1 . —Taking-n . o _ -ea . nnt the pries of this pamphlet , It might be not unaptly christened Twopenny Trash . The author is a Liberal , but objects both to The Charter and Eame s scheme of Reform ; the former , in Ms opinion , ' going too far , ' and the latter , ' not far enough . ' Be appears to regard tha Ballot as ef prim-- ? itap _* irtan . _S , and which , together with 'Equal Electoral Right , ' he places in advance cf tfee _Suffrage . His objections to ths Charter are of the weakest passible kind ; in fact , it is plain that he is ___ acq _ aii _ ted with ihe provisions of that measure , otherwise he would know that the enfranchisement of _Tsgrant _. forms no part of the Charter . A right of voting to any man beyond the age of twenty-one , renting it-use or apartment for the space ef sir
months , at a yearly rental ot £ 5 , whether payable weekly or not , is the scheme proposed by Mr T . J . Phillips . The result would be aa electoral body , not di-Uriug widely from the national _censtitueccy the Charter would create ; but the Charter has the advantage of not _bsing * a brick and mortar suffrage ;' bat , ca the contrary , a suffrage founded upon the intelligible principle of man ' s natural right to -elfgovernment . Mr Phillips objects to Annual Parliaments , the Abolition of the Property Qualification , and Payment of Members—the tbree points of the Charter . cf the greatest importance next to Universal Suffrage _, lie tell , us that there arc thousands of
patriotio men of wealth who would gladly accept the honour of being returned to represent a constituency . " Thank jou . for nothing , ' ss the Irishman said , We have bsen too long governed by _sneh patriotic gentlemen . Na doubt that even , under the Charter , a majority of 'men of _property' would be elected ; bnt it would be all-im = ortant that a goodly muster of working men shonld be r-tnrned to represent the rights of industry . Any extension of the Suffrage , _tmac-flmpanied by the Abolition of the Property Qaa'iSsation and Payment of Members , would be an _-daost harren _bDoa . In _Libour ' s ranks The or . ) hope of freedom dwells _.
Chartism. I. A Few Words On The People's...
publication we now extract the following admi rable exposition : — publication , we now extract the _followine
CH AUTISM Conceives that all men are born with equal rights . Establish an opposite principle , then one portion of mankind mast ba born to be m . _sters , tha remainder to be servants ; one portion must have phrenological developmeats to rule , tbe remainder have constructed organs to obey . _Ch-ctlsm conceives that all the children _comprislre ona famil y have equal claims npon their parents , and ate all entitled to the enjoyment of equal prlvilegaj and protection ; therefore , as soeiety consists merely of a union of families , tha same citiz-. n rights should be enjoyed b y the members of millions cf families as by the _Obil-ren done . Establish as _oppositeprincipl ? , tben it becomes right for the eldest to tyrannise over the youngest , and for a fraction to make laws fer the whole .
Chartism conceives that the aim and object of nniting families into society was to reduce to practical utility the mental and physical differences in men , to euable one to _contribute by mind that which he could not do by labour , another to irLct by contrivance tbat which he could net achieve by str _. Dgth— -all to do something so as to incr _. ase the wealth , strength , and resources of tbe nation ; all receiving in return common benefits and enjoying common ri ghts . Establish opposite _ptiaciples , _th-H the strong have a right to enslave the weak , the cunning to outwit the simple , the wise to tax the witless , and all to _de'eud -b _. _irli , j _ st * ee os tfce plea of possessing superior rights to their nel _^ h _. _ours .
Chsrtism conceives that as eaeh family would be naturally free and independent when it joined the social unisn , it would not associate to receive less but to acquirer greater ben ; fits from co-operation , therefore it could not agree that one family out of ihe many should make laws for tho remainder . Prova an _opposite priaciple and you establish the right of ono family to declare a _prmUged class , and to make ail O' . _hcrs an oppressed clas 3 ; and as it Increases in numbers you bars constituted a law making and a law obeying , a tax imposing and a tax paying class—a class with rights and a olass without rights ; two dis . tinct races , one _foraisg tbe white rulers and tho other the white subjects of _clavs-g 6 verEed soeiety .
