‘Thomas Francis Meagher delivered a lecture in Metro- politan Hall, last evening, before one of the most nume- Tous suditeries we have ever seen crowded into that Hall. Several regiments—among them the Irish one—attended in uniform, and the United States Military Band, from Governor's Island, were stationed on the platform, aod Played several pieces of Irish music. The battered ban- Proceeds of the lecture were for the benefit of the sur- vivors of that gallant regiment. Mr. Meagher was ac- companied to the platform by an escort of citizens, Comprising several Aldermen, General Sandford, General Hall, Colovel Burnett, of the Volunteers, &e. He was imtroduced to the audience by General Hell, and re- ceived with the greatest enthusiasm. Mr. Meagher then proceeded to deliver the following LECTURE. Lapns AND GENTLEMEN—The lecture hai drawn toa clove, but the duty I have anxiously and proudly accept ed is vot yetdissharged. It is now, withiu three days. just twelvemenths, since, ia the pursuit of the free tom I had lost, with the stars and stripes flying at the mizea peak, I came to anchor in the river that washes th: le’t shore of your noble city. It will be to my memory 4 dark day, indeed, when I shall forget the crowd of faves, radiant with delight and feiendship, which pressed around me as I stood under u free roof once more, and beheld myself, as it were, at the gate of the great ave- nue of Life—with multitude of voices calling upon me to enter, and in triumph be conducted to the sanctuary which the arms, the wisdom, and benefieence of your fathers had opened to the children of less favored lands. | Happy did I feel, that, for the congratulations of tat | day—the honors then decreed me—I could, to some ex- tent, evince my gratitude in the dedication of an hour or © to the service of those whose sears are witnesses to | the intrepidity and vigilance with which they stood by, and through the red waters carried, the ensigns of the | republic | Happy do I feel, when gazing on this peop'ed space— © brilliant and so vast—the thought comes upon me | that I may have set in motion the elements which repose im the higher regions of our nature, and that this hand, tremulous and unskilful as it is, may have drawn down from shove regions one kindly ray at least, to illuminate the heerth and homestead of the men who were the guardians of those ensigns. Happy—happy beyond the measure which the toazue can tell of—shall I feel, if, with this same hand, I can | smooth the pillow of the dying soldier—give, like Aber- crombie in the rands of Egypt, to his quivering lip, the cup which shall soothe the fever of his last breath ; or over his humble coflin, like the poet over the grave of Marce!lus, strew the purple flowers. Who could look on, and net feet his heart give way at the spectacle of a glorious companionship, stricken oy want, disease and death—a group of stately trees, struck by the storm. stripped of tas »heltering leave-, aud seared by the lightming, bending to every passing gust, azd ove by one sipkivg, with the shreds of their gay foliage aud fragments ot their brave limbs, ia desolation to the earth? Who can read of a fine army—even though that army be the foe of freedom, and, in the fight, we ourselves should strike it to tbe heart—who can reed of such an army being cut to pieces. or by plagus or ‘amine disappear: from the earth, without commiserauon— without a thrill, a syllable, one tear of noble pity? If, then, to the stranger, though he come against us, our vature yields instinctively a generous measure of sympathy and succor, what should be the emotions, what the anxieties, what the actions, of those, who. in their midst, behold the wreck of those young legions whose crimsoned swords flashed in the sun that shone up there upon the fortress of Chepultepee. and so helped to clear out a pew field for thas adventurous activity, the spread of which neither the forest, nor the swamp, nor the mountuin, nor the river, nor yet the covenants and intrigues, the contrivances and conspiracies of the croxned families down there in Wurope, nor their allies here or elsewhere, can hamper, divert, nor for an hour withstand.

