1 st exerted and diffused in a wide circle all around him . " And here /* said he , " I cannot help indulging for a moment in the melancholy pleasure of thinking , had he been now living , how cordially would he have rejoiced to meet us in this place , audto join with us in all the transactions of this day ! How pleased would he have
been to witness the honour you have conferred upon one whom he himself delighted , on all occasions , to honour ; and whom he distinguished by his kind and affectionate regard , continued through
many years to the last moments of his existence . Well ! " said the speaker , mournfully , "he is gone ! By his death , one great happiness of my life is struck down , and the chief glory of our neighbourhood is for ever eclipsed ! If that venerated
person , to whom I am alluding , " continued the speaker , c < were capable of hearing what I am now going to say , I am sure he would approve it : I am sure he would applaud it . It is this : that we cannot do greater honour to his memory than by cherishing in our own minds , and promoting in the minds of all around
us , the same candour and charity which shone out so brilliantly in his character . ' * Mr . Field concluded by repeating his thanks for the honour and happiness the company had conferred upon him that day , by their kind attendance , and by their most generous and splendid gift ; adding his best wishes for their health
and happiness , and his humble hopes of having with them a far more joyful meeting , under far more favourable circumstances than they could now conceive of —hereafter ! We need make no comments on the excellent sentiments of the Address and Answer , alike honourable to all parties .

Address of the Catholic Association to the People of Ireland . ( Concluded from p . 380 . ) Fellow-Country men , Attend to our advice—we advise you to abstain from all such secret combinations ; if you engage in them , you not
only meet our decided disapprobation , in conjunction with that of your revered clergy , but you gratify and delight the basest and bloodiest faction that ever polluted a country—the Orange faction . The Orangemen " anxiously desire that you should form Whiteboy , and Ribbon ,
and other secret societies ; they not only desire it , but they take an active part in promoting the formation of such societies ; they send amongst you spies and informers ; first to instigate you to crime , and then to betray you to punishment . They supply their emissaries with money ,
and they send them to different parts of the country , holding out to the people the pretence of being friends and fellowsufferers . The instances are not few nor remote of such instigation , and it is quite natural that the Orangemen should adopt such measures . When the country is disturbed , it is the Orangeman's harvest ;
he is then employed in the constabulary force and in the police , and he obtains permanent pay in the yeomanry corps . He shares the rewards with the informer , and often helps him to mark out his victim . He is also able to traduce the people and the religion of the land . The absence of constitutional law enables the
Orangeman to exert ruffian violence with impunity ; and thus , by means of secret and Whiteboy societies and outrages , the fell Orangeman is able to gratify his predominant passions of avarice , oppression and cruelty .
You could not please the Orangemen more than in embarking in secret societies , Whiteboy ism and outrage . On the other hand , you cannot do any thing that could more afflict your sincere friends . You could do nothing that could give greater grief to the Catholic Association , that now affectionately and
anxiously address you . We are striving to obtain your rights by constitutional and legal means We are endeavouring to procure redress , through the proper and legal channel , for the oppressions which aggrieve you . We are anxiously desirous to obtain from Parliament a great diminution of tithes—a total abolition of the
Church rates—a great reduction of the grand jury cess—the abolition of the odious oppressions and heavy tolls , raised by bigoted ^ nd narrow-minded corpo - rators—a more pure administration of justice , more especially as it affects the lower and poorer classes of the commu-
