In 1832 he had eat night afttx night to oppose the Coercion and other bills brought forward ij the very parties -who now appeared to oppose them . He called upon ! hia countrymen -who had been driven by the tyranny of the

They had also another MJ * . on the platform , whe in good or in bad -weather had always stool by thB -working classes . That man-was Thomas Dnncombe , Esq . — [ lond cheers ) —and -without exaggerating he believed he might safely say that if the majority of the jlrish nation demanded Bepeal , Mr . JJoncombd wonldj be ready to concha it . Tha -whole nation did demand it ; and he
cautioned them not to make a bad use of the present meeting . Be thanked God that although the onion had been once passed , it was no condemnation to Ireland : because tfeey appealed from Ireland drunk to Ireland sober . There -was no statute of limitation for a peopled rights ; and if there -was , theymuit prove that the compact had been adhered to . 1 The -whole eight articles cf the Union had been violated ere the fet with whica they ¦ were written was dry . It might o : ce have been difficult to have risen an agitation fox Rspeal , if justice had been granted : but new it "was too late . How was that Uaion achieved ? j Wa » itnot vrhen the withering blast of corruption hadparaljzad the arm of irdnstry and crimsoned the green . fields of Ireland -with the blood of her children ; then was the Union
-wafted across the tainted Atlantic gale , and forced npon & defenceless people -when the ; guardianB ^ of her glory ¦ rare either consicned to a grave , or banished their native land : Englishmen could not feeljas Irishmen . They -wanted no pitch and toss -work—( cheers and laughter ) . They -wanted a Reptal of the Union , and a man to carry in his own person the title deed to the fiacehise . Give iliem these things , and rtliey "would speedily deal satisfactorily and with jnstiee to the Protestant Chnrch . They tron ! d say to h ' er , you have blighted and made sterile a fertile land . ; you have dsbxsed cur lovely plains with blood ; go I and do penance by being in future good and holyr \ As lovers of Ireland , they -were called npon to do something definite . They could expecct no justice from an English
Parliament The lisping of an opposition destitute vf power -would but lialo benefit them . ; They had bees sBorchtd npon both sides . They bad been in the ; rate , and in the fander ; and it was time to get out of tfce fire altogether . He -web asked , " wonld he sacrifice the English Chnrch" ? H 9 asked in return , " why iras the Catholic Chnrch sacrificed" ? Surely it -was more just , if a sacrifice mnst be m&tJe , that it sbonld be of 600 , 000 , than of 8 , 000 , 000 : ana if it was a sacrifice , it would bB only of temporalities , and not of faith ; -which would make the Church more holy , moT © in accordance -with the doctrines of Us great founder . It -was almost an insult to his countrymen , after their iosg-contincance in veil doing , to remind them of their duty ; but Ireland -was -watching that meeting vrith
intense anxiety . If that meeting declared for some petty *• jnstice" for Ireland , ana not for Repeal , it -would be a dealh-blovf to the R ? peal question in England . He trurted they -would not part nntil they had incorporated the Repeal in the Address to the Queen . Mr . O'ConncT then concluded , amidst tumultuous applause Mr . Ruffet Rtdi-XT rose to propose' an amendment , but-was met with determined opposition by Mr . FsrTkT , and others of the Committee , who asserted that owing to Mr . F . not being an inhabitant of the Borough , he could not move an amendment . Stir . Ridley maintained his claim as paying tent in the Borough , and after considerable confusion , and a vain attempt to get a good hearing , he handed the following amendment to the Chairman , -who read it to the meeting : —
" That in ths opinion of this meeting , the conduct pnrsned by the present and late Government towards the siBter state ef Ireland , has been nnjnst and tyrannical ; and -we are further of opinion that the Irish nation has an undoubted Tight to lid itself of the oppressor ' s yeke hi any way -which may seem most fitting to itself . We therefore -most cordially sympathize with them hi Iheir endeavours t& procure a Repeal of the Legislative Union , and -will co-operate with them to the furthest extent in our power . " '¦ Order having been restored , Mr . Ridley spoke at Soros lexgth iv favour of the amendment , and warned tbfem lest they again fell into tire bands of the bloodstained factions . He thought the present meeting was a feeler , pnt forth by the Whigs ; and he trusted tbey -woitd defeat ! it and vote for the amendment and " Repeal . "
