      ADDRESS TO _BSITONS . BT GEO . _TWTDDSLL . Britftisl who have felt the _flsme "Which in all ages burns the same , In bosoms tyrants ne '» r can tame , Nor subject to their wills ! To yoa my muse doth now appeal , "Who'veiu jour breasts a heart to feel , "When tyrants do the common weal Perp lex with various Uls . * v 7 _ho" ' s he would shrink _fram Freedom ' * cania Wfien _tyrants do it sore oppose , Contamina ting all onr laws With ibameiul villainy ?

      The _wrc-tch who is a willing slave , "" U nworthy is e _'* n of a grave _"Witbin-tbe land he will not save From Itarefnl tyranny . _But those who battle for lhe right _. In _Freedsn ' s oft _unequal fight , Th . ir history fills us with delight , Their actions when we read . Then let us strive to emulate The actions of the truly great ; -And let us not for Freedom wait Til ! Dumber ' d with tho dead ! Sut let us do what good vre can To our oppressed fellow . _man ; Tor Uie It is but a short span—Thea let us use it well .

      And what can we much better do , _Th-n raise up those who ' re sunken low , _Vii'h much oppression , want , and woe , Which makes this earth a hell . Then let us raise the cheering cry , Hrv eiberating from tbe sky ; Tho iunt ra ! km ll of slaveryilojt halion _' d _Freedom ' s name Curs'J be the man who iove 3 to rule Above his brother ; and the fool TS * ho raesuly will become fie tool

      Of * _yrant » , curse the same . But bless and cheer , where e ' er hegoe * , The man who will abide the blows Which Tyranny upon its foes Deth always strive : o lay . Then Is ' -us lite brave Emhett die , Or kk- _! poor _Fi-sT in _izile lie : But ne'er succumb to _tyracny , Let come whatever may . Thon , Liberty ! sbalt never die !

      Whsn Slav ry ' s rei _. n is o er . Aad then the demon . War , shall cease To blast the olive-branch of Peace , And nations sunk as'low as Greece Be _greater thaa before-. And all mankind will then appear One common brotherhood s * dear , Xor country fetl of _ceesiry fear , When all the world is free . Then ev ' ry nation will rejoice—For _Freedom is tho wise man ' s choice ; And there will burst from ev ' ry voice Tea _watchword—LiuEETrl ' _Etosesley .

      The First Meetin*} Of The Protestant Rep...

      The first meetin _*} of the Protestant _Repeal- Association was most numerously and respectably attended . It was addressed by Mr Ferguson , or barrister , and a gentleman faTourably known in tha-literary world , as also by Mr Ireland , a barrister _^ in excellent s _*» _eches , and promises to become a powerful and influential body .. Several other arrests have been made in Dublin of persons who were _praeti & iDg drilling and _rifle-Ehonttng . The stealing of _ljao _^ frwn houses has become-very general in Cork—the thie _?» s _havine , it is _Bupposod , a ready sale fer it among parties who cast it into bullets . Tha recent arrests in Cork have jeopardised ! the safety of tho magistrate { Captain White ) who committed the riflemen for trial . Tho followi ng _naprative appears in the Co . _is-htuiion : —

      Atton _? the lst-er 3 left on Thursday , hy the lettercarrier , for _Cap'a ' . n Y 7 Mte , _Justles _' of thn P _^ _see , on tb © _delivery of the mid-day mail , was th _« following : — ' Cork , April 18 , lS-iS ' Tyrant Whits , —It seems yoa nr" , at the present crisis as _aabitionsfornetoristj as jou _strain _thtytmr of your shrievalty , when you entrapped the poor simpleton , tV _« aged R » ger Heffern _% n . But , villain , you have had e _Icog lima to _repent of your svll doings , and y « t have not—j * ur diys are numbered . Tou had a narrow escape soni time a _^ o , and ware anxiously _wsitf J for by thr * a _detfrmintd _msa , hut , fortunately fox job , a d ffeTrnt _* ay home sirred yeu _tkea .

