DUBLIN . J In consequence ef its being snoonceed in all the newspapers that the apostle of Temperance , the good Father Jtfathew was to preach a sermon in tie Catholic Cfcurch , TJppeT GaTfienerB-Btreet j at two o ' clock , en gnisdsy last ; and as the jjreat majority of tHe members of the Ijish "Universal SnSraEe Association are teetofellcrs / the nsaal -weekly metting of . that Society was Jrat thinly attended . 2 Jr . James Haughton , \ rho ia Teryiwpnlar , and jastly so , invited all the Temperanca bacdi of the city to assemble at two o ' clock , and wait CD Father Math&w had concluded his sermon , and then greet him with " Heavenly mnsic , " which
invifaticn was cheerfully respoaded to . At four o'clock , the City cf Dublin presented one ef tfee most cheerful , tappy , ano soul stirring sceneB imaginable . The Bevelal bands were beautifully dressed . Father 'MathBw ' s has all the appearance ef a military band . The dress is blue trGSScra with gold iraiding from the hip to the ancle ; blue military frock coat , bine cap and gold Jjacd . Tte bands moved < . ff in good order from the ehwch to ttfcir respective localiriea , each playing some exQiTening air or piece of sacred muric . At six o'clock the vfhols city wsb bb tranquil , and as quiet as if the sound of music was never heard in- it Thtre never
iris since the beginning of the world such a reformation brought at > ont in so short a time as Father Maihew has brought about in the City of Dublin . ' It is like a miracle . It is amongst the working classes that the great change for the better is so obvious . This reformation amongst the people is a '^ ource of veU-fooaded hope to the sound-thinking portion of the members of the Irish Universal Suffrage Association . In it they Ere the ultimate saccesa of the sound political principles contained in the People's Charter . That ChartiBBi must ultimately triumph in Ireland , no sensible man , "who knows anything about the' question , has one shadow of doubt Chartism is yet in its infancy in Ireland . } The principles of Chartism have made fat more rapid strides in Ireland than did those of
teetotalism . And what is rather a curious coincidence , they ¦ were both assailed by the same weapons , and by the same Individual . For several years the teetotallers were obliged to hold their meetings in holes and corners . Xhe windows of the houses where they assembled were broken by an infuriated people , who were led to believe that they were the enemies of their country and their creed . All the eloquence and ridicule which O Conn ell cculd comaantl were emplojed to destroy the teetotallers . He was then a practising barrister ; and had , it is mid , received large fees from the brewers and distillers of Dublin to pnt down tettotalUm . Upon one of those cccasions , he made a virulent attack upon Philip Cecil Craap ' on , who was then a King ' s Counsel , and who was the first man of note
» ho ccu-utenanced teetotalism . Mr . Crampton , having discovered that temperance alone would never have the effect of putting a total end to drunkensen amongst the poorer-classes ; in order to set a good example , destroyed all the wines and spirituous and malt liquors in his house , to the value of £ 1000 . Here was a sacrifice to principle . However , when Mr . O'Connell heard of this , he turned it into the greatest possible Tidkule . He described Mr . Crampton s » an enemy to the Catholics of Ireland ; as . a supporter of the baae , bloody , and brutal Whigs ; as a ma :- who was more fitted for a lnnatic asylum than a judicial bench . In one of bis irpeechta against the teetotallers , he said It was a sufficient reason for the people of Ireland to leout it , because Philip Cecil Crampton patronised it
He said that he nevnr was afraid of a vhoev but onoe in mi life ; ana that was a few Ways ago , w&en he met the attenuated form of his old friend Philp Cedl Crampton , which he had not seen since he became a teetotaller ; that the figure stalked abroad like a gboat since his learned friend had ceased to support nature with potationa of jjood old wina and double XX Mr . O'CanceU subsequently l » caine a brewer himself ; in which speculation he was unsuccessful . Ho opposed teelotalism u long as he was able , and opposed it in Dublin successfully nnnl Father Wathew made his appearance in Dublin in March , 1840 , vhea Mr . OConneil , finding that further opposition would he unavailing , became a convert to Father Hathew ' s eloquence , and the millions who flocked to his standard . Judge Crampton was no
