CHILDRENS' FRIEND SOCIETY.
At the ANNUAL MEETING, held on the 30th of
May, the COMMITTEE of MANAGEMENT were recom-
mended to take the necessary steps for establishing an
INDUSTRIAL ASYLUM at the CAPE of GOOD HOPE,
on a similar plan to the Brenton Asylum at Hackney
Wick. A subscription has accordingly been opened for the
purpose of raising the sum of 2,0001, which will be required
to take and stock a suitable farm, and provide for the probable
expenses of the first two years; after which period it is ex-
pected that it will become a self-supporting establishment.
In this Colonial Asylum the children might be kept under
moral and religious training for a longer period than is now
possible, and might also obtain, on the spot, practical know-
ledge sufficient to secure their future prospects in the colony.

TO THE FRIENDS OF LIBERTY

IN ULSTER.

Fellow- Countrymen,—ln consequence of the trust re-
posed in us by the originators of the Ulster Constitutional
Association, in appointing us temporary Secretaries of that
body, we deem it right, at this important period, to address
to you a few observations.
By a resolution, passed at a meeting held in London, on
the 23d of last month, the duty was committed to us f
calling a general meeting of the Association, when cir-
cumstances should render it expedient. The following is
that resolution :

" That so soon as a sufficient number of members shall
have joined the Association, the Secretaries be requested
to call a general meeting, for the election of officers, and
for the further arrangement of details."
We immediately made arrangements, which have since
been in progress, for collecting the names of such Noble-
men and Gentlemen as desired to join the Association. A
large Number of names have now been returned to us;
and our determination was, and still is, to call a general
meeting of the Association, at the earliest convenient day
after the termination of the north-east and north-west
circuits ; but we feel that, in the mean time, it is expedient
that we should notice a communication which has appeared
in the public papers, addressed to us by the Secretary of
" The Loyal National Repeal Association of Ireland."

In that document we are charged, by implication, with
having unnecessarily delayed the calling of a general
meeting; and we are more directly charged with this
neglect in the reported speech of Mr. O'Connell. We
fb eve °illy to say to you, on this point,: that as Secretaries,
pro tem., of the Ulster Association, we hold ourselves re-
sposible to that body, when assembled, for the exercise of
the powers entrusted to us, but to no other authority.
It has been our desire, and we feel that we are war-
ranted in stating that it was the object of the noblemen
and gentlemen who projected the Ulster Association, to
obtain the support of all the true friends of liberty, both in
Britain and Ireland.

With this view, the Earls of Charlemont and Gosford,
as stated in the speech of Mr. O'Connell already referred
to. did communicate to him the fact of the formation of the
Ulster Association, and the principles on which it was esta-
blished. It is right, however that it should be clearly un-
derstood, that this communication was intended by them
simply as a manifestation of courtesy, and with a view of
obviating injurious reports as to the objects of the Associa-
tion, but not for the purpose of asking Mr. O'Connell's
guidance, whose approval or disapproval could not then
have made the smallest difference, with reference to the es-
tablishment of the Association, or to the principles of its
construction, both of which had been settled by the resolu-
tions of the meeting held some days before.
It would have been our desire to avoid collision with any
Association founded by Mr. O'Connell, or with any other
public body professing to support the principles of political
freedom, had we been permitted to act without interference
in the discharge of our temporary duties; but this has not
been conceded to us: censure has been cast upon us, and,
through us, upon this infant Association, before it has been
possible to bring its machinery into active operation; and,
an attempt being now made to assume an authority which
might, in our opinion, be productive of consequences fatal
to its success, we feel ourselves imperatively called on to
declare, on our part, and on the part of the originators of
the Association, that, while we desire to hold good fellow-
ship with all honest friends of freedom, we disclaim,—we
repudiate,—we determinately and absolutely repel,—any
claim by any individual, not being a member of the body,
or by any other Association, to exercise authority in direct-
ing or controlling the proceedings of the Ulster Constitu-
tional Association. That Association, we trust, will act
independently, and must stand or fall according to the ver-
dict of the country on its proceedings.
We deem it the more essentially necessary to proclaim
these sentiments, because it is, in our opinion, vitally im-
portant that the Ulster Association should be free from the
charge of any connexion, direct or indirect, with the Re-
peal agitation now proceeding under the guidance of Mr.
O'Connell. _ _ .

