' Mr J . CotMiCK , a tenant farmer , proposed the resolutions for adoption b y the meeting . -., : ,
Ht'DoHEHt came forward , to second tao motion , and was received with loud cheers . He said , —Mr ' , Chairman , [ appear-- . here as a tenant farmer of Tipperary . ( Ciieors . ) I appear here because I have : a personal in : terest , independent of the interest I fsel for tlie country at ' this inost ' momentous crisis . ¦ lup pear'herebecauso a dark hour of danger has come upon Ireland , and beca . ua I / believeif the . pedple be > not true to 'themselves , they will baveno protectors , no safety . ( H « ar . ) i I know it has been said by the English press that this would be an illegal meeting ; and I am here , tosaj in repiy , that we dehot assemble to Ti . ilate any law ; but to ' see Justice dene to the people . ( Cheers . ) It has alto been said by the English press that this meetingis the beginning of a crusade against rents . To that I answer , and say , no ; suoh
is not due object . ( Cries of f No , no . ' ) Irery mHii here is disposed and determined topiy his rent to his landlord . I for one believe ttib landlord isentitlcd ' to obtain a fair rent for his land , but , ba'the otherhand , I ' boi licre he has ho right to an unfair rent .: ( Cheers . ) We did not come here to-day to resolve that the-landlord should not increase his rent , but . to ask his . assistance to settle this question . 'forever . ' ( Hear ) andcheers . ) ' j know thatthiscounty has obtained an unfortunate notoriety throughout the world ,- ' Iknew itba « been'said -tlint Tipperary is : HotorioUB for . its midday "¦ and mldRigl murders . I ; alio know that the direst cruelties have in most instances led to those murders ; and I askthe landlord , > s well as , the farmer , to redeem . the county from this stigma by now coming forward and entering into
an amicable agreement with one ' another . What do we ask ! ' What do the tenant fariasrs seek for ! JVe hear this and other parti of Ireland blamed , and the nertV praised ; we are often told that tlie farmers in the north are industrious and comfortable , and that . Ware wretched and idle . , We , ask to day from the landlords that . we the te nant-farmsW ' in Tipperary , shall have the same security as is enjoyed by the ^ tenants in the north of . Ireland . ( Hear / hear . ) ' We donYahd no more ; and I say firmly that we shailhesatisfied with no less . ( Cheers ) Vfe demand that tho bargain for 1 nnd shall be the same as for a horse or cow , and that if tho price of the land be given—a fair ratiopa ' l price , not settled by the land ' lord alone , but by common consent between landlord and tenant— When that fair , and reasonable ' price is given '
we demand that the lnridlord shall have no moro right to take the land / as well as the price of it , than any oihiir man in the ' community . ( Cheers . ) Inthb north oflreland , when a man gets a farm , he knows he' is secure in the possession of it so long as he pays the rent . He docs not get a lease , out ho has a title as ' good as the landlord's title tb ' the estate . The landlord cannot remove him while , he fulfils his ' engagement , ;] If the landlord vyishes for . the "farm " ho . must purchase the ' tenant ' s interest , like any other man , provided the tenant be willing to part with it , for when tho landlord parts withij the possession , hoparts with all right except his right to the rent agreed ; on , ' and the right to purchase back his own land fronV the '' tenant if lie can . And this custom is founded on the idea , the just
idea , that if the landlord has a property in the soil , ' the tenant has a more sacred property in the sweat and blood he-has expended on the farm , ( Cheers . ) Anew process is-going on now . We hoar a good ' deal' from England about tho landlords of this country . YThigsi Tories , Radicals in that country have talked a gceat deal about the Irish landlords- ^ about what they have done ,. and what they have not done . Those English parties say , 'Oh , wo will confiscate the property of the landlords . We willimpoVe a rate to support the poor which will confiscate the ' propvrty of the'landlords-of Ireland . ' Nuw what is the fact )! " Who pays the rate in the first instance I Is it not the straggling tenant !
Heia . to be ¦ sure , to be allowed his proportion of the rate when he pays his rent , but not till then . I think it may bo safely said that , as tiisses go now , the d . iyis rather remote when he \\ will be abje to pay his rent nnd meet the other demands made ' on him . I believe that another year like the past—nay , another half-year like the past—would reduce' the landlords to the sawe state of poverty as tho tenants are no \ v reduced to . , A notion has lately . become very popular ' among ' the landlords , and has been very much promulgated » mong them , and it is this—that the small tenants 6 hould be got rid of in some way or other . They are a nuisince on the earthan eyesore on the estate ; and the man who would not
