evening , at nair-past eight o ' clock , the members ot this society assembled in . the Temperance Hal ] , Broadway , to debate on the " Influence of the Political Works of Thomas Paine . " Mr Cathie in the chair , Mr Bowler vice-president . The chairman introduced Mr Walford to open the discussion . Mr W . spokeastothe many good effects the political writinRs of that immortal patriot , Thomas Paine , had effected , in America . Did he not , by writing his" Rights of Man , " spur the Americans on in their struggle for independence—in their light for the possession « f those ri ghts so necessary to human existence ? Did he not , by his work called the American Crisis , " inflame the hearts of those who
were lethargic * and did he not create a desire for liberty , for independence , and for Republicanism-a desire that was almost extinct ? He told them that "that was the time to try men ' s souls ; " and every nun rallied , fought , bled , and conquered . Such had been the influence of Paine ' g works in America ; and he considered that much credit was due to him at the time of the French Revolution ; much was also due to him for bis endeavours generally to circulate a corrrecr notion among the people as to what really were their natural rights . -He . tbldthe P * ° p w the land was theirs , and they ought te possess it . And one great reason why the people did not possess the land was . he thought , because the works of ; that great man , Thomas Paine , had been
nrohimted-had been excluded from the sight of the poor man , lest he might see the miserable position he w » reahy n , and lest he would find the remedy so easy of attainment that the Government would be m danger ^ -the State would be in danger-in short , that he might rise from his degraded state to a position of independence . Mr W . commented much upon the prohibition of Paine ' s works , and sat down , at th « conclusion of an excellent speech , much applauded . -Mr Cathie followed , and deprecated Paine as a bad man-a man who only wrote for popularity . M * Trumble defended the immortal philanthropist toom the uncharitable attack of « i ? i . S I * M * Broome leverely castigated Mr Cathie for his way illiberal speech . Mr Bowler next spoke , and . was followed by Mr Stevens . Mr Jabep Inwards ( Temjwiance Missionary ) railed very muchagainst the political donnas of Thomns Paine .
contending tbat the roorai and social condition of a people 4 id not depend upon the government of that people ; He would challenge any one to prove the contrary . Mr Broome rese , and , in accepting the general challenge givea Jby Mr Inwards , would prove the superiority of Republican over Monarchical Governments . Mr Inward * * aid he would undertake to diaeuss with Mr Broome , himself maintaining the position " that Monarchical Governments are far superior to Republican Governments . " L We . understand that thesetwo gentlemen have agreed to make atrangeraents for the holding of a public discugaion , «^ an early period , i » theabove subject . ] A motion of adjournment was made and earned , f he subject" Tie Influences of the Polltical Works of Thomas Paine "—will , therefore , be JH ?

IRISH CONFEDERATION . At a highly respectable meeting of Confederates , held at Cartwright ' s Coffee-house , Redcross-street , Citv of London , on Sunday , Aprilsthe 18 th , the following address to the Council of the Irish Confederation , ( moved ^ byaMr Clancy , and , seconded by Mr Divain )'; waB adopted . Mr Regan , chairman . . " Genbubmbk , — r .... ' As ; raen , seeking by every justand legitimate means , rational and constitutional freedom , as unwilling bondsmen of corrupt class distinction—mtho absence of all nauseous , or tutored adulation , and in the exercise of civil right , guaranteed by the rules of the 'Confederation to its members—we respectfully address its esteemed Council .
Fully sensible of our country's degradation , of her desperate position , and of her utter rain under British legislation , and keenly alive to the sense of justice so intuitively inscribed on' our cards ot membership , namely— " Every man should nave his own country . ; " we pledge ourselves to u » every political , « ocial , and moral influence within oar power to have our own country—to have it governed by Irishmen fully and fairly represented by Irishmen , and , if needs be , defended by Irishmen , in support of the throne of these realms ; but of what avail would it be to a man to haye his own country , if , upon having it ; he still discovered that he was deprived of his inalienable rights—an unrepresented bondsman in that country—when his social , political , and moral influence would be a nonentity , or so totally estranged or
diverted from its natural channel as to compose a system of serfdom for a rapacious borough-monpering faction , who once had a country to sell , and sold it ? And so we find that the yoke of internal injustice and intolerance was net more sweet to the majority of our countrymen in other days than it is in our own by the laws of me stranger . In the Address of the Delegates ot 272 Corps of volunteers at Dungannon , we find the following passage : — " Through her four provincial assemblies let Ireland ' s temperate declarations flow to one common centre , ana there , matured into an extensive plan of reform , be produced as the solemn act of the volunteer army ef Ireland , as a demand of rights , robboc of which , the unanimated forms of a free government would be a curse , and existence itself cease to be a blessinir ! " .
