ONDON and YORK RAILWAY. Several advertisements having of late appeared, headed "DIRECT NORTHERN RAILWAY," and having attached thereto the names of Sir John Rennie, Mr. Gravatt, Major Amsinc, and others, in which it is asserted—that by the Direct Northern Line the distance from London to York will be twenty miles less than by the line proposed by this Company—that the scheme to connect London with York originated with, and was first projected by, Sir John Rennie and Company—and that upwards of seventy miles of their scheme has been appropriated by the London and York Company—the Committee of Direction feel called upon, in justice to themselves and the shareholders, to give these assertions the most direct and unqualified contradiction. To the first they reply—that the difference in distance between the projected lines from London to York, instead of being twenty miles, is not more than tno miles and a half. Sir John Rennie's, by his own account being 180 miles in length—that of the London and York being in reality upon the line, as finally laid down, 1851 miles. Whether this difference of five and a half miles can be realised by Sir John Rennie's line is yet to be proved, and, if realised, whe ther such a difference would be compensated for by the London and York line having its course through the towns of Hitchin, Huntingdon, Peterborough, Grantham, Newark, Tuxford, Retford, Bawtry, and Doncaster, not one of which is approached by Sir John Rennie's line, the public will be able to determine. To the second and third allegations the Committee of Direction of the London and York Company reply, that while Sir John Ren nie and Co. state that their surveys were commenced in October, 1843, and their prospectus published in April last, the project for a new railway between London and York was formed by Mr. Gibbs in 1836, and in that year carried Into Parliament That in 1840 Mr. Gibbs again brought his scheme before the Parliamentary Commis sioners, and it is detailed by them in their report of 1841. That such scheme was never abandoned by him, but in February of the present year the details of the London and York Railway, as now, with modifications adopted, were explained by him to Mr. Beckett Denison, M.P , who suggested several alterations, and Mr. Francis Mowatt, the Vice-Chairman, and arrangements were made for per fecting the plan by levels and surveys, which were completed in the month of March following, and on the 16th of April the project was announced by advertisement in the Times, under the name of the " Great Northern Railway,"lbefore any advertisement of Sir John Rennie had appeared : and the Committee of Direction dis tinctly affirm that the course over the first seventy miles from London was adopted on actual surveys made by Mr. Gibbs, and not suggested to them by any other parties; and they beg further to observe, it is only now within these few days, that after the Lon don and York Company has been before the public for a period of five months, after its whole capital of five millions has been sub scribed, ana its shares has attained a high premium in the market, that Sir John Rennie and Company have come forward with what is intended to be a counter-project, and with the mis-statements here disposed of. All comment upon this course would, in the opinion of the Com mittee, be idle. Subjoined, for the information of the Shareholders and the public, is an accurate table of the actual distances, and also a list of the Provisional Committee of the I.ondon and York Company, pub lished in May last, including names that will be taken by the pub lic as a guarantee against any such conduct as is implied by the as. sertions of Sir John Rennie and Co.

The leading principle of this Mutual Assurance Society is, that the whole Profits are divisible among the Policy Holders every three years. In illustration of the eminent success which has attended the Society, it may be stated that the additions made to Policies have been at the rate of 2 per cent. per annum on the sum assured and on the vested bonus. Thus the holder of a Policy for 1,000/. effected on the Ist of March, 1832, will, if it become a claim during the present year, be entitled to 1,2971.; or, if effected on or before the Ist March, 1833, to 1,2751., and so on as regards other Polities. The Accumulated Fund exceeds 260,0001., and the Annual Revenue is above 70,0001., the whole being in a course of steady and increas ing prosperity. No other Life Assurance Institution whatever can warrantably hold out greater advantages to parties Assuring than this Society does. WILLIAM COOK, Agent for London. GI A, Worgate-street AGREAT