NEW YORK HERALD. New York, § y, August 23, 1846. Affuirs in ireiand—the Poiltica: Revolution among the Repealers. We gave, in yesterday’s Herald, a sketch o¢ the scene in Conciliation Hall, Dublin, which marked the secession from the Repeal Associa. tion of the party known by the name of “ Young ireland.” The seene was a most extraordinary *, and forms a sad commentary on the heart- burnings and jealousies which are always to be found in great political organizations. A scene more utterly disgracetul to those who purposely flungthe apple of ‘discord into the midst of the association, has never been enacted. This dis- ruption of the party into two antagonistic sections, sa melancholy verification of the sad history of Ireland’s subjugation and enthralment, condensed by the powerful mind of Moore into four lines— ‘Twas fate, they wayward fate, ‘Their web of discord wove And whilst their tyrants jo They never joined in love lr always has been so. The late émeute in the association would lead the most sanguine to de- spair of its ever being otherwise. In reading the history of Ireland—in turning the mind to the social organization of that re- markable people, there is one fact which stands out prominently before all others, and that is—that twocharactes are less fitted to amalgamate hatof the Englishman and the Irishman— that Ireland has never been satisfied with her English rulers, and that she has always endea- vored to shake off th like an ill-fitting proved. yoke of English legislation, garment, as it has certainly Never was there a greater mistake than to try to govern Ireland by English laws. ‘There is un anecdote one of Sue’s admirable in romances, of an accomplished French mar- quis having succeeded in managing a wild German steed, which had been untameable to others, by of addressing to it pettingly a German—the sounds to which ad been accustomed on its native plains. Had the English government addressed itself to the hearts of the Trish people—had the Brehon law —an admirable system of jurisprudence—been upheld; had the language, religion, customs, and feelings of the nation been respected, instead of being trampled ruthlessly under foot, the Irish people would at this day be the happy, contented, and prosperous ally and friend of England. As it is, Ireland has ever been, since her conquest by England, the unwilling slave of that nation. She has never been contented with her yoke, and It is vain to talk of the Irish peo- ple as being partand parcel ofthe English na- words tion. It is absurd to talk of their being the loyal subjects of the Engish crown. They ne- ver have been—they never willbe. We do not see that they ever ought to be. Mr. O’Connell himself, unless his nature be the very quintes- sence of hypocrisy, cannot be, notwithstanding his many professions, a faithful subject of Eng- land. No man is better acquainted than he with the history ofhis country; and no Irishman con- versant with the history of English rapacity and bloodshed in Ireland, can be, unless his servility to the name of England be of a double dye, con- tented with the oppressive connection with Eng- Jand. Without referring to particular dates, we will say that Ireland has never, at any one pe- riod of her history for the last seven hundred years, been contented or happy,under English sway; and that the large majority of the people still look with eagerness to a total disruption of their connection with England. Mr. O'Connell has always pursued a peace policy towards England. By agitation he has gained one great good for Ireland—Catholic Emancipation. But since the passage of that bill, bis agitation has availed nought. After aban- doning the repeal agitation for several years, he was prevailed upon to take it up again in 1840, and since that time the association has rapidly increased in strength and influence. In 1842 and 1843, a large number of the Protestant youth of Ireland, who had hitherto kept aloof from the association, threw their weight into the scale; and by their talents, influence, and fervid patriotism, roused the entire country to a sense of the wrongs and grievances of Ireland. Mr. O’Connell was at first glad of this accession to his strength, but af- verwards he and his immediate friends became jealous of the rising popularity of Mr. Smith O’Brien, and those identified with him in feeling. A large number of the most respectable landed proprietors and professional men had joined the association, with the understanding that ull peace- ful means would be tried to obtain justice for Ireland—but in the event of the failure of peace- ful means, then that recourse would be had to extremities. Among the men identified with Mr. Smith O’Brien, are Mr, Dobeny, Mr. Meagher, Mr. Mitchell, Mr. Duffy, of the Nation newspa- paer, Mr. McNevin, and others, men whose ta- lents are of the highest order, and whose elo- quence is of the most forceful and fervid charac- ter. As we have said, Mr. O’Connell