      * Ton wiil haTe the hardihood to appear _figaln in hostility to ths peopl _* . _Beware ! _dtath has not _thaterrore for ths _ttrlchan down and oppressed people that It had _somets-eaty or thirty yfar _* pa < t , and itia not impossible thst poor _Soiffr ' s p _* _rsecu-if > nand death will beavtvgtd by shortly ridding the world of you , a tyrant and _ubreprnting villain . ' Thi * la no hoar—settle year temporal efjjlrs—the time is abort—tyra « ts _raaitbegot rid of—an accursed _gorernment cannot protect jou from th * people ' s wrath . If you are _looking for placo by your opposition to tha people , you will find it in the warmest corner of hell , for thither will the _paeple send yon . William _Hefte & wan Mitchell , ' Ona of » he Enowics of Tyranny . William Pre « ton White , Esq ., Patrick ' _s-hill , Cork . '

      "The letter is v . ritten in a cool mm and fhe history of Rorer _Ileffernan _rrany will _rexem' er . In 1802 Captain White was sheriff—in 1822 be received the commission of tbe peace for the county , with a request from governm _e nt that he would eive hi 3 assistance in the repression of vio ' ence and the restoration of order . In that year the Whiteboys were abroad in iar $ e _numhrra , and committed numberless atrocities , and _Hrff-Tnan , who kept a Bmall grocer ' s shop in the Sonth . Main street , was charged with supplying them , by sale , with _gunpowder and ball . Captain White , as a _rangHtrate _, paid a visit to the shop .

      Heffernan denied that there was any powder on the premise ? . A _search , however , proved that th _<> . denial was false , and all that was found Captain White removed . In the evening hs paid a _tec-nd visit , and caught HefFernan _sellirg hall and rowder to a number ef country people . Under Ileffernan ' a bed he found a harrel of powder , with a good supply of balls and flints . F > . r thi 3 offence Hcffernan was tried at a _special commission ( Baron _M'Cleland and Hr Justice Moore presiding ) , found s uiity and sen fenced to be hanged . The county , however , becoming peaceable , the sentence wa 3 _cammuted , snd Iltffernan was transported for life . "

      The movement in favour of Repeal by the Romish _bMwp and _clergy of the united _dioee _^ ef Waterford and LisKiors , isset forth as follows in the _Waibefobd _Chrsniclb of Saturday : — We caa stats upoa authority , th » t yesterday , at two o ' clotk , a meeting of our clergy wss held in the vestry of tht eathedral , where a stronj _addrtBi to _» be _Snvarcifn wai unanimously _adapted . It contained three principal points : —1 . It bore uncquirocal evidence of ths _leyalty of our cUrgy to the ptrson and _threna of the _Sovereixn . 2 . It reminded _HerHaj-sty efthe im _minent _ptril ia which her crown would soon b * _plkCtd if she eo » s not now listen to tha _vcica of the people ,

      justly indignant at the awful _wr-ngs they have _sustaina _^ . 3 . It _ssl-ranly _aisures Her Msj sty that nothing can atone for those _wroa ? a or satisfy the jd 9 t d « - m 3 n _< s » f . th _9 p ; _o"If _,-lut the _asssabling in Dublin ef the IrUh _L- _> rds and Cjmmoas . to legislate for this _insulud nation . Oh ! when will the _baae , tha bratallsed , the _bloody Wh gi , give ear to th _»» _e _Bf-asenable _warningB , and _desitt from the policy which places in j _' . opardy the _crowa of our beloved Qicen . and the lives of our till more beloved people ?

      _Sigss of Poverty . —Tbe consumption of _excise-» h ! e articles has not latterly improved in Dublin , which _si-enks ill for the condition ef the middle and _poorer classes . I a the article of sugar , for instance _, which should _cn'er so largely into consumption * t the present remarkably low prices , the total deliveries from the _custom house for the p _* st six weeks have _besn less than 900 hogsheads , while in the cirresponding period * of tke throe _previous years ther were respectively 1 , 556 . 1 . 5 S 6 . and 1 S 96 hogsheads showing a decline of 100 per cent , in the present as compared w * th the Dast year . Statk of the Countrt . —There are in the gaol of Limerick four hundred prisoners , notwithstanding the clearance it must hava had in commissions _, _assiz- ' , and quarter _sessions . Of tbese one hundred are under sentence of transportation for various periods .

