" War is to trade -what the hot bed is to the plant : it forces it , bat strengthens it sot in its growth ; while peace is as the jnrre air from heaven , which forces it sot , bat strengthens it till it arrives at a wholesome maturity . "—Speech o / Fearyus O'Connor . " War ia a game that were their subjects wise , Kings would not play at . "
TO THE PEOPLE . Mi i > kab Fbiehds , —It is the practice cf Newspiper tmten to watch the progress of events before they venture to give any decided opinion to the public They -write in a kind of semi-prophetic gejci-anticipatory , semi-approving , and semi-condemning strain . On the other hand , I hare , at all time 3 taken , the more manly eonrse of placing jay own sentiments npon record on all great questions , rather than allow myself to be guided by factions or sectional opinions , which , in general , emanate from selfish feelings .
The question of war , then , being the one which jiow appears uppermost in the minds of Journalists , I am going to write upon it ; and no doubt you will expect to find the " physical force , destrueifre ^ lond in his support of the war party ; and , ihereforci jon must prepare your minds for disappointment : for I must state in the outset that I am opposed to war in eTery shape . The immediate
casvs belli , or tause of war with "which we are now threatened , is the very proper chastisement of one Pritchard by some Prench officials for an attempt oe his part to get up an intrigue on behalf of his employers to circnmTeDt thfl policy of Lonis Philippe in Tahiti ; and ihe Tery proper chastisement , nay , the Tery mild correction of this meddler , is considered a national insult , quite sufficient to Justify a * bloody war . "
Perhaps there ia no subject on which the frensied imagination of man can be more highly worked np than on that of war ; and hence the great necessity of national caution- No doubt can exist in the mind of any man that war just now would be a godsend to many princes whose thrones are tottering under them . The new -news created during twenty-nine yexr . 3 of European tranquilly , and the great progress made "by the national mind , renders it difficult for those who hold their sceptres by force of arms to uphold their sway by force of reason . And hence a war jnst now wonld be a great godsend to many crowned heads . Until Tery lately , the right ¦ dmne of Eiies to reign and rule , " wa 3 held
Indisputable by a great majority of the people ; bnt through a long continuance of peace that delusion has , thank < 5 od 3 Tsnished , Some people Tery foolishly suppose that England is bound oTer in the heavy recognizance t > f £ 800000 , 030 to keep the peace . The sentiment was a Sight of Lord Brougham's imagination ; but never -was there a more ridiculous one propounded The fact is , that there is no country on the face of the earth so capable of maintaining war as England 13 , and for . tha Tery reason ; because the-properties of those "who vote the supplies would be enhanced by a war , while ihe industry of those who hare no Toice in the question , would be mortgaged for repayment of the cost .
I haTe always most doggedly and scrupulously refused to form any alliance with any section of foreigners for political purposes , jwhile I haTe diligently pointed ont the master grievance of eTery nation , aHowtag each to apply its own n&uonalmlnd for the attainment of the great corrective—skt . t-¦ gotebsilest . WhereTer thi 3 principle has been departed from , disaster has inTsriably followed . In the early days of Ireland ' s history the natives invited "English mediation a 3 a means of settling their disputes ; and by degrees the inTited arbitrators so managed as to possess themselves of the bone of contention . I shall erar think that the Irish Executnre of 1798 committed a fatal blunder
when they songht the co-operation of the French Directory in their contest against the English Oligarchy . Arbitrating nations generally assume the position of assignees to a bankrupt estate . They swallow up all , while the creditora are allowed to starve , Now I mention these circumstances to meet iwo points ; firstly , I know that the English people are in the habit of faying that as their condition could not be worse under a foreign power than under domestic tyranny , therefore-they wonld hail the arms ! of an invading force on their shores ; and , secondly , because the Siecle , a Trench , ne spaper , building upon thi 3 anti-national ferrour , reminds England , as a threat , thai times haTe altered since the establishment of steam-boats
and that bow in the eTent of a war Prance could land her arms and men upon the British coast unobserved . If , however , the tyranny and persecution to which I have been subjected for the last niae years had been a hundred fold greater than it has ; and if the threatened inTasion should take place , I would be found amongst the foremost to repel the intruders KeQ knowing that the aim and end of a licensed soldiery under a profligate monarch , would not be the annlhlla , iion of that power and those grieTances
of which the English people complain , but the substitution of foreign power , and perhaps grieranees , against which we should be less capable of contending . My opinion is , that the improved mind of this country is fully capable of fighting the battle against ancient prejudices and the ™ wreck of old opinions . " I haTe been frequently astounded by the means proposed for accomplishing justice to Ireland . I haTe I > een astonished , as eTery man of proper feeling Ernst be , at the hope held out that in the eTent of justice being' done , England may calcnlate on manning her savy , and recruiting her army from ihe ranks of the Irish people .