cut up a tree that grows in his demesne is ready Jo root out the people whom God has created , arid : to whom he gave the world as an inheritance . ( Loud cheers ) He is ready to root them out , and too ofteidoeg be do so ^ But he is sometimes so coiapassiohate , \ mercifui , \ aind generous , that he gives them asBhtance to struggle into the emigrant ships to escape from tn » "lever at home , whereat least they would have some one to attend them in their Illness , to encounter the more fatal fever on > the bosom of theoceanV ' where lthey can get " no attendance at aU ; and tha end of this is , that thoao who endeavour to escape from sickness and death here , meet certain sickness , and doath Infar off lands , where there U no one to off . r up a prayerfdr the repose of their souls or at the last mamtnt to ' compose the members of the dying .
Thus do many of the people die—thus aro they cut off and buried in a foreign land , nil through the kindnesB . compassion , and generosity of spi » a ; or tnc lUuaiOrda . ( Hear , hear . ')! No » -, ^ m , mo peopto o ( Irelaad quietl y , tamely , and . aeutJy submit to the dltswiiction' or depori tati * i » ui * bo smaU farmers ! (' isfo , noi . ') Far b « it fromme to recommend that any : violent meanB ' snould be used to prevent the extermination or deportation of the small _ farmers . -On the contrary , I believe that vio . lent means would recoil on the heads of those who would employ them ; but I depend on the voice of the country —I rely for the protection of the small farmers on the steady , legal , powerful , and overwhelming public will oi the people . ( Cheers . ) Come you together , ' and come often . Resolve firmly , and in the face of Heaven , that
these things , shall not continue . Your , landlords . will get theirrcnts—if they can ; the Govornment will get back their advances—if they can ; and the condition of the farmers will become worse and worse until they find their last re&ting place in the poor . houso . ( Hear , hear . ) It is in your power to avert . this . Tho famine which swept away tuepcoplo by thousuudi in Cork , Galway , and Mayo , never reaofied the counties of Ulster , where there are immense numbers , of small farmerfl but " where they , are protected by ' the salutary ; wise , and be . neBcent custom of tenant-right , which we wk you here to adopt . Will you in every locality inyour county adopt that eustom & % far as you can do so without violating the law ! ( Criea of « We will . ' ) WiU jou take couBsel together , how you can quietly and peaceabl y insist on the enforcement of that right ! \ Bcliore nio . that coming here to . dayfrou » adistancato hear . speeches and choor whatever sentiments maybe agreeable to you , isnotthe way to secure your ends . Your object can only be effected
by each of you endeavouring in his own locality to carry out the resolutions of this meeting . Let eaohmau teach those principles to his neighbour , show him the true way to independence and comfort , and saj to . him-. ' Here is your home ; improve it , raise yourself , - and do not quit it . ' , ( Cheers . ) For my , part I most warml y respond to tho hopes entertained by sanguine , men for the redemp tion of tbta beautiful land ; and I say it , without any attempt ' at iiuttery , you , the tenant farmers of Ireland are tUepwpk . of M * icovratry . Ireland has no other resouree but her agriculture , and jou are the men . out of whose blood and swetti is . foraaed the only capital that Ireland has .. You are ' tkemen out of whose energies the strength of this land is . lerived , both in capital and physical power . I call on you to exercise , that strength now for the purpose of averting the last iataijcala . inlty tfeat ever befell a nation , , namely , that her children should bo banished to another clime , or sent into the poorhouse in order to jncreaso the domains
of the landlord . ( Hear . ) , It is net my purpose to make you an , exciting speech . I a : ated before that I expected no good from violence ; but I do expect every good from a determined people beco « tng banded together for a good and noblo purpose ; i lot hurried on by the impulse of the moment ; not wa before tho breath of tho popular feeling of to . day , I Ut solemuly re . solving , in the depths of their hearts , to in , ^ ton theful . filmeut of that covenant which God made > twcen the holders . and the tillers of the laud .

