, motives would be misconstrued by either tlpylnw.l 1-. r
peelers there, or not Repealers.—(Some coltttftti , % afttelimlei :1
if " There are none here but Ropealers.") Ile gas aware
I e should meet with some interruption on that pint. ; but
he should say, that no matter how many proofs had bes-n ad-
duced to make him a Repealer, he was not one at present,
but was content to give.a fair trial ; and that being his opi-
nion, he thought.it in the first instance right to state it. He
would again present himself to his fellow-citizens at the fermi-
nation ot the sitting of Parliament, and if they found that he
had not served them faithfully, and to their_ satisfaction, they
had the remedy in their own hands, and would dismiss him.—
; (Loud cheering.)
Mr. O'Cosisexet immediately rose and said, that he did
not mean to draw this festive meeting into a debating so-
ciety. They were there for other and higher objects ; they
were not at children's play—(Cbeers)—for the vitality and
the existence of liberty in Ireland were at stake.---( Cheers. )
He wanted to make one or two experiments to ascertain
their opinion—first, then, let those who approved of the
manliness with which Mr. Murphy avowed his opinions, and
of the honesty of purpose with which they were entertained,
hold up their hands.--( Here there there was a general and
simultmieous exhibition of hands. ) Let those now who be-
lieved with him (Mr. O'Connell) that there was now nothing
left for this country but the repeal, bobi up their hands
(Here the whole assembly rose as one man, amidst loud ar.d
continued cheering.) There was a demonstration which ought
to convince his young friend of how the current of opinion
rar.—(Hear, hear.) Mr. O'Connell continued—There was no
question between him and Mr. Murphy excepting on the repeal,
and thepolicy of bringing it forward. He (Mr. 11l urphy ) thought
that justice was to be obtained from England. He ( Mr.
O'Connell) would as soon hope for it from a packed jury ; for
the people of England were as a packed jury against Ireland.
—(Loud cheering.) Repeal, or no Repeal, was the question
between them. Mr. Murphy thought him wrong, while he
(Mr. O'Connell) thought the Honourable Member exceed-
ingly wrong.—( Hear, hear.) Mr. Murphy was for g.ving
a trial to England and Scotland. What hope from such
an experiment ? It was absolute folly.—( Cheers.) The
question of this evening was one of life and death—
it was the Repeal of the ITnion.—(Loud cheers ) It
was the pivot, as his young friend had candidly admitted,
on which this meeting turned.—(Hear, hear.) It was
the test of the evening, and he (Mr. O'Connell) would not
have come'to the dinner were it not so.—(Tremendous cheer-
ing.) Mr. O'Conne,l then went on to allude so some ob-
servations which had fallen from the Chairman, in reference to
his having, at one period, given up the agitation of the Repeal.
He Would ask his friend to d 3 him the justice to bear in mind the
circumstances which had obliged him to take that course. The
Repeal question had been prematurely pressed on the considera-
tion of Parliament.—(Cheers ) It had been lost by a majority of
417 to 24. It had not been met by a direct negative No; the oo-
vernment came down with a pledge to redress all the gr evancee
we had to complain of, and to do justice to Ireland.—( Cheers.)
That " pledge was solemnly tenet-ea-Into-11'Mb -King, Lords,
and Commons of England.—( Cheers). Was it wrong of him
to wait and see whether that pledge would be redeemed ?---
( Loud cheering)? But how had that pledge been redeemed ?
The plighted honour of England was tarnished.—(Cheers).
Redress was sternly refused; the experiment on the honour,
the justice, the good faith of England was honestly made and
had signally failed.—( Cheers). There was now an end of it.
The Cita zu.3lAzy rose to make his best acknowledgements
for the honour done hint in connection with his respected col-
league. The topic of the repeal of the Union had been too
amply and faithfully discussed to render further observations
upon his part necessary. He had thought that. the time
had arrived when no man would offer himself for the repre-
sentation whose mind had not been fully made up on the
great question.—( Hear, hear, and cheers.) Ineeed, when
speaking of his Honourable Colleague in England on the
subject, he intimated to him that the general feeling in this
country was in favour of repeal, the people being satisfied
that at the hands of an English Parliament justice would not
be done to Ireland.—(Cheers.) He valued Mr. Murphy's
pretensions to the representation too highly not to be satis-
fied that he, too, would, one day, join in the demand for
repeal. He did think that the man who knew the feelings
of the constituency on a great national measure, and saw
them, every day, more and more developed as were those of
the people of Cork on the Repeal—he thought such a man, if
not prepared to support the question, ought not to consider
himself a fair representative ot Cork.—( Loud cheers.) His
Honourable Colleague was, comparatively, a stranger to the
people of Cork, at least it must be presumed he was a stranger
to their feelings, or he would have declared for Repeal, have
pledged himself for its advocacy in his place in Parliament.—
(Cheers.) The time was now arrived, however, when the
paramount feelings and desires of the united and concentrated
millions of Ireland could no longer be disregarded, and when
to beemne candidates for the representation men must pledge
themselves to the advocacy of the Repeal of the Union.—( Ve-
hement cheering.)
The CHAIRMAN next proposed the healths of the Chairman
of the City and County Elections, Francis Bernard Beamish,
Esq., Danicl Clanchy, Esq., and John O'Hea, Esq.—( Cheers)
Messrs. BEAMISH, CLANCHY, and OSIIEA returned thanks.
The CHAIRMAN then rose, and proposed " The county re-
presentatives. One of them has already given a noble direc-
tion to the national energies, and an enduring impreetien to the
national character. The other, imbibing lessons of patriotism
from his distinguished colleague, is destined yet, from the bold-
ness of his views, and the honesty and manliness of his charac-
ter, to be one of the most prominent, as he is now este of the
most popular, of Ireland's representatives."

in existence were not abolished.—( Great cheering.) Stanley's
Bill should not pass ! That he pledged himself to; it should
not pass in the coming Session. Eight millions of Irishmenwould teach the Scorpion that Ireland should not be made the
sport of a malignant Statesman.—( Great cheering.)
The CHAIICAIAN proposed the health of the late Represen-
tative of the county—Air. Garrett Standish Barry. Drank
with loud cheers.
A few other toasts followed, and the meeting broke wit at