      The RoDeal Association met on Monday . Mr James DelaV . ey . T . C , in the chair . _ TI e police were present takinj nn ' , snd some curiosity was felt as to the tone whieh the speakers would assume at this , the first meeting under the Crown and Government Act . The _sneeches were of the usual _ca'ibre . In the course _< -f the _meeting significant iudieatien _* were _ho-vever given that the days of the _O'Connells are ended as popular leaders . Rent £ 30 .

      The First Meetin*} Of The Protestant Rep...

      _considered him as no better than a traitor to Iri'h liberty , and the leader of a horde of cut-threats afid brigands . Mark the change at present . Tbis day Chartism Is hichly popular in Ireland , and English Chartists are recognised as warm _frienda of Irish _freedom , and the only _genuine advocates of liberty and social rtform in Orfat Britain ; an 1 M _^ O'Connor , he is this moment , next to Smith O'Brien , the most popular man in Ireland . There is not a doubt , of this . _Qe where you will and you bear bim spoken of dn the highest termsin every olub and at every mealing his _conduct is applauded—in every tap . room _aed at every convivial _gathering of tbe true-heartod he _.. is a toast , and hampers are emptied ta his success and prosperity . I knew this would como to pass , I said so ,. months ago . Timeand a little time , too—has verifiad my predictions .

      Another singular ' sign' is to be found in tbe movement making by thousands of Protestants and Presbyterians in ths right _direetlia . Ayv tens of thousands of _theao fine fellows ore now ready , to march afnr the green flap . I know this ta ba the fact . This I could prove . There is a good deal of tbo old Orange and no . Popery spirit still alive , ' no doubt , but tbe government may be quite assured thnt they can . no longer calculate on a ' Protestant garrieon' in Ireland . _Protestantis-n will not feed hungry _tradesman—Protestant _arcendiney is a poor substitute for food and raiment for wretched wives and howling children . Oh , gentlemen 1 Itis bow ' nogo , ' with you , Irish _Protestants aro no mere tho _spoontys of _by-gore days . They _wrtTno longer Btarvefor your convenience . Thej will havo 'Ireland for tho IriBh'of all _denominations ,, and when the day of trial comes you will cry for their aid in vain .

      The Protestant Repeal _meeting will ba held In Dublin at an _farly day . andprople lonk forward , anxiously , to the course wbich this Association means to adopt . In _Drogheda a _Prottstont Beppal' Association has been formed also , and that body _hi-lil an adjourned meetin ? on Inst Wednesdny . Tbe cbair wa » filled by Thomas Nortb , Esq ., ex-Meyor ( under the old corporation ) . A resolution , _call'ng for a _dora » ttc parliament , waa adopted by upwards of _200-protestant gentlemen and mechanics , whilst on ' _amendment admitting the _distresses of tho cauntry , but vapouting about Church and Constitution * _bb-i the glories of f ormer _aeoendancy , < fcc ., could reckon _onlyiforty supporters

      Tbe _Romsn Catholic clergy , too , are once moro awak _" . In _ccneral they deprecate wsr until put to the last _extremity of self _dsfence ; but are _resolved to put thtir shoulders ' to the monster ' wheel ' now so rapidly in motion . Ia some dioceses the bishops and priests have already met in conclave , and adopted addresses to the Queen , praying ' for a domestic parliament and other measures for the amelioration of _IrNh misery . They seem to _etcluw the notion of petitioning to parliarrunt any more , but will make one strong , earnest , and final app _* nl to htr _llsjesty .