This property is to beyonw , Subject- , to th ' e . ; ciSiditlon , that tho tillerof tti ' e soil ihali '^ ave a ' perpVtuity as enduring as your own . ' I wonder much nt the landlords who say that the law cannot interfere with , the rights of property . This 1 / whas already interfered with a higher right of property' than that of tho landowner ; and I be . lieve the landlords are equally anxious with the tenantry that . the law should so Interfere . to tako- away from the clergy © ne-fourthof the title —( hear)—and transfer it to i ' " ' . ' . ' . .. 'JiJdS . ¦ - ' ¦ - ' " '
their own pockets . Assuredly that same law , passed by the Parliament in its omnipotence , can iaterfcro with the title of the landlord—it can say to him ; ' You nhall take this land , ; subject to the condition of giving the tenant a perpetuity in his farm as long as be continue topay the rent fixed upon hi' ( Hear , ; hoar . ) How is the rent , to be fixed upon ? At present there being no other resource but land in this country , there are at least 5 , 000 persons looking for each farm Wat is to be let , . The rent is regulated not by what the land it really worth—not by compact between landlord and tenant ( for I deny that any arrangement having necessity for the basis of it is a compact at all ) , but it Is regulated by the great competition wliicli unfortunately exists . The landlord , of cour te , takes ! advantage ; of this , nnd lets his lands
at the bighcRt prieo nbiuh a man can offer— -I . do not sny which a man can pay ; ' far in many infitanbes the unfortunate tenants are unable to diftliarge half the amount ef their extravagant tents , ( llenr , hear . ) What do I propose ! Task Parliament to interfere and pass a law immediately , or their law will come too' late ; for it is idle to suppose that this nation can endure much longer , tortured and oppressed us she is on all sides . I . will not speak of her political condition , for . I came here only to consult about the safest way of . transferring the tenant right of Ulster to ; Tippcrary . ( Loud cheering . ) I ask Parliament to interfere , and provide ' some means where , by the land can bo set at a fair rent . I think that a system , ef valuation would be the best plan that could pessibly'be adopted . . Let unbiassed persons bo selected , and
sworn on oath to discharge toe duties confided to them with impartiality—let them set a fair value onthe land , and let the Legislature say , 'So much , and notone half , pennv more , you ( the lundlora ) shall tnkn . for the land ; and further , the moment you admit a tenant into pbK ' e ' ssion , hecan havo the land as long ns joti , ' provided he continues to pay tho rent . ' I do not deny that ' a landlord may sometimes have a necessity for a certnio farm occupied by a tenant . If . he does ,-let him pay for it like another man ,: . In . Ulster the landlord can sell tho tenant right forarrears ; of rent ; but if he wishes' to , obtain possession of the holding of a man who ' pays his rent , he must purchase him out . : ( Hear , hear . ) ' I kno < v thero are many landlords listening to me-new ; I'know that many landlords acted most kindly towards tbeir tenants
during the past-year , net only indulging their tenantry , but contributing largely to the support of othcrc . I say boldly that I look upon the landlerds as a class of my tonntiynveii , ' and tlsat-1 -wou ^ d not sscriflco any class , ( Ctieem . ) ' X , Beek-, to do them no injuBtice , but the con . trary , I ask for the tillers of the soil u perpetuity of title Inithejand . they cultivate ; .- So ; far { from injuring the landlordsi thereby ; I j give them the happiness which arisesJfrom the knowlert fe of having done v ell . I give them the . comfort'ofeltting down in their homes , and ' not orily ' seeing theuiselves surrounded v by ' - evorj luxury and splendour , but of knowing ; that in no cabin on tb ' eir estate is ; there a person without a meal ; for I deny that any man caff every be content , knowing that around him death is busy at his work , rememberinp ' that though he
enjoyo every luxury . that . wealth can procure ; the men , women , and children around him are the victims ef an accidental famine . ( Hear ; : hear ) There is' another subject of considerable importance , which may bo alluded to here . LaBt year the entire potato crop was lost . The government had authentic information of that calamity early : in July : . < At , that time the cora laws were in eiis . tence , the en > ct of which was to prevent any forei gn cbrn coming , to England , in order that they nii « ht jtiean from this country every particle of her produce . Oats , batley ; and wheat were all taken away from us to the last grain , ana why V Because the government said the merchants of England must be consulted ; . A fatality followed that export of our provisions . The people . died in myriadsso fast did they perish that ia Cork a single coffin sufficed for one parish . ' . - ¦ ' ¦ . ' ' , -1 .
A Voice : Was that the coffin with the false bottom ? ( Laughter . ); ' •¦ ¦ ' ; ' ¦ Mr Doheht : Yes , that was the coffin with the false bottom ; These Whigs are very fond of economy ; they carried their practice' ' to the grave , and made a profit even out of the ' gvim produce of death ; for the eoffia that was usid to carry the father of n family to his grave one day was used to convey his wife . and children to the next .