^ In my mind nothing can justify the belief that l £ it man has received justice , whose only reward is his country ' s sanction to hire himself to be shot at for a shilling a ^ ay , wholly regardless of any other consideration than obedience to his Enperior ' s « om-Eands . The Times ^ of this morning confidently assures ite readers that the nniversal feeling of the English people i 3 , that reparation must be made to ihe English nation ; that is , I presume , to the English oficials , for the national insult offered to an English "spy , " who was detected in forwarding the intrigues of hi 3 masters ; and this , forsooth , is snStient provocation to set nations by the ears , to
cause oceans of blood to flow , and to saddle generations of industrious people yet to come with an additional debt of millions upon millions . ! II j dear friends , the time of war is the mind ' s i Eight , and the heyday of saTage passions and cold- \ blooded intriguer A passing gleam of prosperity M"S the most active minds to rest , and allows licentiousness its unfettered and unbounded sway . The ; statute-book , amid the din of arms , becomes loaded ; With oppressive enactments which the peaceful ¦ Eemns of aan trould haTe resisted ; and when peace i is jsroclaiiced the national mind is awakened to a
sense of its own weakness , and it 3 progress is ' - arrested by those statutary precautions which were allowed to pass unopposed during the fervour of ; ; war . Do jon suppose that the Master and Servants' ! . Bill -would have been resisted amid the cksh of arms I find the caauon ' s roar \ No . Snch a trifling mea- ' ' Eore , affecting your very lives , wonld have been ] ebscured by the jsbilee of rejoicing and the bril- j « ancy of illuminations in honour of the death of thoKsands , mardered to aTenge the inEuit offered to : toe Mr . Pritchard , and as an atonement to his
"bounded feeliBjs . There is Tery liitle donbt that ] something is in the wind ; as full Gabinet Councils assembling after bo lengthened a Session of Parli- j smart is rather an nnnsual thing : and as the Monarch has the right , or rather the power , to declare far and proclaim peace , ihe people in the eTent of 3 T ^ ar being proclaimedmnst be prepared in the ont-j Bet to have their share in the struggle . Ifmonarchs So to war , the people who pay the cost mnst be Prepared to assert their right to Tote for the representatives who shall declare the people ' s share of * he burthen .
*> 6 doubt can exist thai the proclamation of war would be Tery speedily followed by an issue of one-Ponnd notes , and a tremendous rise in the price of * 3 ieatj while another result wonld be a considerable contraction of manual labour , caused by a correspond ing contraction of manufacturing operations ; and as a consequence , a considerable surplus © f mechanical Power . Therefore , unless millions of the English peo-I > le are satisfied to hire themselves to be shot at , and Baless our government is prepared to hire Dative inonstry instead . of foreign subsidies to discharge the K * ditaile aTocatioa of maB . butclierB , let the-whole

nation resound with tflOBBont of Peace , and leave Mr Pritchard to defend himself , and get out of the mess as well as he can . One thing iB quite certain ; and It Bhows how injustice will always recoil npon the wrong doer , They dare not keep Daniel O'Connell in conSnement four and twenty hours after the declaration of war ; while I Tery much doubt that the Irish people would continue their agitation for great principles , amid ihe increased prosperity which a war wonld confer npon that conn try above all others , under the sway of a British Crown .