As crime to be a young man. But it mattered little about the mocking baptism. It was with the birth, the ca- reer, and fate of this party they had to do. In the au- tumn of 1842 the first number of the Nation newspaper appeared. It wax unnecessary to say a word descriptive of that jourpal--the truth of which it was the oracle— the genina that gushed from it as crystal waters from a golden fountain. Wherever. in any sphere or service, there best sn honest Irish heart, there that new testa- ment of freedom woke vibrations which, even to that hour, had not ceased to play; there, if the intellect of the wanderer bas not been obscured—if his heart has pot been tainted with selfishness or scheming, have the wemories redeemed by that gospel, the virtues ic forced. the destiny it claimed for Ireland, been et nally enthroned. Such wax the effect abroas home it formed s new school of politicians, sought, on the highest grovnd, and with the highest agencies, to work ont the indenendenes of their country. With what agencies? First of all, by the invocation of pure, deep love of country—a love flowing from a know- edge of all thet was mosi noble in her snnals—alove that through ell vicissitudes, dark or brilliant, would be ever fresh, active, aod abounding—be to the cause of Ireland what the river ix to the land, a source of beauty, fertility, and power—eqnally true to the past, the present, and the future—reflecting in its depths the rains of the buried the green growth of the living day—and the inex- tpgnishable light, the sun of freedom, which encom- passed all. Hence it was that the long array of all who had, in days gone by, done good service to the old lind— worship of those who stood where they had stood in life, and were pow, through this pious labor, made the inberi: tors of a recovered glery. Hence it was, that from their unipseribed graves—from the prescrivtion to which a pretentious prudence, an intolerant leyalty, a base ingrati- tude, had consigued them—the mea who had risked all, cared all, lost all for Ireland; who had faced the bayone' \d gibbet of the Dioclesians of the Englich thr me; who had red out their blood upon the field and ing with a sublime geotlenese, had only asked of their country, in return for the love and life they gave her, that their epitapbs should not be written, until she took up her place among the nations. tyrs of the island, were from their sepulchres summoned forth snd the defamed were canonized. But this love was not to cling to the dead alone—it was to embrace the living Burying all those rancorous recollections of creed, and linesge, sud calling, which had so long served so fearfully to intiuence vhe faculties of the country, and s0 distract and render powerless the strength which should have been combined—burying all these rancorous recol- lections—healing, purifying, strength of the country—this love was to realize the holy project of Theobuid Wolfe Tone, ject?

Panting to see this end accomplished this union. in politics and soci } ety, of all creeds cemented—this love made perfect—did Thomas Davis utter these noble aspirations:— “What matter that at different shrines We kneel unto one God. What matrer that at different times Onr fathers won the sod?

It went forth into other lands. Wherever the fight for freedom was on foot, it spoke out day, uo craft fails to strike the minute bell—vut tuat it | a word of ercouragement—a word of exultation.

May that flag never fail to find less eager champions than you have been, to shielt it from disgrace, and bear it like m charmed robe, unhurt through the flames of | war.

That glorious noon, God send it soon ! Hurrah ! for human freedom ! ‘The effect of such sentiments was, in 1843, to attract towards Ireland the sympathies of every country that had a misrule to depose, or a better condition of laws to insti- tute. This was evident, ina singular degree, from the tone and language of the German, the French, and the Italian papers—published in the liberal interest. Thus had “Young Ireland” a ‘foreign policy”—thus did “Young Ireland” secure for their country, her cause, her struggle, ber principles and hopes, a concurrence! of solicitudes and activities amongst nations speaking various tongues, and having, it so seemed, habits, traditions, and interests, widely irreconcilable. But the cause of freecom was every whers the same—it every clime, elicited the like sentiment and passion. The fruition of it by ali nations would eventuate in an unaai- ity of peace and good will, and a serene glory to the oregate of humanity But what of the “domestle policy?” What of that policy which provoked against the young nationalists of Ireland tbe hatred and the hootings of the bigoted, the | knavish and the «loyal ’—the nee ty politician—the can ing and insatiable hypocrite’ They songht to extia- guish the feves of former days—to drown ino stream, deeper than that of Lethe, the memories that had so lous: burled off, into contiistiog fragments, the strength which should