longer described as " Philip the water drinker . " His attenuated form no longer frightened the Liberator . There was an end to ridicule . The people began to discover , and did discover , that tbeteetot&Uars , whom they bad previously beaten and abused , were sot the enemies of their country and creed . Well , " Chartism is winning its way to the hnaTfti of the people through the perseverance and indomitable spirit of the Irish Univeml Suffrage Association . 11 was denounced even with more virulence than teetotallism . Its members were vilified , traduced , and calumniated : yet it is thriving . Its progress is alow but rare . The spirit of real liberty is kept alive by this little band of sterling patriots ; and their proceedings find their way to the remotest districts in Ireland , throneh the medium of the Northern Star and
the brotherly kindness of the Coartists of Great Britain . A day wiQ come—and that too at no distant periodwhen some political Father Math&w will arise amongst us , and dispel the clouds of prejudice and ignorance in which the gloricus principles of Chartism have been enveloped by hollow-hearted mock patriots , whose patroUcxc is pelf , and who keep the people in political ignorance , in order to plunder them with impunity . But those clouds will yet vanish before the bright ray 3 of principle . As the morning sun tinge * the tops of mountains on his first appearance above the hrtr . mn . anil arms 3 » ay Iho flafYneM of the night , and sooa shines forth in all bis glory , —bo will Chartism overthrow prejudice and error , and appear in all it * native beauty , to the astonishment and admiration of the Irish people .
The striking similarity between the progress of fTh * Tti « m and Teetotalism , and the opposition to them , has led to these" preliminary observations by way of episode to the proceedings of the Irish Universal Suffrage Association . At half-pist one ©" clock , Mr . Patrick Moran was oiled to the chair . The Chairman said , that the unusual thinnfta cf the meeting proceeded from two C 3 nsss ; the first of which was that & great number of their members belonged to Father Mathew ' s teetotal Society , and that they had very properly gone to do honour to a man who had conferred such substantial benefits upon them especially , and upon his country generally— < b « ar , bearj . " The second cause was , Quit several members were afraid to come , lest
they should be publicly denounced , and thus lose tbeir employment ; while others were so full of the Idea that this Association was opposed to the Repeal of the Union , that they Would not let any c % > me , over Whom they could exercise any influence . Others deemed it quite enough to join the Association , take out thtir cards , and pay their subscriptions ; and , as they were not good orators , they thought their attendance might be dispensed with . He ( Mr . Moran ) employed a great number of men ; and , so devoted are some of them to Mr . O'Connell , that they have more than once told him that they would cut off their right arm , if he told them it was for the go « d of their eountry ; yet they could not say that ^ he ever did any good for them , er was he ever likely to do them any . Toe
fact is , the people de not know-what goes on in these rooms , and the liberal jress takes right good care that they shall cot know . This Association cannot bribe the press . The O'Cjnnell JUpeaien can ; therefore any lie Bay be , and very often is . ^ told of us without our having the means to contradict iW-lhear , hear)—but our turn la coming . The victims of Repeal , that is the ¦ victims of O'ConneU ' s policy , are now complaining of fha conduct « f the press . Lord PaJmerston turned sway a great number of tenants and labourers for having attended an OConneil Repeal meeting . All that the poor fellows got out » f theBepeal rent , as compensation for their loss was £ 2 S . Shame , shameJ £ 26 out of ; £ 20 GG a week . Collections are made for Ihose poor sufferers , and meetings are held at the Corn Exchange at night in tfeeir behalf ; but as the Liberal press does sot report the proceedings , none of the brawling patriots attend those met tings—{ hear , hear ) . As there was a very important motion to be submitted to the
meeting he should not trespass upon them by any lengthened observations . He should only say that if any stranger , and he saw . some in the room , ; had any wish to address the meeting they should have a patient hearing , and should fee treated in every respect as if they were members , with the exception of Toting . The members were subject to the rales ol the Association , and strangers should also be subject to them ; unless these rales were observed and strictly enforced by the Chairman , aided sod supported by the good sense of the meeting , there ould be ne such , thing as order , in that meeting be ¦ Was sure the Chairman would have but little trouble . There was no danger of unmannerly Interruptions . The ¦ camps and blackguards or the city bad tried tbeir hand at that aad failed . All that the advocates of Chartism required was free discussion , " a dear stage and no favour "—( hear , hear ) . The Chairman resumed his seat ¦ midst the repeated plaudits of the meeting .