Peel ' s Tariff which , notwithstanding all that has been advanced by magazine writers , journalists , pamphleteers and spoatera , I Btill contend is destined to be the tomb of the agricultural political power of this country , will be nipped in its bud , and the people will be deprived of the folly matured blessings of the greatest measure ever propounded by British statesman , living or dead . Peel ' s Tariff cannot come into full operation till about the autumn of 1346 ; and if Peal consent to a war now , it
will be Bimply for the purpose of saving himself from the responsibility of that great measure . In short , let England go to war , and Foreign butchery will be but a secondary consideration ; the domestic tyranny requisite to keep ih& starving millions and the present aspiring mind of the country in a state of subjection will be the primary consideration with those who would " hope to make the thing last their time , " though millions of valuable lives should be sacrificed to the experiment . Recollect the adage : —
" War ii a game that were their subjects wise , Kings would not play at ;" and , therefore , the conclusion is , that if yon allow your monarch to go to war , you are fools . A war -would add considerably to my property ; but a continuance of peace will add much more to my happiness , because it must increase your power , and that has been my sole object through life . Ever your faithful friend , Feasgcs O'Cokkob ..

REPEAL ASSOCIATION , MONDAY , AVO . 12 . The usual weekly meeting was held to-day in the Conciliation-hall , Mr . O'Cforman ia the chair . Several auma of money having been handed in , Mr . D . O'Connell , jun ., proposed a vote oftbanka to a Mr . Pearson , who had resigned his pretensions to to tbe representation of the College ward in favour of Mr . Charles Gavin Duffy , one of the state prisoners . Mr . M'Nevin seconded the motion . The motion having been carried , Mr . D . O'Connell , jun ., came forward with the weekly bulletin from the Richmond Penitentiary , which ia understood to be a transcript of his father ' s opinions on matters deemed to be of public interest . After stating that the prisoners continued to enjoy excellent
health and spirits , he proceeded to read as follows : — «• I can Btate to this association , from my own knowledge , that when the account ] reached Mr . O'Connell of the speech made by Mr . Shell , on tbe subject of the state trials , he expressed bis deep regret that any such speech should have been delivered . Mr . O Connell totally disavows and repudiates the matter of that speech . Ha thinks it was a highly unbecoming one , as proceeding from any friend of his ; aud he considered it anything but friendly on the part of M * . Sheii . I can alaoi state that , as Mr . OConnell , at the close ' of the proceedings in the Queen's Bench , solemnly protested against the Injustice done to him , he still continues firm in tbat protest . There has not been , and never will be on bis part , any shrinking or compromise ; and he cannot consider any man his friend who talks of either compromise or shrinking . Mr . O'Connell has notv , and restoration
loug baa had , but one poliUcalobject , —the of the domestic legislature of Ireland ; a restoration which , in his judgment , is merely a question ot time . Come it must—the only question is when . He deems the period not distant , and bi desirea to be at large only the more aatively to pursue all peaceable and legal means to restore the native legislature of Ireland . He bopea that his . imprisonment may aiouse every patriot who is out of prison to increased peaceable exertion for the Repeal oJ the deleterious Union . " The next topic adverted to was an assertion made by Sir Robert Peel , that Government Intended to iasue proclamations against twcuBapeal meetings previous to that of Clontarf , but that those meetings jwere abandoned . The correctness of this assertion wa& altogether denied , and Mr . O'Connell concluded by calliag on the burgesses of Dublin to pay up their taxes in order to be enabled to vote at the approaching municipal elections .
A resolution \ Jaa adopted to the effect that it be referred to the committee to report npon the best method of establishing Repeal reading j rooms throughout tbe conatry . t Mr . C . Powbll , MJ ., brought forward an address t »> her Majesty on the subject ; of Repeal , aaid to be signed by upwards of 1 , 600 , 000 people , and moved , that it be forwarded for presentation . The Hon . Gentleman took occasion to comment on the tpeech of Sir R . R » el , in which it vras asserted that the traveraera had had a ^ erfeoUy fait trial . He branded thta a » Mr . tion m false and unfounded , and proposed , that as tbe Premier had done so much to forward the present moye . ment , they should pay him the ; compliment of altering hi « name , and henceforth call him SirRobert Re-Peel-( cheers and laughter ) . \ ¦ Mr .

