RATIONAL BANQUET TO O'CONNELL AND THE OTHER TRAVERSERS . Deblik . Fbidat Mohsisg . — " The national banket to O'Connell and the Test of the liberated martyrs , " bock place last night at the Muao-hall , Lower Abbey-street . Prom a cross table at one end sprang tea others at right angles , oecnpying the centre of the Hall , which was defined by the pillars of deep galleries that projected all round . The space underneath these was also closely occupied with tables . Covers ¦ were laid for About 800 , and as the hall was crowded it may be supposed thai about that number sat down to dinner at six o ' clock , long before which honr all the seats-were occupied . The price of the tioket was £ 1 , and the company was respectablebeing
, composed for the mcst part of the wealthier class of shopkeepers , with a sprinkling of merchants and professional men . The attendance from the provinces was comparatively trifling , and scaroely entitling ihe reunion to be regarded as s demonstration of " national" feeling . The principal feature observable in this respect was , that Cork , Limerick , waierford , IKIlkenny , Sligo , Clonmel , and Drogheda were represented by their mayors and several of thB aldermen and town-councillors . There were also present some provincial Roman Catholic priests , three Presbyterian clergymen from the north , and a Protestant rector , the Rev Mr . Tyrrell , who , is is said , is a reoent convert to federalism .
A 3 each gentleman was entitled to a lady ' s ticket , about a similar number of the fair sex ( in full ilress ) filled the galleries . The hall was brilliantly lighted , but very slightly decorated , - and the only inscriptions were ( over the chair ) " Remember the 30 th of May , 1844 ; " opposite to it " The Repeal of the Union , " and at either side "Peace and Perseverance , " Lords Denmaa , Cottenhim , and Campbell . ' Mr . "W S . O'Brien was in the chair . On His right sat Mr . O'Connell , T > r . Higgins { the Bishop of Atd&gh ) , the Rev . Mr . Tierney ( ex-traverser \ and the
± tev . Mr . Tyrrell ( Protestant clergyman ); on his left the Lord Mayor of the city , Lord Ffrench , and Dr . Cantwell ( Bishop of JUeatb ) . There were also at the same table the rest of the liberated martyrs , " the Hon . Mr . HntcMnEon , Dr . M'Nally ( Bishop of Clogher ) , the Rev . JMr . Kennedy ( Protestant clergyman ) , Sir J . Power , the Mayors of the several pieces already enumerated , Mr . Somers . MP .: Sir . Blake . 1 LP . ; Mr . Maher , $ LP . ; Mr . D . Browne , M . P . \ Mr , Power , M . P . ; Mr . Kelly , M . P . ; Mr . E . B . Roche , il . P . ; &c , && Grace haTing been said ,
. Mr . 0 'Hjsa , one « f th © secretaries , Tead letters of apology from the following persons : — John , < Archbisaop of Tuam ); Thomas Coen , ( Bishop of Cionferi ); William Ktnsella , ( Bishop of Ossory ) : Michael Blake , { Bishop of Dronmort ); George J . O'Btirne , ( Bishop of Elphin ); Daniel O'Connor , ( Bishop of b&ldes ); Dr . flealey ; Lord Stonrlon ; Lord Camoys ; Lady Bellew , for Sir Michael Bellew ; Lord Miltown , The O'Cdnor . Don , Thomas S . Dancombe , M . P . ; Wm . Shaman Grawford , M . P . ; John A . O'Neill , Esq . ; the Marquis of Shrewsbury ; Lord Kildare ; Thomas Wyse , M . P . ; Joseph Slurge , E-q . ; aad several other Members of arliament and Gentlemen ; also a letter from Mr . Duffy , editor of the Nation , dated from Lismore , that gentleman being on a visit to Munster for the benefit of Ms health . The Chairmas gave the health of the Queen .
The toast was drunk with enthusiasm , as was also that of Prince Albert , the Prince of Wales , and ihe rest ol the Royal family resident in Great Britain . " The Cbai&xxs nest proposed " Ireland and her people . * Mr . B . Roche , M . P ., having been called upon , attributed the compliment thus paid him to the fact of his representing in common with Mr . O'ConneU , the largest constituency in Ireland . The people of Ireland , however , no longer required an advocate . Their acts for the last twelve months spoke for them nobly . In fact , were it not for their peaceful , temperate , and enduring conduct , we ( said the Hon . Gentleman ) would not be assembled here this
evening to celebrate the greatest triumph that ever a popular canse achieved—( ebeers ) . - And was there ever a cause—was there ever a people who had so great—so glorions an advocate ? ( " Never . " ) W * s there ever an advocate having so noble and so grateful a people 1 { " Never . ' ') In the name of the people -whom I hare the honour in a great portion to represent , I esll upan yon , Sir ( addressing Mr . O'ConneH ) to persevere in the noble cause in which you have embarked —( loud cheers ) . I know you require no reminding from me or from them —( hear ) —but I think it is well that I , being still in daiiy
communication-with tie sonth , ? honld tell , not you , but the people of England , of France , of America , of the whole civilised ^ lobe , that we are prepared and determined to persevere—( lond creers ) . When the whole people of the world have declared tha ; you . Sir ( turning to Mr . O'ConneU ) , and other ad-Tocate of Ireland's rights , have suffered a manifest injustice in your imprisonment , we cannot think so badly of the English people as not to believe that they will ii = e np to a man , and turn from office that miserable Ministry who have attempted to prevent Ireland from retaining her independence—( hear , hear , and cheers ) .
