My Dear Friends, A . Nain I Have To Cong...
My dear Friends , A . nain I have to congratulate you upon the flatter-- position we occupy , and it is cheering to think , that while the Irish juggle has reduced the luxurious staff of the Liberator to the same pitch of starvation an famine that they have brought upon the land , that that «* - COMICAL GENIUS" " HOTHEADED" " HAIR BRAISED" Feargus can noint to the steady march of the movement trom
vdiich he derives and desires no other benefit than that of deserving your thanks . At the same time T mu 8 t remind you of the folly into which _vonr own kindness would lead you , and _fye inevitable injury that it would entail upon onr cause . When I had made _£ 1350 profit for the Company , some districts generously voted ? hat I should appropriate it all io my own use , and others that I should reserve _£ 500 of the amount , vrhile * recently , yon have answered my appeal for po wer to augmenty our funds by the sale of estates , by
resolutions that I should receive £ 10 percent , upon the profits . "While this proposition convinced me of rour _generosity , it also convinced ine of yonr _shortsightedness , and I will show you why . Suppose that I had acquiesced in this arrangement , what a _handlf it would give to our enemies ; would not the press and the brawlers exclaim— "So then , after all , the land money is nothing more than a stockjobbing fund for Feargus O'Connor to make £ 10 per cent , by dabbling in the purchase of land ? " and more than that , let us consider what effect mv
consent to such an arrangement would have upon thc occupants . The value of the estate that I made money of would be acknowledged , but the value of the estate appropriated to the location of members would be disparaged by the supposition , that , if profit could be made out of it , it also would have been sold . 3 fow , I think that when the ' subject is placed before you iu this light you will see the propriety of my declining to accept any fee , favour , or reward , or gratuity of any sort , for my services , beyond ihe deli ght of making them available for the improvement of the working classes . I flatter
myself that the unimpeached and unimpeachable character that 1 have sustained through a whirlpool of changes is calculated to serve you , and therefore I will preserve it . The land movement is the greatest movement that ever the world witnessed , and can only be injured by my dishonesty or weakness , by the misapprop riaKon or _rais-application of yonr funds . The extent to which the plan is likely to go , makes many teeth water for patronage , but , as I will not exercise it for my own gain , I am resolved tbat others shall not . Manv schemes are now on foot to insure a
participation in that patronage , which it is supposed legitimately belongs to so extensive an undertaking , and so wealthy a body , hut I undertake to frustrate and defeat all . During the sitting of Conference at Birmingham , I shall endeavour to make myself a ? useful as possible in that Whig-ridden district , in the hope of once more reviving the Chartist spirit so _loagcrushedTbyifhe treachery of Whig place-hunters , and corporation officials . Tou would much oblige me by reading the splendid , well reasoned , philosophical and unanswerable articles in the Morning Chronicle in favour of the small-farm principle , and from them , as well as from the frightened
tone of all other Journals that have not the manl y courage to grapple with the master grievance , you will find the fulfilment of YOUR FOOL'S predictions . There are a great many other questions of grave importance to he submitted to the approaching Conference , besides those mentioned in the programme published in this week ' s Star , and to which , without offering a suggestion , I invite your serious attention , merel y asking you to send to that Conference a representation of your will rather than the stamp of individual spleen . Tour faithful friend and servant , Ieargcs O'Coxxor .
Ireland. Narrative Of Malcolm M'Gregolt....
IRELAND . _NARRATIVE OF MALCOLM _M'GREGOlt . SO . Y . jIy attendance at the ordinary , besides the _ao-usement it afforded , had the advantage of familiarising me with tbe voice and appearance of many of the actors in the legal f arce I witnessed upon the following day . Having heard so many conflicting versions of the mode of administering Irish justice ,
I wished , at some slig ht inconvenience , to secure a _sood place , and with that intention was up betimes and at my post before the doors of the Court-house were opened , a precaution which enabled me to have s ; -me conversation with stragglers , who , like myself , Lad taken time hy the forelock , and from whom I learnt the relative estimation in which the several attorneys were held . I was assured that Mr . Quill , oar worthy president , had the ear of the Court , and possessed an entire control over his Worship , a cir cumstance which very naturally made him an object of no small importance with litigants . At nine
o ' clock the Court began to fill , and shortly after his Worship took his seat . After a few cases of minor _iffi-iortaiice , for the most part consisting of _dispuies between small farmers and their labourers , in which the former were p laintiffs and the latter defendants , 5 ir . Grubb rose , and , with great defcr-nce and humility , applied to his Worship to call on the case of Scpieezctenant agaiust O'Donnell , which was a civil bill action brought by p laintiff to recover upon a promissory note given by defendant for £ 9 15 s . Mr . Gruhb urged the absolute necessity of the captain ' s presence as a magistrate and extensive landlord in his district , in those times when the discharge of Ids important duties in his double capacity
were essential , nay , indispensable , as a reason for making the application to his worship , and which was very stoutly hut ineffectually resisted by Mr . Buck , upon the grounds that bis client would be taken hy surprise if his case was called on out of tbe order in which it was customary to proceed with Sessions business , also stating that he believed his client had a good defence to the captain ' s action ; but that he ( Mr . Buck ) was not sufficiently instructed to enable him to do justice to his client . This very reasonable appeal , however , had no effect compared with the state ofthe captain ' s neig hbourhood , and the indispensable necessity of his presence asanextensivelandlordandACTlVE magistrate .