SAVING TO TEA-DRINKERS. It is a most astonishing fact that the celebrated PIQUA PLANT is now sold at 3s. 6d. per lb., and is three times the strength of Tea, and is also equal in flavour, more delicate in taste, infinitely more healthy, as is proved by physicians and chemists of high standing, as Dr. Bryant, &c., also by persons in great num. bers with the most delicate lungs and stomachs, and yet many per sons have not tried nor ever heard of this celebrated morning and evening beverage. It is most pleasant and invigorating, and is recommended to the debilitated for its invaluable qualities, to ad. vanced age for its strengthening properties, and to the publis generally for its moderate price and intrinsic excellence. It neither has the stimulating and heating effect of Coffee, nor the nervously exciting effect of Tea, and is more strengthening than Porter, without the deleterious effects, while it is beneficial to the whole nervous and circulating systems. The Test—the proof of the efficacy and healthful effect of the plant in preference to Tea or Coffee.—Let a nervous or dyspeptic patient use two or three cups of strong Tea upon retiring to rest, and the effect will be nightmare, disturbed sleep, and other violent symptoms of indigestion, See. The Proof—let the most debilitated, dyspeptic, asthmatic, con sumptive, and nervous patients use two, three, or more cups of a very strong infusion of the Piqua Plant, and in the morning they will awake refreshed with their repose. It is highly recommended by Physicians to Invalids and Children, as a most invigorating and pleasant beverage. The following are reasons why the Plant is superior to Tea, viz Ist. Because it is beneficial to health. 2d. It does not injure the nerves. 3d. It does not prevent sleep. 4th. Children may use it with advantage to health. sth. It is strengthening and nutritious. 6th. A quarter of a pound will go as far as three-quarters of a pound of the best Gunpowder Tea. 7th. It is recommended by Physicians, and Tea is disapproved of by them. Sir,—The beverage sold by you, under the name of Piqua Plant, I have drank for some time; it was first recommended to my notice as a salutary beverage by a friend who is a great dyspeptic, and I have since recommended it to severa► patients suffering from Chronic affections of the Digestive Organs, Heart, and Lungs, with manifest advantage. And am, Sir, yours, ✓ic., July 1,1843. JOHN BRYANT, M.D., 50, Edgware-road, To Mr. W. Evans. Numerous Testimonials from Physicians and others of undoubted authority may be seen at the Depot. The Plant is patronised by many of the first families in the land. The amount in economy derived from the use of the Piqua Plant, compared with Tea, is as follows :—Suppose a family using one lb. of Tea per week, worth 4s. per lb., substitutes the Plant at Si. 6d. per lb., which requires but one-third the quantity to make the in. fusion of equal strength, the saving would be, per week, 35., and the cost to the family Is., instead of 45.; for one.third of a lb. of the Plant will go as far as one lb. of Tea. Sold at the Depot, No. I, Savoy-street, Strand, London, in Quarter.pound tinfoil packages, at 38. 6d. per lb. None is genuine unless each package bears the signature of WM. EVANS.

DUBLIN, OCT. 14.—The usual weekly meeting of the Association was held this day in the Conciliation Hall. On the motion of Mr. MAURICE O'CONNELL the chair was taken by J. P. Somers, Esq., M.P. The CHAIRMAN briefly addressed the meeting. Mr. MAURICE O'CONNELL handed in a few sums ,of money, and then proceeded to read the following very important letter from Mr. O'Connell : " TO THE ACTING SECRETARY OF THE LOYAL NATIONAL ought not to retain any jealousy or apprehension. This is our solemn, unequivocal, and most conscientious con viction and assertion, and we are entitled to be believed. But we will not place the cause of conciliation upon mere assertion ; we appeal to facts to prove that confi dence should be reposed in the Catholic repealers by Protestants of all classes. "The YinsT proof is adduced ,from Protestant histo torians. It is the historic fact, that the Irish Catholics were, since the Reformation, three times in possession of political power—in fact of the government of the coun try—yet they never passed one single penal law, nor persecuted one single Protestant. I have one thousand times challenged the libellers of the Irish Catholics to give me the name of any one Protestant who was perse cuted by the Catholics while in power—no such Pro testant has ever been named, simply because none such ever existed. "The SECOND proof arises from the language of the Catholics