Repeal in London—TVardenmoie—Imp&rtahi Meeting—Declaration op thb Hon . member for Kerrt for Unconditional Repeal—On Thursday evening , the 8 tih instant , the usual weekly meeting of the Wardens was held in their Repeal Hall , Rose-street , Gree&streei , Soho-square . Mr . M . J . O'Connell , M . P ., wbs called to the chair , amidst loud cheering . He said that Parliamentary duties alone had prevented him comtog amongst them earlier . He dwelt at some length on the State trials , and passed au high eulogy on the Wardens of London , saying the cause they were supporting was certain of success . At this stage of the proceedings two gentle-. < nen waited upon the Wardens frem the Committee for tL'o Dancombe Testimonial , requesting the co-operation
of that body in their meritorious undertaking . The Hon . Chairman said that the Repealers of London , headed by their Wardens , would nobly do their duty . He feU , glad that he had the opportunity in bearing testimony to the services rendered by Mr . Dancombe towards . Ireland in the House of Commons . Mr . O Neil thetf read a paragraph from the Northern Star , which reflected on the character of the Inspector Genera ! , and while he was drawing the attention of the Wardens to it , a Warden called upon him to read the regular reports-of the London Repeal Correspondent in that journal , which being done , was received with decided mwltB of approbation , and it was apparent that no blame eonld be attached to that correspondent for that paagrapb complained of . It
was then agreed to that the Editor of the Northern Star should be written to concerning it . After the disposal ef some ottrsr business , in which tho Chairman took an active part , it was announced that between 15 and 16 . 000 persoaa had enrolled themselves daring the last week . The rote cf thanks passed to Repealers of London , at the Conciliation Hall , Dublin , ¦ was then ' read , when ifc was announced amidst loud cheers that £ 1 , 051 5 j . 9 d . bad been forwarded to-Dublin from London from the 1 st of January to the 1 st of August , 1844 . Mr . O'Connell having been moved out of the chair , Mr . M'Lean in moving the vote of thanks said , he hailed with delight another ef the O'Connell ' s amongst them , and regretted that the Hon . ' Gentleman had kept so long out of the
movement ; but he supposed he had better adhere the old adage— " Batter late than never . " Mr . Dunn , in seconding it , said , he never felt greater pleasure in his life than he did at that moment He knew that the gentleman who was the subject of the vote before them had only kept out of the movement from prudential motives ; for bis heart beat as warm for Ireland as ' that of any of his relatives . On . Mr . O'Conneli coming forward to return thanks , lie said that prudential motives alona had been tbe reason of bis not declaring sooner for Ireland . But when he found , the law outraged , and justice perverted , he could not longer resist tbe call of his country . The same lair applied to nations as to individuals . He had strictly attended to his duties in the House , not tor any good that might accrue , so much as for checking any evils that might arise . Ireland would not be satisfied with
less than an independent Legislature—( cheers ) . They must not be led by tbe wily stratagems of a Peel . He should shortly visit his native land , and they would find him in his place at the Conciliation Hall . He could bear testimony to the efficiency of the Repeal Wardens of London . On his return he should be of tea with them . In reference to the Writ of Error , he said , there were many rumours ; but let the decision be what it might , Ireland would abide by it . After passing iu quick review the manner that Ireland had been , treated during the session , be thanked them for the kind reception they had given him . On bis retiring , a similar burst of enthusiasm met him as upon bis entrance . Mr . M . J . O'Connell declared for FederaLism on the incarceration of his- uncle , which he supported up to tbe present time ; now he has nailed his co ' ours . to the mast for " Unconditional Repeal , ar . d no flinching . "
Lincoln ' s inn-Fields—On Snnday evening last * llth instant , this Ward was respectably attended , It having been announced that a lady would preside . At eight precisely the chair waa taken by Mrs . Murphy , The meeting was addressed by Mr . Eeyeon , au Israel * ite , who in an effective speech , showed th » t | the case of the Irishman aad the Isia&lltb « a » » r . alogou » . Ha was followed by Mr . OGrady , who drew the attention of the meeting to tbe speeches in the House of Lords , as far as regards Ireland , during the sessions . A vote of thanks was passed to Mrs . Murphy , and fort ; were enrolled . Drury Lane Ward—The usual weekly meeting of this Ward was held on Sunday last , at the Craven ' a Head , Drury-lane . Mr . M'Elligoit presided . Mr . HaningtoQ addressed the meeting at great length , on the benefits to be derived from the Repeal of the Union . Thirty were enrolled .