The action was brought to recover £ 9 15 s . upon a promissory note , and as the trial was short , I prefer giving the reader a literal rather than a garbled account of the proceedings . After the defendant had been called in the Court and outside , the case was opened , when James Catchpole ( of whose proficiency in the art of swearing the reader has already heard something ) mounted the table , and was sworn _, _^ hen he had crossed himself and kissed the book , le sat down , took a pair of old spectacles out of an old case ; and in reply to Mr . Gruhb , after a good ceat of rummaging in an old book , he declared that
he had served Phclim O'Dounell , junior , of Crieff , with a copy of the process , on the 3 rd of November . A promissory note was then put in Irs hand for * _£ 15 s ., given hy the _ssid Pheliiu O'Donnell to the captain , and to which he , James Catchpole , was the w itness . That wa 3 Fheliin O'Donnell ' s handwriting , and that was his ( witness ' s ) name and handwriting -, whereupon Mr . Gruhb demanded his Worship ' s decree for the amount and costs , and which was iBstanll y granted , and upon which the captain and n affidavit- ; _man made a -eery precipitate retreat _fr ° ni the court .
The next case had not proceeded far , when there _•^ a good deal of confusion in the body of the _fcwt _. _andlsaw a remarkably fine looking young
Ireland. Narrative Of Malcolm M'Gregolt....
man making his way to the attorney ' s bench where Mr . Buck sat , and , after the case was decided , Mr . Buck rose , and addresssing his worship , said , "Your worship , I beg your pardon , but this is really a very bard case , here is my client , Phelim O'Donnell , against whom his landlord , Captain Squeezetenant , has just obtained - a decree for £ 9 . 15 s . Od . and costs , and it appears that the amount was acknowledged as being paid to the Captain iu the presence of James Catchpole . "
" Yes , " added O'Donnell _. with great warmth , " he brought me in debt £ 9 . 15 s . On , lor some conditions that was in my lease , that the ould lord , God rest his soul , never required of me , and rather nor be up and down with him , I gave my note to pay it in sit months , and when I cleared it off with men and horses , and journies to Cork , and a fat pig , I went for it , and he said , that Mr . Gruhb there had it , but before James Catchpole he admitted full payment , and said , he'de send me the note , and sure it ' s often I called for it since and then I got a process for the amount , and now I hear its given agin me , but I'll die hefore I'll pav it a second time . "
His worship , who appeared very much confused , snatched at Phelim's concluding threat , stopping him and telling him " that he was inclined to hear what he had to say , but from his daring threat of resisting the law he must now leave him to his remedy , and ordered him to leave the court instantly , " and which he obeyed with bitter imprecations against sessions law and upstart sqnireens . I remained in court until a few more cases of a similar nature were similarly decided , and left in disgust to prosecute my journey to the Rev . Mr . O ' Farrell ' s , who I was now more than ever anxious to see , in the hone of receiving some solution of the effect of tbis mode of administering justice , which , in my judgment , constituted an important ingredient
in the formation of the Irish character . On leaving the court house , not far from the entrance , I saw a group of peasants in anxious consultation , who appeared to listen attentively to a young man who stood inthe middle ofthe crowd , and who , from his tone , attitude , and action , appeared to be much excited , aud whom , upon a closer view , ! recognized as the defendant , Phelim O'Donnell . Upon my nearing the group and halting , all but the orator searched me with a glance , that was withering aud indescribable , while he , nothing daunted , continued to proclaim his innocence of the debt , and to declaim against the tyranny of his landlord and the injustice of the law . The reader may well imagine that the case of this vounff man was calculated to
inspire the inquisitive stranger with no little interest , and remembering that ray friend , Capt . Burford , bad informed me that Capt . Squeezetenant was a neighbour of the Rev . Mr . O'Farrell ' s , and thinking it probable that O'Donnell , being a tenant of the Captain , was likely to he a parishioner of his reverence , I put on a bold face , and walking towards the implacable orator , inquired if he could direct me to
the house of the Rev . Mr . O Farrell , to whom i was going on a visit . The moment I concluded the sentence the withering scowl was , as if by magic , changed into the heartiest smile of welcome , when O Donnell , who appeared to be calmed by the mere mention of the priest ' s name , replied , " yes , your honour , I live hard by his reverence , God bless him , but the coach tbat would take you handiest is gone for to dav .
