A preceding speaker has expressed his surprise at findiog in the United States advocates of such a course as England has taken towarda Ireland ; but as in swsiaps of the South ara rep- tiles who live on air, so in our democratic State we can, without detriment to our interests, allow such to live. | believe that the sveut which hus transpired in France was that for whioh O’Conne!! waited,and ifthe influence of the revolution in France extended no further thao its borders; if the flag o1 repudlicgnism wave not over Ire- Lynd, then hes Kinmet died, O'Connell lived in vain; and vain is the republicanism of this country, if all man be notredeemed We remomber how the autocrat of Rt sia went to England, to bow before and kiss Victoria's hand; how rhe crossed the ofiannel to kiss Louis Phi- ppo. These rulers, while exchanging courtesies, thought not that liberty was abroad, and from France should ‘come its first response to monarohical tyranny. This shail not be the last. We will ourselves supply Ireland with the munitionsof war Republicunism is found to 9 @ cause sure OF final iriumph--what ground it takes cen never be rerained We should not tremble upoa hearing that Louis Philippe at the head of ons hundred thousend armed men, hissoldiery, was advancing against the walls of Paris; arms won’t fight rithout men, nor men oxeept for the cause ot liberty, We will not stay 48 is consequence ofthem be led to ubdiow’e) aud the royal babies seat to suck the hears iu Polnud Phere ere willing hearte who will vive the peountary sid, immediately needed for the sending to Fronce two trustfal iciends, to watch England's difft- culty antl [reland’s opportunity. The help thet France was hitherto disposed so give to Ireland has been scat- tered; now the marchof inind is as a steam power, ren- dering useless the wooden walls of England: it erects itself in place of the guillotine. Democracy would never rock to kill Louis Philippe ; those invested with its spi- rit, can excla'm. “Live all the kings of earth, we can despisy you” Leonidas and his ninety men in the combat which immortalized both did but their duty.

Democracy shall yet write the epi- taph on Britisa tyranny, and the flag of our nation be once more unfurled, (three separate rounds of cheers, tor Lafuyette, O’Connel and France, were here given ) Oa their eubsidenca, Mr, SrnaHan, lats editor of the Progressive Democrat, thus addreved the meetiug :—Mr chairman and feliow oitizens, you will believe me, when I sey that I stand hero with mingled feelings of hope and satistaction We see on the continent a light which shall bura till all Europe is enfranobised from the chains of despotism, We have sfuel which will increase the volume of that he spirit of Feanee hus not only awakened the sef Englond and the retormers of Ireland, but found its way into the heart of Germany and the Stajes of Italy.

What I moan to say is, that bea have too great admiration for curiosities; that they will preserve the throne as @n evi- dence hereafter of the foolishuess of their ancestors. O'Connell looked for the day when Louis Philippe should be dead or dethroned, in the knowledge that reland wouli then cease from ths endu- raace of seven couturies of oppreession, and rank amidst the mations.