The Chaxbmas next proposed Mr . Q'Connell ' s iealtb —( loud and enthusiastic cheers , several , times TJgoronslj repeated , nntU at length the whole company , including the ladies , toss and . waved their iisndkerchie ' s ) Mr . O'CrcofEix ( who was still evidently labouring under the cold of which he complained on Wednesday , and who did do : appear either to enjoy his accustomed flow of spirits ) said , —There cannot be one amongst you who supposes that I rise to pour out my gratitnde . No ; I rise for another , a better , a nobler purpose , 1 rise to instigate you all , and , through you to arouse all Ireland , to renewed exertion for the Repeal of the Union —( . cheers ) . It is Tery geod to cheer—it is very pleasing to be cheered ,
provided it does not lasttoo long—( laughter ) ; but cheering alone won't do , words won ' t do , we must have ac : ion 3 . From this spos I call upon every man , of every creed , sect , and persuasion throughout Ireland , to rally for Ireland—( cheers ) . The illuitrions Gratian well said that he stood by the cradle of Irish independence—that he followed her te her grave . She is not dead , my friends , she only sleep 3 ; and here am I calling upon you to sound the trumpet to ner resurrection—( cheers ) . Yes , shs shall ari 3 e , she must rise , in her native 4 ignity , majesty 1 she will arise , glorious and as far immortal as anything earthly can be—( cheers ) . Gracefully she shall proceed in her career of liberty and happiness gently bowing the head of allegiance to the-English crown , bnt asserting firmly her right to be governed by her sons—( cheers ) . Ours is a country that ought to be free , and mast be free . She has been too
long sunk in provincial degradation—she must be the sister and coequal of England , and not continue the slave of any land—( cheers ) . And are onr prospects darkening ; Is the vista gloomy through which we behold the coming dawn of Irish freedom ! Jso ; ¦ we are triumphant to-night—we are celebrating onr trinmph—it 13 an ovation for Ireland and freedom , and the glorious prospect of liberty shines bright and steady before us—( cheers ) . We are celebrating a triumph . A celebrated French General has rightly asserted , that difficulty does not consist in obtaining "victory , but in profiting by it—( hear , hear ) . We have gained a victory—certainly without personal difficulty to ourselves , for it came at a moment that it was least expected , and when we anticipated that the dark bolt of Ministerial injustice was shot closely on the- door of our prison . At that very moment there came an unseen hand that shook to
pieces eveiy obstacle—the pnson < loor was opened , and it was declared that Ireland had a right tatake her measures to obtain legislative independence—Goud cheers ) . How are we to profit by ii 1 By Tedombling every exertion—by increasing every effort—by organising every painful energy—and by one and all being prepared to approach ihe JPsrliament at the commencement of the next session ¦ wi th the united and combined voice of Ireland embodied in our petitions , giving England to understand , that as there is not rest for the wicked in the presenoe of the Almighty , so there shall be no-rest from the agitation until Ireland is righted—( cheers ) . What is onr first dnty in that agitation ? Onr first duty 1 b to combine to ^ pthoT
_ the Irish of . every sect and persuasion— -to-nnite and combine all-Irishmen , of every gradation 6 f opinion , Who agree with nsin thinking one thing necessarythe Repeal . of the Union—( cheers ) . I read ^ with pleasure , thongh with some surprise , the letter of Mr . Sharman Crawford—( hear ) . He seems to think that the leaders of the agitation have excluded the Federal principle from their consideration , and will not act with those who are -simply Federalists . I am happy from this spot—and I deem it part of my dnty—to inform him that he is mistaken in that supposition . We prefer—most of as prefer—the simple Repeal of the Act of Union j but there is not one . of us that would not be content to Repeal the Act of Union , and Bubstitote a -Federal Parliament—( hear , hear ) . Not one . I don ' t Jhink Federalism to be the best : but I was never one of those
"who had such an overweening opinion of the infallibility of my own judgment , not readily to yield to argument , and co-operate with any man that thinks letter . I anuready to join with the Federalists to Hepeal the Aet or TLnon , and obtain , in the words of Mr . Sharman Crawford , thB power for Irishmen to make laws to bind Ireland- ( cheers ) . We have in the association numbers of persons who have J oined ns as Federalists—( hear , hear ) . Mr . Grey Porter has proclaimed himself a Federalist , and in ihe name of the Irish—for I venture to speak in the name of the Irish people—( cheers ) . I propose that he shonld become the leader of that movement—( hear , hear ) . I don't want to be a leader . I am quite satisfied to be driver . —( cheers and laughter ) , ini there are men who decline to join vb from an apprehension orreligious ascendancy being one oi ihe consequences of the Repeal of the Union . Ah ,

Sir , if you thought to you would not be in that chair to-night —( hear , hear ) . You have been actively ana incessantly engaged in onr movement during the last twelve months ; and yon best know whether from the first day of your connexion with us to the present hour you aver heard from one of us a Bingle expression derogatory to the religion of those who hold different tenets from the vast majority of the Irish people ^ - ( hear , hear ) . No such expression you ever heard issuing from our lips , and for this manifest reason , that no such thought ever had existence in our hearts . As a Cath'lio I have seen nothing but evil effects from religious ascendancy , and I hate it too intensely to permit that the pnre faith whioh I eonseieneionsly profess , and which I think the best ,