Mr . W . H _ Djottread the rales and objects of the ASBOwauon ; the minutes of the last day ' s proceedingsand several letters frosa various parts of Ireland . A letter from Mr . Miles Debbage , of Norwich , announcing Biat he had f awarded tor the use of fee Irisa Chartists 322 horlhem Sim , 84 Evexiiy Stan , 205 Chartist Ciredan , and four Uatkmal Vindicators , was read and bearUIy cheered . . **»« . ^ MiOTHiggins read a letter from a gentleman in Manaherter , who had never joined the Chartist ranks tot who nevertheless was like-many others in the middle wnks , thorough Chartists—( hear , bear ) . The following passage * in the letter were loudly cheered to the whole meeting j— " The political game on both tides of the Irish seals becoming so complex that unless We keep up a little intercourse with each other we shall be utterly « nable to understand ths apparently laeonsisteat mores .
"The c » ckoo cry bare is * Chartism Is asleep , dead extinct . ' False ! it never was so powerful . Nearly « rasjrJEatfialj _ w « rking manisaChartfcfc .

"Tour Irish leader , though he has done far more than any other leader , of ancient or modern times , to forfeit the confidence of the people , BtiU retains it , though apparently on the condition that he will keep moving towards Kepeai " "His Arbitration Conrt affair , if be is in earnest , is a magnificent move ; but has he the power and will to empty the Government magistrates' courts , and Bend the people to seek justice from magistrates of their own choice 1 " "What ia his scheme about assembling a sort of Parliament in Dublin ? Will he really have the spirit to elect a body of men to ait and make laws , and act as a sort of domestic legislature ? He cannot go on for ever demonstrating ; and if he does not advance be must
reeede . Your clergy strrely win not let him halt and yet uphold him "—( hear , hear ) . He ( Mr . O'Higgina ) was of opinion that the Catholic clergy wonld not let Mr . O'ConneU halt , and rtill uphold him . Should he attempt to deceive them ox to make use of them to promote Mb own private ends , they will to a man abandon him . They are really in earnest : they have no private interests to serve ; no political friends to promote by potting the Repeal in abeyance , lest it might disturb the tenure of Whig power and Repealer patronage . No , they are in earnest It is to their country ' s welfare they look . They know better than any other men the truly miserable condition of the great majority of their respective flocks ; and it is with a view to ameliorate that condition , to make their people happy and
contented , that they have taken so active a part in the Repeal movement ; and it is becauae they consider Mr . O'ConneU the fittest person in the empire to guide that mighty movement , and steer it safely through all the meshes and pitfalls of the law , that they have given , and continue to give , him tbeir undivided and hearty support They care not about faction , Whig or Tory : it is the weU-being of the people , and that alone , they look to or care for — ( hear , hear ) . There 1 b not a man of them , from the highest to the lowest , who would not be thorongh nn-? inching Chartists , if they once knew the principles of Chartism—( hear , hear ) . He had but Uttle faith in the
poUUcal integrity of Mr . O'Counell , whose pobllc career be knew better than any other man living . He had implicit confidence in him for along time , and he was slow to donbt—slow to withdraw that confidence from him . His disappointment and pain were boundless when he first saw Mr . O'Connell act openly , wilfully , and basely unjust ; when he saw him abandon every political principle for the sake of keeping the Whigs in power , in order to get some pbces for his tons and sons-in-law ; and when be heard him declare in the Hense of Commons , on the debate upon tke tithe question , that " should tub British Minister iegislate in that spirit fob . his
COUSTBTf , HE "WOULD BLOI OUT THE NAME OF IHELAM ) FOR EVER , AhD GLOBY IN CALLIMO HIMSELF a West Britom . " And what was this spirit of legislation which was to blot out the name of Ireland for ever , and call it West Britain ? The appropriation of surplus tithe , £ 50 . 000 a-year to the purposes of education , fcrgettibg altogether the fact , that in order to create the surplus , the poor Catholic occupying tenant should pay the last farthing—( hear , hear ) . He , Mr . O'Higgins , hoped most sinceiely that be was wrong , and that those who confided in Mr . OXtonnell ' s honesty were right He would be wjoieed to be found in the wrong , but be had nut tbe slightest particle of confidence in Mr . O'ConneU's political honesty . In fact , from all ho saw and all he knew , he would not trust blm with anything , and he was sorry for it His