during the many years of our struggle for emancipation. We had tens of thousands of meetings, in all of which our claims were placed upon the prin ciple that conscience should be free. Free for others as well as for us. And in not one of these meetings, although guilty of many an indiscretion, yet not one single word of a bigoted or exclusive nature was uttered, save upon one occasion, when a phrase, consi dered to be: of a bigoted nature having been used, that phrase was emphatically condemned by the all but una nimous vote of two public meetings ; there was, indeed, but the single negative of the utterer of the phrase him self—HE STOOD ALONE. "The THIRD proof arises from the conduct—that is, the acts of the Catholic people, during the agitation for ' emancipation. We had our tens and our twenties of thousands of meetings. We had our Catholic boards, and Catholic committees, and, finally our great Catholic Association. But there was no riot, no violence, no tumult. No Protestant was injured in person or property by the Catholics in their struggle for emancipation. No Catholic associator was ever aocused of any crime, committed in the struggle for relief, with the exception of myself ; and then the charge of sedition was so frivolous, that the bill of indictment against me was ignored by a grand jury— the foreman and two-thirds of whom were Protestants, and several of them Orangemen. There was not one single assault committed in the agitation for emancipa tion. I, one of the most prominent among the agitators, and, probably —may I venture to say it—one of the most popular, repeatedly declared, that I would abandon the pursuit of emancipation if it were stained with one single drop of human blood. And, blessed be Heaven ! no such stain taints that cause. " The FOURTH proof is derived from this, that my principle has been throughout, and is, that' every change of political institutions should be effected by exclusively moral and peaceable means;' and ' that no amelioration, however in its nature valuable, in the laws or government, should be purchased by any one crime or sin of ever so small a degree—and, above all, is not worth the purchase by the loss of one single life.' " This doctrine I have preached and practised. By the assertion and practice of it the Irish people carried the emancipation ; and I, who am the original apostle of this doctrine of peace, possess, it is manifest, the unlimited confidence of the Irish people. Oh, how idle must be the jealousies and fears of any of our Protestant fellow-coun trymen ! "My FIFTH proof is to be found in the conduct of the Catholics after emancipation. There was no insolence of triumph—no insult to our former oppo nents. The usual demonstrations of public joy were forborne. There wero no bonfires—no illu ' minations—no exhibitions of public delight, lest they should be deemed insulting to the defeated Orange party. The active Catholic courted the good-will of the Orangemen—we entwined the Orange round our Green ribbon—we did all we could to conciliate. We combined both colours, and we did all we could to combine both populations. I, myself, for more than six years, courted the Orangemen in every way in my power. I was laughed at for my pains. Though no man likes to be the object of ridicule, yet I bore it, and persevered in my efforts to conciliate the Orangemen. They refused to be conciliated, and yet they were suppressed by an Act of Parliament, brought in by their own friends, the Tories —an Act which we, the Catholics, did not call for, and which many of us opposed. " My SIXTH proof is also derived from ;the conduct of the Catholics since emancipation with respect to the parliamentary and municipal elections. In no instance, at any parliamentary election, was a Catholic preferred to a Liberal Protestant. In every instance of parliamen tary elections a Liberal Protestant has been preferred to a Catholic. The same principle and practice have pre ' vailed in our municipal elections. In every instance the Liberal Protestants have been preferred to Catholics. The office of Lord Mayor of Dublin has been filled by three gentlemen since the Municipal Reform Bill. The first was a Catholic—the second a Protestant. The third is a Catholic ; but his successor, the Lord Mayor Elect, is a Protestant. This evidence of a total absence of a bigoted feeling among the Catholics is the stronger in Dublin, where the Catholics had been, for near forty years efromd to the conduct of the Catholics that these idle jealousies and capable, before in m point a o n f c i I p a a w t n, and of b r being t freemen several years ofe thers after,corr. r e a f l o l e