their native land? Oh, how idly are jealsusies and fears entertained of auch a people! r i The eighth proof is derived from the mighty temperance movement. More than five millions, Ceti Catholics, have taken the Tees very small per centage, indeed, have violated it— r centage 80 minute as to be almost incapable of enumeration. Temperance carries in its train, to the house of the poor man, many and many a social virtue. Viee of every kind flies before tem- perauce. Amongst the temperance men the reli gious feeling is easily predominant. The public houses are deserted; the ultar rails are thronged Oh, blessed be God! the Irish people are fit to bea nation. Who so fitas they? : The ninth proof that the jealousies and fears of Catholic ascendancy are unfounded and preposter- ous is grounded on the number and strength of the Protestants themeelves. If auy attempt were made to establish Catholic ascendancy, all the Protest- ants would naturally and necessarily rally against such iniquitous proceeding. They would be joined He all the liberal and enlightened Catholics, and by all the just, generous, and humane Catholics They would be backed and supported by Protest ant England. Their enemies would have all the weakness belonging to injustice. The Protestants would have on their side the powerful moral force of being in the right, and suffering unjustly wrong (do firmly repeat it, that nothing in nature can be so absurd as for the Protestants of Ireland to ap- prehend a Catholic ascendancy. . My tenth proof of the idleness of any such fear is the fact, that from the state of property in Ireland a very great umber of the members of the House of Commons must be, and probably a inujority would be, Protestants. Io the [rish House of Lords the Catholic peers are about 5 per cent of the entire How 18 it possible to apprehend hat any ascendan- cy law could pass such a parliament? And it ir still more impossible that such a law should receive the assent of the Protestant Monarch of Great Bri- tain and Ireland. My next proof isdeduced from the conduct of the Repeal Association and its agitators, on the tri- umphant event of the reversal of the judgmen: against leading members of the association. There never was &@ prosecution more vexatiously conduct- ed. The usual courtesy, a slight one in itselt, of allowing us to appear by gitorney, was refused — We were compelled to be in readiness to appeur in court every passing hour. [ will notdwell upon the one-sidedness of the charge of the Chief Justice, whose nephew has got an excellent place in the Castle, and whose son in-law has got that excellent thing, an Irish bishopric, irom the prosecuting gov- ernment; neither shat! I dwell on the now torever admitting onthe tace of the record traudulent man- agementof the jury list ; nor shall I dilate upon the Wojust imprisonment which we have sustained for no less than three mouthe—an imprisonment for which, as the record now demonstrates, there is no kind ey aeoriere or palliation—an imprisoument which the Court itself offered to suspend if the Al- torney General—that is the Irisn government— would consent. I pass over, also, without com- ment, what Lord Cloncurry has called the ‘‘pro- jected massacre at Clontart ;” | pase these by for the present as materials, I trust, tor parliamentary inquiry and impeachment. Buti avail myself of them tor the single purpose of showing that never were men 60 provokrd, #0 unjustly stimulated to uritation and revenge, 90 excited to break out inty an exuberance of revengetul joy—never was there a set of men more entitled to all the violence of triumph at the ultimate reversal of judgment—yet, Protestant non-Kepealeis, we appeal to you whe- ther passion was not suppressed, irritation and ex- citement mitigated and soothed, every epecies of insult avoided ; agitation, instead of being inflam- ed, cooled down into something that has been re- proached by our enemies as timidity. Yes, we nave preferred the appearance of what we could not feel, umidity, by the excess of our meekness to anything that could prevent a single non-Repealer from joining the ranks of bis country. 