Irish Democratic Confederation. The Meet...
IRISH DEMOCRATIC CONFEDERATION . The meeting of thfebouywaii we ! I ««« ended on Sunday evening laaty-at Oartwright ' s . Mr *• " ¦ " » £ Tioe-president , in the chair , who thanked the meeting for the honour they had done him in electing him tothevice- ' preaidency . Mr O'Connor ' s letter to the Irish people was then read amidst marked ana enthusiastic satisfaction , after which—Mr CLiNor commented , at considerable length , upon different portions of the letter in approval of tha policy adopted by Mr O'Connor in Parliament , and condemnatory of the fruitless attempt of Mr Mage © , in Dublin , to revive tho prejudices of tu 6 past in the breasts of the Irish people against the
president . Ha ( Mr C . ) contended that the man who was not prepared , ' at fire minutes notice , to aire his rote for the interest of his country was not fit to be in the house , nor " could his conduct be palliated by any excuse , however plausible , that might be made for ii—the fact was , Mr O'Connor ' s motion had spoiled the Repeal member / a ' game oftruoulenoy ;' he had jeopardised their hope of promotion by placing them , betweeti two , fires , ~ he hoped he would do so every session of parliament , till the undisciplined levies would be compelled to . stop at home till they attained Mr Magee- 'o standard of perfection in * National Legislation and Parliamentary tactics ;* but as we could . not hope for this , the better way would be each ' seislOn to throw thorn at once ' on to'the Ministerial benches ; they had been taunted , in that room , with not applying' themselves to Irish affairs ; he denied the assertion , there never wag a night but they had done so—unless interrupted by those who
made the charge—and , he would make bold to say , that everv Irishman who heard that letter read tonight would have sained more useful information and instructiOn ' than if they should read the whole of the Irish Papers , —Whi £ . Radical , and RepealerB—for the next twelve months . Mr C . concluded by moving the ' suspension of the standing order , which having been complied with , he' submitted tho following mo ion to the meeting : —• That this- meeting highly approves of the manly and untoaMou conduct of M . S , Barry , Esq ., at a public meeting fa Dublin , in reproving that attempt of Mr Itagee to slight the exertions of Mr O'Connor In parliament , thereby making fresh the sore which he pretended to heal , by furnishing an excuse to the pledged members of Repeal for their perfidious coriSuci on that question . This meeting is further of opinion , that the' watt awhile' doc . trine propounded by Mr Mageo has ever been the most miaous to Ireland . That her best orators have not
generally bees her best friends ; and that she n « eds not premeditated speeches in the British Senate ; but honest men ' s votes which wa . nlren » time In recording , Mr : H . TtfCKBR rose to second the motion , which , heflaid , bad hia hearty approval ; he contended it was their , duty to . watch public men—he lamented that the Irishpeepledid not exercise that control over rpub ! ic , nien , which would be a guarantee , to their keepmg in the right path . ; Mr T . adverted , to the conduct of Mr Bright in parliament . He jsaid the Ohartiotn had aUiavs denounced Bright aTid ; hi » Free Trade nostrums , bat O'Conneli bad alwsyg approved of it ; but look at his conduct now towards' Ireland . Whore were your fine speakers in the house 1 did any of thein reply . to bim ? Nbj they would leave it tor O'Connor to do—and 'he knew O'Connor would give him a rap for it . fret , bright a bay as he was .
, Mr HxHtoK . next addressed the meeting :, after haying paid in bis subscription and been enrolled . No man more respected Mr O'Connor than he did , but yet he thought that it was Itl-tiined of him to bring forward the Repeal question at the time he did—besides , the Irish members did not come to parliament to vote fop Repeal ; but to look for food for the people of that country . . He next replied to Mr . Tucker ' s observations on ; Mr Bright , and said , at the " time Mr . Bright brought forward his st a tements , that there was not a single notice from any Iriphraan on the books of the house , !' , '"" ' ' ' Mr C . M'Carthy replied to the last speaker , and contended thai the fact stated by Mr Hanlon . was an additional reason for ; Mr O'Connor , to place ! a motion
on the books , and as to creating dissension among the members , it was quite plain Mr Hanlon had riot read the agreement made between Mr O'Connor and Mr John O'Connell , nor Mr 0 ' Connor ' s offer to withdraw the motion if it was considered ill-timed by the Irish members , but did any . of them request him to do so ? ' Not one 1 on the ; contrary , John O'Connell told him to go on , that it , could not be in better hands , frhe gentleman had told them that the Irish members came over to get food for the people ; bat ; ought they not to have known what sort . of food tbev would get fromlthe 'base , bloody , and brutal Whigs ?' Cold steel and leaden bullets was the Whigs' regimen for the people ; they knew very well that while two millions of the Irish people were . being buried of star , vation there wai more food entering the docks of Liverpool from Ireland than from all thereat of the
