Mr. dot's O'CONNELL rose to move that the Pater be
inserted on the minutes, and proceed, si to c ,m:ne:.t ogre
it. contents. Ile spoke in strong terms of the ui;. ry of the
people, and the havoc which famine was ulna iv ranking
throughout the country. lie o satistiol that the: laiollotole
of Ireland were willing to do ail in their power to supply
food to the people, by employment upon p ablie work.. He
was satin NI of the anxiety of the government of Ir.:and to
give elfect to the benevolent intentirme of the landlords, but
they were imp del by the bail legidation of ie L. stir Rate
Act, mad the overament its England slid nut manic t the
necessary anxiety or enemy- in culling upon parlia-
ment to stipple its deficiencieo or to permit the
Irish portion sir the government to art up in cal treed
liras of its policy, and the methods of its operation. But
the Enelishoovernment sh,uld hestir itself and el ,vote it-
Kilt) die alleviation of the destitution of Ireland, ..ot only
on a comprehensive plan, but without •!elay. It they mom-
rested apathy on this pain!, ties• titioht rely upon it that the
movie of Ireland would bring bock Sir Wenn Peel, who
during the past year had manifested the 1..5.t putisecorthy
and humane anxiety to Fire the Irish people relief. The
government of England might rely npoa it that tho pe,el •
should hare heel, or the country would b convulsed web
turbulence and blood. The hon. potion:to then proceede,l
to enumerate the objections which have so (mow:only al-
ready been urged ngaiust the psuicy a:id provisions sit the
Labour Rate act. Ile stated that he slid oast believe the
Parliams nt, if called together this year, would aceele to the
efficient amendineut of the ae, hem' .e the Euzlish mind
was impr,ssed with the peen mina that all gr mt. for the
improvement of Ireland were jobbed, and never were Caul-
plutcly repaid. Now, that was an error; for he could show,
by parliamentary documents, that Ireland had paid more in
proportio tof the loans cdsance to bo'h countries siuce
the Union than Englan•l had. Moreover, Esiglan Iha I ac-
tually jobbed these loan's, fur she charged Ice and a higher
interest than that for which she raised toe money. But still
the Parliament would not fa om these perm:wits:ls, he believed,
amend the act if it UM C Aka together this year. But why
should not government net itself upon the dictates of pru-
dente and justice ? Why should it out expend the money to
he levied upon reproductive works, and rely upon an act of
indenu.ity. ? lie beliesed the Irish p !lion of the govern-
ment were prepar:al to act so if the Engl alt portion would
sit ire the responsibility with them, and he warned them to
do so and not permit the money levied upon the country to
be wasted. Most probably upon the assemb!ingnfParliamco.t
neat year, the pressure of the inevitable nez.ositi:a of the
country would color' cao.n Englishmen to abandon their
prejudices and give effect to the law ha the ileum svement of
the soil. Mr. O'Comiell then reoer:.el to the eircoler
in-tied to call the landlords of Ireland together, c on-
men.ling its purpose and urging is neeeeuty. While,
however, the landlords were a:.ing in this way
for themselves, th,y would do well, he urged, to
conciliate the people. These latter were impressed with the
full belief that the landlords always sliv.rted to their owe
interests whatever was legislatively intended for the hational
+amid, and the landlords would, therefore, do well to dis-
abuse them of that itupreasion by taking care, at the eon-
templattd meeting, to convince the people that they ,1i nut
' intend to use the money to be expended on impusvino the
land for the purpose of increasing their own teats. But
there must tooal and lath tar to the poor, or the re would lie
blood throughout the country. There w.,s a wisdom and
providence in the landlords' meeting even beyond its present
is.lvantage. They would nut, probably. receive whatever c tine
from him with favour, but still he was bound to state what
he thought. They should urge on government the im-
pros ement of the Labour Mee Act—they asiould tak, up
1 and advocate tile railway system, as it was done the other
day in Nay3lll—or they should cause the govertsnont to give
reproductive employment to the peop!e. lint what would he
Anne n:xt year ? aa.oulsl tile government fall heck upon the
system of no employment, scanty wales, and bad food?
I Would the Irish peasant, accustomed to the better system,
permit it ? Why should he ? Why -!could not government
maintain the better system? It was the union which had
I impoverished the people ; why s'.oul I not those who main•
tamed the union remedy the destitution it eluted? The
hon. iflntlesnon then proceeded to argue that the necessities
of the country evidently pointed to the necessity of repeal,
and that its accompltslimeid was as certain as that they
lived. Ile urged with great vehemence the iteess.ity of
patience, and promised the people that that association
would not give any support to a governuk nt that would net
supply the people with food.
The Rev. Dr. WYNNE, a Roman Catholic clergyman, fol-
lowed in the same course of ob-ervation' and warned the
government that, unless the people had food, neither the
influence of O'Contt ell nor of the Reiman Catholic priests could
preserve the peace of the country, or protect the sanctity of
puwrty.
Mr. TIMOTHY O'llittes, 14 P. for Cashel, suggested to
the government the propriety of lending money to such mi:-
way companies as had obtained sets of porliameut, and to
the gentry he suggesteel the example of the people of 'Meath
at Navan. Until thewe or similar w.asures were
adopted, he moan not join in the censures tad on the recent
art, whieh was humane io intention. He argued that to
enact the English Poor-law fur Ire-laud would be a mis-
fortarte ; hilt much better NA* it to have even that than the
present distress, under which men weakened, starved,
I and died. .