      In some of the northern towns and _vMngf-s the rem . nsnts of the defunct Ornnpe lodges aro trying to ' stir up , ' but tho _afforts they make only render them mor _. e ridiculous , snd prove tbat , as an Iriah _pjwjx . Orange . Ism Is no more . Wherever the attempt at revivification has beon wade , the m"st signal failures have been the _results . Irish nationalists have no w little to apprehend from Irish Orangemen . They are an undone party , and _undoHQ for ever . The government , still is busy making defences _againit the _gathering storm . More bone , fcot , and artillery crowd Into our city . Every public office is a

      barrack . Dablin looks like one gigantic encampment . Itis said that the small dotachmeDts of military are to ho called in from tbe country towns , nnd concentrated in the principal citiea , as Limerick , Coik , "Water _, ford , _Gilrray . In tho country tbe ' rebels' will have notbini ; to fighifor , _thertfurn it is considered unwise to leave small parties of soldiers to furnish _targets for rebel _r-fl men , or rebel J pikes . This is certainly prudent ; but _vhat will they do with the polios scattered in parties of five or j ;> ovir tha conDtry ! or how will _tbiy protect the _Citbplic aad Protestant 'loyalists' in remoto situatiobs ! This is a _pascr . I would like to hear the reply .

      It is Baid , _tno , that tbe national schoolmasters nre to be armed by _govsrnment ; each man to ha supplied with a musktt , bay _.-mt , and ammunition ! This , 8 urdy ( niU 3 t be a hoax . There is not a wore anti . Snxon body of men in Ir _.-Hnd thin the _national schoolmasters . List Thursday niglita gr < at deal of _nlsrm prevailed In Dublin , arising from tm unusual ' turnout' of the _militnry in our streets . On that evening an oxtraor . _'i . _nsry meeting of the various Con _f ederate clubs was held in their respective cluh rooms , on business of more than usual importance . This was too much for thn ticklish Clarendon , The military were marched in Imposing numbers through the street * . The C _islle wis 1 oceupWd' by a large reinforcement of tbe 4 D h . whilst the Bank , the _College , tho _Post-offioo , nod Customhouse , were garrisoned by strong bo _< 5 i 68 of the 55 ch and 31 st Infantry . There was no ru 3 h on the Ci 3 tle , however . St _George ' s _banner floated 3 B usual in the _morningbreizi .

      The United Ikishhan goes on _gloriouMy . They ony itis ' making & fortune ' for its proprietors , I hope fo —may it do them good . They d «« erve well of Ireland , and it argues volumes f . _ir Iri « h spirit to seo the people so generously supporting the fearless advocate—tbe _ou' -sp _? kea herald of _free-fom ani nationality . On last Saturday tfee number of copies issued is said to have exceede _d 20 , 000 a _grca' proportion of which was for _England and Scotliwd , In Dublin they _nol _. l at a _shilling a copy .

      The Russell Family. One Of The Delegates...

      THE RUSSELL FAMILY . One of the delegates , In his epeech to tbe people at _Kennington Common on Hondfy , 'old them that Lord Wm . _Rassell , in the reign of Charles I ., _leit his _hv . ' ad in maintenance of the principles for which the . net tin '; of the day wa ? calhd to uphold . I am afraid tbo Lor ! W . Russell in question , hBd no such virtus or _patriolifm , ne we shall presently show .

Wben the Siu « rts after wards threatened the _Reformation by a restoration of Poptry , the Russo _' . b became alarmed for the fute of thtir ill-gotten possession " , and _eidsd with the Parlii meat , who were opposed to their design ? . But from the _graat number of cavaliors who flicked to the standard of tho

      King ; , his power was considered to ba much greater than any power whi _« h could be brought against him , and that eventually tho parliament would be _pvcrpawered . The _Eerlof Eedford became frightened , and atthe eleventh tieur went over to the king from the parliament . The king iadunantly repudiated his _smlcea , and when the earl returned to tho parliament he was sneered at , and with tho utmost derision and contempt was coadomned by tbem for his treachtty to their cau 3 _» _, aad so had fallen ths Birl of Bedford for his duplicity and treaclif ry to the king on the ona hind , nnd the peopio on lhe _oiWr , Thi * king was ultimately beaten by tha _pailismtnt , and lo _« t his head . Then came the Commonwealth ; _.-. _ftpr which _janie tbe _restorat'on of tha Stuarts , in tho perron ot

      Charles II ; The Tories _having intrigued with Geueral _Vfonk _, succeeded in gaining over tho army , and thus wa « accomplished the restoration cf the Stuarts , Chailes II . tried all bo conld for the restoration of Pop . ; ry ; and the _Russells , ia tbo person of L ' ird Wm Russell , tried all _ihcy could _ngainst it , in f _^ nr of ag'd . _i having their illgott > n booty brought into danger . In this struggle Loro Wm . Russell lo « t bis head .