Yet do we freely admit that tinder the volunteer system , or partial will of the people , Ireland enjoyed a greater amount of prosperity than at any other period , and it is an additional impetus to contend for thei " fulland equal representation of the people of Ireland . " . ¦> We find also that the representatives of 31 corps assembled in Belfast . Resolved— "That they would not associate with any regiment at the intended review , which should continue under the command of officers who opposed Parliamentary Reform . " The United Irishmen , too , in their address , called an " equal representation of the people in Parliament' a great measure essential to the f reedom and prosperity of Ireland . t The following are some of their principles as stated in their unequivocal and straightforward profession of political faith : —
# Resolved—" That the weight of English influence in the government of this country is so great as to require a cordial union among all the people of Ireland ; that the sole constitutional mode by which this influence can be opposed is by a complete and radical reform of the representatives of the people in Parlia . ment .. . . » . ' V u at no reforra "Practicable , efficacious , or justj tbat shall not include Irishmen of every religious persuasion . ¦ ' That every man possessing the right of suffrage for a representation in Parliament , should exercise it in las own person only . " That every male pfeoiind mind who has attained the age of 21 years , and actually dwelt or maintained a family establishment in any electoral for six months of the twelve immediately previous to tke commencement ot the election , ( providing his residence , or maintaining a family establishment bs duly registered ) should be entitled to vote for the representation of the electorate .
' That all elections in the nation should commence and close on the same day . " That no property qualification should entitle any man to be a representative . ,. " That representatives should receive a reasonable stipend tor their services . " That every representative should , on taking his seat , swear that neither he nor any other person , to promote his interest , with his privity , gave , or wasto glve ? 3 y bri " e for tne suffrage of any voter . " That any representative convicted by a jury of having acted contrary to the substance of the above oath , shouid be for ever disqualified from sitting or voting in Parliament ; "That Parliaments should be annual . " They furthermore utate in their
address"We have gone to what we conceive to be the root of the evil ; we have stated what we conceive to be the remedy . With a Parliament thus formed , everything is easy—without it , nothing can be done ; and we do call on , and most earnest ^ exhort our country men in general , to follow our example , and form similar associations in every quarter of the kingdom . We also beg to call the attention of the Council to the profession of political faith , put forth by the Loyal National Repeal Association " in which we find the following : — ^ Resolved— " That in addition to the great object we have m view , as ancillary to , and proraotive of the great cause of Repeal , we shall ever struggle for those just objects of national solicitude . Firstly— Fortheextensionof thesufirage . tobe characterized solely b y manhood ; that is to say , the extension ot the suffrage to every male adult who has attaincd the full age of 21 years , and who has not been convicted of crime , or affected with mental
derangement . " Secondly—For the vote by ballot , without which voting cannot be free from corruption or intimidation . " Thirdly—For shortening the duration of Parliament , so as not to exceed in any case three years . " Fourthly—For the equalisation of electoral districts . . , , . ¦ •; . " Fifthly—For the abolition of the absurd property qualifications in England and Ireland . , : " Resolved—That we make this public profession of
our principles , as reformers , concomitant with our fixed , unalterable , and nererrtcbe-relaxed determination for Repeal ; in order to prevent any species of mistake or delusion respecting our principles and practices . To those principles put forward by O'Connelland the Loyal Repeal Association , we have ever been faithful adherents ; and although we desired a modification ot its usages and rules , we have never for a moment contemplated the extinction or subversion of ' those just principles of national solicitude . '"
We have quoted these passages not for the information of the Council , whom we know are already cognilantofthemj but to show that Irishmen have no occasion te learn a lesson of rights from any other nation ' s vocabulary but that which has been written by the worthies of their own land—a ; vocabulary of rights , on which some of her ablest and most devoted sons have sworn , " even to the death , " "to persevere in their endeavours to obtain an equal , full , and adequate representation of all the people o » Ireland . "
That . vocabulary- has been transmitted to our sacred keeping , sealed by the warm and devoted blood of patriotic manhood ! And if it be so , that the spirits of tho illustrious dead are ever permitted to look down on our earthly struggles , it will be at that moment when those whom we now address are about to declare , whether we are a race of men who will sulty the brightest gem in their crown of martyrdom , or give fresh lustre to their names—their devotion , their eloquence , and their glory ! Denying as we do the power of the Irish