world beside ; but Lord John ' would not meddle with private trade ; and they knew it—hence the absurdity of expecting ; anything for the Irish people from the Whigs but coercion , and hence the necessity of having such a man in the house as the member for Nottingham , who showed that tha great patriots were no patriots at all . Grattan , on a former Coercion Bill , said that sooner than his tenantry should be coerced ha would remove them to a foreign land ; but , now we seehiia voting with the Ministers . He believed the landlord class had brought misery on the land , that there were good landlords in Ireland , had been shown , who had no occasion to even bolt their doors at night because they felt themselves secure in the affections of their tenantry ; but until the people had the power to eontroul their . representatives by theprinciples expressed in the letter read ^ they would be ' always sufferers by the grinding class " of society .
Mr Suluvak said ; he hoped Mr Hanlon would not take umbrage at , any observation that might be made towards the lino of argument he had adopted . . He was sure , on calmer reflection , that his arguments were not tenable ., ; He ( Mr S . ) was glad to pay tribute to bis countryman , Michael Joseph Barry , on this occasion , although no roan had made a severer thrust at their principles than did M . J . B .. in his prize essay ; but although he once might have thought that the people had no right in the making of the laws , he hoped he did not think so still—and he hoped to see him one day-advance a step further in the march of fraternalisation . He considered it was
a sad thing that the Irish people had no means , till lately , of testing the sincerity of the Irish members . Let us suppose they might be all honest patriots . But hew could the people be certain that they were so , unless they had some means of testing them ? fhey were elected as Repealers , but were never tested by it ; until , thank God and the men of Nottingham , Feargus O'Connor" * scattered the rats . ' ( Laughter ) And he hoped he would doso every sag . sion . as nothing would annoy the ministry more , nor show the Irish people their pretended friends , ' better than this sort of cross-firing by a few goad sharpshooters in the House ef Commons . ( Cheers ) Wadick to
Mr was glad see his . friend Mr Hanlon come amongst them . He could see that it was the beauty of their principle that every man could be heard with patience , and without fear of insult for his opinions . They preached and they practised equality , and the man that would stand up as ' dictator amongst them , would get laughed at for his trouble . A great deal had been said about Repeal , but he believed that m nation could be free unless Ha people were individually and collectivel y represented ; and he would challenge any man to prove that the people of Ireland had . got one potato more by all the aeitation in Ireland for the last twenty { years , nor wonld they forthe next , unless the neome S tw ° ^
affairs into their own hands , and until the ; right 8 of £ H ? te i Ullyre I 00 gn , l , byfch 08 e * ko Pretended to lead the people . He had sees a letter in . KX Mh » T - ° i : f le * 'VWW » ^ writer stated that the Irish people were the most loyal neopleon the face ot the earth , He believed that iaa a lie—nay , more , it was worse , damnable hypoorisv and a gross insult to the Irish people . They had no * reason to be loyal ; and one great reason for his joining this society was , because , its members did not teach such fulsome , soul-sickening stuff Mr Bbzbb followed , and argued in favour of the policy purfluod by Mr O'Connor . Hewasglad to see that the Irish people ' s eyes were opening . Once opened , the sham patriots would not find itso «« v * macter

Mr Glass ( an Englishtoan ) said , he hailed wj delight the rapid strides made by the Confederate throughout Ireland , England , America , ' and ft colonies .

Mr T .

It behoved tfil Confederation to be verycarefulastothetermae ^ p tered into with the Conciliation Hall party > for a » J conciliation . The principles of the Confederati « i must be kept intact and inviolate ^—but he ( Mr hill
thought fthat the letter of Mr O'Connell , in tin Fhbbman ' b Journal , would act as a barrier to a tj union , as it recommended lugging in tbe priesthood , Mr O'Connell would find that he had a very smal portion of that body with him . He begged to stab to the meeting that the Confederation had purchase the pOES Sodthern ' : Rbportbk , and that there was every probability of a Confederate journal beiij started at Nenagh .