During the time the distress was at its height in Ireland the' Enjrlish men-of-war were lying idle in the docks / and the government peremptori ' . y refused » o allow them to be used in carrj ing food to save the Irish ptople from starvation ; But the Americaaiiatiori , against whom some of us have even fought , perceived our miseries from afar , Mid determined to alkviate thorn , and their charity

I suppose no man will 8 ay that the people ought to be exposed to starvation , or that they should oie of . want for want of the food raised en their own land . Do I recommend you to keep that food by force ! Far from it . But let us combine for the oho object—the salvation of . the people . Let the landlords and tenants themselves buy up the food with their own money for one-sixth of tho price they , will have to pay if they let it leave their shores .

Ho has been false before in the hour of our need , and he cannot bo true now ; nor can we rely ob the Parliament , forit is the Pitrlinmcntof England , not oftheeinptre . ; It will be idle and useless to call upon it for assistance for it would not heed us—it hat but little concern for us . The few Irish member i who go there and speak the truth are scoffed at , and even if nil the Irish members attended there daily , and mai ' eout the best and most conclusive case for their country , they are too few in number , and would be outvoted b y tho British political economists , who would again sentence the people to starvation . Well , have we the means of protecting ourselves at home ! I say that wo can protect ourselves if we please ; Not only should thero be found enough left iu each parish to feed the people , but to provide seed for next yeari - Some of the landlords boasted
last year , what they would ids on this point . One nble landlord in this county ; Mr Bernal Osfeorne , promised the fiiKncrs ou bis estate time for the seed of an . aero of Swedish' turnipB ( laughter ) ,, and of course the EBglish pviiss wnslovia in praise of his generosity .

• 'That the ttnunt right above referred to is as follows :: that is to say , Hint any person pr parties now having , and holding the actual poss « s « lon ' aud occupation ef anyportion ef the soil of this countay , shall be deemed and taken to have a permanent and perpetual possession ef the same , for and during so long aa he shall continue to pay such rent as shall be fixed and determined by the adjudication and award of sworn arbitrators , or other fairly constituted and impartial tribunal ; such adjudication arid award to he made and given on such principles , and in suchmode ns may hereafter be determined by convention and agreement between the landlord and oecupitr . ¦ ¦• ' ' ' .

That any law regulating the relation of landlord and tenant in Ireland , to be ju > , t , satis , factory , and enduring , should be based on the principles of tenant right as established and prevailing in the province of Ulster , and should recognise the tenant ' s interest in the soil ns a perpetuity , provided he pay a fair and reasonable rent to the landlord .

A WOMAN KILLED BZ I 1 ER HUSBAND . A dreadful affair occurred at Manchester on Saturday evening . A man , named ThoinSs Cawley , Employed at the Farm-yard Tavern , BrSdford-road , lived with his wife , who ia named Eliz : i , ' 'and fouf children , at a , small house , No . 6 , SwaUow ' s-court , Bradford-road . On his return home between six and seven o ' clock , he found his wife absent , and do tea got fer himself or children . He made tea himself , and while partaking of it his wife entered . He reproached her with not setting his tea : eadv . Sh »
replied with bitter tauuts . Words ran high between them , and at length the man ' s passion was raised to such a pitch , that lie rushed towards his wife witU the intention of Btrikieg her . An interference , of course well meant , on the part of a neighbour , neavly prevented , but that in all probability was the cause of the death of the wife ; for Cawley , prevented from chastising his wife as ho originally intended , raised his fiiot and gave one kick , which appears to have been just within reach of the person of his . wite . That one blow was enough . The poor creature felt herself mortally hurt , entreated that a doctor might be sent for , sank upon the sofa , and notwithstanding that medical assistance was very shortly obtained , died in about three-quarters of an hour afterwards . There is no reason to suppose that he intended tbe kick he aimed at his wif e should cause hor death , for the moment he perceived she wan hurt he showed the greatest contrition , went far
the doctor , and probably would have given worlds to recall the blow ; and no doubt whatever exists that he suffered great provocation from his wife ; bust surely no amount ofprovocation can justify the inhuman , ferocious kit-king of a defenceless woman . Seeing the fatal reeult of his passion , the husband , by the advice of his neighbors , went and delivered teSS i ? .