" « ell , but / ' said I , " if I can procure a guide I mean to walk , " whereupon the audience responded in chorus , " whislia , Phelim , sure as the gentleman is a stranger vou can show him the short cut across the mountain , but , your honor , " addressing me , "its a long road , aud but it'll be dark before you get there . " " No , " rejoined Phelim , " sure I have a horse , and his honor can "ride and I'll walk . " I assured my friend that walking was my usual mode of travelling , observing that " as my luggage was light , perhaps he could procure a neighbour to carrv it . "
" O , as for the matter of that . " said Phelim , " if it wont take any hurt I'll take it before me on the baist . " This arrangement suiting remarkably well , I proceeded to my inn , settled with " mine host , " my companion tied my hag upon the saddle , as he insisted upon walking with me , and , thus accompanied and accommodated , I proceeded en route . Here , thought I to myself , is a picture , here is a spleudid peasant roused to madness by the injustice of his natural protector , yet won to kindness , confidence , and hospitality to a perfect stranger , by the mere mention of his pastor ' s name . Surely , said I ,
there must be something in such a picture _welj worthy the attention and study of those who still hope to preserve the blig hting influence which must in a great measure he a cause of this strong affection , and which , if not cherished to good , must one day burst in dreadful vengeance upon the heads of those who foolishly hope to subdue national will , and curb national enthusiasm , by the sword ; surely , said I , this injustice must one day have an end , or the days of Saxon dominion are numbered . Courtesy to my companion forbade the further indulgence in this soliloquy , and turning to Phelim I said , "Sow , O'Donnell , had you really paid the debt for which vou were sued . "
" Paid it , is it , " he asked hastily , " and does your honour think I'd come again the Captain , and before a court of justice , to damn my sowl for £ 9 15 s , or for all the money he has in the world . I'll engage then , but I paid it twice over , ' and sure but here ' s the proof , " producing a piece of paper upon which an account of labour , g iven in men and horses , and for joarneys and a fat pig , wassetdown , amountingto £ ll 13 s . 5 d ., at 2 s . fid . a day for a man and horse , and sixpence a day for a man , and 8 d . a hundred weig ht for taking corn to Cork , a distance of over forty miles ,
" And there , " said he , pointing to the foot of the paper , " is Jim Catchpole ' s name , the Captain ' s bailiff , acknowledg ing tbe work to be done ; but sure , " he observed , '' he'de hang a priest , the lord save US ! for a hog ( a shilling . ) Why , indeed , your honour , " he continued , " but he and the Captain is ruining the parish between them . " " How is that , " said I ? "Why , I'll tell you , " continued Phelim . " These is very hard times with the poor ; the praties has all failed , and p igs is scarce since last year ' s failure , and thev lias nothing but the wheat and oats to make
up the rent , and pay all charges and labour , and live upon , and buthe ' s pushing them for the deadhalf-year , that the ould lord , God rest his sowl , used to lave on alwavs without asking for it , and he ' s putting that to " the Michaelmas Gale due the other day and as they can ' t thresh fast enoug h to satisfy him , he s canting them ( selling by auction ) , and buying ali the crops in the straw ; and but he has a score of horses drawing it home every day , scores of men threshing , and he sends it off to Cork to sell , and but he ' s coining like gould , and taking all the straw that should go for manure , and canting cattle
and all . " « Well , hut , " said I , " surely that must fall upon himself in the end , for his land will become' _impoveriuhed ?
Ireland. Narrative Of Malcolm M'Gregolt....