and his im- mediate friends became jealous of the rising popu- jarity of Mr. Smith O’Brien, and the young Ire- land party. But it was not until lately that this jealousy was allowed to openly manifest itself, although an occasion was earnestly sought by the O'Connell party, and as eagerly shunned _by Yonng Ireland. The Nation, the exponent of the views of the ‘Young Ireland” party, was bitterly attacked by the Pilot, the organ of Mr. O’Con- nell; and although the former scarcely deigned to reply to the latter, still an embittered state of feel- ing was kept up, and each party hated the other with the utmost cordiality. The first open slight put upon Mr. O’Brien was the virtual repudiation ,by Mr. O’Connell and his sons, of the principles upon which Mr. O’Brien | acted in refusing to obey the fiat of the English House of Commons. Mr. O’Connell had often avowed the same principles before ; but in order | put a slight upon Mr. O'Brien, he chose to re- cede from them on this occasion. Even under this Mr. O’Brien kept his temper. He knew that the cause of Ireland would be weakened by any open breach, and he therefore abstained from all occasion of dissension. By his firmness in re- sisting the commands of the English Parliament he had gained the enthusiastic love of the Irish people, and O’Connell saw that unless this were put a stop to, his own power would be sensibly diminished, and all prospect of the succession of nis son John to the influence which he himself has wielded over the masses, would be at an end. In fact, a breach was determined upon, and it was effected in this wise: The Nation had pub- lished, from time to time, articles declaring the determination of the Irish people to seek justice by moral means alone, but, at the same time, de- claring that, in great and pressing emergencies, J physical force is absolutely necessary. This sen- | timent was made the object of attack. Mr. O'Connell kept purposely away from the associa- tion ; but Mr. John O’Connell and his partizans declared that this article was of a daugerous ten- dency, and should be repudiated by the so- ciety, or else that he and his father, and all identified with him in feeling, would secede from the association. Upon this, a scene of confusion and uproar ensued. The Young Ireland party were cool and determined, | whilst their opponents were obstreperous in their interruptions. At length, Mr. Meagher was in a fair way to carry the feelings of the association with him, in a speech of singular eloquence and | beauty, when Mr. John O'Connell interrupted him, and declared that unless Mr. Meagter were «xpelled from the society, he and his father should «ease tobe members. In this he was followed by \ Mr. Steele, Captain Broderick, and others. This was throwing off the mask in earnest. There was -_ | mo charge against Mr, Meagher. He was a man who had served the society a thousand times more effectively than Mr. John O'Connell bim- self; and from his purity of character—his burne ing and persuasive eloquence, and exalted patriot. | ism, he would be an ornament toany association. | But he differed with Mr. John O’Connell in senti- | ment. This was the * head and frent of his of- | fendin Mr. O’Brien at once saw that a breach was inevitable, and he and his party immediately | withdrew. Of the other causes which led to this disruption, | and the results which are likely to ensue from it, | we will treat in another article. AcricuLturat Farrs.—In a short time onr regu- Jar State Agricultural Fair will take place at Au- burn, and several county fairs will take place in the course of the fall, when the farmer shall have had his crops housed, and his fall cropsin the | ground. Then our agricultural citizens will as- semble together, compare notes with each other, and gain information from a year’s experience. {The science of agriculture has made rapid pro- gress in this country within a few years, and se- veral new and improved farming implements have been introduced; the most of them the re- sult of our own ingenuity and experience. The , first and noblest of all—the plough, has been im- proved so much as to be now almost perfect and unsusceptible of further improvement. We re- collect a few years since, witnessing the perform- ances of an improved instrument of this descrip- tion, which required a draft equal to 800 pounds, to turn up @ green sward, and we saw at the last | State fair at Utica, the same kind of work done in a far better manner by a pléugh that required a draft of only 450. pounds. This is encouraging and gratifying in the extreme, particularly as other instruments necesgaty to the husbandman | have been improved as much. 4 glance at the | returns of agricultural produce in the various | States where agriculture is pursued, at once dis- | covers a great increase in the amount raised to tothe acre. The breeds of cattle,jtoo, have been improved greatly by importations from England | and the continent of