      The Gagging Bill Made Law ! House Of Lor...

      THE GAGGING BILL MADE LAW ! HOUSE OF LORDS , _Saturday , Apbil 22 . Tbe bouse sat to-day shortly after two o ' clock for the purpose of giving the Royal Assent to the Crown and Government Security Bil , and various other bills . At twenty minutes _pa- < t two o ' clock the Lord Chancellor . Lord Campbell , the Earl of Shaftesbury , the Marquis of Lansdowne , and the _Matquisof Clanricauie , took their seats as Lords _Ciminiiasioners below the Throne , and gave the Royal _AssenV to the following bills : —The Exchequer Bills' Bill ,

      • THS CROWN AND GOVERNMENT SECURITY BILL , ' the _Mu-iny Bill , the Marine Mutiny Bil l , the Borough Police Suoerannuation Fund Bill , Pub'ic Works Completion ( Ireland ) Bill , Leases of Mines ( Ireland ) Bill , and Kettering Staall Tenements Bill . Their lordships , after disposing of other business , adjourned to Thursday , the 4 th of May . HOUSE OF COMMONS _.- — The _Spsakbs took tho chair at two o ' cloik Sir G Geet moved tbat the houso at Its rising id . iourti until Mnndiy . tbe 1 st of May .

      Mr M . J . O'Conneh did not wish to detain tbo _hoase , n » it was about to oilj'inrn for the holidays , but ho felt he should not " _leeharge his duty , if he did not offer a fow observations with _re _» piut to the _stafe oflreland , before the motion was ncrced to . He wished , in th < . _frrst place , to express his _reurot at a portion of the address of the noble lord on Jfonday . ( Hear , hear . ) He alluded to the statement he had _mntfo at th _» close of his speech , tbat whatever were his opinions with respect to the repeal of the union , he wan prepared to resist any proposition of tVat _kin'l by force . Hi * expression had been _thusmisterpreted in Ireland ; whereas what he ( Mr J . _O'Conn _. _vl ) understood him to say was thlf—that if h « were met by argmneat he sl . ould bo _prspured to enter

      into a discussion of the matter , but that if ferco were _resnrteel to he should _reslut it by force . In his opinion » re _» t injury ceuld not fall to result to all parties In Ireland if any attempt were made to carry thc repeal of the union , or any _othtr p _.-Hieal measure , by force of arms . ( Hear , hear . ) If th Irish people were insane enough to adopt violent measure * , there would be one thing far more cruel and _dissstrom than success—the p _' acing of the city iu tho hands of an armed , reckless , and undisciplined mob , ( H ' ar _, hcar . ) Snch a _proceeding every lover of humanity rau * t d . _plore . Still tbe _stute of the eountry was far from _fatis'actory , and ha could not help _declaring that the government bad not Introduced those

      measures f * r tho benefit of _Ireland , which , owing to their _conduct whilst in opposition , tho people of tbat country had a right to expect . They bad expected a poor law suitable f-r tbe country , but their expectations bad not beon realised , and the _reclfimation of wasto land " , ni-b other important measures- , had teen abandoned . The d fficulties which the _government stated they had to contend with wero of their own creating . The lion in their path was one of their own raising . The wants of Ireland at this moment wire rather more of a material than political _Bsture . Tba people ef Irelana wanted more employment rather than the extension of the franchise .