3 Non-Repealers, reflect deeply upon these differ- ent topica—you have everything to gain, you can have nothing to lose, by the repeal. The repeai will restore to Ireland @ circulation, ia employ- meut, wages and business, of not less than £6,000 - per annum; but fam not at present arguing the question; every man in Ireland intuiuvely knows that the Irish eught to make Jaws for Ire- land, and that no country was ever governed tor the benefit of its people by another country. — I shall simply confine myself to « quotation of the meat perfect truth from the late Lord Chief Justice Bushe. His words are—‘'1 forget tore moment the unpracipled means by which the union has been promoted, and I look on it simply as England reclaiming in a moment of our weak- ness that dominion whieh we extorted frem her in 4 moment of our virtue—a dominion which she uniformly abused—which invariably oppressed ana ed us, and from the extortion of which | our prowperity.” He added—* The union is a measure which goes to degrade the country, by saying it is unworthy to govern itself. It is the revival of the odious and absurd title of conquest—it is a renewal of the abominable distine- tion between mother country and colony which lost America—it is the denial of the rights ot na- ture to a@ great nation from an intolerance of its prosperity.” a Now Tiske it, that no proposition was ever so perfectly clear as this, that freland cannot, and will not, submit to that denial of the mghts of nature, which Lee 8 to heras a great nation anda virtwous people. It is perfectly clear that things cannot rema. they are ; there must ne- cessarily be some change. This is asserted as dis- tinetly and emphatically iy the Conservative mem- ber of the corporation of Dublin, the talented Dr. Maunsell, as itis by me. The Irish people have more of the virtue ot perseverance thau the people of amy other Leen on the tace of the earth. They have been spoilated of property, it is true, but they have retained tenaciously their opinions, their senuments, their affections, and, above all, they have clung to their religion with dos perate fidelity. They are, [ repeat, the most perseve: people on the face of the earth—they never will, they never can, abandon the cause of repeal ; and they will ulumately carry that measure as assuredly as that \o-morrow’s sun will rise. Whilst we, leading sgitators, aud particularly whilst I happen to live, ney will never seek to carry the repeal by forcible vf Violeat means. But the mao i# worse than mad who does not perceive in the conduct of the Iriet veople that determination to establish self-govern- nent, which, when the present leaders, and | amongst them, are removed, may well preauce separation, but can never tolerate the continuance of the umion. This, indeed, is just the time to carry the repeal, peaceably, quietly, legally, constitutionally. We are arrived at atime, whea, if the Protestant and Catholic non-Repealers abandon their apathy or opposition, and join in the agitation for the repeal, the Union can be repealed without danger, diffi. culty, tumult, or force ; aud without, in any wey, Rmaae the rights of property, or the enjoymenis of social bfe—a bloodiess poliucal change, such as that of 1829, now be achieved without dif_i- culty—a bloodless, political change, such as that of 1782, can now be achieved without the least difficulry. Lord Althorp, himself, when opposing the repeal, because called tor by only a section, however large, of the Irish people, declared, that if the entire Irish nation required that repeal, they were entitled to it. This proposition was tull of plain good sense.

[t is a period in which the lead would be given ut onc: to the aristocracy of wealth, and to the persons most extensively interested in the prosper- ity of the country;—the Repeal jociation dows mut re aire any O'Connell party.