should be contaminated by it—( cheers ) . Bnt while we disclaim all idea of ascendancy on our own parta , it is a privilege too odious that we shonld suffer it to be eDjoyed by any other party whatsoever . Equality , not ascendancy , is what we labour to attain , and the whole philosophy of our political principles , may be comprised in this sentence—the smooth level of freedom—equal rights and equal liberties for all , but ascendancy or superiority to none—( cheers ) . Another impediment in the course of Repeal is the alleged danger of a convulsion in property ; but nothing was ever more absurd or more irrational than any such apprehension , for the danger consists in not repealing the Union . Property is not safe , and I will even go the length of
saying that it ought not to be so while the present system of things continues . How can there be prosperity in the country , how can there be security to property , as long as £ 6 , 000 , 000 of money , which ought to be expended in raising wages and creating a compstitien for labour , are drained out of the country for the purpose of enriching and aggrandizing other lands ? They who have no inheritance nor patrimony but the vigour of their frame , would , if the Union was repealed to-morrow , have six millions of money competing for their labour , and wages would then be secured to them such as "would essentially promote their comfort and happiness . It may be Baidthat to the Protestant portion of the community the patronage of the establishment would be
a ducat lost in the first place . 1 don ' t know any slass of men who are worse paid than a number of the Protestant clergymen . I don ' t know any set of men who are obliged to practice more rigid economy than they are —( hear , hear ) . I tbink they would be better paid by a voluntary principle than they are at present . But , at all events , my principle is , that whoever prays with the clergyman should pay the clergyman , and nobody else —( tvear , heaT ) . But if that , patronage be lost , I ask the inhabitants of Ireland whether an immense accession of patronage will not be obtained in many of the public offices ? Why , the Custom-house is filled with . Englishmen and Scotchmen . You hear the broad accents of the Scotch , the chirping fiippency of the English note .
but you bear no Irish not *—( hear ) . Every situation is filled by Scotchmen or Eugliehmen , with very few and paltry exceptions ; and if there be a question of balance of patronage—if we had the Union repealed I think we would not have any functionary but an Irishman . The Irish are a noble people—generous , temperate , and religious , with the finest climate on the face of the earth . O , the demons of darkness shall not stalk alone through the land—the tyrants of conscience and man shall not have thiB countiy jo themselves . Tno people ot Ireland are entitled to their native land ; and depriving no man of his property , libarty , or rights , but increasing every man ' s comfort , Ireland shall be a nation—( cheers ) . Yes , the day is eoming—it ' s not distant—when the
Irish shall have Ireland —( tremendous cheering ) The late victory is but an omen , a proof of the success that is to came ; and I implore of all who hear me to spread abroad the likelihood of . that success—( near , hear ) . We have the representatives of the nation—not only the chief magistrates of all the great towns of Ireland surround me , but I am surrounded by many of thj foremost friends of liberty and freedom—I am surrounded by the genuine representatives of the people , for the esteemed hierarchy of Ireland have sent their holy prelates here—( cheers ) . Protestant patriotism fills the chair—( great cheering ) . This is a glorious day for Ireland —Let us then rally—let us proclaim throughout Ireland—and each of yon will proclaim it in your
respective districts—that the time is come when we should bs donbly energetic—when there is a perfect prospect of success to encourage ns—and when , if despair exists , we should be doubly active to counteract it —( cheers ) . This is the period to call upon Irishmen to rally round me , to be strictly peaceable , loyal , tranquil , but determined—( cheers ) . Active and energetic , submissive to the law , bat fall of love of country —( hear ) , Ireland , beloved Ireland , you so&li be a nation again—( cheers ) . Christiana of every denomination shall , under the angel wing of mutual benevolence , meet together and transact their world business without religions animosity—leave their differences in religion to be settled by piety ,
charity , and good will , and join together for the peace and happiness of fatherland —( cheers ) . O , is there not distinct evidence presented to English statesman that their policy to this country is not prudent nor safe to continue ? It was prophrsied that it would not continue . At the time the Uoion was carried Lord Grey prophesied that the Irish people would find out ihe insult and insist upon retribution —( cheer .- ) . We have found it out , and are here engaged in demanding an honest retribution—( cheers ) . Repealers of every class , whether Federalist or not , I call upon you to rally round me—the day is come—the hour is arrived—rally with me for Old Ireland and Repeal . Mr . O'Connell resumed his seat amidst great cheering .