whole political career was a living lie , one part contradicting the other all through . In 1835 , he made an effort to seU tbe Catholic Hierarchy and priesthood of Ireland to the virtuous Qeo . 4 ' . h , but was defeated by the late Dr . Doyle and tbe present Archbishop ofDabUn , the venerable and venerated Dr . Murray . He succeeded in selling tbe forty shilling freeholders . He swore in March , 1825 , that tbe disfranebisement of the forty shilling freeholders , and raising the qualification to ten pounds beneficial interest , would be a great boon to Ireland , and would be generally acknowledged as such . The forty shilling freeholders were disfranchised ; banished from home and country ; three hundred thousand of them huntad off the face of tbe earth ; their wives and families died of want in the ditches ; and the man who stands guilty before high heaven of the wholesale destruction of fifteen hundred
thonsand human being * , w tbe man whom be ( Mr-O'Higgins ) was called upon to trust ; a man whose whole political career can be traced through tbe blood and slaughter and destruction of his countrymen . Tracy , of Cork , was imprisoned , and died in prison for having published a truculent speech of Mr . O'ConneU ' s , which be had tbe baseness to deny . Magee , of the Evening Post , suffered flue and imprisonment for having published another speech of Mr . O'ConneU ' s , which he also denied . Barrett , of the PU » l , suffered six months * imprisonment for having published a letter ot Mr . O ConneU's in tbe Pilot newspsper . In 1830 , tbe Rapes ! question and the total abolition of tithes were questions then got up for the purpose of thwarting Earl Grey ' s Government , bscause Mr .
Solicitor General Doherty was placed upon . he Bench , in opposition to the remonstrances of Mr . O'ConnelL He said that the appointment would be unpopnlar in Ireland ; and be took good ure to make it so . His recommendations to the people not to pay tithe led to the murders at Newtownbarry , Carricksbock , Moncoin , Wallstown , R&thconn&a . and several other places . Kieny ana oiners died in prison , martyrs to nis oavice . After all this sacrifice of human life publicly known , besides the thousand other cases of suffering well known , but not published , this great political leader compromised the tithe question and the Repeal qusstion , for Whig places for sucb of his family as were fit to occupy them ; and this is the man which be ( Mr . O'Higgins ) was called upon to trust It was his
solemn opinion , and that opinion founded on past experience , that Mr . Daniel O'Connell wonld sell the Repeal movement , Catholic Bishops , Priests , People and all , for some paltry privileges connected with the administration of the law in Ireland , in which the great mass ef the people would have no interest , and from which they would derive na benefit of any nature or kind whatsoever . This great statesman says he spent five long years in fruitless efforts to conciliate the Orangemen without conciliating one of them ; but the effort he says furnished with him an argument against them : ergo , there was no argument against them before But be forgot to tell his admiring auditory that this childish attempt at conciliation forced tbe Government to re-embody and arm the Orange Yeomanry , lest some
of them should fall into the conciliation trap . This great statesman ; this Irish Moses ; " voted in his place in Parliament for tbe Irish Coercion Act , and against Mr . Crawford ' s motion for the total abolition of Tithe ; for tbe Irish Municipal Reform BUI containing the clause which made minister's money a municipal tax , and another clause giving the power to the Lord Lieutenant to appoint the Sheriffs and the Recorder . Yet this is the statesman whom he ( Mr . O'Higgin ' s was called upen to trust ! He had t « apologise for taking up so much of the time of tbe meeting ; but tbe letter which they heard read , and the incessant applications which have been made to him to become the tool and slave of O'Connell , led him into this lengthened statement of his views upon this great and important question .