Mr . Fcssell seconded the resolution , but was na ^ ble to obtain an hearing , in consequence of the call for Mx . Dnncombe . ' Mr . T . DuncoMBE , M . P . said hs had felt Ik his duly to attend that meeting , mot only because he had been invited to do so by the Committee -who made the arrangements for holding it , but because be bad also received an invitation from the -working clasres—( cheers ) . He -would assure them , that if that meeting had been intended to be a Whig meeting be , would not have been there to take part in endeavouring t » bolster sp that old , and he hoped defunct policy . ; They were there , he trusted , fox much higher and nobler object *; they were there to declare as Englishmen , i -whether in this crisis of tha wrongs of the insulted and injured of
j ^ eople Ireland , they would range themselves on the aide of then- oppressors , or whether justice should ba done both to the people of England and of Ireland . He regretted that the last resolution had nit been moved as an addition to the former one , aa they were not in ihe least inconsistent with each other . What did it declare Why , that if the people of Ireland felt that they « oold have no redress 1 or theia wrong * without it , they had a light to demand the Repeal of the Unionihear , and cheers ) . That -was his opinion—( hear , hear ) . They had a jnst right to demand the Repeal of an Act of Parliament ( A female in the meeting , " And we'll have it" ) ( Laughter . ) This Act of Parliament was concocted in fraud and executed in injustice ; and ihe Irish had a right to demand its repeal . > They had
heard that the Government would go to war with Ireland rather than concede the Repeal . In fact , gentlemen in the House of Commons talked of civil war -with Ireland , -with as much ltryity , sod vrith aa much glee , as they -would pus a Turnpike Sill or vote a Royal pension' —( hear ) . But they onghfc to recollect thai in conducting a civil war , or any other war , the Government mart have the consent and ' cordial cooperation of the people to carry it on —( hear , hear ) Was the country prepared to support a civil -wax with Ireland , in order to continue the injustice of her rulers ? —hear , hear ) . Were they prepared to do so in order to bolster up a Tory Administration , which was the laughing stock of Ireland , cud the contempt of England ? He was quite satisfied that tha people of England vrould say from one end of England to-the other , that on ths very first shot which this despicable Qnvemsent shsold fire , tie vsry firatsword which should
be staiiitd with Irish blood , the civil wax would not be confined to Ireland—( loud cheers . ) The people of this country had a long account to settle with former Governments ; and instead of joining in this unholy crusade against their Irish fellow-subjects , they are much more likely to unite hands with Ireland , in resenting their mutual oppressions and in redressing their mutual wrongs . With regard to the question to be settled by the meeting ; if the resolution did not convey to the peeple of Ireland lhat they had a right to demand Repeal , be hoped they -would pass the amendment ; taougb , bethought that the amendment 3 night have been vtry properly added to the resolution , as they-were perfectly consistent with each other . At all events he trusted that they shonld not permit aiiy -war to be levied , for tha purpose of depriving a noble and generous people of those lights and' privileges , which both the constitution and their own intelligence entitled them to to demand . —( Great cheering . )
Mr . Fcssell rose for the purpose of stating that bs and bis friend had ao objection the to amendment being pnt as an addition to Ihe resolution . The Irish people wers told by their influential leader , O'CocEell—( cheers )—that he had no hope from the Imperial Parliament ; that his only hope "Was in having power placed in the hands of the people . The gentlemen on the platform said this wonld destroy the isficencc and ^ s ^ « f ths British empire . To what good or holy purpose had British dignity or influence ever been employed ? Had not the British Government joined in every tyrannical and unholy scheme ? Was she not looked npon as an oppressive tyrant "by sazrowi $ ixig nations ? The Repeal of the Union would-break and divide the strength of ihe aristocracy ; and if it did . nought else , that alone made it worth while to seek for a Repeal of the Union .
