TO TUBE TRADES or DURUM:

(From the Dublin itforning Registet of Monday.)
Merrion-square, Monday Morning, Dees 27.
Fe ',Low-enmities—Mr Fortune 1.--11 e-who thinks he
is, and calls himself, but alas is not, the Weed of Ireland,
his availed himself of the moat despotic statute that was
ever passed by a ruling State to" eatinguieb to the very
ashes the spark of liberty in a subject realm. Lord
Atteleuea, with the aid of Mi. William Gregory ! ! ! has
declared that it would be dangerous to the public peace to
allow the Orangemen and the Catholics of Dublin to
unite the hitherto adverse colours—..to cheer together for
the memory of King William the Third, and for the throne
of King William the Fourth—to bury et hneth in etre nil
oblivion past feuds, and to cement in adamant recent, but,
I trust, perpetual friendship—to cembhte Mantels together
in the service of their common
.country by the bonds of
social chat ity, and in the presence of their common 4:lod.
Such is the mgattious diecovery which the aileiseis of
Lord Anglesea have made, and which he end William
Gregory have celebrated by their joint and several procla-
mation.
Whilst you were at variance the public peace was se-
cure ! Whilst you allowed yourselvea to he distracted by
dissensions .and criminal hatred to eitelitother,.theire,:was,
forsooth, no danger to the State ! The meinent you= oin
hand and heart in mutual affection, the exhibition of your
combined but pawed)* strength is, in ead.trutlt, deogeoous
to the national peace! 1 I
This, alas ! is sad mockery. If you bad met in Count-

quietude. When you meet in a peaceable, orderly,: and
harmless way, to express your sense of the propriety of
the repeal of the Union, by paying &compliment to an
humble posers lees individual—that moment the Algerine
Act is put in force, and you are proclaimed, as if it were
a matter of course, to use the despotic powers of-- an. Act
of Parliament.
Fellotv-anintryineti,—Yott will, lam sure, obey this
proclamation; let your obedience be prompt and
,eetire.
Give this day entirely and without reserve to the pruchf.
motion ; prove how utterly groundless were the timid
fears which dictated that proclametioe, by the iirnPle'fact
that even the issuing of so insulting a document exeites
imilly your tranquil pity and contempt, without provoking
you into any tendency to a breach of the peace, riot, or
disturbance.
If I thought it were possible that any 1010 man Whit
seek, honestly fur the repeal of the Union could ha be-
trayed into any violation of the law iu looking for that
measure, I declare solemnly that the moment my appre•
pension/ were realised I would at onceebandon the pursuit
of that repeal.
The Union must be repealed if the people will folloVe a
legal and constitutional course. The only thing that Could
give the. Union continuance would be turbulence, riot; or
other violation of the law. It is so clear to every huMan
being that the repeal must be useful to Ireland.—it is so
manifest that without a domestic Legislature abeiniteeiem
cannot be terminated or native industry fostered---it is so
perfectly capable of desionetration that Ireland would re-
ceive, instead of paying away, from limn to eight mil-
lions sterling every year, if the Union were repealed; all
this is so apparent, that every man in Ireland would de.
shire for the repeal of the Union if some were 'not
frightened for the safety of their persons tool property,
and it others were not terrified by the bugbear fears of
revolutionary violence. We have only to show by our
peaceable, orderly, and loyal conduct, that we scorn tur-
bulence and detest disaffection, and then indeed the cry for
the repeal will become nearly unenitnotts and altogether
irresistetile.
I ant quite convinced my advice will be, teken.rthat
there will not be tiny meeting or procession this day, but
that the proclamation, however unjustifiable and *rid(eu-
lotto, will be obeyed—simply bet:mote it is law.
1 will not for the present deplore the miserable stets of
our wretched country, which Is liable to be trampled on by
every stranger invested with a little hrief authority, Timis
state of things cannot hest much longer.- 'While the law
sanctions it we will otisyr—but we treasure up hi our secret
hearts the burning shame and bitter sorrow, that Ireland
should be the only country on the fetters( the earth, having
even a shadowy sernblence of free institutions, where inch
fantastic tricks can be played with irapunity,by persoue
in authority.
Let us obey the law, hut lit us not forget that we owe
this further infringemeat on our liberty to a Whig Admi-
nistration ! Bless the mark ! When the Whip are out
of office, they are the most liberal and enlightened of the
friends of human freeedont* the minim* they get into

friends, delight their enemies, and disruce themselves.
There is, however, one consolation. They cannot take
ouch ateps as these without sending over' another Lord

Kerthead, he cannot be a party to any measure whie t