" Impoverished is it , " retorted Phelim , " what the devil does be care as long as be can get the rent ; and , but I'll engage he and Gruhb will screw it out somehow , and then you see there ' s so many always wanting farms for tbeir stock , and before they'de waste what little they has ; indeed , there ' s ten bidding for every spot that ' s to let , and sure every one thinks himself cunninger nor the other , but be my word , the Captain and Gruhb outlaws them after all , and sure between them they screws every fraction of ready money the poor devils has , before they lets ' em bave a sod of ground . Why sure , there ' s Grubb , that only come to Skibbereen without
a halfpenny about five years ago , aud now 111 engage but he keeps his inside jaunting car and horses , and sarvants , and be my word , if he ' s not foully belied , hut they say ' s he ' s getting a hould of the writings of many of the gentlemen ; and but be sure he'll squeeze them one of these fine days , and the devil ' s good cure to them for they squeezes the poor when they can , and I'll engage but it 'ill be pull baker pull devil between them and Grubb , and sure its the poor il suffer and have to pay all . " i "How is that , " said I ? " Wh y , when they beg ins , to clamper , its to the land that Grubb 'il look , and they'll let bim pulawav as mneh as he likes at the tenants . "
" Well , " I observed , " was the old lord a better landlord . " " Better is it , o then wide is the differ ; I'll engage he never drove a tenant , but when he could ' nt pay he'de let him take his stock , and go about his business . " We passed through a very J owly country , adorned with some fine mansions alongside the Bandon river _, the time whiled away by such observations as I have mentioned ; my companion informing me all about the proprietors of the several domains , and narrating , I presume correctly—as the Irish are remarkable for the correctness of their oral
traditionthe means by which the several invaders ( as lie termed them from Lord Bandon to the lowest , had obtained their estates . At dusk we arrived at the foot of of a very high mountain , when Phelim turning to ine , said , with a smile , pointing to a snug secluded spot at a short distance , " There now , your honour , there ' s my cabin , and we have five miles over the hill to get to Father O'Farrell ' s yet , and if your honour would make so free with the likes of me , but I bore you'll not think me too bould for axing you to come and eat something , and rest a bit , while I lave the mare at home , as we can go shorter on foot , and I'll carry the bag , aud your honour will be heartily welcome .
" O'Donnell , " I replied , " you are a fine goodnatured fellow , and so far from considering it any condescension to visit your house , I cheerfully accept your invitation , and shall g ladl y partake of your hospitality . " Thank your honour , " said Phclim , opening a gate that appeared to be the entrance to his hut , and _through which we had scarcely passed when a female , who stood in the doorway of the house , rushed towards us , asking , " is that Phelim , " and , " well , did you get the better of them . " " How is my mother ? " said Phelim , before he answered the previous question . " O better , thank God , she slept till a ago , anil _tonk a drink . "
" That ' s well , " returned Phelim , adding , " Kathleen , they cast me before I got to the court , but don ' t tell my mother—here ' s a gentleman that ' s a friend of Father O'Farrell ' s , and he'll eat a bit before we start , and while I put up the mare you'll have time to get supper . " " O then he ' s welcome , " said _Kathleen , ' won ' t your honour walk in and take an air of the fire , its a could nig ht , and I suppose you ' r after a leng journev . "
I thanked her , and was shown into a room which appeared to serve the purpose of a kitchen and parlour , and , to my great deli ght , saw what the Irish call a rousing fire of turf upon the hearth . The first object to which I naturally directed my attention was my hostess , a ' g irl about nineteen years of age , and without exception the most lovely creature 1 ever beheld ; she was above the middle size , of splendid shape and form , with auburn hair hangin g over her shoulders , a pair of large soft blue eyes , lovely complexion , a nose that may defy tbe statuary to imitate , a set of pearly white teeth , and lips that
seemed to speak of bashful love . I confess that I felt so much struck by the ' tout ensemble' of this mountain goddess , that I was not aware of the presence of any other mortal , till pointing to the chimney corner , where an aged person with white flowing locks sat , she said , " Father , this is a friend of Father O'Farrell ' s . " " Is he , " answered a tall figure rising from his bench , " then he ' s welcome to my house—Kathleen get down the flitch , and get some eggs , and the praties is boiled for Phelim ' s supper and make Father O'Farrell ' s friend welcome . " Young O Donnell having quickly disposed of the
mare , rushed into the house just as the old man had ordered supper , and without noticing any one went into a room off the kitchen , and where , as I subsequently learned , his mother was confined to her bed with rheumatic pains in her head and limbs . Here shall break off for the present , merely observing , that O'Donnell ' s history of his family , and his narrative of Irish transactions , interested me so much , that it was ten o ' clock before I thought of the remainder of my journey , and when 1 reminded Phelim of his promise to escort me , my resolution to
proceed was overcome by Kathleen s assurance that it was a very wet night , and that she had made me a very comfortable bed , if my honour could put up with it for one night , adding , that his reverence would be in bed before me , as may be he didn ' t expect me ; and truth to say I required but little persuasion to accept the invitation of so fair a hostess . In my next I shall narrate O'Donnell ' s history of his family , and their times , confessing myself just now too much under the influence of Kathleen ' s eyes to think of aught but love and her .