Chartism conceives that co union could originally hava been formed or ought now to exist without all being eligible to elect or be elected as law-makers , because all hava a paramount interest and natural right in drawing up a constitution , and establishing a form of government . If tha opposite-Is right , then the habits and customs of early tribes are fables , the _recsrds and traditions of our country are unfounded ¦ and society without a constitution recognising tbe rights of all must ba a palace bome to the few , a prison purgatory to the many . Chartism conceives that the enactment of laws and tha imposition of _isx . _s must originally , and ought bow to bo made either personally in public meeting by all , or in Parliament through representatives chosen by tho free voices efthe majority of the people .
If you submit to aH _oppoilte principle , then the existence of an electoral class makes the will of the minority the law of the majority . Oppression becomes a right , obedience becomes a duty , and taxation a fine upon industry . It is then justifiable to make the poor support the government of the rich , and draw the supplies , not from thosewko have most , but from those who have least to give . Chartism conceives that as society did not apparently commence by makivig all profiu _.. common property , but
rather afforded opportunity and protection for each to _bene-rit by bis skill , industry , and perseverance , it was not designed that tbe successful should forget all duties , _BSd tbe _unsuccessful _los _. all rights . Os the other band it was ordained , thst the mora property a man acquired the more duties he owed to society for ths protection it gave him , and the more the poverty of a man the more claims he bad , In _oiher word ! _COOl-flon _sen _. O and interest imposed rates and taxes asjuBt fines upon exorbitant w _. alth and undue accumulation of property .
If such principles are wrong , then we may have ex . ce _. _sire wealth on the on . hand and equally _exlen _. iv _. poverty on the other . Tho rich may _rsfn _. e to have thoir surplus wealth taxed—rosy enjoy al ! r " g _* J- »_ rad perform no duties ; and throwing the social burdens on their less fortunate brethren , commit a tsx robbery of the most unjust character , and ruinous coasequ . Bces to tho middle and working classes . Chartism conceives tbat as labour is the only source of wealth 3 nd produce , one great aim of society ought te be to give it such encouragement , protection , aud remuatration _, that it may become more valuable in itself , and more fraitfal to all .
Purine an opposite coarse anil it becomes the passive tool of the _selfiib , the goose with tha golden eggs . Its claims to good wages may be deiiied . Its rights to selfdirection may ba disputed . Its demand for self-government refused . Bad dirictlon , evil _tfestment , _become the rules of tbe workshop , and competition , Idleness , and misery , the erder of the day , mitigated feebly by a partial organisation and almost inoperative Trades ' Uni . i . s , Chartism conceives that a tax upon the necessaries of life is an embargo npon industry as much ai a tax upon income is a _t-riff upon enterprise . Beth ought to bs abolished . If tbis is wrong then it becomes right to tax the man who is struggling to acquire property , aid un . tax the man who hss got it . Spending then becomes a merit , saving a loss , and both a benefit to government .
Chartism conceives tbat from all well direoted labour a surplus sbould remain over and above home consumption , asd that that surplus should be exported and ex . changed for the products and manufactures of other na . _tiona , thereby establishing the principle of selling only that which we could not consume , aud buying only that wb : cb we reall y required , If any otherprintlploiB adopted , thtn home wants may bs forgottea in supplying foreign ones Dora's tic necessity may yield to distant profit , and oar own people be strippednaked to clothe strangers . Tha hn 3 b _ . ndman may grow wheat whieh he is never to conium _., and the weaver produce shirts which _, be li never to wear . In other words the tree may be cut down to gather the apples , and millions be ruined hereafter merely to satisfy tha cravings ofa few for _is-didlate and exorbitant wealth .
Chartism conceives that as no two families agree alike oa religious subjects , every one should bs free to pursue and m-intaia its own form and tenets . If any other principle is adopted , then the Catholic hss r right to tax the Protestant , and the Protestant tbe Catholic ; and government may . lain , the In . spiration of power , and tax both to maintain a State church . Chartism also conceives that each family Has a tight to Instruct its members ia tha faith it baa adopted , and that from public free and national schools ail sectarianism should ba banished , and tbe children of all sects meet on common ground withont having tbeir minds biased from the _creefi ol their parents .