Mr . O'Coneix proposed the health of the Chairman , Mr . Smith O'Brien . Tne Chairman briifly acknowledged the compliment . His speech was enthusiastically received . Mr . John O'Connell , Mr . Ste * le , Mr . Barrett , Dr . Gray , Mr . Ray , and Mr . Alexander Macueven severally addressed the meeting , in brief speeches . The Chairman ga-ve " the healths of Lord Denman , Couenham , and Campbell . After some other toasts and speeches , The Rev . T . Magcihe , parish priest of Balh ' namore , having been called upon , rose and said—Although very much in trepidation of my own pnysical security as long as the Tories are in office , still I venture to address you : and 1 do confess that
although 1 know my heart is in the right place , and although 1 know that that heart will cease to beat before it ceases to profeS 3 honestly its true allegiance and loyalty to Victoria—( loud cheers )—yet that heart will also cease to beat before it professes , or in the slightest degree entertains , the smallest feeling of allegiance er loyally to her present tinkering Ministry—( cheers and laughter ) . Gentlemen , I have had frequent private discussions with some of the most determined Tories in Ireland—( heaT ) . They have told me , "It is vain , Sir , for you Repealers to i > Tofes 3 loyalty to "Victoria , when yon attack her Ministers ., because if you assail the Ministers , you assail the Government ; and if you assail the Government , yon assail the Queen . " There is
a Tory syllogism for you—( loud iaughter)—and I think it would really require no Witch of Endor to give an answer to that syllogism —( hear , hear , aHd lond cheeiB ) . It iB of late the Tories found out the grand constitutional secret that the Minister and the Queen were dovetailed—( laughter ) , — that they were quid unum et idem , and that to assail the one was to assail the other . I wonder they did not make that discovery when Melbourne was Prime Minister , and the Whigs were in office . At that time the Ministers were traitors , and the Queen a " Jtzabel . " But now , forsooth , if we only loll our tongues against the Minister , we loll against the Queen . I treat . the argument with contempt , for I do say , 1 not only love the Queen for conscience sake , but I
love her on her own account . I have sufficient experience and am sufficiently read to know that the Queen is constitutionally infallible , but 1 also know tbat Her Ministers are neither actually nor constitutionally so—( cheers ) . The Qieencan do no wrong , according to the principles of the British constitution ; but I know well what wrong a daring , stiffnecked , base , and truculent Ministry , backed by an infamous Tory majority , can do—( cheers ) . I told you before I was in dread of speaking in these Tory times , for I knew if I once began , I would gpeak out—( "hear , hear , " and cheers ) . It 13 easy , my fellow countrymen , making sure of the heart , for honesty is sufficient for that ; but I can assure you it is not so easy to make the tongue Bafe . We
are told by the highest authority that can be quoted —an inspired authority—that no man that ever lived could tame the tongue—there is not a word about women in the text —( laughter ) . The sacred writer positively tells you , that though you may t&me the lion and the tiger—and Pliny himself declares that even the adder has been tamed—but yet we are told by the holy and inspired writer , that , there never jet was a man who was able enough to tame hiB tongue . We all know that Chief injustice Pennefather could not tame his tongue —( load laughter and cheers ) . We all know that Sir James Graham ( groans )—who is my political father , for it was he wio made a Repealer of me—( laughter)—we all know tbat he could not tame hia tongue : an instance of which we had in his saying that the Papists
or Ireland had arrived at the maximnm of concession—( hear , hear , and groans ) . We all know that Lord Stanley—( groans)—could not sometimes tame his tongue , particularly -when O'Connell was concerned , and when he had a tyrant majority at his back to cheer him and halloo him on . But O'Connell , with a good cause , and superior temper , had often brongLt the little eloquent , bnt , at the Bame time , gabbling and intemperate Stanley , to his senses— ( hear , and cheers ) . Gentlemen , I believe you will all admit that Lord Lyndhum oould not hold his tongue with his aliens , " &c . The sentence iB too well known to require being repeated —( hear , hear , and groans ) . I now ask you if the licking , fawning , sycophantic , and I will , by and by , add another name for him from the London J ?; ra 7 nin £ r—
