O'CONNELL. Continued Opposition to the Ultramon- tane Demonstration. TROUBLE FEARED ON THURSDAY. Preparations in New York and Brooklyn. [SPECIAL DESPATCH TO THE HERALD BY CABLE. ] Lonpon, August 2, 1875. Earl Desart, of the county Kilkenny, a liberal in politics, has denounced the O’Con- nell Centenary celébration arrangements on account of their sectarian character. ‘THE FENIAN AMNESTY ASSOCIATION TO PARADE IN MOURNING.

PREPARATIONS FOR THE CELEBRATION IN NEW YORK AND BROOKLYN—MASS MEET- ING TO BE HELD AT COOPER INSTI- TUTE—DR. M'GLYNN TO DELIVER THE ORATION—SECTARIANISM TO BE STRICTLY AVOIDED. The preparations for the celebration of the O'Connell Centenary on the Oth inst. are being hurried forward with as much despatch as cir- cumstances will allow. late date at which they were commenced they have not yet arrived at that stage of perfection which tne promoters would wish, and much re- mains yettobedone. The speaker of the even- {mg—che Rey. Dr. McGlynn—has been decided on and has signified nis consent, but the chairman | and vice presidents have notyet been selected. The committee express great anxiety on this point and appear sincerely desirous of giving sat- isfaction to all creeds and classes of the Irish people. Mere politicians, they say, will be leit Dut in the cold and as much care as possible will be taken to avoid the mistake made in Dubiin and to keep the demonstration entirely tree trom any appearance of sectartanism. They recognize the fact that O'Connell was the greatest champion of Irish nationality of modern times and that, as uch, he belongs to the whole Irish people, and not to the Catuolics alone. AMONG THE IRISH NATIONALISTS Btrong fears were entertained thata purely ultra- mortane aspect would be giVen to the affair, and | that the great tribune would be represented as the champion of Catholicism, to the exciusion of his national character, and the selection of a Catholic priest as the orator of the occasion gave apparent jorce and color to the suspicion, A num- ber of members of the commitiee of arrange- ments appoimted at the mecting in Hibernia Hail on Friday night were visited by @ HERALD reporter yesterday, and all spoke strongly in Javor of mak- ing the demonstration a purely national and un- sectarian affair. Mr. Edward L. Oarey, in par- ticular, wlo 18 one of the secretaries ef the com- mittee, Was emphatic in his expressions as to the necessity of having Irishmen of all religious per- suasions tuke part in the celebration, and of pre- venting politicians from using itfor their own Personal or party purposes. ‘The list of invita. tious, he said, Was not yet complete, and the com- mittee would refrain irom publishing any names til is could speak with certainty, but he could fely say that no distinction would be made either as regards LIGION OR AMERICAN POLITICS. Protestants of ali denominations were equally weicome with the Catholics, so as they were known to be good Irishmen and to respect the memory of O’Connell, and republicans and deme- crats alike would be cordially invited. ‘the Gov- ernor of the State, the Mayor and all the State and civic functionaries, as well as all the prom. Inent men, irrespective of party, whuse names | wouid give tone and character to the assembiuge, would be asked to attend. meut and all other Ir sh military bodies would be requested to atiend in uniform, but ne could not yet say whether ail would respond. ‘The call was so Short that, possibly, al! mignt not have time to ket ready, but the committee hoped to see, at least, a good representation of them. Tne chair- man had not yet been decided upon and on no ac+ sount would the committee mention any names ull the gentleman had signified his acceptance. All Mr, Carey would say was that & man whose reputation and character would command the Tespect of the whole community would be chosen, and that as scon as he accepted his name would be publisned. Owing to this being the yeason when so many people are out of yjown he could not say whether any of the gentlemen they had in view would be Available, but the committee would do the best they could in the emergency and give the name to the public as soon as possiole. The same reason prevented them from pubiishing the names of those whom they intended asking to act as vice president.

IN BROOKLYN, At a meeting of the convention of Irish civic societies of Kings county, held at Hiberuia Hail, Brovklyn, on suuday might, Jor the purpose of taking action with reference to honoring the Memory of Daniel O'Connell, the Liberator, it Was announced that Mr. Richard O'Gorman, had accepted the invitation te lecture at une Acadet uf Music, on Weduesday evening, the 4th inst.

Every prominent Irish- man interviewed on the subject, without ption, condemned the narrow-minded bigotry and intolerance of the altramontane programme. One gentieman observed, with ¢m- poasis, “The whole programme ie ers to Catholic emancipation—it ts ‘up with the Church’ through- out; BO’ a Word about repeal or ‘Ireland a ha- fon.’ My grandfather was a reiugee trom Ire- jand after the rebellivn of '95, and he was astaunch Protestant, li toe Catholics now want to turn the national movement to anotoer account aud devote Lier attention to government in Germany instead of Engiand’s misruie in freland, they can have DO sympathy irom me one irish-Amert- can. If such a precedent were to be lollowed we suould have purely Protestant celebrations to honor the memory of Grattan, of Wolle tone, Rob- ert Emmet, Smith O’Brien, Thomas Davis und & host of others.”” When tt 18 considered that many wealthy, prom- inent and respectable Irishmen in Hudson county are non-Catholies, the lorce of the loregomg re- marks will ve quite appareat, Even the Ancient Order of Hiberntans, who have been accused of | | rafical and extreme religious tendencies, have | resolved tu take no part in tne celebration on | Tharsday.