Any other course woald enable the -. hoolmBste _. ta displace _parontal authority , the government to usurp _dome _. tic _dutes , and Inflict irreparable injury to the rising intelligence of tbe age , because the formation of mind and character weuld be consigned to those who ara interested ia crippling tho one and _perrerting the other . We mast refer our readera to the pamphlet itself for the author ' - review of' Household _^ Suf-V- > ge , ' and his powerful refutations of the objections to the Charter urged by its enemies . Every Chartist council sbould consider it a duty to push the circulation of this well-timed , and ably-w ... ten vindication oi Chartism .
2.—This Denncciatien Ot Chartism Is, Acc...
2 . —This denncciatien ot Chartism is , according to the printer , tha production nf ' A Working Bee ;' bHt we strongly suspect that , in trn _^ h _, it is the prodnetioa of an idle drone , or a _stx _& ing slug . This pamphlet is another specimen of twopenny trash , i __ d th _& t , too , of the mo-t garbage-like kind . When we inform our readers that this drone or slug has the asnr __ . ee to talk tf * our mild and forbearing _go-T-Tnm . nt , * and ts assert that the taxes press least upon the working _elasi-s _, we have said enough to ehow the _esiabined knavery and . tupidity of this _precicus pamphleteer . Withont wasting space upon thia clumsy tool of tyranny , we will proceed at once to the nest oablieatioa in our list .
2.—Thu Is An Answer Ta The I-Jue Drone S...
2 . —ThU is an answer ta the _i-JUe drone s trash . We sre sorry we have not had an opportunity of earlier EOticins -. production , which does infinite credit to the _it-teiiijence and public spirit of the working men of Dartford . The authors of this pamphlet show that they po __ . e . s an _imtimate knowledge of the history of the _moreme-Jt for Radical Reform ; a perfect comprehension of the evils , political and soci-1 ofthe _preient ijBtem ; and iDtellectnal power more than enough to silence the buzzing of a hundred snch idle drones as the enemy they have so effectually -. 2 i = _w _ red and convicted of _igneranee and falsehood . The wide circulation of this _patnohlet in thRt awfully _b-nighted districts the -aunty of Kent , could cot fail to ba of great service in advancing the good course of truth and justice . We m 2 y add , tbat both the bane and antidote—the productions of the sham ' be ., ' and the real bses , may be had of Mr _Rseves , fwkkller , High-street , Dartford .
4.—The Chartists Of Rotherham Having Ann...
4 . —The Chartists of Rotherham having announced a political _meeting te be holden on s Sunday , wer _* met by an outburst of scurrility , in . the shape of s hand-bill , from the curate of Kotherham Church . The Reverend gentleman held forth in this wise ;—These Cbartists _ar _« practical Infidels . The _Freach profanity—the French lic _^ _ntisusnesi—tbe French injajti _. s and robbery—the French _Ksvolnlioas—the French blocd-hed of the list sixty yearn , teach us what traits . ach principle ! produce ia practice . _Let those tien who feave any love for their Country or their < i __ een _, « aj r _ 7 _ r _ n . _ for their God , any hops of _Heavea or any dread of Hell , let them set their fsces against Ths Ceubtt . _tb' Desecration of tbe S _ bb _ . tb . This reTerend libeller seems to be all uncon _. ciouof the great lesson of his master . 'It is lawful to do good on the Sabbath . ' He seems , too , to be blind to the great f « ct , that it is the treason cf himself , and neb as bim , to Christianity , which has made Sunday political meetings indispensable . Were the parsons the unswerving preachers and _assertors of the great priaciple , 'Do unto tby brother man a . thoa _wouldest he should do nnto tbee , ' Chartism—founded npon that 3 _ublime principle—would be in the asoen . ar _ t , and the crimes of tbe lich and the wrongs of the poor would be unknown . ' These parsons are _practical infidels . ' The 'letter' in answer o fhe curate ' s hand-bill , is a 6 ma * her for his reverence . His ' practical infidelity is admirably demonstrated . In this _cont-st the black _iltg has decidedly come off second bast , and we imagine will think twice before he again ventures upon a contest with his Chartist parishioner .. We trust that thU letter has been _* i _.. ly distributed .