Mr . Hatkes having been lt « dly called for , recommended them , although in a Riding School , not to gallop too fast ; but t » sgrte to receive the amendment as an addition , Por the last eleven years be had devoted his services to the « anse of Ireland ; and he denied . that Repeal ms the cry of despair , ' or lha wail of agony , it -ifaa the cry of hope , the assertionof confidence , and the opening dawn of a glorious future . Mr . Daniels had said that " jnstice to Ireland" would prostrate ths standard of Repeal ; but the meeting convinced him that he was no * ¦ Daniel aoroe to judgmEnt . ' Mx . a then alluded to the dismlesal of magistrates . It seemed an emblem that if they -were to have xw justice , they -were also to have no justices . He al * o commented upon the ignorance displayed by Government legardlng Ireland ; and expressed bis pleasure at seeing so many M-P's present ; trusting fss& ^ sisss ^ '* - tteIr Totei

Mr . R Owek attempted to address the assembly , but there "was so much noise in the body of tha meeting , which ¦ vraa notv packed to suffocation , that he could not obtain a bearing . , , Mr . Ktezer ., of Tottenham-csurt-road , next addressed the meeting in a spirit which excited a good deal of merriment , but ci which v * e could not collect a single sentence , not only on account of the xoaifl of langhter viiS which he was interrupted , but the peculiar articulation of the speaker . Mr . Owen again presented -himself . Ab we
understood , he wished the meeting to inquire what were the causes of thrckcitcmtnt -winch prevailed in Scotland , Wales , Englania , and Ireland ? He aake 4 what was the cause thai , in the midst of all abundant means of wealth , there was so much distress and misery , tgnorance , disorder , and starvation . The meeting became bo impatient and noisy that it vfaB impossible to gather more than that Mr . Owen contended thai by their nnlon the people bad in their own power the means of terminatig their misery , and changing the face of the country and ihe state of society , te peace , happiness , and abundancei .
The CHAIKMAN then read ihe resolution by itself and also -with ? the amendment aa sd addition ; a tew words having been left opt to prevent tautology . When the vote was taken , almoat every band was held np for the motion with the addition ; while not a dozen appeared for the original resolution . This decision was received with tremendous cheering . Mr . Bakee moved the following resotution : " That this meeting has heard with deep regret the opinion avowed by the principal Secretary of State for the Home Department , < that concession towardB the Irish people had reached its limits , ' from which they are led to apprehend the adoption of a course of coercive policy towards Ireland , which can have no other effect than to exasperate the feelings without removing the discontents of out fellow subjects in that country . " ¦
Mr . Baker expressed his hope that the Act of Union might be Repealed by a better act , and his belief that the ptople of Ireland would feel delighted when they heard that thousands of the inhabitants of the Metropolis had made a demonstration on then * behalf . Mr . Savage seconded the resolution . Saving been many years connected -with the Chartist body , he had Btatedhis belief that Sir B . Hall would act fairly in the chair , and that if they dealt fairly by the Chartists , they -would not regret calling a public meeting in the Borough of Marylebone . Sir Chaeles Napier , M . P . for the Borough , supported the resolution in a sailor-like speech ; but happening to faU fonl of the Repeal question , be was speedily sent to the right about , amid considerable dissatisfaction . ' : The ifcBoYntion was unanimously earned . Mr . SilABT ^ -moved the third and fourth resolutions combined , a 3 *> llowB : —
" That tbia meeting considers that the present State of feeling in Ireland is to be attributed to & long-continued system of injustice in all'departments of Government ; to the maintenance ef an extravagant State Church , which : the people of that country are compelled to support , while it prescribes a forn of worship not in accordance with the religious feelings of a great majority of the popnlation ; to tho extremely defective state of the elective franchise and the municipal lavrs ; and to the unsatisfactory state of the laws relative to landlord and tenant And that a memorial be addressed to her Majesty , embodying the foregoing resolutions , praying that she may be pleased to take
the same into her moat gracious consideration , that a Stop may be put to coercive measures ; that such » wise , just , and conciliatory policy may be promoted as will advance both Political and Ecclesiastical Reform ; that her Majesty will give to her Irish subjects an equality of laws with Great Britain ; and confer respect on those laws by securing the impartial distribution of justice ; and should the Government not immediately propose to Parliament such measures as may tr&nqailise the present disturbed state of Ireland , by placing all classes cf that country upon an equality with their fellow-subjects of Great Britain ; this meeting further praya her Majesty to dismiss her present advisers , and appeal to the sense of the people . "
