Kr.VINT OF
ONE HUNDRED FEARGUS O'CONNOUS FOR

ONE.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

Stet—The—The Whigs s;ty they have "put Chartism id)
down." I wish some of them would take a tour incug. ;aily
throughout this district ; they would soon perceive their -
alts
error. The Chartists, farfrom being put down, are once 'itts
more arousing in their might. Tue procession formed - ')56
to welcome Collins and M'Douall into Manchester, ;erii
(which the Guardian calls a rather numerous crowd),
consisted of at least 5,000 persons, besides thousands
and tens of thousands who accompanied it. Thera ?'P'
were four bands of music, and nearly fifty beautiful
flays and banners. Rochdale has likewise given
M•Douall and Collins a triumphal entry. Middleton
does the same to-day. Leeds, Bradford, Bolton, York,
and nearly a dozen other places, are likewise going to
have processions and ,dinners. The National Charter
Association, into which all other Associations have
been merged, will commence their labours by sending
out ten or a dozen missionaries into the agricultural
districts. A general system of organization and clas-
sification is to be carried nut through the country.
Each town is to be divided into wards, each county
into districts, and a Council of seven are to conduct
true whole machinery. Manchester is to be the head-
quarters at present. A feather shows how the wind
blows, and the following circumstance will show the
feelings of the people :—Feargus O'Connor, in a letter
from York Castle, desired the working men to name
their children after him and the other leaders of the
Ch;rtists. The people have complied with this request,
and hundreds of children, both male and female, have
been christened Feargus O'Connor, Collins, Vincent,
&c. &c If our Governors were wise, they would
learn something from these slight things. He shows
you what an effect the liberation of Collins and
M'Douall has had in rousing the people. I may add,
that the Northern Star of last Saturday contains a re-
port of no less than twenty-eight meetings held in every
part (f the country. The Whigs will discover, who;
too late, that persecution will not extinguish truth and
righteousness.

I am your obedient servant,
A C H ARTIST.
P.S.—UNIVERSAL SUFFRAGE, AND NO SURRENDER'
IS OUR MOTTO STILL.

ABDUCTION AND VIOLATION

NEAR CORK.

An outrage of a very atrocious and determined ebo-
- was perpetrated or. Saturday week by four ruf-
fians upon a young female, the daughter of a respectable
farmer residing about two miles beyond Blarney'
They are four brothers, labourers, living in the parish 01
Grenagh, and it appears they had planned the oh'
duction of the daughter of a farmer named James,.
WaLh, who it was reported was entitled to a fortune of
OW. The daughter, whose name is Margaret, a girl of
about 19 years of age, left home on Saturday morning
and was proceeding to Cork to purchase some articles,
and witness the trial of a relative wbo was charged with
the homicide of a man named Murphy at Grenagh-
cross. She had not proceeded far on the road whet'
she was met by the four brothers Denis M'Carthy, Jac'
M'Carthy, Callaghan 11I'Carthy, and Felix *earthly,
who were driving a horse drawing a butt, which it is s".aid
they had hired for the purpose of effecting the
..'educ-
tion of this young creature.
About five o'clock in the evening, she I',ad executed
her business in Cork, and was on her way home, when
she was met again by the M'Carth.ys in Blarney-lane,
and the

she consented ; they went into a public-house,

and they travelled along the road beyond Blarney. until
they came to a cross which led to her father's house'
whore she made an effort to alight to go

other three held her down in the butt, and lightly twisted
her cloak round her head. She then screamed as loud
as her position would permit, but her voice was drowned
by the M'Carthys, who shouted and helloed as if th9tr
were all amusing themselves, still driving furiously iO
nearly five miles. She again renewed her efforts

escape, but they knocked her down, and draggld,
through several fields until they got to a corn field the
M'Carthy's house, when they again struck her,.a snitground, and after a desperate struggle of over "she

she found herself in their house.
They did not, however, remain long in the house 4i
they feared an alarm might be given, and that a tnao
named Lynch, whom they met on the road, might in-
form her father of the company she was in, when they
got two horses, and Denis mounted one of them, and
the unfortunate girl was brought out of the house by
the others, and put before him on the horse, and Felix
and Callaghan mounted the other animal, and the!
rode off by bye-roads to the parish of Glounthawne;
near K inturk, about seventeen miles off, and at break of
day on Sunday morning they alighted at the house of a
farmer named Riordan. In the course of the daY'
when the girl (for she had been watched closely by the
M'Carthys) had an opportunity, she acquainted Ri1.:;09
dan's wife with what had occurred, and the woman'
vised her to pretend to be dying, and that at the eari,e:s
moment, as she dreaded violence from the I‘l`Gertbl

morning, when the M'Carthys were silting at isa
kitchen fire eating some potatoes, and Mrs. "tier'. h

the young girl was lying, and put her out through

the woman and her daughter, until a child was sef
to inform the Rev. Mr. Moriarty, parish priest, ter
the outrage. The priest was not at home, but his sisfrrty
instantly went to the police station, and sent off a Piro

was at this time in jeopardy fro:n the effects of ia
treatment and fear. When the police were Corot a