3. The Contents Of This Pamphlet, Writte...
3 . The contents of this pamphlet , written by a native of Great Britain , but a resident in France , had been widel y circulated in Paris , when about two months ago , a translation was published by Mr Cooper , * the Chartist . ' ' This paper , ' fays Mr _Coopbr , ¦ is esteemed to be the consistent consequence of the policy pursued by tbe Provisional Government ; which it is presumed will not be negatived by the National Assembly . ' We presume tbat long before thia time , Mr Coopeb has discovered bis mistake . A viler erewof profitmongeringand labourplundering scoundrels , than the majority of the National Assembly , never gathered together to plot away the liberties and hopes of a people . This unhappy result of the victory of February , is no doubt largely owing to the ignorance of the mass of the rrench people ; bat much is also to be laid to the account of those modbb . _ ti . fools and villains who have headed the state since the overthrow of Louis Philippe . We know that Mr Cooper greatly admires Lamartine—to whose imbecility , must , to a great extent , be imputed the evils which have fallen upon tho Republic . Lamartine , largely imbued with _the-entiments of the _author of ' theorations against the taking away of human life under any ciroun > stance , ' made it his first business to release the aristocratic brigands from that terror which was necessary for the people ' s salvation ; yet within the last few days this same humanity-monger has directed a hideous massacre of the people—a wholesale slaughter of the men who made the revolution . True the victims had revolted againBt' the Republic' But who had driven them to revolt ? The miscreants whom Lamartine protected in February . Oh ! men of the _people , beware of' philan _« _threpists , ' beware of sentimentalising humbugs ; in a state of revolution look upon that man as your foulest enemy , who would indoctrinate yeu with the fatal poison of' moderation . ' At page o of this pamphlet the author says , ' Whatever may be the political constitution which we adopt , we must have eivil war if government attempts to maintain tke present system of industry . ' The government has declared it will maintain the present system even at the mouth of the cannon , and civil war has commenced . ' Thia pamphlet is well worthy the careful study of all true democrats . That the new industrial system _saggesfed , or any modification of it . will now be adopted in Franca cannot be hoped for , unless , indeed , a new revolution should give to a _seoend Babecp the authority of another Robkspierre .

Lieutenant Gale made hia fourth ascent from these Gardens on Monday evening , accompanied by Mr Van Buren and another gentleman , for the purpose of testing by experimental models the relative merits and defects of the p & _iaohates used by M . Ganneric , Mr Cocking , and Mr Hampton . At half-past seven o ' olock precisely the gallant Lieutenant gave the signal to loosen the ropes . Tho balloon rose in fine style , amid the loud cheers of the assembly . At _firat it took a north-easterly direction , but shortly afterwards proceeded in a direct easterly
line , when , in a few _minutea it was _loat to view , owing to the misty clouds When the balloon had reached a certain height , Lieutenant Gale eut the strings of the parachutes , in which three monkeys had been placed . That made after tho plan of Mr Cocking descended with great rapidity , exhibiting oscillations that confirmed the opinion of _acientific men that it was constructed on a bad principle . That after the plan of Gannerin descended more slowly and hoeled I-fl-, _praserving a tolerably upright attitude . That of Mr Hampton was obviously the beat it presorved a perfect perpendicular throughout the whole of the immense apace through which it descended , ana came down steadily anti without any dangerous rapidity . The monkeys descended in perfect Bafety .
Shortly after the ascent the audience were highly amused by the performances of M . _Siltani and troupe .