Mr . Smythe seconded the resolution , in a speech of considerable ability . SHAS . 3 U . S < 7 BAWF 0 fio , Jf . P ., In an exoellsnt address , supported the resolution . He rejoiced at seeing such an immense meeting . It was a proud day for Ireland , and vindicated England ' s character from her Tory def&HkfcrB . He was glad that in one of the resolutions they had inculpated the late , as well aa the present , Government ; for although the Whigs governed Ireland better in the Executive department , yet they were tyrannical rulers ; and in their Coercion aud Arms ' Bills , bad laid the foundation of the present attempted coercive measnrta . The Whigs -were , therefore , rightly Inculpated . With regard to the Repeal question , no one in that room had been more sincerely attached to
British connection ; and he had not yet joined the Repealers lest he should iojure that connection . He bad clung to the hope that Parliament would yet do justice to Ireland . He had clung to the hope that the English people would do justice to Ireland , and In the latter hope be had not been deceived ; but when be saw his countrymen insulted by on Arms' Bill , and her magistrates dismissed for expressing their opinions , then he asserted Ireland had arigbt to resent these insults in any manner she thought proper . He had stated in the Hoo 3 e , and he stated it again , that ho would not support the Union unless equal laws were guaranteed by it , and if this were not none , he would , let the consequences be what tbey might , juin his countrymen for
the Repeal of the Union . ( Great cheering . ) fie once opposed the Repeal , because he thought it distracted his countiymsn ttom ihe great movement in support of the universal tight to representation In Parliament ; feut at a crisis like th > present , when he saw his country insulted , he waa not the man to say a word against the Repeal of the Union .

Ho was proud of his constituents before ; he was now prouder of them than ever . Mr . Crawford eat down loudly cheered , and the Tesolntion was unanimously agreed to . Mr .

The heat was intense ; and there was a continual interchange of persons , there being always an immense body outside .

Every exertion was used by the pesters np of the meeting to enlist the Repealers in their behalf . Deputations were sent tc all the Repeal w&Tds ; but " Repeal" triumphed , in spite of all the efforts of the platform gents to prevent it The committee have pledged themselves that the memorial shall be an exact transcript of tha resolutions .

• MANSLAUGHTER AT RAWMABSH . Edward Pierpoint , 23 , and Isaac Jackson , 24 , nrere charged with the manslaughter of Isaac Leesley , on the 6 th June last , at Bawmarsh . MttjPASHLET and Mr . Ovebend conducted the prosecution ; Mir . Wilkins defended Pierpoint , and Mr . Bliss appeared on behalf of Jackson . On jthe 6 th of June last , the day on which this occurrence took place , a feast was being held at M » sbr | o , ' near Rotherham , Sand about eleven o ' clock on the night of that day , there were a number of persons , among whom were the prisoners at the bar , and a man of the name of Myere , who took part in the attack upon the deceased , but was not in custody , in a room at the public-house , at Masbro ' , called the
u Station Inn . They were up atairs , and there was dancing and a good deal of drinking going on . Tho dancing was conducted pretty quietly till about halfpast one o ' clock next morning , when the circumstances connected with this affray commenced . Some of the parties were a good deal the worae for liquor . The deoeased came up stairs , and having used some provoking language , a souffle took place between him and Myers ; a general row followed , twelve or fourteen of the party paired themselves off , and began to fight . After ; the disturbance had' subsided a little , the deceased ^ who appeared to have been very ill treated , was taken down stairs , Whore he complained of great pain . After this , when the deceased was on the ground , Jackson was observed to go up to the accused and jump upon his body twice . Pierponi
also strode ovor him , raised him from the floor by tho coat collar , gave him a ' - violent kiok on tho left Bide , just below the ribs , attd threw him dawn again on the ! floor , Myers was also seen to kick the deceased ; whilst lying on thje ground . About four o ' cloolc he was seen on his road home , apparently in great paia ; and again , thr pe houra later , he was seen by a second party on the road side in tho sama condition . On his arrival at home , a medical man was called in ; but his endeavours to save his -life were fruitless , and he expired , after suffering great pain fdr about twenty-four hours . A pest mortem examination was made , and it was found that death bad be ' en caused by a rupture of the boWolB , which , in the opinion of the surgeon , had been produced by external violence .