parliament to transfer the rights of the people , in defiance of that people—deny ing also the right of the British Legislature to make laws binding on the Irish , people founded on the " RemuBeratory Act" ( 23 Geo . 3 , o . 28 ) . enacted in 1783 , by which it was declared and enact «" : — "That the right claimed by the people of Ireland to be bound only by laws enacted by nis Majesty , and the parliament of that kingdom , in all cases whatsoever should be , and was thereby de-« lared to be established , and ascertained forever , « nd should at no time thereafter be questioned , oi questionable . " : . - ¦ ¦
W « are not disposed to bsg a right from , au . incompetent or a reluctant donor ; but seeing that all political leaders ot our countrymen have from time to time declared in favour of the people ' s enfranchisement , we trust it is not too much to expect from the Council of the Irish Confederation a similar pledge of good faith , ih order to " prevent any species , of mistake or delusion respecting oar principles and practices . " ¦»' . • - . ~ .. " ; In order also that not only the people of Ireland * but of the whole world , may know the relative position in which they , the people of Ireland , may stand in connection with those who are destined to be truly
worthy of their confidence and exeftions , by realising their oltsmitten but undying hof , 'es ; also , as taxation without representation js unjust , and as all men are taxed either directly or indirectly i . « support of the state—we contend that every man tisoniid mind of twenty-one years of age , and imconvic . ted of crime , should be entitled to vote at the general election . If , then , the Legislature has no right to tax the unrepresented people of Ireland , we contend , An the same principle , that it is a civil grievance for , Wf body of Irishmen to call for the exertions , aid , apo claim the support of a too-confiding people , without ' even a declaration of their natural privileges to full and equal representation .
We therefore have felt it our duty as Irishmpn thus respectfully to address the Council of the Irish Confederation , hoping it will take this our anneal into its serious consideration , with a view to effect a

Sir , —I have on severalocoasions been allowed the privilege of advocating the rightsofman . and exposing the ini quity of his oppressors , through the agency of youMnvjiluablo columns 1 have never sought to occupy , them on a more interesting or important occasion thanthe present . The Chartists of England , ' ever foremost in as , sisting the efforts of human progress , hailed the secession of the mere earnest Repealers from the foul and corrupt Whig worshippers and place-hunters of Conciliation llall-they " were not prepared to find that the men who h d so loudly protested against the stifling of public opinion , and the suppression of letters inimical to the interests of - .., . ...
the place-jobbers , would themselves , the moment they had acquired a little popularity and a modicum of power , resort to oxactly the same nefarious practices of which they accused and convicted their predecessors . The following correspondence will however , prove that this 13 actually the case . I joined ' their confederacy , because I am a sincere advocate of home legislation , and because I understood , both by their printed fundamental rules . and by aconversation held in their Council-room , in which Mr Meaeher and others took part , that men of ultra , or even on . poring ^\ i \ m { tm other points ) , were admis ; able provided they subscribed the simple te st—Repeal I distinctly claimed for myself then , however , the right of defence , in case the principles I advocated
were assailed ; this was pronounced "fair , " and I became a member , contrary , I must confess , to the advice of some pewons of greater political , prcsoience than myself , who foretold that the new , without half its pretensions , would prove as complete adehsion as the old movement . I was willing , however , to believe better of the Young Ireland party , and would have united faithfully and strenuously with them , as a citizen and an elector , had not paragraphs gratuitously offensive to Chartism been repeatedly inserted in the Nation newspaper , and had not Mr Mea 4 her , at a recent meeting of the Confederation held in the Music Hall here , thought proper to harangue , in his usual florid style , on the advantages of the present
state ot society as opposed to Democracy . I could not lonserplay the traitor to my own principles and foolishly thoughtthatas he had travelled from Repeal to bepraise Aristocracy , / , as a fellow-member of the same body , might at least be allowed publicly to register my ; dissent from Ma pompously-expressed opinions . I had , however , no notion of withdrawing from the Confederation / if fair play was allowed , but I resolved to try the temper of the men who have undertaken to achieve nationality . I , therefore , enclosed my subscription ^ a proof of my devotion to the cause of Repeal ; and sent with it the followin < Metter as a demonstration of my independence : — TO WH . HAMUL , ESQ ., » ECEETARt TO THE 1 R 1 BH
CONFEDERATION . Dublin , 24 , North King-street , April 22 , 1847 . Dear Sir , —Admiring the devotedness and integrity of the great mass of its members , as well as the ability displayed by Us conductors , I hastened to join the ranks of the Irish Confederation as soon as they were opened tome ; being most anxious to co-operato in the agitation for Repeal , from which I had been early excluded , on account of entertaining certain opinions regarding the elective franchise not in accordance with those at that particular period recommended by Mr O'Connell . To the cause of Repeal , however , I have ever been ardently attached , and , as a test of my sincerity , I now beg to add ray mite ( £ 1 ) to the national treasury . When I joined your body , however , I aid imt censi ler that I sur .
