yet he bids iss despair airless his new noiritio be employed.
How ilifferent was his latiguage, when scarcely owe Minwer

polities olu aged as an insurmountable barrier fur a lime!
How did Mr. O'Connell speak when our hopes burg like

nsauding spirit to lift them from the stormed despoodessey
over which they drooped? If we identify our Quests** with

Hoestion,shoplifild as it is by plain right and obvious ex-

the mitres of thirty Bishops iglu the paradise of foule.o-
Liimigh, however, aims this New specolatiosi, upon whkh it
was scarcely worth my while In laid at so much length.
Let as now examine Mr. O'Connell's assertion, that there
is no likelihood—say, that there is nu possibility of suc-
cess. It must have been since the mouth of July last that
be swede this discovery ; nor has lie coudescenikd to state. by
whit process be leas arrived at this greed political mitts.
The wily fart on which be relies is She resigstation of Mr.

was the memo or which removed the Whigs front office; mid
there was, perhaps, a time when it would have bees wise to

perplexing a subject. Did Mr. O'Cusiatll, at SUS time. ad.
vise the Runiau Catholics to forbear ? Nu! he reserves this

try the embarrassoreat of • questiou which distracts them,
and is the usily top.c tin which they differ. But bow does
Mr. O'Ceeerll act at this jasmine ? The very issouseest that

He also says shut some of the Petithreere are "broad, and,
therefore, have no interest. What has become of Mr. O'Con•
nell's patriotism ? He gives in this opinitsn a ban sample
of the Irishman, into which he wishes to transmute every
stet. Does be throe lo say that an absence front this den-

card that an orater of !antiquity bail a Rote-player allays

pitched. It were well if Mr. O'Connell would, before he
pews his :text .Adreise;reonvate his languid love of country
with the of Eris."
Mr. O'Con.aell also says, that he has ehasged his mind.
If In the midst tar a debate spun she petition of thnosatadr,
a single individual was to rush before the House of Cow,
mons, and exclaim, " I have changed my mind—l disclaim
the petition, ?hough ! signed il,"--shonlal this permit, by
throwing a pebble into the stream, stop the whole current of
a great proceeding? Let Mr. O'Connell remember that all three
arguments of his are as app:icabk to every former Petition
as to the preseet. Oar Petition.: were generally submitted to
Mr. Grattan seven or eight mouths before they were pre.
rented. Did Mr. °Tousle!! ever iallegetbat suite of the
Petitioners were dead, or absent, or had chimera their minds ?
Mr. O'Connell lutist,, that the Resolueiotn intrusting our
Petitions to Lord Dououghmure and Mr. Grattan, contained
a clause that they should be presetited " forthwith or
immediately, he forgets which." A prime who builds
an argulnent upon a word, and does etbreementber it, shews
what sort of validity he sets upon it. Does Mr.O'Cunuell
really mean to woman the Catholics of Ireland, mud
is it with • " forthwith" that he is to upset the cause of his
country? But neithir Mr. O'Connell tow " Mr. any thiag
else," to burrow his own phraseology, shall dictate to she
Cetholhe body; and I must inform him that he wants Cie
power to du ill. The Petition was given to Lord Donough-
inure sad to Mr. Plunkett, that it might he presented as
soon as postinble ; and it was not postale to present it due-
lug the Net Session, *loess the Queen's ease Worked up all
the avenues of the State. To this Mr. O'Connell, however,
pay so attention, nut does he "Met to know that the guess

of comparative insigisidcauce. It is not in the shocks of an
earthquake that a'bOuite is to be repaint'. But to oppose
arguments of this Not Is to combat with shadows. Nei-
iher Lord Dossoughoore, our faithful advocate, nor Mr.
Plunkett, the legitimate sucreaor of Mr. Grattan, will be
swayed by such futilities. The latter Gtilihrllll4ll knows the