w , a p t o t r ai at n io e n ve ; n y t e h t at n s o m t a o ll ne ho s n in e g h l t e . C l a t t i h s o o li o c t, w th a e s fears arise ; but, unhappily, from some self-condemna tion on the part of several Protestants. It is in human nature that some of them should be unable to believe, even from the most distinct proofs, that others are more liberal than they are themselves. " The SEVENTH proof, that unlimited confidence may be reposed in the Catholic people of Ireland, I draw natu rally and forcibly from the conduct of the people at the monster meetings last year—meetings at which not only no violence was committed, but not even one single acci dent occurred. At the lowest calculation, one million of Irish assembled at Tara ; yet, not one single person was pressed upon, or trodden upon, or hurt, or injured— aye, even by accident ! Are not these a people fit to share in the government of their native land ? Oh ! how idly are jealousies and fears entertained of such a people. " The EIGHTH proof is derived from the mighty tem perance movement. More than five millions, principally Catholics, have taken the pledge. A very small per tentage, indeed, have violated it—a per tentage so minute as to be almost incapable of enumeration. Tem perance carries in its train to the house of the poor man many and many a social virtue. Vice of every kind flies before temperance. Amongst the temperance men th e religious feeling is easily predominant. The public houses aro deserted ; the altar-rails are thronged. Oh, blessed be God ! the Irish people are fit to be a nation. Who so fit as they ? "The NINTH proof, that the jealousies and fears of Catholic ascendancy are Wounded and preposterous, is grounded on the number and strength of the Protestants themselves. If any attempt were made to establish a Catholic ascendant - y, all the Protestants would naturally and necessarily rally against such iniquitous proceeding. They would be joined by all the liberal and enlightened Catholics, and by all the just, generous, and humane Catholics. They would be backed and supported by Protestant England. Their enemies would have all the weakness belonging to injustice. The Protestants would hare on their aide the powerful moral force of being in the right and suffering unjustly wrong. Ido firmly re peat it, that nothing in nature can be so absurd as for the Protestants of Ireland to apprehend a Catholic as- • • cendancy. " My TENTS proof of the idleness of any such tear is the fact, that from the state of property in Ireland, a very great number of the Members of the house of Com _ mons — must be, and probably a majority would be Pro- testants. In the Irish House of Lords the Catholic Peers are about five per cent, of the entire. How is it possible to apprehend that any ascendancy law could pass such a Parliament ?—and it is still more impossible that such a law should receive the assent of the Protestant Mo narchof Great Britain and Ireland. " My next proof is deduced from the conduct of the Repeal Association and its agitators on the triumphant event of the reversal of the judgment against leading members of the Association. There never was a prose cution more vexatiously conducted. The usual courtesy —a slight one in itself—of allowing us to appear by at torney, was refused. We were compelled to be in readi ness to appear in Court every passing hour. I will not dwell upon the one-sidedness of the charge of the Chief Justice, whose nephew has got an excellent place in the Castle, and whose son-in-law has got that excellent thing, an Irish bishopric, from the prosecuting Govern ment ; neither shall I dwell on the now• for-ever-admitted on the face of the record fraudulent management of the jury list—nor shall I dilate upon the unjust imprison ment which we have sustained for no less than three months ; an imprisonment for which, as the record now demonstrates, there is no kind of justification or pallia tion ; an imprisonment which the Court itself offered to suspend if the A ttorney -General, that is, the Irish Go vernment, would consent. I pass over, also, without com ment, what Lord Cloncurry has called the ' projected mas sacre at Clontarf.' I pass these by for the present as mate rials, I trust, for Parliamentary inquiry and impeachment. But I avail myself of them for the single purpose of showing that never were men so provoked, so un justly stimulated to irritation and revenge, so ex cited to break out into an exuberance of revengeful joy ; never was there a set of men more entitled to all the vio lence of triumph at the ultimate reversal of the judgment ; yet, Protestant non-repealers, we