have been io generous piety combined—and were, therefore denounced as ‘infidels’? by every kaave who Grove his trade in Scripture and theology. Were so denounced, because they claimed for oll men and alltime that equality before the law for which their fathers had prayed, and toiled, and bled. Were so denounced, because {they were neither hypocrites nor bigots— bad more love than hatred—more truth than false. hood; and to this hour are so denounced, because there is not amongst them a conscience flexible epough to perpetrate, to their own shame and damaa- tion, a profitable or a “popular” conversion. [Tremen- dous cheering.) Mr. Meagher then proceeded to reca pitulate the otbe: leading points in the design and creed of ‘Young Ireland,’ laying particular stress upon the efforts made by that party to place the political move ment on an intellectual ba: For this, he said, for this. striving to have the public mind enlightened, that so it could not be deceived—that so ite excess id reckless credulity might be corrected—that so it might be revo- lute, active, intrepid and aspiring—for this, too, they were denounced as “infidels: 40 denounced by men who would keep the people in the durk, that so they might keep them in their grasp, and so use them as their cupidity prompted or their necessities re- uired. But in the name of “infidel” they gloried. In ¢ infamy whieh a love of intelligence and trath incurred, it was just and virtuous to exult. This, as’ every other calumnious @ or menace, they flung back upon their accusers, as they do now. They faced them, as they do now, puttiag the ques- tion, ‘Was this a crime?’ Did they curse the man who would not barter the priceless jewel of his soul? To win their smiles—to win their honors—should their favorite be a slave?” (Enthusiastic cheering.] Mr. Meagher then glanced at the proceedings of t| “Trish Confederation’’—at their conduct in certain Paf- liamentiary elections—in the newspaper, the tribune and the pamphlet. He insisted that their true ground of quar rel with O'Connell, was their insisting, in the language of Jobn Mitchell—‘‘that the national flag should be kept as perpetuity of a condition of government and society, based upon intelligence and good sense, qualifying, te each succeeding generation, the entire iy of citizens the yet. more wisely to exercise their great faculties, ‘ining te ‘chianees of the impostor’ and in the end, levas sting democracy to the highest level instead ot keeping it to the lowest—the foe of bigotry, from whatever pulpit it may descend, or in whatever garb it may or play its maddening pranks—the foe of tyranny in every clime, whatever be the motto or ‘the mask under which it marches, or whatever be the with which it is installed—acting a# you have acted—true, as you have been true, brave soldiers! my service to the republic, as you have tbe necessary, literal of my blood. in the republic, as you have been—I trust that, of Henven to crown me with the white silver crown of age, back upon a Tahail be able to say, with the rent the conspirator against the Roman Com- ¢efensi adolescens, non deseram senex,’’ stand, with a proud love and —her interests, her laws, and more than one good reason for not alene that I am grateful for the the citizenship insured to me; it is not form of government, and this the finest and most truthful ex will ne sessitios, iuleloc’ aad om thin earth oxists; bat that | tif FES ri ? é £ Gi i Hu ane, 3 } haughtily flying in the face of the whig, as in that of the conservative administration.”’ The inculeation of this bold and purest poliey, became necessary in July, 1846, whiem Sir’ Robert Poel vacated the red. box and the treasury bench, and Lord John Russell, with his stock company, took’ possession of the same.’ The immediate followers of O'Ccnnell—those especially in Dublin—were strongly addicted to the wh raid, to give tbem a fair good to Ireland! That was, (Mr. Meagher exclaimed) they were always so good to those who played false to it i ‘4 4 | 1 | and triumph, gaze upoa the billsand his home far off but wake him | in the days of Pitt and Walpole, it was an atrocious | soldiers, echolars, statesmen—all were given back to the | over them, before the Spirit of Freedom, the armies of the kings fell trate to the earth. It might have veea 8 wild belief—but men eager for the disenthralment of their land might, in such a crisis, be pardoned the belief —that the poe had but to strike one blow to prevail . Meagher then introduced the naiae of Smith O'Brien, amid the most enthusiastic applause. He said that he knew of no man who had a larger heart for | the people.; that he was as jealous for the freadom of his | country as of his own honor; that he threw himself into | the insurrectionary movement with Roman earnestaces and devetion. Tudo a» he had no temptations save those which excite to virtue, and to heroic goodness persuxdes and prompts the honest conscience. Smith O'Brien was more sanguine of success than others were, Ha