Lord Brougham and Vox , for be is now Voxelpraterea nihil , will ever be able to hold his tongue j—( bear , hear , and groans ) . I recollect in my boyish classics a sentence which struekjne very forcibly as describing a man who had lost all that he had pos « sessed ia the world . It was cor hominum sonat . The roice is all tbat remains of the man—all that

remains of the once eminent Henry Brougham is the poor empty Vox . The pretty-faced , beautifulvisaged Lord Brougham , has now become , not the glory , but the shame , of the country and of the Legislature ; but paulo majora canemus . I suppose you now think that I am coming down te Mr . T . B . C . Smith—( groans and laughter ) . Facilis descensus Averni ; and though I expose myself to the danger of being frightened by him , I will not hesitate from mentioning the General Attorney who ia so by patent , and who has more Christian names than Christian virtues—( criea of hear , hear , and loud laughter ) . But , gentlemen , allow me to tell you—and it is perhaps well Worthy your attentionwhat the Tories Bay of our position—for I am pretty
intimate with them , and , indeed , I think I might say that I know more of the Orangemen of Ireland than any one of my profession in the kingdom—( hear , hear ) : They Bay , " Now , Father Tom , what will you and the Repealers do V I pay " Explain yourself ;" : they immediately reply , You are now in a crisis , the crisis is [ upon you , what will you do ?" I say , "Sir , our crisis is over ; we have got the cool , and we are . here now in perfect health and strength , and in the majesty of our popular . might . We have had a fine , healthy , slumbering sweat of three months and here we are gloriously renovated , and possessing all the majesty of the physical power , as well as , of the moral power , of a nation —( cheers ) . But I say to you , Mr . Tory ( although you pretend you are only
a Conservative ) , that the crisis is on England —( heat hear )—and I ask you , Mr . Tory , what will the State doctor prescribe for her ?—( hear , and laughter ) . I tell him he has only two remedies , and I defy him to show me any other . " I will now discuss these two remedies with you , Mr . Tory—one is the right remedy and the other is the wrong remedy—( laughter ) . Well , says he , what is the right remedy 1 I tell him it is a very largo and ample dose of justice to Ireland—( hear , hear ) . " Why , Father Tom , " he replies , " you are a very bad logician . How can you show that a dose of medicine to Ireland can prove a remedy , when you say that it is England that suffers from the malady V I answer—It is we tbat have thrown England into the fever . She has been
wrestling with ns , but it was Abraham straggling with the Irish Jacob —( cheers ) . We have thrown fat John Bull'into a heavy Bweat . He was too well fed with our bullocks and our sheep to throw off the surfeit . Ho kept us feeding on lumpers and horsecorn bread , which was very digestable food , and consequently we have got rid of all our complaints ; but the fever and the crisis is now on honest John , as you call him—( laughter ) . But let him give a large dose of justice to Ireland , and we will be no longer teasing him , as we now are , night , noon , and morning , and keeping him without his natural rest . He has been lately wrestling with France , but we kept pulling , and dragging , and nipping him , until he was at last brought upon his knees , when he
cried out Peccavi , for fear of Ireland —( hear , hear , aud laughter ) . Therefore I say , as John Bull eats three times as much as he ought , he requires five times more sleep than we are disposed to give him . But , let him give us the large dose of justice that we demand , and we will allow him to rest in peace , and it can then be said of him tbat juslitia et pax osmlaia sunt , "justice and peace have embraced each other / ' And remember , gentlemen , that although we deny England peace , we refuse her war —( cheers ) . And why do we refuse her war 1 Believe me it is not from fear—( cheers ) . You will recolleot—at all events the Liberator will recollect —that at Castlebar I offered to meet any force they could bring into Ireland , on three months' notice .