Mr . Bliss , on the part of Jackson , submitted that the evidence was contradictory , and insufficient to fix the ? charge on him : and Mr . Wiliuns , on behalf of Pinpoint , contended that tho evidence , and especially that of the medical man , proved that the death Of the deceased had been caused not by a kick on the iribs , but by a blow ott the body , whioh it had been shown had been inflicted by Myers , the man not in custody . Myers was the man with whom the deceased first came in contact , and it had been proved } that before the violence , which at an after part of tho proceedings was spoken tD , he ( Myers ) had inflicted on tho deceased such injuries as , according to the medical inch ' s evidence , would produce the result and appearance which he had desoribed .
The Learned Judge summed np with great minuteneSs . Tho questions for the consideration of the Jury were , whether the evidence , which left the matter ; in considerable doubt , was sufficient to fix tho charge upon Jackson , and whether Pierpoint was acting in concert with Myers , and took part in inflicting those injuries which caused the death of the deceased . The : Jury retired to consider their verdict , and after an absence « f twenty miuutes , they returned into Court with a verdict of Acquittal iu favour of both the prisonerfl . Wmt Hargreaves , pleaded Guilty to the manslaughter of John Holder , at Bradford , on the 29 th of April last . Mr . iWASNET , who appeared on the part of the prisoner , called several respectable witnesses , wbo gave the prisoner en excellent character for humanity , kindness , and general good behaviour .

The ; prisoner , who appeared to have beea sober , wished to evade any quarrel
with the deceased , but he continued his abuse , and challenged the prisoner out to fight . The prisoner declined doint ? so , upon which the deceased used some further opprobrious language ,, and called him a cowardi This had still no ejffeot upon him . but some other parties in the house said " Go out , and give him a round or two , and hVU be quiet . " He went out , together wi > , h the deceased and some other persons ; Tho fight commenced , and eventually the deceased received a blow which threw him down , He fell on some bricks , and received some injury at the back of the neck , which . , appeared to have produced paralysis and death .

" REBECCA" IN WALES . — , — » Tn consequence of the continued unsettled stato of South Wales , owiiu to the determination of parties known by the designation of "Rebecca and her Daughters" to destroy property , and especially turnpike gates , orders were received at Woolwich at am earley hour on Sunday morning , t o h a ve i n rea di ness a 6-pounder field-gun and a 12-peunder howitzer , which was selected from the field-train department ; and at ten o ' clock a . m ., they left Woolwich with the usual number of men of the Royal Artillery required for their service in the field , under the command of C » ptain Taylor , and Lieutenant Wodehouse . Tho orders were , to proceed to Bristol by the Great Western Railway , and from Bristol to Carmarthen with the least possible delay .- —Times , Tuesday .