He brought forward this motion for the purpose of calling the attention of the country to it ; appeals had been made more than once , but the country had not responded to them . Mr . Nobbs seconded the motion , and regretted that we had not a Chartut Pension Society . Messrs . T . Salmon , R . Fuzzon _. _and Mr .

From . ) "lie ( Lord Besborough ) said , that if the _governmen wished to . conciliate Ireland , and to promote her pros perlty , all the patronage of the country should be placed > n the bands of Daniel . O'Connell . . * ¦* * vis such a man to be obstructed in his views ? Certainly not . * * Were I offered a place to-morrow , I would certainly ac c oi . it . "—Speeehof the Lord _ifayor , inthe chair , in Cmi ciltation Hall . I We arc well aware that in expressing our astonishment at the audacity of such avowals aa that which we have placed at the head of this article , wcseriously peril our character tor ' common sense , " and " practical sagacity ' —the more modern modes of _deactibin- _** trieker / and hypocrisy . But , protesting agaiust tlio supposition that we mean to insist upon that old-fashioned thing called political honesty , ( a folly , to ba committed only , by yeutl / fu ! enthusiasts , ) we ' cannot help _confessing that it does as yet appear to us _» omeivhat strange- not : to say revolting , that men shonld be found , _noS of -. very-. mean- condition , who , openly avow their readiness to betray the _nrinciple _-.-vhicli they have solertffy pledged themselves . , to . uphold ; and to sell _tbemsclvcs'So-the enemies of that cause to \
yllichthey have sworn to prove true . " ¦ .. _*« . - T » o years since , when these men assembled ;! in green uniforms , at file Rotunda , andyin the presence ofa people who looked on them with gladness and with boundless hope-, entered into solemn compact with the country and * each other that they should never relax in their pu _^ oit of national independence , what prophet of evil would bave _dacfed to stand up and say , in the face _- of that _a-sembly , that in two short ; yeara from thai : ' day . thaifcompact would be shamefully Erroken—that _ofr' _^ bosevfho vowed the pa triot ' s vow , some would be receivingi at the hands of the foreign government , the wages of _corruption—whila others , after much silent endurance , would be _driven at lengtls to tlie sad duty of revealing the _treasdn of their allies to the world ? Yet these , things hade- assuredly come to pass . . . / We will be told , of cour . _* _-e , _that there is no foundation for this assertion—that tile treason is . imaginary , —that the charge is an emanation of _vindictiveness and malignity .- We know the-responsibility which _.
rests upon hfm who makes so grave a charge . Tha accused will have ample opportunity ' fo vindicate themselves ; and if they can do- this to the _sa-isf _' actiori oftlie public , then let ourplace henceforth ba * amongst those reptiles who calumniate the innocent , and poison the public ear with _mnfisnant lies . It is a _startlini ; _tiling to say , but stern duty bids unto say it plainly and without _di-gaise , ifaatthe interests , the hopes , and the honour of the country have been deliberately bartered for a share or a monopoly in the distribution of government patronage . It is a sad sentence to have to write , and we have written it with a grieved and reluctant heart . The little enmities ofthe hour will be forgotten in a few years ; _frl-ndly time will cancel much that is to « _triflin- ; to be remembered ; but . this * , whole transaction will leave a brand upon a name which all—none more than we—wond desire to see pass into history without such a stain .