The notice of motion having been read , Mr . Woodward came forward , and said that he felt great difficulty in bringing under the notice of the Association the subject of which be had given notice—an Address to the Chartists of Great Britain , requesting tbeir assistance to obtain a repeal of the 33 rd Geo . III . cap , 29 , called the Convention AcL This was a question more fitting for a lawyer to moot , than for a hard working man like him . But he felt the effects of this penal statute as keenly as any lawyer could . Borne of the clauses of this despotic statute operated directly against the tradesmen and mechanics of Ireland . Suppose , for instance , that one trade met for the purpose of regulating wages , and that other trades approved of their proceedings , and sent delegates
to assist them : the moment those meetings interfered with the interests ef the masters , or even their imaginary interests , that moment the masters cauld hand them all over to tbe tender mercies of the Attorney . General—lheary bear ) . In despotic Russia there was no such tyrannical statute as this . The Russian serfs , as they are called , are tbe peculiar care of the Autocrat It is to prevent the nobility from doing injury to the Russian serf , that the despotic laws of that country are enacted and enforced . He wonld read the whole Act for the information of the meeting , and should then leave them to jndge of the patriotism of those who , when their friends the Whigs were in power , made no effort to have this most atrocious statute repealed . Let it be borne in mind that this was not aa English
. statute . It originated in College Green , and was passed there —( hear , hear );—and what is there to prevent similar laws from passing in the same place , if the Union were repealed to-morrow 1 How can we , without first and foremost getting an extension of the franchise , send better men to College Green than we now send to Westminster f The thing is impoasibla Unless the people first get the power to return men of their own choice to represent them , bad laws could be made in College Green in 1845 as easily as they were made hi 1793 , when this wicked act became law . Mr . O'Connell has often raid that Catholic Emancipation , as it is called , would have been obtained twenty years sooner , only this very Convention Act having stood in the way ; yet when be got into Parliament he never made one solitary effort to repeal It —( hear , hear ) . He ( Mr . Woodward ) was at a loss to get any one to tell him what good he
; did , or attempted to do , all tbe time he was in Parlia ment , but more especially during the time that his bosom friends , the Whigs , had a majority of 137 upon every question they introduced . Why not make an effort to repeal the Convention Act then r But now , whan the hereditary and avowed enemies of pnblie Hberty are in power , he Bakes a great fusa Jabeut the Repeal of the Union , and puts the poor Associates to the expenee of building a house for the reception and a «» mmoaat i » n of three hundred delegates , wnom he knows hi his heart and sonl can never assemble there tin this Act is repealed —( bear , and cheers ) . Mt was as anxious to see three hundred real representattves of tbe people assembled in the ConcWatton HaU as Mr . O Connen or any one else . To be sore , three hundred men may come there and read the newspapers ; but that is all they can do till this statute is repealed . Mr . O'Connenhas already shifted his groanO . Henow says that they are not to be delegates , bat a " Protec Uv « Socktj . " Is . protect wbat ? he wished to kit *
Untitled Article
Bat they cannot be elected even in that capacity . The second section of this Aot , which ifl as follows , will prevent them from meeting as delegates or representatives in any shape or under any name : — " II . And be it farther enacted ; that if any person shall give or publish , or cause to be given or published any written or other notice of election to be bolden , or any manner of appointment of any person or persons to be the representative or representatives , delegate or delegates , or to act by any other name or description whatever as representative or