I 3 KKS . —Death op Omb op thb Victims . — In the village of War thill , about five milea northeast of _Yorlr , a most atrocious a-tempt at double _murderha-been perpofcrated . The unfortunate Yio tims of the brutal outrage wore a quiet , inoffensive , and respectable widow lady , named Newlove , upwards of seventy years of age , and her son , _Taoraaa Newlove , an unmarried man , between forty and fifty years of age . Jointly and separately I they were possessed of considerable property , and adopted the foolish plan of being tbeir own bankers , as muoh as £ 1500 being _kept i their miserable abode . They lived in a most penurious manner , eo much so aa to foliow the practice of seldom , if ever , retiring to rest
until their neighbours would be getting up : the strange object of their _etrange life being to watch their hoarded wealtha About eight o ' elook on Monday morning , a man who was in the habit of milking the cow and doing other little jobs for Mrs Newlove and her am , called at the house aa usual . The back-door was opened , and on enterin g a _passage loading to the front kitohen ho wai horrified on perteivceiving her lying on the ground , apparently dead , and a quantity of blood about her . The man immediately raised an alarm , when , upon the neighbours ass _embling , a _search waa made for the son , who _wsb found outside the house . His head was sadly beaten
in and blood was copiously flowing from tbe wounds . Medical aid being procured , the extant of their injuries was in some degree ascertained . An iron candlestick was found in the passage , whioh had evidently been used in the murderous affray . It waa covered with blood and hair , and was apparently bent by the force of the blows inflicted with it upon the heads of the poor creatures . Ona further examination , it was quite clear that thay had mide n vigorous _eff-rfc to escape from their murderous assailants , which the state of the passage confirmed , _dooJs of bloodB being visible in several parts . Mrs Newlove _inarme de » ree subsequently recovered her senses _.
and from what could be gleaned from her , the rut * _fians were three in number . They had contrived tc obtain an entrance into the honse by a , back window , and tho robbers , believing that the son had fled to the village to give an alarm , decamped without OD taining any of the hoards tbey coveted . The _pohC-, however , discovered _£ 1 , 300 , cbi . ny in notes , m different parts of the house , and £ 170 secreted in a _shavinir box .

H 4 R 0 I . D IN COUNCIL . ( From Sir E . B . _Lytton's . Harold , the Last ofthe Saxon Kings . ) All within tie Palaco of Westminster showed the confusion and dismay of the awful time;—all , at least , save the council chamber , in which Harold , who had arrived the night before , conferred with his Thegus . It was _evening : the courtyards and the balls were filled with armed men , and almost with every hour came rider and bode from the Sussex shore .. In the corridors the churchmen grouped and whispered , as they had whispered and grouped on tha day of King Edward ' s death . tt 9 * * In the council hall , debate waxed warm—which was the wiser , to meet William at once in the battlefield , or to delay till all the forces Harold might expect ( and which he had ordered to be levied in his rapid march from York ) could swell his host ?
• If we retire before the enemy , ' Baid Qurth , leaving him in a strange land , winter approaohing , his forage will fail . He will scarce dare to march upon London ; if he does , we shall be better prepared to encounter him . M y voice against re & ting all on a angle battle . ' Is that tby choice ? ' said Vebba indignantly . ' N . t so , I am sure , would bave chosen fhy father ; not bo the Saxons of Kent . The Norman is laying waste all the landB ef thy subjects , Lord Harold ; living on plunder , as a robber , in tho realms of King Alfred . Dost thou think that men will get better heart to fight for their country by hearing that their King shrinks from the danger V '
Thou speaketh well and wisely , ' said Haco , and all eyes turned to the young son of S _ireyn , as to one wha best knew the character of tbe hostile army , and the skill of its chief . ' We have now wiih us a force flushed with conquest over a _foa hitherto deeme _. invincible . Men who have conquered the Norwegian will not shrink from the Norman . Victory depends upon ardour more than nuriteera . Every hour of delay damps the ardour . Are we sure that it will swell the numbers ? What I dread most iB , not tho sword of the Norman Duke , it ia his craft . Rely upon it , that if we meet him not soon , he will march straight to London . He will proclaim by the way that he oomes not to seize the throne , but to punish Harold , and abide by the Witan , cr purchase by the