Of- tne facts which have coerced ourassent to the truth of this sad conclusion , some have been so communicated to us that we cannot make them public without a breach of honour . Others are notorious , and we will state them here . The first fact is this , that Mr . 0 _'CTonst . i . l is , a 3 far as patronage is concerned , de facte- Lord Lieutenant of Ireland . There is _seai-rely a place between that of policeman and Lord Chancellor for which some candidate is not selected from the nicely-graduated mass of his dependents . The _unhandy npp ' _. icants who are not upon his list , however _hifih may ! _ie their Qualification , however strong their interest , aremetwith the stereotypedconcl _tuive answer ,
O'Cox-Niai . has a candidate for this ofhco _, and O Coxneli ; must not be refused . Appointments actually made have been cancelled at his dictation ; and men to whom the leading membeis ofthe Government have been individually pledged ' ,, whose claim the Government and the public would unite in recognising , have heun set aside f _«» r persons who have no- claim , no character , no recommendation , but his favor and support . Of his _protegees , some are _non-Rcpe _.-ilers , reaping thc price of Repeal ; others are _Rrpealcrs who , like _: he Irish _members and agitators for whom Mr . O'Connell obtained p lace on his former abandonm- nfe of the question , will never lift their voices in public ;
again . The Government then are _discharging their portion of the compact . Let us sec what has been done on thc other side . The first blow in the memorable battle of the "forces" was struck by Lord ' Jons Ru = SKi , L wbrn he declared in the House of Common s that th- Repeal party in Ireland might be divided into two _classes ; one of which sought their object by appealing to public opinion , while tbe other contemplated a resource to arms . Here is the first insertion ofthe wedgethe first faint _shadowinsr of that " line of denim-cation" which was soon afterwards drawn with fatal effect .
'The Whig Government succeed to ofhee . Diing _: _irv . in become . ** vacant . _Tu-ocandidatG _* - present themselves forthwith to Mr . O'Gosxkll , offering to stand for Dungarvan on Repeal principles . Their sidvn- _eeg are repelled , and they are _si-encod-in some * wav which neither we nor the public know . Mr O'CoN . _'f' _-iJ _* . comes to Dublin . Sitting in his chair in Conciliation ria . II , in the hearing of several ge tlemcn , he announce- ** what he ealled the plea-ing _intelli-iei _^ _-e , that _Euwaiid _Clxmknts had got , or was promised , an ap . pointnieut . and that it was owing to _¦* ' the _unsolicited kindness of Richard Lalor Slieil . ** These
words made a deep impression—they are not _frrsrotten . Mr . O'CoxxEurefers ' the question of thc Dungarvan election to the Cummittce , and proceeds next dav to canvass Dun ialk ( n' -t then _vncant ) fi-. r his son . Four days are allow , d to pas ! " before the _enm-i' _-itUe would be suffered to meet , ami then , the Dun gar van election takes him b y _surprise . There is voiitiveiy no time to prepare ; inhere were , " success would lie certain "—so said Mr . _O'Coxnell ' s- _renm't . Mr . Siikil is returned wjtlsuut opposition . There was no time to oppose him . But there wns _quito time en-ughto complete "thc line of demarcation between Yonncr . ind Old Troland "
It is less notorious , but . we believe , not le- * * - certain , that it was arranged between Mr O'Covskli _* _. and tbe Government ' that the _SuSicitor-G _^ iier _.-il should be returned fur _Dttndalk without opposition . It is said that Mr . _Monaiias proceeded to that town on the faith of this ' arrangement . Indeed it . is hardl y possible , on any other _supp--sitioR , to explain his precipitate retreat on finding Mr . D . O'Coxxei . l , jun ., in the field _befn- _'f him . Why _thci-irraiiEcmciit wns not fulfilled , and Duiidaik knocked down in th' _-samo lot with Dungarvan , stiil remains a State _i-i-cret . Possibly the electors of that borough were rounded , and were found tn have a leaning towards " _physical force or infidelity . " More probably , tiie practised eye of one who was a party to that arrangement saw in the distance the signs of _thi ? rising storm , which _, has since burst upon the _lit-ads of the _as-oui-dii'd confederates , and which now fills them with perplexity and _dismay _.
We pass over the minor incidents of this disgusting history , and come to the melancholy conclusion ; O'CossBLi . is omnipoten _* . in Dublin Castle—the Repeal agitation is virtually extinct on _Bai-gliquay . . The weekly avocations of patriotism now consist of laudations of a Government , before whose _stniid faces the people are expiring of starvation , _iiiternatinsr with slanders i'ii Young Ind and , and _windi _!*;* up , perhaps * , with a faint and sickly hurrah for ilepe . il . Tlie echoes cf Conciliation Hall are no _linger awakened by thc voice of genius , liberty , and truth .
The days ar « mine—days of hupcfulness and wide ! —when the 0 'Bi ; i _>* . n . _- * , the _Gsattas . _** , ihe O'Looui . k *< _-. _- , met _wl'liiu its wal ' s , to t ;> Ue _roundel i' , _* r 'tho _librration ofa _connMing country .