( From our own Correspondent . } Swansea , July 17 th , 1843 . I d on 't see anything worthy of notice in either of the two journals of this locality , t h e Cam W a n , or the Journal , this week . The Welshman , Carmarthen paper , treats a good deal on the gifawir that has taken place lately , and respecting the trials of the prisoners- The Swansea Journal ^ ( Whig paper ) is full of a good deal of falsehood respecting the highways being many thousands in debt to the trustees ; particularly the Witch-Troo-Bridge gate , between Swansea and Neath , a distance of only eight miles , the expense of passing whioh , with a single horse and cart , is Is . 3 d .
As " Rebecca and her daughters" have at length entered upon the gate-destruction' in this county , the magistrates meet every day ; but their meetings are mostly private . The first gate that waa destroyed was at a place called Belgoed , near Pontardulais , on the borders of Carmarthenshire , for which , there is £ 100 reward * Tfce Witeh-fcroo-bridge gate , at Mormfcown , three miles from Swansea , is Dot yet destroyed ; but" Rebecca" is reported to have threatened that it shall be . la consequence of these reported threats , fifteen or sixteen policemen have been placed to guard it ; and horses kept ready harnessed to start to inform the authorities , should the threatened attempt at destruction be made . The other day a waggish bey at Morristown , sounded a horn , as an " advance" call of " Rebecca "; and the policemen ran in all directions .
On Friday night last , the Uth , some 300 of "Rebecca ' s" daughters destroyed the turnpike gate at Pulford-three-Crosse 3 , about six miles from Swansea on the Peneland road . Notwithstanding the reward for the destroyers of the Belgoed gate , " Rebecca" seems determined to remove what she deems public grievances , on , her own responsibility , I have sent you particulars of the liberation of a number of cattle from Neath pound by " Rebecca . " Yon will not see the acconnt in any of our Whig prints , b ec a use E a r l Jerse y ' s agents are good customers in advertising . Ob Thursday night , ore&rly on Friday morning : the 7 th instant , " Rebecca and her Daughters "
visited tho town of Neath , and liberated ten horses from the common pound , though it was within the confines of the town , and within , sight of tha police . However she accomplished her work without molestation . The horses in question had been seized by the agents of Earl Jersey , from a farmer who held land under them : but the peculiarity in the case , and probably the cause of "Rebecca ' s interference was , the fact that the cattle seiZBd did not belong to the farmer , but to poor people Who earned their livelihood with them , and put them out to the farmer to keep . It- was considered a case of great hardship : and " Rebecca" came to the rescue . Rescue them she did ; and no reward has been offered for the " offenders ' »

WHAT NEXT ? «• Thou shall not bea ? false witness against thy neighbour . ^ TO THE EDITOR OF THE NORTHERN STAB . DEAR . Sir , —The ' above commandment being the ninth article of the ( moral code forming " part and parcel of Christianity , " is , I presume believed in , and duly responded to , Iu Ihe course of his devotional exereises , by that very orthodox Christian , Mr . Daniel O'Connell . How much of the spirit along with the letter of the law is itobibed by the " Irish Moses" bis actions and words exhibit In my last letter I made allusion to a speech of O'Connell's calumniating the Chartists of Scotland . 1 made a mistake in stating that tbat speech was delivered on the 4 tb , it waa the ; 5 th of July . I am sorry to have again to address you on the same bject 1 ' '
su . auujeuu \ At a special meeting of the Repeal Association at Dublin , on Friday , the 14 th inst , O'Conaell , after denouncing tbe Ribbon Societies alledged to exist in . the North of Ireland , jnexfc , ( says the Nation ) , " warned the people to avoid Chartism , and designated ihe Chartists as the entmies of j ^ ree and fair discussion . " Wben the Editor of the Nation refused to publish tbe reply of the Sheffield Chartists to the calumnies of O'Connell , he gave as his reason for such unfair treatment , tbat the publication of the letter would tend to revive the discussion which was inadvisable : but here we hava the
disenssion revived by ( Mr . Duffy ' s master with all his wonted malice O'Connell says we are the enemies of free discussion ; and the Nation reports that at 0 N&ill Daunt ' s meeting at Edinburgh , " there was a momentary interruption from a Chartist * Dr . Glover , but he waa aoe » put out (!) and the proceedings continued undisturbed . " When O'Conuoll says we are the enemies of free discussion ; hej ( to quote his own elegant phraseology ) tells " a mighty big lie" ! while bia own party at Edinburgh have been really guilty of that he so falsely charges upon us .