representatives , delegate or delegates of the inhabitants , or of any description of the inhabitants of any province , county , city , town , or other district within this kingdom at any such assembly ; or if any person shall attend and vote at Buch election or appointment , or by any other means vote or act in the choice or appointment of such representatives or delegates or other persons to aet as such , every person who shall be guilty of any of the said offences respectively , being thereof convicted by due course of law , shall be deemed guilty of aa high misdemeanour . "
This precious clause guards against the assembling of representatives under any name or construction whatsoever . H » hoped that his British Chartist brethren would send petitions from every village , town and hamlet , for the repeal of this odious law ; and thus prove to the Q ' Connellite Repealers , that the Chartists were real Repealers . The petitions might be written in a good round-hand , upon sheets of middling siead paper , signed by fifty or one hundred names to each petition , and forwarded by post to the member ohesen to present it This plan will save expense ; and be as effective as the most costly method . Before he concluded be begged leave to explain what he meant by saying . " what is called Catholic Emancipation . " Now he , Mr . Woodward , was a Protestant : and be should never look upon
his Catholic countrymen as emancipated while they were obliged to contribute one farthing directly , or indirectly towards tbe support of the ministers of his church—( hear , hear ) . Mr . Woodward concluded by moving that the address to the Chartists of Great Britain be referred to the Standing Committee for revision , prior to its being forwarded to the Northern Star for publication . Mr . Byott seconded the motion in an admirable ptech , in the course of which he said that be fully concurred with Mr . Woodward in his opinion of Catholic Emancipation : though not a Catholic himself , be
£ okedupon the exaction of tithe and minister ' s money disgraceful to those who received it , and degrading to those who were compelled to pay it . Toe parsons of the Church by law established , knew fuU welt that they had no just title to the vast sums which they forced an impoverished people to pay for vilifying and calumniating themselves , tbeir creed , and the clergy of their choice .: Ireland could not be tranquil , nor would she be tranquil , nntll such time as this odious , degrading , and debasing tyranny was got rid of . The enactment of the People ' s Charter would soon throw these legalia « d clerical . plunderers upon their own resources . Well they know thatand hence their hostility to it
, The question having been put , and the motion carried , Mr . Manning was called to the chair , and thanks having been given to Mr . Moran , tho meeting separated .

Fatal Accident on the River . On Sunday moraine three young men , named M'Derxnott , M'llew , and Killan , left the White House , Chelsaa , for the purpose of bathing . Having reached a retired spot , they plunged in , M'Deraott previously remarking , that though be was going into the waier he could hot swim a stroke . His two companions , who were good swimmers , left him amusing himself by the shore while they struck out for tho centre of the stream , which they had no sooner gained than M'Darmott oried out " Tea going , help me for God ' s
Bake . " ¦ Observing that tbe peor fellow , though not many yards from the shore , kept ducking up and down , they made all haste towards him , but the tide , which was running strong at the time , carried them a considerable distance below where M'Dermott was struggling . Young Phelps , brother of the celebrated oarsman of that name , happening to be parsing in bis barge , jumped into his small boat and pulled wilh all Bpeed , leaving his barge to take care of itself , but all his exertions , as well aa tboae of of others , were useless , a s the poor fellow sunk for the fourth and last time before any one reached the
Bpot . From the statement of the boy who was left in care of tbe clothes , M * Dermatt was practising by swimming on one leg , which is performed by walking on either , and striking out with one , and was not more than up to his chest in water , when coming suddenly to what is called a ballast-hole , directly facing Burton's-wharf , he lost his footing , and was immediately plunged into about twenty feet of water . Several attempts were made by diving and dragging to recover the body , none of which , up to a late hour , proved successful . The deceased was twentyone yean of age , and the only support of a widowed mother and several children .