Finsbury Ward— Duke of Sussex , Islington GREEN—Mr . M Donald presided on Sunday evening last . Several able speeches were delivered , chiefly showing that Ireland would be far better nnder the benign ioflnence of her own Parliament . Sixty were enrolled . Grattan Ward . —The usual weekly meeting of this ward was held at the White Lion Tavern , Drurylane , Mr . K . O'Neill in the chair . The proceedings of the last meeting of the Conciliation Hall was read amid loud cheers . The Inspector-General ( W . J . O'Connell , Esq . ) : entered the room , and was received with loud eheers . He said be was delighted to see so large an assemblage before him ; and Repeal could not be far distant when supported as it was in London . He then
referred to the attacks made on him in the Horning Herald , tbe Cheltenham Free Press , and the Northern Star . He knew the source from which they emanated , and treated it with tbe contempt it deserved . Several gentlemen had informed him that the attack in tbe latter journal bad been inserted without the sanction of Mr . Feargus O'Connor . He then dwelt npon the resources that nature had bestowed upon Ireland , and said the mau that had carried Emancipation , whether in a gaol or not , would achieve the nationality of his country , and place her as one in the scale of nations—( cheers ) . One single English , Scotch , or Welsh member had more irfluence with the ministry , either Whig or Tory , than the whole of the Irish members put together : and England talked of Ireland biing done
justice to . It might be rightly called left-handed justice . Tbe Government dreaded the accumulating power of the English Repealers ; who they knew were the right-hand of the Association , and were ready to defend the Queen , should any unjust attack be made upon her . He then dwelt at great length on the late riots in America , and said that Tory gold wbb at the bottom of them ; and he would have them be upon their guard in London . He looked with delight on tbe brave manner in which the Americans had gained their independence , though he did not wish Ireland to achieve her independence by similar means . His august relative had laid the foundation of a new mode of warfare , which tbe whole physical power of Europe combined could not conquer . Tbe aristocracy
of England bad welcomed tbe Northern Despot to her shores at the time they bad imprisoned the man who had done more for liberty than ali the bloody revolutions that had preceded him . He then passed in quick review the conduct of England towards Ireland since the Union , and called on all those who loved liberty , whatever his creed or colour , to assist Ireland in regaining her just rights . At the conclusion of his address he Bat down loudly cheered . Dr . Looney then followed and drew the attention of the meeting to the position of Ireland in the early ages , during which she disseminated the principles of religion far and wide , and she would soon , by their assistance , do the same as regards liberty . Forty persons enrolled themselves as associates , and the meeting separated . Maze Ward . —Red Lion , Maee , Toolet-street . —A meeting of this ward was held on Sunday last , Mr . Leach presiding , who in an effective speech drew resorted to
the attention of bis auditory to the means by Pitt and Castlereagh in carrying the Union , and said that instead of England receiving any benefit from it , it had been materially injured ; and instanced the late conduct of Lord Londonderry and the great manufacturers in bringing the unemployed Irish into the labour market of England , to depreciate the priee of labour , and tbat it was the duty of Ihe working classes of England , who were so heavily taxed , to come forward and wrest the unjust power out ol the bands of the taskmasters of England , and place Ireland in that situation that nature bad ordained her to nil —( cheers ) . Mr . Cullen , R . W . fallowed . He said he was happy to say that some portion of the English press were open to them , by which . meana the reports of their meetings were read by the working classes of this country , and tbat they Would pereeive tbat the band of fellowship was extended to them . The sause of Ireland was tbe causa
of England , and vice versa . He sat down loudly cheered . Fgty-five were enrolled . Three cheers were given for O'Gonuell , Repeal , and for the union of all classes of both countries . MEETI 3 SS were also held in various parts of the Metropolis , which were all well attended , and great numbers , toere enrolled .
( From . another Correspondent . ) St . John s Wood Ward- —Sunday night , Mr ; Kelly in the chair .. After considerable business had been transacted and several associates enrolled , Mr . Hyde reported tbat he bad received no communication froa Dublin relative to the suspension of the Lodge , A discussion ens » ed on th » aubject , and it was agreed that a firm but respectful letter should be written to the Association at Dublia , to know whether upwards of 2000 associates belonging to tbat Ward were to be diBenfranchiaed and cat off from tbe fellowship of thei * fellow sen at tbe dictum of Mr . W . J . O'Cpnnell ?
Several high compliments were paid to Mr . Hyde , a branch of the Castle Hyde family in the County of Cork , a ma& who has dona more for the cause of Repeal in London than any other man . A Wardmote was held , on Thursday evening , at 'Which Mr . Morgan Joha O'Connell attended , and an investigation took place relative to the charges made against Mr . W . J . O Coa-¦ elh I donotknow the result .