word of the Roman pontiff . The terror of his armament , unresisted , will spread like a panic through the land . Many will be decoyed by his false pretexts , many awed by a force that the king dare not meet . If he came in sight of the city , think you that merchants and cheapmen will not be daunted by the thought of pillage and sack ? They will be the first to capitulate at the first house which is fired . This oity is weak to guard against sirge ; its walls long neglected ; and in sieges the Normans are famous . Are we so united ( the king ' s rule thus fresh ) , but what no cabals , no dissensions will break out amongst ourselves ? If the Duke come , as come he will , in the name of the Church , may not the churchmen set up some new pretender to the Crown—perchance tho child Edgar ? And , divided amongst ourselves , how _ingloriously should we fall ! Besides , this land , though never before have the links between province
and province been drawn so _close , hath yet _demarcations that make the people selfish . The Northumbrians , I fear , will not stir to aid London , and Mercia will hold aloof from our peril . Grant that William once seize London , all England is broken up and dispirited ; each shire , nay , each town , looking only to itself . Talk of delay as wearing out tbe strength of the foe ! No ; it would wear out our own . Little enow , I fear , is yet left in our treasury . If William seize London , that treasury is his , with all tbe _wtffllth of our burgesses . How should we maintain an army except by preying on the people , and thus _discontenting them ? Where guard thst army ? Where are our forts ? Where our mountains ? The war of delay suits only a land of rock and defile , or oi castle and breastwork . _Thegus aad Warriors , ye have no castlea but your breasts of mail . Abandon these , and you are lost . '
A general murmur of applause closed the speech of Haco , which , while wise in arguments , our historians have overlooked , came home to that noblest reason of brave men which urges [ prompt resistance to foul invasion . Up , thou , rose King Harold— ' I thank you , fellow Englishmen , for that applause with which ye bave greeted mine own thoughts on the lip ef Haco . Shall it be said that your king wished to chase his own brother from the soil of outraged England , yet shrunk from the sword of the Norman stranger ? Well , indeed , might ray brave subjects desert my banner if it floated idly over these palace walls while tho armed invader pitched his camp in the heart of England . By delay , William ' s force , whatever it be , cannot grow less ; his cause grows more strong io our craven fears . What his armament may be , we
rightly know not ; the report varies with every messenger , awelliDg and leeaeniDg with the rumoura of every hour . Have we not around us now our most stalwart veterans—the flower of our armies—the most eager spirits—the vanquishers of Hardrada ? Thou _sayoth . Gurth , that all should not be perilled on a single battle . True . Harold should be pe . rilled , but wherefore England ? Grant that we win the day ; the quicker our despatch the greater our own fame , the more _huting that peace , at home and abroad , which reBt ever its best foundations on the seB-e of the power , which wrong cannot provoke , uncha 9 tised . Grant that We lose ; a loss can be madegain by a king ' s brave _^ death . Why should not our example rouse and unite all who survive us ? to
Which the nobler example , the one best fitted _^ protect our country—the recreant backs of living chief , or the glorious dead with their fronts to the foe ? ' Coe . 8 what may , life or death , at least We will thin the N orman numbers , and heap the barriers oi our oorpaes on the Norman maroh . At least we can show to the rest of England how men should defend their _nativa land ! . And if , as I believe and pray , in every En glish breast beats a heart like Harold a , what matters thoug h a king should fall 1 Freedom is _im" lie spoke ; and forth from hia baldric he drew his sword . Every blade , at _tnatsienal , leapt from the sheath ; and in that council hall , at least , in every breast beat the heart of Harold . number of

(From The Times.) Retirement Of Mr J. O'...