It was then inconvenient to prosecute me , because I would be my own counsel , and would have told some wholesome truths , which they might not like to hear —truths which , though they might bo unwise for me to speak , might be good tor my country —( cheers ) . The reason why we are quiet ia this—we are united and schooled by O'Connell , and determined to take his advice—( cheers ) . Bear with me for a moment : I fear I am too prosy—(" No , no" ) . The dose of justice we want to have given to Ireland , in order that she may have time to sleep is—repeal of the damned , unholy Union —( cheers ) . Will Peel now give us a Coercion Bill to cure all ? If he do , bathershin —( laughter ) ;—if he do , I remind him of the motto— " Dust thou art , and unto dust thou
shalt return / 1 would change the word * ' dust for " dirt "—( roars of laughter ) . Peel himself is not inclined to be brought to such a state ; but his party will make him wallow in the mire —( hear ) . When my friend Dr . Gray—to whom I never had the honour of a personal introduction , but for whom I had the highest esteem on account of his talents and his generous and unswerving patriotism—when that celebrated m&n , Gray , said he bated England , I maintain that he meant the Tory party of England —( hear , hear ) . I deny it to be a sweeping , universal proposition . ' It was hardly general . He meant the party in England that had unjustly thrown him into prison . Not a man here hates England as England . No , no ; let England become just to us , and
let us become just to England ; for there is oppression in England as well as here . Do you not see her own people famishing , and committing suicide from starvation ? I say , therefore , let England become just to u ? , and we will become peaceful to her . But until England learns justice , we shall never know peace . The mantle of Elijah fell on Elias ; the mantle of Moses has fallen on O'Connell—( cheers ) . He is destined to deliver the children of the prom it e , long as they are labouring under the proud court of Pharoah—( renewed cheers ) . I will tell you whathe by a powerful and uninterrupted agitation has given the waters a healthy taste . He has purified them by agitation , and by a certain Attio salt known well to England . By this sa . lt he ha 9 purified them
in such a manner as that the Orangemen are beginning to come to them —( hear ) . They are no longer the putrid , muddy , and semi-asphaltio waters they once were ; but they are becoming pure and healthy , and let me tell you this , — that Orangemen of the county of Antrim are coming to the resolution to join this association—( cheers ) . 1 Bhall answer ' the last question put down . It is this—that O Connoll has invented a moral screw—( hear , hear ) . Talk to me of your steam 2 Talk to me of your atmospheric attraction and power ! Talk to me . Sir , of the great original Archimedean screw I Bat O ' Connell has invented one stronger than all the others ; for , by means of his moral screw , he says to the navy of England , ** Go , " and it goeth , and to the army of
England , " Come , " and it cometh —( " hear , hear , " and cheers ) . O'Connell says to the Rhadamanthus" You want to preserve a kind of amphibious or dubious connexion in the territories of Queen Pomare ^ —I Bay como down here , get into the harbour of Kingstown , and then take the puff up and make a show of yourself at Wateriord , a spectacle to men and angels "—then O'Connell begins to work his moral screw again , and say 3 to the rest of the navy of Eugland , — " Ah , you want to be before Tangiei , and you want to be before Mogador—be off insxaatly , and into the harbour of Cove . " —(" hear , hear , " and laughter ) . Thua he commands the navy and army of England , and thus he speaks to every Power in Europe , by means of his moral screw . Why , now
England has a misunderstanding with America , and O'Connell settles the question . Again , she has a misunderstanding with France—and , talking of France , allow me to tell you , that although some people are gratified that there is a private misunderstanding between Louis Philippe and Dan , but it is not half as great as it is pretended to be—Louis Philippe is afriirf of nothing in England but the navy , and Dan ays , "Leave the navy to me ; I'll settle that part f th « q estion . " Thus , by the force of our moral screw wo shall settle all the difficulties of England—( hear , hear , and cheers ) . We don ' t want to strike her , but then she is so fat that , like Pilcher Palmer and his wife , we may tickle her to death—( laughter ) . There are seven millions Ropealers in Ireland —( loud cheers ) . Will it be denied , Mr . Chairman , my lords , and gentlemen , that 1
know something of Ireland ?—( loud cries of" No . " ) Why , I have been threugh every part and parish of the country ; and I say there are seven millions Repealers , and out of that number I will give yoji one thousand altogether of place-hunters , and expectants , and men afraid to speak out . Well , then , there are seven millions Repealers , and half a million Protestants , who are Repealers also , for unquestionably we shall have half a million Protestants . That will settle the question . All you have to do is to give a long pull , a strong pull , and a pull altogether—to ibide by the Liberator—to take his advice—not to go an inch to the right or to the left without that advice , and Repeal is certain . Mr . Grattan , M . P ., the Lord Mayer , Caleb Povvel , Esq .., Mr . Staunton , and Lord Ffrench , subsequently addragsed the assembly , which broke up about twelve o ' clock .

that the proprietors of those newspapers were amongst the traversers , and were members of the Association—an endeavour was made to yield to what was then stated to be law , but what they did not believe to be law , by enabling the subscribers to their funds to procure newspapers for themselves . The proprietors of the newspapers were , however , no longer , members of the Association , and there was therefore no longer any occasion for the precaution which they had taken . It was found to be very troublesome and very expensive to the several localities , and he had accordingly to move , on the part of the committees , the following resolution : —
" That the system of drawbacks be abandoned , and that the practice be restored which entitles the subscribers to the repeal rent to receive newspapers to the value of £ 1 6 s for each £ 10 subscribed , too newspapers to be Dublin newspapers , and to be selected by the corresponding contributors . " The resolution was seconded by Dr . Nagle , and carried . . Mr . O'Connell again rose . He said the next topic on whioh he was directed to report from the committee related to repeal reading rooms . There were 300 of those establishments already opened
throughout the country , and it was the wish of the Association to increase them , and encourage them to the utmost extent . The Repeal reading rooms would efftiotually remove the youths of the country from the public houses , and would afford them rational amusement and instruction . The committee oould not undertake to give them all pecuniary aid , but they would furnish them with some newspapers , and with the tracts published by the Association ; while the members would procure other newspapers for themselves , besides books . The resolution whioh he was instructed to move was as follows : —
" Resolved , That this Association recommend the estabJisment of Repeal Reading Rooms , and will giva every support in its power to such reading rooms ; but that it is not prepared to pledge itself to make pecuniary grants in all caees in which reading rooms may be established . " The resolution was seconded by Mr . Kelly , M . P ., and carried . ' Mr . O'Connell , after briefly addressing the meeting on one or two subjects of no particular importance , said , he wished : o allude to some exceedingly strong observations that : bad been used by a gentleman whom he much esteemed ( Dr . Grey ) , at the dinner on Thursday night . That gentleman spoke very harehly of Eugland , and spoke of hating the
English people , and he wished to protest against such language . He was himself always ready enough to blame the crimes of the people of Eugland , but he could not remain silent when such Roneral expressions were made against them—expressions that could only be accounted for by the hurry of a tumultuous moment . He totally disavowed any participation in those expressions , and the Association could have nothing to do with them —( hear , hoar ) . He would next proceed to bring the business of the day before the association . On the last day of meeting , it had been referred to the committee to ! report whether it was necessary to hold the great meeting at Clontarf , the suppression of which had been described by Lord Cloncurry in the manner !