rendered one jnt of my convictions as to the ne . cessity of a for deeptr change in the political contraction of society than your movement contemplates . But I was willing in my anxiety to practically promote the interest of my country , to work in your harness for Repeal , preserving on other subjects a neutrality which I expected would have been mutual . Inm snrryto say this compact has not been observed , and I muit tnlca this opportunity of protesting in the strongest manner ngainst effurts . on the part of your public speakers or accredited press , to endamage the honest cause of democracy : a course of conduct sadly at variance with tho « e des » rved laudations so copiously showered on the noble American people , whose manly virtues , I have no hesitation in asserting , may be fairly
traced to the happy form of government under which they live . That form of government ( alas I ) we can scarcely hope to see established in this country ; but we can approximate to it by conferring on every man the right tovote in the election of mombers of the House of Commons , and , in » ny settlement of the great Irish question , I should feel it my imperative duty to second tbe efforts of Mr James Haughton , or any other individual of equal influence and ability , to obtain for the people their just proportion of political power . Others may find much to admire in that artificial state of society which rhetoric delights to describe as made up of "Corinthian columns" and " elahorated architraves , " of which the unenfranchised and oppressed people are " the foundation and . the base" ( and may not that epithet be
fairly predicated of any people who willingly submit to belegisktea for by those over whom they have no control ?) . I , for one , prefer tlie more ancient and the simpler Doric order , where the architrave is pl » in , and where the column rpquires no base to assist its elevation . One other part sf your policy I also take the liberty of impugning . I cannot sec the wisdom which , soliciting sympathy from ercry other state in Europe , rejects , - and that contumeliously , the advances of the brave English working-classes ; a junction with 'whom , we have the authority of Mr Sheil ( gee hisfipcccVi in defence of Mr O'Connell at the late State trials ) for asserting , would prove a difficulty too great for any minister to encounter , and would , of course , be the readiest way to repeal the Udon ' .
Trusting that these , my cnnrtW exceptions to tne line of policy pursued by the conductors of the Confederation , will be received in the same spirit" in which they have been penned .
I remain , my dear Sir , yours very sincerely , W . H . Dtott . Having waited for two publications of the Nation , and finding that no notice was taken of the above , beyond the bare acknowledgment of the subscription , I thought it necessary to send the following : — 24 , North King-street , May 1 st , 1847 . Mr W . Hamill , - Deab Sib , —To you , as the official organ of the Irish Confederation , I beg leave to address the following remarks : — .
I sent you nearly a fortnight since a subscription ( in this day ' s Nation acknowledged ) with a letter respectfully protesting against certa ' n ^ ntiments uttered by one of your most brilliant speakers at a late meeting in the Music Hall , also animadverting upon certain parts of your policy which I considered inconsistent and detrimental . I make no apology for thus freely and fully expressing my thoughts and opinions on matters which concern me as nearly as any other member of tke Confederation . Yoviv council have thought proper to suppress that letter ; thus furnishing a perfect parallel to the unmanly and dishonest conduct oUhe body from which they lately—so honourably to themselvesseceded . :
I cannot submit to this : even at the risk of being charged with " miserable vanity" I refuse to accord to the domination of any clique of political parvenus what they would not permit to the patriarchal authority of Mr O'Connell . I am obliged , therefore , however reluct , antly , in vindication of my own independence , and , as 1 believe , of the common right of liberty and free exprei . ( ion of thought , to request that you will remove my humble name from the list of members . Whether your ceuncil will think it just to restore me ray monies—advancedon the supposition that I was : placing it in fair and impartial hands—will be a matter to be determined by their own exquisite taste and pfofdunder judgment . lam , my dear Sir , with best acknowledgments for your courtesy at alUim ' es , sincerely yours , _ . ¦ ¦¦¦ ¦ W . H . Dvott . lo this I received the following reply . — Council Rooms , 9 , D'OHer-street , ; _ _ 1 st May 1847 .