thought that the people would turn out in masses, and thet the | Roman Catholic clergymen, if they did not head, would at all events not dishearten and restrain They did dishearten and restrain them This was a fact | which he (Mr. Meagher) knew not who would question. | They did so in all the villages and towns where Smith | O'Brien endeavored to rally and concentrate a body of armed wen. They did so especially on that occasion where Smith O'Brien. with a handful of ragged and hall- armed men, eame suddenly, and by the merest accident, into collision with tbe polize. But thore were noble deviations from the course, which, as » body, the Roman Catholic clergymen thought it advisable or expedient to pureue. There were many young curates throughout | the country—im the Navan, os Watestord.ii Dabiin tor ipstance—fully prepared and promp row . hee ne ae Thorement, to'aid it and to. bless it Taking a broad view it was rot incorrect to state that the bishops and the parish priests were opposed to the movement, snd to suppress it brought their immense influence in the pulpit, and ic the forum, and in the deli, to operate. On the other hand, the curates of the Roman Catholic Church were, to a man, in favor of it. This he knew, thatia one memorable instance a young curate was | umrebing to join O'Brien, with « body of brave tellows he bad hastily cellected and armed from the hardware stores of the village, when the parish priest appeared, and with severe admonitions dismissed the good curate | ana his escort. Had the Catholic clergy, as a body. taken another cour-e—had they gone out, a the Sicilian jests went out—as, ifI mistake not, the arehbishops of Mien had done—had they lifted up the cross in front of the insurgent ranks, there would have been a different story written. Who elee were opposed to the movement? The’ O'Connellites, slmost to @ msn. In Waterford, the most vigorous of them were sworn in as ‘special | constacles,” to put down the ‘Trish rebels.’” So, too, | the Oracge'party, whe thought their church and anaiver: | saries were im ‘danger, and so buckled on their armor | of righteousness, and pitened their tents under the lion and unicorn. So, too, the landlords, who have lived upon the sweat and blood of the people, and now tremble lest tbe grave wonld give up the dead, and the victims of their evictions and ete —swelling the army of the poor—would peecipita upon their heads, their houses, and thelr idle ehildron, a crushing retribution. So, too, the Castle folk, who had their opera glasses, their bouquets, their scented gloves | of pink or primrose, their genteel 'servility, their hand- some beggary, their eligible caughters, to protect and pro- vide for. 50. too, the merebant, the tradesman, the rail- road and every other speculator—all, in a word, who had ‘ny amount of money in the bank-—they believing that a wholesale depiedation, or a communiatic distribution of property, was the ony thizg contemplated, being beaten into this belief by the lurid scribes and’ seoundials of the English press, who made the mort of that terrible busi- ness of the month of June, iu Paris, toealumniateaad ery down. in Ireland, the cause of freedom and republicau- ism. Who. then, were for it? None, save the brave young mechanics of the cities and the towns, a fow of the writers of the Dublin and provinciel press, the Catholie curates, and afew of the peasantry, though the heart of all was in the right piace. But with them famine had done the | worst. It hadenten even ro the soul, and killed there \ the most vital of all instinets, that which prompts the r worm to turn upon the foot which threatens its uman life. ‘Tt was,” they said, ‘the eternal destiay of the land, avd Heaven’s will ba dove!” Thus failed thet movemeut in Ireland, in 1848. But all failures are not altogether failures. Let them hope that euch wrecks give a bedding for the arch that is yet to span the waters dividing’ the Irish raco from the pro- mised land, in sight of woich they have stood so long. During the delivery of thove portions of the discourse where allusions were made to Lord Edward Fitzgerald, Theobald Wolfe Tone, Robert Emmet, Thomas Davis, Jobn Mitcbell, Wa. Smith O'Brien, and other Irish pa- triote, the audience evinced the greatest enthusiasm, cheering each name loudly. The bold and frank language used in reference to the Irish priesthood, was as well re- ceived, and in that passage where tha lecturer said that the priests bad disheartened and restrained the popula- tion, a yoice cried out—\They shall doit no more,” a sentiment which was strongly applauded. At the coneluston of Mr. Meagher's address, the Presi- dent came forward and read the following letter from Gen. Scott :— Gentlemen—I should be hap; lecture, this evening, but fear present, Treturn the tickets you were kind enough to send me, avd beg that the small sum enclosed may be applied for | the benefit of the sick and disabled among my brother soldiers. of the First Regiment of New York Volunteers.