Expecially, we are ready to give and we are giving heartily and cordially to Mr.8. O'B ten, tothe Hon Mr. Hutchinson, and to our other Protestant associates, the lvad in the great struggle to reinstate Ire- land amongst tne iutions Indeed, the unlimited confidence which Mr Smith O’Brien hax acquired, which the Hon. Mr. Hutchinson is daily acquiring, should demonstrate to all right thinking Protestant non: Repealers with facility they would ubtain their proper weight aud importance, and conside ration, in the «ontest for repeal, and for the recon- struction of the Irish parliament. This is emphaticoelly ths time for Catholic and Prot ant nen-Repealers to join in the agitation—if they wish, ‘as they naturally must, to shure in the government of their own country—if they desire to secure fc.m future convulsion, and if they wish to t told the ne of their [arcane they will j in procuring the re-establishment of Irish Parliament, without which there can be no lasting tranquility in Ire- jand. ‘This emphatically is a period when humor, good temper, the disposition to conciliate, and the anxiety to combine all classes prevails amongst the Irish peopie — pare eee revolutionary in the dispositions of the Repealers. Quite the contrary—an anxiety to prevent any forcible change, and to maintain the sociul state un- impaired and improved. fever was there a period of mora good temper and hilarity; thi: the time for peaceful combination of all sects and persuasions. ‘The very fact of there being a ae military force in Ireland ut present ought to give tional security against the prevalence of auy violent or revolutionary disposition ; and thet army which has been sent here to preveut repeal, would necessarily be protective of the peacetul settlement of the great ques- tion. Everything favors a combination at the present moment —even the prevalence of the hitherto scattered elements of Federalism now facilitates our great object It is true that federalism has not, as yet, displayed itself in the strength which | believe really belongs to it. 1 know there are numbers of individuals who hase not joned the Repeal Association, und yet are opposed to the continuation of the nuion upon its present basis, and de sire a federal connection in its stead. In inviting those persous to join in the contest for the repeal, it is mcumbent upon the -ssociat‘on disiinctly to trace out how far “simple Repealers” and ‘ Federalists? can go together, as aluo to point out how far the road is in common to bot nd to show distinctly where a differ. ence, if any, arises between them. It is duty to can- vass the to vero to Ire. career ‘appears most practical and most u: and. For my own part there never lived a being who would less than myself claim any species of iufullibility. 1 would yield, for the sake of co-operation, everything bat principle. 1 would follow in the track of an; man who serka for the restoration to Ireland of the power of legis- . Let me then state the principles upon which the “ sim- ple ropealers” desire to act, and let me show how fr the tedersliats concur in those principles. atin The first principle is founded on the determination, at all hazards, to preserve the coanection between Great Britain and Ireland, through the means of the power of @ sole executive, and the goiden link of the crown. Io this principle both “simple repealers” and “ feder- alista” completely agree ‘The sec nd principle results from the necessity ot the repeal uf the union statute, 60th Geo. IIL, chap 47. hat statute must be put out of the way legaily and constitutionally In this principle “ sinple repealers” and “ federalists” equally agree, Both, in fact, being repealers of the union —becuuse federalism cun commence only alter the repeal of oe rd principle arises from the necessity of a re- construction of the Irish parliement. ‘This principle belongs in common to both classes of cepeslers—* simple repealera” and “ tederaliats ;” because he mere r peal of the union statute would nut answer the purposes of either party, The were repeal ot the anion statute would revive the Irish parliament without he benefit of any reform schedules; it would give two members to the ruined abbey of Tuisk, two members to he round tower of K Icullev, two members to the sands Mf Bannow, and two members te the churchyard wail of Columines; this would never do. “ Federalists” auc “simple repealera” agree that thie would never do. There must, therefore, be u reconstruction of the Irish in all its integrity. ‘Thus far all parties, “federalists” and “ simple repeal: ers,” are agreed. There is one distinction which should be clearly un- derstood, and all confusion avoided on the subject—that £, adistinction between the mode of reconstiuction of the Irish parliament,and the powers which shall be vested im that parliament when reconatructe First, reconstruct your parliament ; and, secondly, de- cide what powers that parliament should have when re constructed. Upon the mode of reconstruction of the House of Com- mons the “ Fede. alists” and “aimple Repealers” might and ought to agree. It 1s true that the “Federalist s” have no. as yet any official organ, and