appeal to you whether passion was not suppressed, irritation and excitement mitigated and soothed, every species o f insult downitavoidiendt:l agitation, instead of being reproached by cooled e o a u r r an e e n:m o f ie v, s ,b a a s t tsomething ;yes,tha t we easb have e en r preferred eP the ap y p we could not feel, timidity, by the excess of our meek ness, to anything that a c n o k u s ld of prevent a single non-re- pealer from joining , the e fl r ect deeply n;oreupbeaalve,erseveryhis country. y t o h u ese ca d n iffe i r ia e v n e t everything to The g u a p in o — n topics; "So to business, Ireland o f a n c o i t r circulation, tio n than, nothing to lose—by the re l 'he repeal will restore s ip i n xm e rio o n y s ra p e e i r lt' an w nu a m ges ; , bu a t nc l l am not at present arguing the question ; every man in Ireland intuitively knows that the Irish ought to make laws for Irel ' ' PUBLICA' 'IONS.

" Darrynane Abbey, Caherciveen, 2d Oct., 1844. " Sir--I am extremely anxious to bring the emphatic attention of the Association to that which I deem the most important of all the duties which they have to per form at the p resent most auspicious period. We have obtained the most ♦aluable victory that ever was achieved, by purely moral means. The victory of Wa terloo was the mere triumph of physical force, combined with military organization ; it was a brutal and a bloody scene, and much of what are called its glories depended upon chance and accident. " Ours, on the contrary, was the triumph of the first principles of civil liberty, and of the judicial merits of our glorious cause. That which triumphed was the great constitutional principle which sanctions the right of free discussion to the inhabitants of these realms. It was that principle which battled with, and triumphed over, the well-arranged conspiracy to extinguish popular sentiment, and to limit and restrain the efficacy of peace able popular exertions. " The object we had in view was perfectly legal and perfectly constitutional—the repeal of an Act of Parlia ment ; and the efficacy of our struggle ought, in consti tutional reasoning, to depend on the numbers of those who were convinced of the necessity of such repeal. The effort of Ministerial despotism was, by the prosecution, to prevent the exhibition of that multitudinous public sentiment which could alone require or obtain success. It was a struggle on the part of our governors to make the exhibition of the extreme pressure of a grievance sti mulating multitudes to call for redress, a conspiracy and a crime. It was the manifest design of the Irish Govern ment to introduce a new doctrine into our law—the doc trine that numbers constituted crime ; so that when the oppression of a tyrannic law affected the great majority of the nation, that very majority should be treated as essentially criminal, and be used as a legal instrument to prevent the redress of the grievance. The more univer sal the cry for relief, the more impossible would a suc cessful prosecution have made it to obtain redress. " Our triumph on the jury question was, if possible, still more vitally important. If it were once established that the jury list might, with safety, be fraudulently spoliated or arranged, on the ground that the fraud was not committed by the Sheriff himself, then, indeed, the trial by jury would become a delusion, a mockery, and a snare !' "We have, in truth, gained a great victory. Yet there has been nothing of the insolence of triumph in our demeanour. We have borne our success with meek ness, and in the fullest spirit of conciliation. " But we should be guilty of a criminal 'neglect of duty if we did not avail ourselves of that success in order to achieve the great object of our desires—the restora tion of an Irish Parliament. " Our business is not to irritate or provoke any por tion of our fellow-subjects. Our duty—our sacred duty —is to conciliate all classes and persuasions; and, if pos sible, to procure the entire Irish people to join in the struggle to obtain the right of Irishmen to legislate for themselves. " Upon the subject of the repeal near nine-tenths of the Irish people are perfectly agreed. They are con vinced of its necessity. They have no doubt of its practicability. The monster meetings have placed be yond a shadow of doubt the determination of the over whelming majority of the Irish to obtain the restoration of their own Parliament. If that fact had not been demon strated by the meetings of last year, we should continue to hold similar meetings, now that the legality of the largest possible peaceful assemblages is fully established by the unanimous