      TieUSHEa of the Black Rod thon appeared at the bar , and summoned the houie ta the Ilouse of Peers to hear tbo Royal Assent given , by commission , to several bills . Tho _FrBAKFit , accompanied by several honourable members , proceeded to the House of Lords , and having _returned , Mr M . J . O'CoNHitL proceded to state that he _bc-Hered , that , _notwithstanding the violent _lanpuiye hiI . _i by s-irne parties In Ireland , thciv was still a considerable fund of good feeling towards this country . Mr O ' Connor said : Had it notbpen for the wanton and uncalled-for acquiescence of the honourable member for Kerry ( Mr M . J . O'Connell ) in all the provisions ofthe WHIG TREASON Act , he should have confined his observations to thc merits of that

      enactment ; but as , in his opinion , the greatest of all cruelties was the punishment of the child for the evil teaching of the parent , and _visitina ; him with coercion for following what he had heen taught in infancy ; what had been instilled into him in youth , and had grown with his youth ; and , therefore , while the hon . member would now ascribe the enthusiasm , turbulence ? , and disloyalty of the Irish , to the _exciting speeches of those v . ho bad learnt their political creed from tbe great master who held their confidence , moulded tbeir minds , and swayed their doctrines , it may not , at such a crisis , a _; _-d after such a speech , be inappropriate or out of season , to remind the hon . member for Kerry who , as a pupil , sat ob

      the first form in the national school , of the teacher , his departed relative —( hear , hear)—and then the house would be able to judge of the source from whence the Irish people had imbibed their philosophy of sedition , and reliance upon phjsical forcef ns the ultimate means of achieving their country ' s liberty . ( Hear , hear . ) The lale Mr O'Connell , wbo was a lip professor of moral force , told the peaceable people of England to kt him have a petition signed bv 500 , 000 FIGHTING men , and to let the house know that thc . petitioners wera determined to finht

      and then their humble prayer would bo attended to . ( Hear , hear . ) Now , that was moral force wi h a vengeance . At the _mons'er meetings in 1843 , thn great advocate of moral force told the congregated millions tbat be bad at his command a larger amount of p hysical force than any living monarch- ( Hear , hear . ) Well , that was moral force , when it served the Whigs . ( Hear , hear . ) The great schoolmaster told his pliant dupes that his arm was yet young enough to wield the sword in the accomplishment of Irish nationality . ( Hear , hear . ) Again he swore , that he would rather see Ireland ' s streams rnnnimr

      blood , and her green fields crimsoned with Irish gore , than see her linger under the yoke of Irish despotism . ( Hear , hear . ) Now , that was the moral force teaching of the great master ; teaching tolerated by the Whig Minister—because experience taught him that it wouhl be turned to Whig account . ( Hear , hear . ) Well , the effect of these " speeches upon the susceptible mind of an oppressed ami insulted people , was well known to the government , because the hon . member for Liskeard . ( Mr C . Buller ) bad warned them that Ireland would remain in an incipient state of revolution during Mr O'Conucll ' s life , and would burst into open rebellion upon his death . Well , the government had this

      ample warning ; yet they made not thc slightest attempt to suppress this growing hostility , which they had fostered hy patronage , till now they would brand _aa felons the _pupils who had been thus instructed in the _arS of mural warfare . ( Hear , hear . ) Those at whore the TREASON ACT was aimed would be equally ehcrished if they were equally weacherous and falsa . So much for the moral force- training of the Irish mind , and now fer a word as to the discipline- *> f tbe English people . A n & Wc lord , in another place ( Lord Brougham ) , gave a legal' _construction of the Whi g Treason Act , bv which the proprietors , editors , and

      reporters of newspapers , who published the sedition spoken in that house , would ho subjected to transportation for life—( laughter )—but he ( Mr 0 * Couii _( ii ) invited any wan of common sense to peruse tbe answer of the journalist , which tipnsared in the _Tii'es of yesterday , ami hc would ssa from the _comiiii-nt that lhe law of t c journalist was more sound than that of the ex-Chancellor of England -, hut let the opinion of that noble lord , and his pine dtvotion to the throne , now be contrasted with bis opinion and devotion of former days .

      alty _sunk- _' _-below the freezing point , and he-denied the right of- her Majesty to have a choice in her own servants . ( Hear , hear . ) But to turn to the < nohle lord's opinion of physical force notions and his former notions of loyalty . That noble lord , . when canvassing the sweet voices of ths electors _of'fthe West Ridings of Yorkshire , and when fired bjt . the electrifying enthusiasm of the three GLORIOUS DAYS IN PARIS , told the assembled thousands of the loyal people of England that he hoped _< the day was not far distant when all kings' heads would roll in the gutter , and become _foot-balls for the amusement of hoys . ( Hear , hear . ) Now , that was the moral force teaching that the English aud