therefore there is no state- ment of their views as to ‘hat reconstruction. It is also true that Mr. Gray Porter has, on this subject, thrown out objections to popular plans for rec natructing the Irish House of Commons; and these objections, coming fcom him, deserve .he greatest weight, and merit the fali- est and mest deliberate consideration. He, himself, a hat temper of mind, that he will patiently uments that muy be used to solve his ob whatever the result may be, the discussion tions shall be conducted in the most amica- bie way, and in the best temper. ‘The “stm le Rvpealere,” on the other hand, have long since laid their project before the public. Y propose that the number of members should con- tinue the same as the former number in the Irish House of Commons—namely, three hundred. They propose that the r. presentation should be based upon the numbers of the population, that being the basir adopted for the English counties by the English Reform Bul; let thia be kept in mmd—population was exclusively the basis of the uogmentation of the representatives 0: the English couat the English Reform Bull Taking up this English basis, the " simple Repealers” submit that there ought to be in Ireland 173 county mem bers—of these, Antrim would have 6; Armagh, 6; Fer- manegh, 6; Londovderry, 6; Tyrone, 6; Down,7; Mo naghan,'d; Cavan, 6; Donegal,6 Total tor Ulster, 60 [mention these partioulure regarding Ulster to show hot in our propesal complete justice is done to the Protestant province of Ulster upon the same scale precisely with the ce " ing thus 173 members allotted to the counties, d_ cities 127, of which, for jelfast, four to Limerick, The echedu’e to the resort presented to the Re Association on the 4th of May, 1840, will give full di to any body who takes the trouble of examining our gestions for the reconstruetion of the Irish House of Co The Repeal Association has also suggested that the franchise should be based on household suffrage, and that the mode of voting shoud be by ballot But these are particulars perfecity open to discussion between the “simple Repealers ” and the Federalists.” As to the vote by ballot, however, | for the present shall offer but one observation ; and that ix, that whatever objections may be started to this mode of voting, it is in its nature a peaceable mode of giving the vote, and one that excludes the possibility of violence or rioting It is now for the * Federalists ” to suggest their plan of re.conatruction of the Irish Honse of Commour not unlikely that the “ Federalists” and “simple Repeaiers” e@ a icubly upon the mode of re construction ; at all events, the discnasion ou these points can be, and | doubt not, will be conducted in a fair, impartial, and ami- div the absence of heat or violence - a) d of being shuuned by the simple Re- nxiously invited by ther —they do ot desire y ‘The Irish House of Commons bein; ed, a question of great importance e real ques. ple Repeal. ion ie—what extent of the rish perlioment ? sufficiently extensive to ennble the Irish parliament to protect the lives, Liberti je Trish of force In Irelands iu short, that it should be an ¢fficien parliament for all lvgislative, financial, and judicial pur. 6 to any bod: legally construct tion between the * Federalists partios are ugreed that these powers should be Proplo—that it should have por within her Majesty's realm of ireland.

The' Federalists,” on the con rary, appear to me to re quire more jor Ireland than the simple Kepeslers do—for besides the local perliement_in Ireland, having full anc perfect local authority, the Federaliste require that ther: should be tor questions of imperial concern— colonial military, naval, and of f reign all ance snd policy—a eon- ressionsl or ive parti in which Ireland jould have her fair share aad proportion of represente- tat bck rigutiend just to confess that in this the baer? would give Irelend Lead weight aq tance then ecquire means or tho plan of the simple Repealers. “Itthere were such @ congressional jisment es the Federalists propose, one third or ¢ itsof the mem- bers to be Irish ; giving to Great Britain the other yet the Federslists have not spoken out.

This calm bas heen mede in compliment to the friends of Ireland who buve not as yet joined the re pealstandard. We anxiously await their patriotic co- operation But should they allow the present favorable occasion to «scape, they may hereafter regret not having obtuined that influence inthe repeal cause which everybody is now reacy to give them ; but which they my herecher find it exceedingly ditticult, if not impossible, to obtein. This, therefore, is the propitious moment, especially tor the wealthi cst clesses, to join in the struggle tor trish in- dependence. ‘They ca. how take their uatural stats the head of tLe movement. They can now medel and re gulate proceedings in which they may not hereafter Gud an opportunity tw teke the pert which they woud w sh and be naturally entitled to. ‘There are two propositions perfectly clear : First That matters cannot remain @ they are in Ire land, but that the repeal movement accumulates in power and iorce in apie, of every obstacle.