opinion of all the English judges. It was in the 6th and 7th counts that the holding of those monster meetings was alleged to be a crime; and all the English judges were unanimous that those counts were essentially and radically bad. We could, therefore, hold more monster meetings, if it were at all necessary; but there is no such necessity. The opinion of the Irish people was emphatically pronounced in the forty-one monster meetings we held last year: and as it is not ne cessary to hold any more such meetings, it would appear to be insulting braggadocio to revive them. We will re vive them only in the case, that it should with any plau sibility be hereafter asserted that the mass of the people had changed their minds on the subject of repeal, and were no longer in favour of the Irish making laws for Ireland. ". Having thus in favour of repeal the overwhelming majority of the Catholic population—clergy and laity— and having also been joined by many, very many Pro testants—by a large body of Presbyterians, and by some other enlightened Protestant Dissenters, it only remains for us to conciliate and combine the residue of the Pro testants of every class and description. This, I repeat, is our task, oar duty—our pleasing duty. " What is it which prevents the remainder of the Pro testants of all descriptions fromoining for the repeal ? Not any disinclination to have Ireland legislated for by an Irish Parliament —u p on that subject Mr. Porter's letter is a dem onstration that all the Irish, of . every class, a re agreed. But the combination of all is pre vented by idle jealousies and unfounded fears. "It is our business to remove these jealousies and absurd fears. We should entreat, implore, conjure our Protestant fellow-countrymen to listen to us. We should solemnly assure them that the Catholics desire no civil nor ecclesiastical ascendency ; all they desire is perfect equality—that perfect equality which the repeal of the union alone can produce. " We can most confidently assert that the Irish Pro testants ought to place unlimited confidence iu their Catholic fellow-countrymen sntl ahnva .11 tbnf " Let me, then, state the principles upon which the simple repealers' desire to act ; and let me show how far the federalists concur in those principles. " The FIRST principle is founded on the determina tion, at all hazards, to preserve the connexion between Great Britain and Ireland, throagh the means of the power of a sole executive, and the golden link of the Crown. `• In this principle both simple repealers' and fede ralists' completely agree. " The SECOND principle results from the necessity of the repeal of the union statute, 50th George 111., chap. 47. "The statute must be put out of the way legally and constitutionally. "In this principle simple repeaters' and fede ralists' equally agree. Both, in fact, being repealers of the union, because federalism can commence only after the repeal of that statute. " The THIRD principle arises from the necessity of a reconstruction of the Irish Parliament. " This principle belongs, in common, to both classes of repeaters, simple repealer' and federalists ;' be cause, the mere repeal of the union statute would not answer the purposes of either party. The mere repeal of the union statute would revive the Irish Parliament, without the benefit of any reform schedules—it would give two members to the ruined abbey of Tulsk—two members to the round tower of Kilcullen—two members to the SANDS of Bannow—and two members to the churchyard walls of Clonmines. This would never do. Federalists' and ' simple repeaters' agree that this would never do. " There must, therefore. be a reconstruction of th• rish House of Commons. " The FOURTH principle consists in the restoration of the Irish house of Lords, in all its integrity. " Thus far, all parties, • federalists' and ' simple re pealers,' are agreed. " There is one distinction which should be clearly un derstood, and all confusion avoided on the subject—that is, a distinction between the NODE of reconstruction of the Irish Parliament, and the POWERS which shall be vested in that Parliament when reconstructed— _ " First, reconstruct your Parliament; and, secondly, decide what powers that Parliament shall have when re constructed. " Upon the mode of reconstruction of the House of Commons, the ' federalists' and ' simple repealers' might and ought to agree. It is true that the ' fede ralists' have not as yet any official organ, and, therefore. there is no statement of their views as to that reconstruc tion. It is also true that Mr. Grey Porter has, on this subject, thrown out objections to popular plans for re