After repeating some of bia old slanders respecting Feargus O'Connor , bk ¦ winds ap by saying , " let tha Chartists , as the Repealers , meet in the open-daylight , and court public observation . " Here be insinuates that we bold our meetings in secret . He shall be answered , in his ewn language again , tbe only answer be ia worthy of : " he lies , and he knows he lies . " It will ba observed jthat he is constantly mixing up Chartism with Ribbonism , so one can mistake bis object . No one who ! remembers BiB denunciation of Stephens , Oastler , and O'Connor , in 1839 , previous to tbe Whig persecution ] bat can see that be is practising his old craft of Informer general . He concluded the speech in question by proposing the adoption of a series of resolutions : here ia the second ,
" Tbat tbe duties of tbe people of Ireland aTB manifest . Tbey consist—| lst > In tbe most ucremitting perseverance in agitation for Repeal . 2 nd . In adopting for that purpose none Jother than legal , constitutional aud unremittingly peaceable means . 3 rd . In totally abstaining from ail Ribbon Societies , all connexion whatever ivith Chartism , fro \ n all illegal and unnecessary oaths . and from every other breath of the law . Following these courses , we can without hesitation , offer to the people of Ireland the speedy ] and total Rapeal of tbe Union , and the restoration of th 9 Irish Parliament "
Here is no tniatifying . The third dnty of the people 0 Ireland is to totally abstain from Chartism and Bibboaism , —just aa if tbe two were identical ! What barefaced atrocity ! Having hugged in bis . embrace the furious " physical-force" Yankees , Din nods it necessary to change bis tack in abusing tbe Chartists . To abuse us on the ground of physical force would hardly do just now , with the "threats of the No s ? York " eympatbizera" tinging through the Press ; so the infamous lie tbat we meet in sectet , connecting Chartism with Ribbonism , illegal oath ' s , Ac , &c , is now resorted to . Let tbe Chartists { look out . ' Toe " bloody Old TUnes" is promulgating itfl lies concerning the Welsh Chartists * as stated in your lasfc week's paper , while O'Connell is pursuing ] the same game , no doubt with the laudable view of attracting the Government bloodhounds to a fresh persecution of the English democrats . Let us defy the malice ' of both parties ! that the millions
How lamentable it is are yet the dupes of wily politicians and unprincipled knaves ! It is so in Ireiand st tne present time . Hatred of England ! not liberty- ^ -real liberty—ia the theme of the orator ' s tongue and the editor ' s pan in that country . What is to be gained by fitting people against people , and nation against nation ? inspiring one race with a ' ferocious antipathy towards and hatred of another raCO ? It is this system that has kept mankind in slavery . Let the people of Ireland ( obtain the Repsat—and I wish they bad it ; and let them t < ke cure to have " no connection whatever withjCbartism "; let them be content with the empiy sound of ¦• nntionality' ' , and consent to forego the rights of pitiz m ahip , and they'll find out then-mistake ! Their ( national vanity may be fl Utered by the change from S . ixon to Celtic tyranny ; but unless they win for themselves the principles of rauch-abused Chartism , a cbange of nia&ters will be the only result of victory , if gained in tblir present struggle .
The English Chartista would have made any sacrifice to sarve their Irian brethren ; but tbeir offers of co-opeiation have been 1 ejected iu a spirit which shews too plain the unalloyed j hatred of the Irish leaders towards English !? . on of ail classes and parties . Be it so . We will do nothing to [ aid their enemies ; but wo may do what wo h * ve left undone for the past two months ; pay some attention to ojtr own affairs . In England we have an object worth stpiggfing for , not the Repeal of one Act of Paiiiument , but the COMPTETE regeneration OP OUR COUNTRY , THE SOCIAL SALVATION OF