      Irish people reeaived from the dearest of Irish agi _* tators , and from-the keeper of the king ' s conscience . ( Hear , hear . ) i Tims he showed that there was sufficient warning , of- the coming time and the way they met famine , pestilence , disease , and death , for forty-eight long . y _< _-arj , was by martial law , coercion , suspension of the Habeas Corpus Ac , and all the other appliances-at the command of a _strongman insolent , and tyrannical government . Tbey rewarded the treasonable demagogues with patronage and the woolsack , when treason was a profitable commodity ; butnow that the pupils could KOt be seduced , they , were branded as felons . ( Hear ; hear . ) Of _allipatriotism , save him ( Mr O'Connor

      from the ardour of the paid patriot . (• Hear , hear , ) - from Mr M . I * _O'Sonnell . ) The hon . member for Kerry cheers -, but it applies to his relative , aa-it was his ( Ma . O'Connor ' s ) boast to say , tbat he never had and never , would receive a farthing far his services , publiti . Gr , private . ( Hear , hear . ) The paid patriot was , a juggler and common showman , who , whea _: he exhausted one set of puppets , replaced them with others to attract his gaping dupes . _^ _H-ear , hear ; , and cheers . ) He ( Mr O'Connor ) contended that bold speaking and violent speaking were as much an integral portion of the constitution as that house was . Now , in reference to allusions made to the English press and its

      raisrepresentation of Irish suffering and Irish violence , he wo dd give the-house a most striking instance . During the sittings before the recess , the servant one morning came into , bis ( Mr O'Connor ' s ) sitting room , at his hotel ,, and said that a gentleman was very anxious to see him for a moment . A relative of the noble lord the member for South Staffordshire was present , as honourable a gentleman as Jived . The stranger was shown up , and he would give not tho substantial but the literal conversation . He said : ' Sir , I am going to Ireland as commissioner for the morning paper , and I thought , perhaps , I might be of service to you . I am going to the disturbed districts . ' Well , ' said I , ' I suppose you wiil

      give correct reports , and I can take them from thut paper . ' ' No , sir , ' he replied , ' tbat would not do , as I should send them the version that would suit their readers , and you the version that would suit yours . ' ( Hear , hear . ) Now this lie was prepared to prove on tiie testimony of an honourable and high-minded gentleman , who at the time expressed his horror and disgust . ( Hear , hear . ) Well , those were the impressions under which that house legislated not only for Ireland but for England . He would now turn to the apologetic speech of the hon . member for Kerry on behalf of the noble lord John Russell . Construe tbat speech as the house would , it was a declaration of war against the Repeal of

      Union , and lis would prove it . Lord Althorp , when Chancellor of the Exchequer , declared that' if at any time a majority of the Irish people should desire a repeal of that measure , it would be the duty cf parliament to concede it . ' ( Hear , hear . ) Well then , bow now was that appeal to be met , either by transportation for life or by force of arms ; how , under the present reign of terror , could the voice of the majority be brought to bear upon that house after tbe warlike declaration of the noble lord ? He told the house that not a majority only , out that nine-tenths of the people of both countries would demand a Repeal of the Act of Union , whatever tbe resistance may be . ( Hear , hear . ) For bimiflf , he

      ever had been and he ever wouhl be opposed to physical force , because he felt convinced that an united moral struggle would compel any government to yield to the wishes of an overpowering majority . ( Hear , hear . ) He was opposed to physical force , because hc had ever found that the last shot of victory was followed b y the _substitution of one despotism for another . ( Hear , bear . ) Such had been tbe position of France in 1830 , and although he was as much opposed to the principles of Communism as any other man , he regretted to fird the French government attempting to suppress by terror what would fall before opinion . ( Hear , hear . ) Persecution ever winged the arrow of the persecuted , and men began to side with the oppressed ( hear , hear , ) without canvassing their opinions as calmly as they would if _judgment was