constructing the Irish House of Commons ; and these o n b jdec merit t ion s m from him, deserve the greatest weight. a , t c h oing e fullest and most deliberate consideration. He himself appears to be of that temper of mind, that he Lave long will patiently consider the arguments that may be used They he propose sam e to solve his objections ; and whatever the result may be. the discussion of these objections shall be conducted in since i h nr,c mosteTlhaei d 'simpleth e ir amicable lnroej w p l at 1 be a re n si d b. , r i oe n nt t it l i i iel e ep b ou e tb s hl t ei e t r e . h m a p Tn e dh r ~ Commons— that the number of members should continue as the former number in the Irish House of use that the rcpresentatiun should be population—that being na , n , l i ly h , ey 3O p O r . op based upon the numbers of the the basis adopted for the English counties by the Eng lish Reform Bill. L e t t hi s b e kept in mind men;taptoiponulao-f thin, exclu s i ve ly, the representatives of the English " counties by the Eng lish Reform Bill. " Taking up this English basis, the simple re pealers' submit that there ought to be in Ireland In county members—of those Antrim would hare 6, Ar magh 5, Fermanagh 5, Londonderry 5, Tyrone 6, Down 7, Monaghan 5, Cavan 5, Donegal 6—Total for Ulster, 50. I mention these particulars regarding Ulster to show, that in our proposal complete justice is done to the Protestant province of Ulster, upon the same seal. precisely with the other provinces. " There being thus 173 members alloted to the coun ties, there remains for the towns and cities 127—0 f which, for example, four are allotted to Belfast. four to Limerick, and two to the Dublin University. Association, k thn nr irveirrsvninm l ' e schedulethe to 4 th t zr o efo i‘ r i t a p y r:s l c B n 4 t o e , d wtoillthgei4ept..eualll " shall simply confine myself to a quotation of the most perfect truth from the late Lord Chief Justice Bushe. His words tire—' Iforget for a rucaneut the un principled means by which the union has been promoted. and I look on it simply as England reclaim- . ing, in a moment of our weakness, that dominion which we extorted from her i n a moment of our virtue —a dominion which she uniformly abused—which invariably oppressed and impoverished us, and from the ex tortion of which we date all our prosperity." He added— ' The union is a measure which goes to degrade the country by saying it is unworthy to govern itself. It is the revival of the odious and absurd title of conquest—it is a revival of the abominable distinction between mother country and colony which lost America —IT IS THE DENIAL OF THE RIGHTS OF NATURE TO • GREAT NATION FROM AN INTOLERANCE OF ITS PROSPERITY.' "Now, I take it that no proposition was ever so per fectly clear as this ; that Ireland cannot, and will not, submit to that denial of the rights of nature which be longed to her as a great nation and a virtuous people. It is perfectly clear that things cannot remain as they are. there must necessarily be a change. This is asserted as distinctly and emphatically by the Conservative member of the Corporation of Dublin, the talented Dr. Maunsell. as it is by me. The Irish people have more of the virtue of perseverance than the peopld of any other country on the face of the earth—they have been spo hated of property, it is true, but they have retained, tenaciously retained, their opinions, their sentiments their affections, and, above all, they have clung to their religion with desperate fidelity. Z hey, are, I repeat, the most persevering people on the face of the earth—they never will, they never can, abandon the cause of repeal ; and they will ultimately carry that measure, as assuredly as that to-morrow's sun will rise. Whilst we, leading agitators, and particularly whilst I happen to live. they will never seek to carry the repeal by forcible or violent means ; but the man is worse than man who does not perceive in the conduct of the Irish people that determi • nation to establish self-government which, when the pre sent leaders, and I amongst them, are removed, may well produce separation, but can sever tolerate the continu ance of the union. " This, indeed, isjust the time to carry repeal peace ably, quietly, legally, constitutionally. We are arrived at a time when it the Protestant and Catholic non repealers abandon their apathy or opposition, and join in the agitation for repeal, the union can be repealed without danger, difficulty, tumult, of force; and without, in any way, disturbing the rights of property, or the enjoyments of social life. A bloodless political change. such as that of 1829, can now be