read to them . That meeting would only be necessary : for the assertion of a great constitutional principle , which no longer required to be vindicated . Taey j insisted on the right of the Queen ' s subjects to meet ! in aay numbers , no matter how large , for peace- ; ably petitioning the Legislature . Change , in itself , should be guarded against , and should not be made unless called for by the greater portion of the ! people . The more severe and oppressive any grievance became the greater would be the number of the people calling for its redress . Petitions might have forged signatures attached to them , but at a meeting every person had sn opportunity of protesting against any particular doctrine , and public meetings were , therefore , the bjst means of ascertaining the bearing of public opinion . It was for this
reason , and because he had heard Lord Althorp , m 1832 , declare that , " though he would think himself justified in resisting Repeal , even at the expense of a civil war , still that if the overwhelming majority of the Irish people demanded it , they were entitled to have it granted , " that he decided on holding the monster meetings , as they were called , of last year . He had been refused every demand he had made during the existence of the Precursor Society , to have the people of Ireland put on an equality with those of England . Even Lord Morpeth rejected , On the part of the Government , hia application for leave to lay a Bill upon the table of the House for an equality of franchise between England and Ireland ; and he then had no resource but to se . k for Repeal ,
and : to show to the world that the people of Ireland were determined to regajn their domestic Legislature . They accordingly held forty-one monster meetings . He went from Dundalk to Sligo , from Sligo to Cork , from Cork to Wexford , and from Wexford to Drogheda , to ascertain the feeling of the people on the question . At Tara they had more than one million of human beings collected , and by such means as that they asserted the principle that they had a right to meet aud to express their wishes and feeliugs . They committed no breach of the peace . Judge Burton , in passing an illegal sentence on him , admitted that his intentions were peacable , that he had the power to keep the people peaceable , and that , in fact , they had remained peaceable ; but still the Irish judges were
uuammousiy of opinion that those meetings were illegal , though the English judges unanimously pronounced them to be strictly legal—( hear , hear ) . After that unanimous opinion , pronounced by the nine English judges , there was no necessity for them to go farther in vindicating the principle of their right to meet . Were it otherwise , ho would be for holding the Clontarf meeting at any risk . He said " at any risk / ' because , he knew the people would remain peaceable , and go to the meeting unarmed , still , if Lord Cloncurry spoke the truth in his letter , there might be an attempt to procure a massacre by armed soldiery . The oommiuee had taken these matters into their consideration , and had requested him to report the following resolution for the adoption of the Association : —
rriday , Sept . 20 , in committee , Mr . Q'Conneu moved , that n is the opinion of this committee , that the holding of the meeting at Cloatarf in lieu of that illegally prohibited , is not necessary for the maintaiuence of our constitutional principle , namely , the right of the Queen's subjects to hold peaceable meetings in any numbers , however great , for the purpose of petitioning the Crown or Parliament for the obtaining legal redress for grievances , it having been recognised and established by the unanimous opinions of the English judges . " Seconded by Mr . W . S . O'Brien , and passed . Mr . O'Connell then moved , that he ehouid report the resolution to the public meeting of this day . Mr . Kex . lv seconded the resolution which was carried .