Europe. There are but few of our farmers who cannot now boast of Durham | and Devonshire milch cows, and Berkshire pigs. | These great improvements in the artof hus- | bancry—for it is an art—are traceable to the hap- | py influence exerted by agricultural societies. — Not many years ago, the soil of Scotland was less fertile than that of any other part of Great Britain, | and the Scottish farmers were proverbially the | worst. Within that time agricultural societies | have been established, and a spirit of emulation | originated, which, in a few years, overrun th? | whole country—the results of which are, that Scot- | land now ranks as high as England in agricultu | ral science, and in the industry and intelligence | of her farmers. The same results have followed the same causes in this country. Our Eastern far- | mers, instead of selling out their old family inheri- | tances and emigrating to the sick y West, turn their attention to resuscitating their land, and by | pursuing a course of husbandry based on princi- ples of chemistry and the unalterable laws of na- ture, have been successful in reclaiming what was before considered barren and worthless,and made corn and wheat flourish where before wild briars held undisputed sway. Whilst rejoicing in these gratifying evidences of our agricultural prosperity, we embrace the opportunity of impressing, on all classes of our citizens, the duty that rests upon them of giving every possible encouragement to the improve- ment and prosperity of the agricultural socie- ties of the country, Our Lyxics—Lings to Joun Ranpoieu.—We give in another column some spirited lines writ- ten over the grave of that very eccentric man, Jobn Randolph, of Roanoke, by Caleb Lyon, of uyonsdale. They will be appreciated by ail those | who have ever seen Randolph rise up in Congress in his long, lank figure,and heard him in his shrill sharp voice throwing his biting sarcasm at every member who happened to cross his path. | We have on hand two pieces written by the same gentleman—one on Monticello, and the other on Mount Vernon—the graves of Virginia’s noblest sons. : | It will be seen by our readers that the poetry | published in the Herald embraces truly original and American subjects. Our Poet Laureate leaves town for a few days for the wild woods of Lewis county. We wish | him the pleasantest hunting and fishing excursoins | and may he enrich our columns with his choice | inspirations. In the country he will sip in poetry | with the refreshing mountain breeses. If he is | particularly fond of the good fresh milk of the | | country, we shall have the cream of his rich poetical genius. fg The steamer Atlantic on her last trip pas- | sed a small sail beat on the Sound, cut intwo as | if by a vessel ; not known whether any lives were | lost, or,how the accident occurred. \ Countsarert Mom: Young, man by | Outhank, of or table appearance, | publication office in Fulton street on Friday e: ted to er | attem: | ing to be of the Moi | in exchange for some trifling article ; he went out and rocveded to the store of Mr. Cleark, near the corner of | ton and Main streets.

[From the New Orleans Picayune, Aug. he We received yesterday the following letter from a friend at the Balize :— Barizr, N. E. Pass, August 10, 46. The U. 8. revenue cutters Ewing, Van Buren, Lo; and Forward, sailed this day for Brazos Santiago. Ewing has on board John A. Webster, who has been placed in command of the revenue marine forces cruising in the Gulf of Mexico. This flect, it is presumed, will cruise along the coast as faras Vera Cruz, for protection of our seamen; and we admire the promptness with which the Hon. Secretery of the Treasury has met the wants of eur mer- cantile community, in thus sending down these vessel whose services are so much bine ape = have rende! so much valuable assistance. We can but do justice to the officers comprising this squadron. for the diligence and perseverance have manifested in the of their duties. The U.S. bi Basi Lieutenant Commanding Blake, arrived at Key West on tho 3d from a cruise. e car ried a bearer of despatches from Norfolk to Cl A | and proceeded thence to Vera Cruz via Jamaica, where ¢ joined the squadron under Commodore Connor. She was immediately sent to cruise on the coast of Cuba, and particularly in the vicinity of Cape Antonio, for the pro- any be out, which as yet does not appear to be the case.— The Perry sailed again the 7th on a cruise, and will pro: | bably rejoin the squadron Cruz at an early day. | Her officers are as follows :—Geo. 8.

The late very warm weather, succeeded by the present, such as we have had for the last few days, is calculated to affect the constitution a good deal from the suddenness of the transition from heat to cold. When fruit of a questiona- blo quality is used, therefore, it is upt. to predispose the system for cholera, pleurisy, and such like complosints. Much caution is, therefore, required on this subject.