( From the Times . ) RETIREMENT OF MR J . O ' _CONNELI . FROM PUBLIC upB Dub-ih , June 21 —The Irish Confederation held si meeting at eight _o ' clock this evening in tha _Mubiq . hall , convened by _advertisement . Tho building waa densely and respectably filled in every part , mora than 3 , 000 _poraons being present . Shortly after eight o ' clock the chair was taken by Mr Denny Leyne ( Cork ) . The _Secretabv ( Mr Halpin ) read a letter from Mr
P . F . Meagher , excusing himself from attendance on account of illness , and stating that , should the New Repeal League ba established , he would pledge himaelf not to compromise its principles by the use of language calculated to create dissension or bring down a prosecution on any of it . own member-. At * j a I _? e time he w IBhed I * be distinctly understood , that outside the League he would continue to sta' _-e and enforce the opinion that the national wil could not prevail unless the people were armed : and being armed , were prepared to put an end to foreign rule . ( _Cheers ) °
Ninety . five members of the J 0 hn Mitchel Club . Clonmel , were admitted members ef the Confederation ; also seventeen members of the Hugh O'Neill Club , irom the same town ; twenty-six from Dublin : ninety two members of the _Catlow United Repeal Club formed within the last few days . Mr J . Dillon thea addressed tho meeting . He proceeded to lay before tho meeting an account ef the receipts and expenditure of the Irish Confederation , from the day it was founded to the 21 st day o £ the present month . The sum total of their receipts was £ 910 8 i . Id . £ 400 of this eura was paid in bj members of tho body , so that the country , at large contributed little mere than £ 500 . He would , there * fore , boldly _aak the meeting whether the _Confedera _. tion had not given tho country full value for thei
money ? ( Loud cheers . ) He might safely _aessrt tha for evory pound they had received the enemies o Ireland had been pnt to au expense of £ 1 , 600 . ( Cheera . ) The Confederation had made the Monarclof England feel somewhat insecure on her throne ; it had been mainly instrumental in driving the _BrU tiflh government to bring into parliament a bill to se .. cure more permanently the Crown and _Gsvornment of England ; and it had cost Lord Clarendon—( hisses )—not a few sleepless nights . He might also add , that it had planted in that country a principle of great value , namely , that every man in Ireland had a right to have a weapoi ? , and that wben a British Minister told the peopio of _Iro . ' acd that be would - " . Bis . thoir will by force , and rule this coun . ry'by foroe in tbeir despite , thoy bad a right to tell him
that he should not do so . ( Cheera . ) Besides tho regular fund of the Confederation , there wss another recently got Up for the purpose of defending M . s . rs O'Brien , Meagher , and Mitchel , in the late stato prosecutions , this fund amounted to £ 400 , of which , after the payment of all expenses , , £ 200 still remained in hand , He had then the pleasure of pro _« posing that £ 150 ef this balance bo added to the fund in eourao of beiog raised for th < _s wife and family of John Mitcbel . ( Deafening _apflause . ) The _remainder was reserved , in order that tbey Bhculd beenibled to contribute something to _support the infancy of tho New _Laague . ( Hear !) He then proceeded to state what had transpired at the recent conferences of Repealers . At one of the . ee inferences Mr J ? hn O'Connell was asked whether , in case the
League wa . formed , he would permit the members of the Confederation to call on the people to arm , and ho eaid he had no objection ; but at the subsequent conference h 9 stated that he could not abide by what he had formerly pledged himself to ; and that he now viewed with apprehension the movement that w _« s rapidly _progressing for the purpose of arming tha people —( _hisse 3 )— and that , should the _merobsrsof the League be _calhd on t > arm ha would feel it hU duty to protest against it ( Renewedhis . es . ) The member _, ofthe Repeal Association wbo were present afc that conference then and there protested most strongly _againatthe r ? tract . tion mad 9 bv Mr _O'ConceU . He ( Mr Dillon ) told Mr O'Connell that he had ro objection to the intrednctim of the subject of arming the people by him ( Mr O'Conneii ) , provided
he _onsented tbat he and his brother Confederates should be allowed to reply to him ; but at the last conference , whioh was held on tbe previous evening , Mr O'Cpnnell brousht down witla him a series ot r _> Eo ! utious that amounted in _sub-tanno to the old peace resolutions of Conciliation _nsll—fgrsans and _hisser _*)—and bt-iied tbat he could not consent to be a member of any association wbich would not placethose resolutions on its books , ( _HiftRcs ) Under these circumstance _^ , when Mr O'Connell made thia announcement , they told him that all understanding between hira , as an individual , aud the Confederation was at an end . ( 'Bear , hear , ' and 'Bravo , ' & o . ) He eould not discover the real causea of this _retractatirn on tbe _p-irt of Mr O'Connell , but that gentleman had himself a _& 3 igned as the reasons of his conduct a leading article in the last number of tha Nitioh . and a IfcUcr of Mr _S' _-nith O'Brien , in tha same number . There was ono _pawiga in the fatter
j that 6 eemed peculiarly _offeusive to him , whioh ran af follows : — ' All the principles for which the Confederates contended have in succession been conceded to us .