Mr . O'Connell—( in continuation)—said that the nexttopio related to the assembling of the Preservative Society , and the question had been referred to the committee , who had reported that the time had not yet arrived for it , and had asked leave to sit again . He would therefore move '' that they should have leave to sit agaip to consider the subject , and that , in addition , it should be an instruction to the committee to avoid introducing anything which in the smallest way could be construed into illegality "—( loud cheers ) . His two propositions therefore were , that further time should be given to consider the nature of the Preservative Society , and , that they should avoid the least approach to any violation of the law . Further time was necessary .
because the steps to be taken must be considered and enured upon most deliberately . The asasociation , too , wanted to satisfy every person of the necessity of such a body , which , in its general substance , would be an assemblage of three hundred gentlemen , possessed of £ 100 each , who might form tneinselves into d society and enter into negotiations with the ministry of the day for Repeal , and to have the checking and controlling power over all the acts of the association —( loud cheers ) . Thongh such was the general plan of the society in thtory , it required the greatest caution to carry it into practice , and every step towards its formation should be taken with the greatest deliberation . It wa 3 right that peoples ' minds should ripen upon
the subject Of the difference between the simple absolute Repeal , and the Repeal with a tendency to admit principles of Federalism . There was , he was happy to say , a great growing spirit of nationality iu a large portion of the party calling themselves Conservatives . They were beginning to consider the question of the restoration of the Irish Parliament—( cheers ) . It was therefore necessary to undeceive the public mind , and make them understand that the Association received Federalist and Repealer alike . There could be no Federalist without the Repeal of the Union Act , and that Federalists and R -pealera sought alike —( cheers ) . They had accordingly , after much : deliberation , admitted Federalists , the first of whom bad been the Roman Catholic Bishop of Clare , and he hoped to augment their numbers—( hear , hear ) . He was not at ail hart that Mr . Porter had printed his unfounded opinions of Catholicity , for he had been educated in prejudice , some of whioh he
had thrown aside , and for himself he was glad that Mr . Porter had Protestant ( prejudices , for it showed how strong his convictions were when he became a Federalist . Mr . Porter had written a work on draining , he must now write a book against it , for the country had beeu drained enough—( cheers and laughter ) . He the more readily consented ta postpone the assemblage of the Preservative Society , in order that he might not anticipate Mr . Porter , who had promised them his scheme by next Christmas ; and in the name of the Association , and of the Irish people , he declared his readiness to acquiesce in any plan which could leave the people selfgovernment—( cheers)—and "which would do away with the drain of absonteement —( cheers ) . He was of opinion that every Irish absentee shiu'd be made to bear bis portion in the expenses of the country , unless his absence was caused by ill-health —( cbejra ) . The Hon . Gentleman then at some length referred to a passage in the letter of apology

for Thursday last , sent by Mr . Sharman Crawford , wherein that gentleman expressed his regret that the Repealers had not admitted the Federal principle . Now , he agreed with Mr . Crawford in seeking for a representative body for Ireland , competent to manage her resources snd protect her rights . That was all he wanted—( cheers ) . Mr . Crawford was under a mistake , and he ( Mr . O'Connell ) told him from that spot tbat he agreed with him , and would embrace any plan to carry out that object —( cheers ) . He cared not by what ear-mark or nickname they might distinguish it —( cheers)—so as it gave Ireland to the Irish —( cheers ) . They were ready to . admit and join Federalists , and to leave thai an open question , and he , for one , could not comprehend
what kept Mr . Crawford from joining them —( hear ) . The only remaining topic he had to touch upon was the proposed " impeaohmest . " They sneered at his plan in England . It was always the case . He had never proposed anything , but in England they first had laughed at him , then abused him and it ; then th ? y vilified the measure , and himself , and its supporters , and finally he carried it —( great laughter and cheering ) . jNow he thought it would be impossible for the British ministry to resist inquiry—( cheers ) . They ] knew it was his intention , if the Association approved of it , to go through Eogland some time before Parliament met , and to state to the English people j the groundwork for the impeachment , and then ; leave them to act for themselves . He would put them in a position to act for themselves , and in full possession of the facts . Mr . S .
O Brien thought that the people of Ireland should not stoop to solicit anything from England , and be ( Mr . O'Connell )! doubted bis own judgment when ho found it opposed to that man ' s , whom he considered one of the greatest blessings ever bestowed o « Ireland —( great applause ) . He would model his plan to meet his opposition ; indeed there could be no variance between Smith O'Brien and himself , for he ( Mr . O'Connell ); would sacrifice his opinion sooner than such should be the case , unless where some great principle were staked—( cheers ) . He anticipated , therefore , ! the pleasure of that visit which the people would be prepared for by the publication of a work now nearly ready , detailing all the events of the trial in language technical , yet plain . He would thus then ; test the English people , and find out whether they would join the Eoglish Government or the Iri 3 h people—( cheers ) .
After some further remarks , the Honourable Gentleman moved that the committee appointed to consider the impeachment should have leave to sit again —( cheers ) , i He would add one word of advice to the Irish people—to persevere —( cheers ; " we will" . ) Again expressing his hope that during his brief absence ( in the country the business of the Association would be carried on with as much" order and energy as if he had continued present , the Honourable and Learned Gentleman concluded by reminding them . that it was by perseverance and order they could alone expect to succeed , and to see their country again what they all desired her to be , and what nature intended she should be" Great , glorious , and free , First flower of the earth , first gem of the sea " ( loud cheers ) . i
After some further business had been disposed of , Mr . O'Connell announced the rent for the week to be £ ( 300 12 a . 6 d . The meeting then adjourned .