, . Dear Sib—I had the honour of reading jour com . munication of this date addressed tome as Secretary of the Confederation tothe Council , this fliy . lam directed by the Council to comply with jour r « - queBt that your name should be erased from the list Of members of the Confederation . They ajeo desire me to return you your subscription enclosed in your letter of the 22 nd A pril . "¦ You complain of the " suppression" of that letter . The Council wish ms to say that your letter was not •; suppressed "—thatit was read to the Council , according to tbe usual course—that they have not been in the habit of pub'ishing letters of adhesion—and that in your instance they saw no reason to depart from their accustomed practice . I have the honour tobo ,
¦ . . Your obedient servant , TqW . H . Dyott , Esq .., "Wk . H / tKH , t , Sec . , 24 , North King-street : Now , with regard to this flimsy shuffle , it is just sufficient to state : 1 st ; That my letter was not a letter'of " adhesion . " I had given inmyadhesien a month previously . My letter was one of deprecation and "remonstrance . " > It was not flung out of the window , I believe , but I know it was treated witu supercilious aud contemptuous injustice . 2 nd It is a miserable quibble , " a transparent hurabuR , " to assert that this letter was not " suppressed ; " because it was read to the Council . TVhy , is not this exact y what these young gentlemen complained of in the old Association ?
Their ^ leifcrs w ^ 3 ' « ad n committee , but they were not read at the pubS meetings , and they were studiously kept out of the public prints . What is the difference between tSa council and that committed ? h not their constitua S ' ar » nd their conduct the same ?

THE OLD AND YOUNG IRELANDERS REVELATIONS EXTRAORDINARY . Doblw . —A placard , of which the subjoined ia ft copy , is posted all over the city of Dublin .

The clerks , spies , informers / bullies , blackguards , and collectors of Conciliation Hall , are scattered over the country in various departments . A grcafe number of Uiem have joined the detective forceothers are in the City Police establishment , but the greater number have got appointments on the publio works ; and , from their knowled ge of the country and acquaintance with the credulous character of the people , are ready to fill the office of Wliig spies , should circumstances require their services in that line .
lheloung Ireland party , seeing the Liberal distribution of Whig places , and knowing that they were as well , if not better , qualified to fill them , waxed a little jealous , and began to exhibit strong symptoms of a desire to be reconciled to the more fortunate party . A truce was therefore proposed and agreed to : hostilities ceased . The sham-battle of the torces was put in abeyance for the while . The leaders met . All Ireland and the Hill " of Howtb . trembled with anxiety to hear the result of the mighty conference . Now , said Fiddledum to Fid . dkdee , this you can plainly see , tbat all good places must be given to my friends and me . Well ! said Uiddledee to Fiddledum , but we shan ' t admit

They will see what we are at , and would , no doubt , oppose it . They , in a word , are so trained and practised in political science , that they will take no part in any agitation but that which will confer direct rights upon themselves . The fact u , we cannot delude themandthereforewe can
, , , have nathing to do with them . ( Cheers . ) Nor can we have any connexion with our mutual enemies , the truculent Tories- ( hear , hear , )—nor with the Whigs as a party . ( Great cheering . ) But , gentlemen , there is a party which we can consistently and ad « yantageonsly support ; and that party is , gentlemen ,, the party , whether it be Whig or Tory , t hat will allow Ireland to persevere in " a peaceful , whole , some agitation , " so as to enable tbe leaders to become so formidable to any administration that that administration will be forced to give all the Irish places ef profit , honour , and emolument to the Repeal agitators . ( Hear , hear . ) For you see , gentlemen , that » 3 soon as one class of Repeal is
patriots provided for , another elass of patriotic agitators will arise , and thus you see we shall soon have all the public offices filled with our friends , which is the end and object of our agitation ; and which my great sire , my noble father , alwaysmeant when he spoke of " Justice to Ireland . ( Hear , hear . ) ¦ v Mr Dbehie , one of the Young Irelandera , rose and said , 1 agree in all that has been said by the son of the great giant , whom we all followed ; but 1 am , nevertheless , anxious to know who or what Irish party shall have the patronage ? on whose recommendation shall the good places be given ? shall we have a ballot for placet ? er shall each party recommend their own men ? . He of the mixed race , half
Norman , half Coast of Guinea-man , said , No ballot that smells of Chartism . lam no democrat , but a real Irish aristocrat , though my face is tawny and my head is woolly . Litile JoasNi replied : None Bhall have the patronage but my father , the leader of his hereditary bondsmen , or myselt , his son , and approved successor to the leadershi p . Here the stprm commenced ; crimination and recrimination followed in boisterous succession . The noise and confusion beggar description ; the loutig Inlanders roaringout , "Atrap , a delusion . a Mockery , a snare to ruin tbe nation / Z be meeting then broke up , both parties agreeing that the real question at issue-should not be made public , as both were equally interested in deluding th « Irish people .