achieved without diffi culty—a bloodless political change, such as that of 1782, can now be achieved without the least difficulty. Lord Althorp himself, when opposing the repeal, because called for by only a section, however large, of the Irish people, declared, that if the entire of the Irish nation required that repeal, they were entitled to it. This proposition was full of plain good sense. In fact, if the Irish nation were combined in a peaceable and legal struggle, resistance would be vain or impossible. " This is just the period when the union could be re pealed in the manner most satisfactory to those Pro testants who have hitherto been neutral or adverse, by reason of their fears of violent or tumultuary proceed. ings. The Repeal Association is ready, lam ready, for one humble individual, to join in the modes of acting most satisfactory to the timid or reluctant. It is a period in which the lead would be given at once to the aristocracy of wealth, and to the persons most exten sively interested in the prosperity of the country. The Repeal Association does not require any O'Connellite party. We are all ready to give to the house of Leinster, it, oh heaven! that family would once again join for Ire land; we are ready to give the illustrious Charlemont tamily —a family bearing a name to conjure with we are ready to give to any other of the Irish aristocracy ; we are ready to give to Mr. Grey Porter, or Mr. Shar man Crawford, or to any other gentleman of talent and fortune—Protestant or Catholic—the lead in the great movement. Especially we are ready to give, and we are giving heartily and cordially, to Mr. Smith O'Brien, to the Honourable Mr. Hutchinson, and to our other Pro testant associates, the lead in the great struggle to rein. state Ireland amongst the nations. " Indeed, the unlimited confidence which Mr. Smith O'Brien has acquired, and which the Hon. Mr. Hutchin son is daily acquiring, should demonstrate to all right thinking Protestant non•repealers, with what facility they would obtain their proper weight, and importance, and consideration in the contest for the repeal. and fir the reconstruction of the Irish Parliament. " This Is emphatically the time for Catholic and Pro testant non-repealers to join in the agitation. " If they wish, as they naturally must, to share in the government of their own country—if they desire to secure their estates from future convulsion, and if they wish to increase tenfold the value of their property, they will join with us in procuring the re-establishment of the Irish Parliament, without which there can be no lasting tranquillity in Ireland. "This emphatically is a period when good humour, good temper, thedisposition toconciliate, and the anxiety to combine all classes, prevails among the Irish people. There is nothing revolutionary in the dispositions of the repealers ; quite the contrary, an anxiety to prevent any forcible change, and to maintain the social state un impaired and improved. " Never was there a period of more good temper and hilarity. This is the time for peaceful combination of all sects and persuasions ; the very fact of there being a large military force in Ireland at present ought to give additional security against the prevalence of any vio lent or revolutionary disposition ; and that army, which has been sent here to prevent repeal, would necessarily be protective of the peaceful settlement of the great question. " Everything favours a combination at the present moment ; even the prevalence of the hitherto scattered elements of federalism now facilitates our great object. " It is true that federalism has not yet displayed itself in the strength which I believe really belongs t it. I know there are numbers of individuals who have not joined the Rep ea l A ssoc i ation, and yet are opposed to the continuation of the union upon its present basis, and desire a federal connexion in its stead. " In inviting those persons to join the contest for re peal, it is incumbent upon the Association distinctly to trace out how far simple repeaters' and federalists can go together ; as also to point out how far the road is common to both ; and to show distinctly where a dif ference, if any, arises between them. It is our duty to canvass the particulars of that difference, and to yield to whatever appears most practical and most useful in Ireland. " For my own part, there never lived a being who would less than myself claim any species of infallibi lity. I would yield, for the sake of co-operation, every thing but principle. I would follow in the track of any man who seeks for the restoration to Ireland of the power of legislation.