Without entering into a discussion of the bearings of
this proposition on the interest of both countries, we feel
ourselves called on to declare our conviction that the agita-
tion of this question will prove deeply injurious to the
great interest; we are desirous to promote. It tends to
divide the friends of liberty in Ireland, and to separate us
from our British countrymen—abates the energy of our
resistance to bad measures, and produces incapacity to de-
mand, with effect, those which might serve us. It weakens
the moral power of Irish opinion and Irish action, and
turns aside the people from any hopeful effort to promote
the public interests—agitating their minds on an object, of
the delusive nature of which ten years' experience might
afford sufficient proof, even to those who most ardently de-
sired its attainment.

Under these views, the second resolution of the Ulster
Association was adopted. It was not designed unfairly to
pledge those who might approve of the principle of Re-
peal, as to the line of conduct which they might think fit
to pursue, in any other position or under any other cir-
cumstances, but to preclude the possibility of that question
being raised in the Ulster Association ; and we are firmly
convinced that it is necessary this determination should be
adhered te, and that no society of united Reformers
could be sustained in Ulster, which was liable to be ap-
plied to the purposes of the Repeal agitation.
Fellow-Countrymen of Ulster,.— We now respect-
fully claim your attention to the propositions of our
Association. The Bill for your disfranchisement has
been postponed. ryou. base a temporary respite.
Use your tinie, then, to an effective purpose. The
sword is 3%11461c/6d over your heads, and how shall
you escape the danger ? You can only save yourselves
by the moral power of union, not only among yourselves,
but also with the friends of rational liberty in Britain.
This is a fundamental object of the Ulster Association,
which, if honestly and zealously acted on, must, in our
opinion, prove successful. We desire to see the rights
and liberties of Ireland founded on principles common to
the United Kingdom. We see no other harbour of safety;
and, acting on this view, we are desirous to take every
means to enlist the people of England and Scotland in our
cause, and to go hand in hand with the supporters of
liberty in Britain, in every constitutional effort for our
common benefit.

Friends of liberty in Ulster, such is the object of the
Ulster Association—such is the ground on which we claim
yo. or support.

WM. SIIARMAN CRAWFORD,
D. R. ROSS,
Secretaries, pro tem., to the Ulster Constitutional
Belfast, July 21, 1840. Association.
P. S.—The following are the objects of the Ulster Con-
stitutional Association, as agreed upon at the meeting held
at the residence of the Earl of Charlemont, on Tuesday,
the 23d of June :

"1. To combine, on a principle of united action, and
for purposes of public utility, all persons connected, by re-
sidence or property, with the Province of Ulster, who are
friends and supporters of constitutional freedom ; and who
accordingly recognize the just and reasonable claims of all
their fellow-countrymen, without distinction of religious
profession, to equal rights, to equal laws, and the blessings
of impartial government.
"2. To obtain for Ireland an equalization of all rights,
franchises, and benefits with Britain; and the closest pos-
sible assimilation of the laws and institutions of both coun-
tries; to the end that, by complete incorporation, the sys-
tem of imperial legislation may be rendered permanently
beneficial to the interests of the United Kingdom, and thus
strengthen and perpetuate a connexion advantageous, if
maintained on such principles, to the people of both coun-
tries, and essential to the preservation of this great empire,
in its commanding position among the nations of the earth.
" 3. To cons 'Hate and render efficient the moral power
of the friends of constitutional liberty in both islands, by
supporting their endeavours to bring the principle of the
Reform Acts into operation, aed forwarding all measures
which may be deemed conducive to the interests of the
United Kingdom.
" 4. To obtain such alteration in the principle of regis-
tration as will confer a more extensive franchise, ►vith a
greater facility of establishing it ; and, also, such im-
provements in the elective laws as will give protection to
the voter, in the flee and urcontrolled exercise of that
franchise.

" 5. To adopt such measures as may be deemed advis-
able, for securing the co-operation of Irishmen, of every
sect and party, in promoting the practical improvement of
their country—the employment of her people—and the
development of her resources, by procuring statistical in-
formation, by instructing the people in the nature of their
social and political relations, and by such other means as
enlarged experience may suggest."