      allowed to take its course . He would a : ? ain _citii the instance of the noble lord ( Ueaucliamp ) , who was attempted to be hounded on against the Land Plan . ' No , ' said that nobleman , ' if it is bad Jet it burn itself out ; if it 13 good let it succeed ; but let it have s . fair trial . ( Hear , hear , and cheers . ) He would now call the attention of the house to the three leading propositions in the able , the eloquent , and statesmanlike speech of the hon . member for Buckinghamshire , on Wednesday last , on the subject of lhe invasion of a portion of the King of Denmark ' s territory by the King of Prussia , and he would invite the close attention of the house to the arguments contained in that speech , and the prudence of granting concessions to justice rather tban to fear . ( Hear , bear . ) The three propositions of the hon . member for Buckinghamshire were . ( Order , order . )

      Tbe Speaker said , the hon . member cannot refer to a former debate . Mr O'Connor : Oh ! then I will raise three propositions myself . ( Hear , and laughter . ) And they shall be as similar to those of tbe hon . member for Buckinghamshire as words and inemtjry can make them . ( Laughter . ) Tbe first is tbe fact of the King of Denmark , impelled by the moving genius of the age , having conceded a free _constitution to bis people , while the King of Prussia , who now so heroically inva' _-ed his dominions , was compelled to surrender to fear and force of arms what be had refused to justice . ( Hear , bear . ) The conclusion to be drawn from this fact is , that what governments

      anil monarch's tardil y grant is ungraciousl y received , and , coming too late , but whets tbe appetite for further rtform . The next proposition is , that it is improper for the noble lord , the Secretary for Foreign Affairs , to keep tbis honse and the country in a perfect state of ignorance as to hiB policy , until driven to premature action hc is compelled to make a hasty sppcal to a panic-stricken assembly . ( Hear , hear . ) Well , but see the exact parallel between the foreign and domestic policy of the government . Surely tbe voice of _discor-lent abroad has been sufficiently explicit to convince

      this bouse of Ibc dissatisfaclion out of doors , and yet tke press and government have kept this house is a state of perfect ignorance until panic was necessary to insure tbe aid of the affri ghted to suppress the voice of tbe discontented . The third proposition—namel y , England ' s obligation to observe the treaty of 1715 and 1720 as regards Denma )]' , that p oposition the noble lord ( Palmerston ) answered , as the ri _^ ht lion , gentleman , the member for the University of Cambridge bad reconciled the inequality in ihe Land Tax , by showing that two inequalities made an equality , just as the noble Urd bad stated that he would wait to he _? i- the . resolution of

      trance , who was a party to the treaty , thus establishing the principal that two violations _eonstitute an ac tof national faith . ( Hear , hear . ) This was the policy hy which England had been governed by the Whigs , but it was his- s ; Mr F . O'C _' _onaar ' s ) consolation to known , that sueh a union between lhe middle asd the working riasses was being formed as would _diive the Whigs- from office , _as-ds once mere reduce tbem to their proper dimensions ; and then , as the-ri ght hon . baronet ( Sir R . Peel ) had paid him ( Mr O'Connor ) the compliment of wishing that when the sovereign of his choice , was on the throne , _hi > woald bave the _cssfhlaiice of his sovereign _^ Great laughtei )—ho , in return , begged leave to assure the rig ht hon . baronet that bis best services should be used for bis _promotion to tlw c . fii . e of Prime Minister , as he was distinguished bv stability and

      ingenuity , tor those qualities which constituted ihe _fSiuiuial qualifications forthe- adv ' ser of his Satanic Majesty , ( _Gveatlaughter . ) lsercgrettcdthut ihe ri ;; ht him . lntroiiKt was not present to _rcciive this assurance of his ( Mi- _O'Connor ' s ) gaud intention , but _iho-riidu iion . lauvs-. etappeared tot " , _rgeUhathe ( M _^ _O'Cimuor ) once had stated if this hill passed , the ' Attorney-General would be Prime _Minku-r , while every one in tbat house was aware of the existence of an _imporhM official , called the Aiiorney-Gmera ? s J > _cvil . ( Great _laughter . ) Therefore , without any strange analrgy Uie . Altorncy-Gcner . il would rule the country , ami ihe Devil would rule the Attorney-General .
