MORNING SUN.

I not prepared for deciding on them; and consequently
they produced no sufficient excitement in their favour to
overcome the influences wielded on the other side.
Hence the results we have witnessed.

A knowledge of the cause of defeat is necessary to
prepare the defeated party to renew the battle with
more wisdom.

The very small majorities by which the Tories have
succeeded everywhere but in a few counties are most en-
couraging, for they prove that a VERY LITTLE popular
excitement would suffice to turn the nicely-balanced
scale against them. It will be hard indeed if a popular
opposition cannot succeed in winning favour, and strange
ifs Tory Government should fail to lose it.
The people have but to be united, and patient, and re-
solute, and their triumph cannot be far distant. Mutual
concessions must be made between those who differ about
details; anti-Tory and anti-Monopoly Associations must
everywhere be formed, and ample preparations arranged
to resist the attempt, that will doubtless be made, to im-
pose new burdens upon the country,, and to curt ail the
rights and privileges, and the civil and religious liberties
wrung front the oligarchy during the ten years of a Li-
beral Government.

To despair of success is to despair of the progress of
truth and right—it is to doubt God himself, who has de-
clared that INJUSTICE, whether of individuals or of
parties,—whether accomplished by open violence or by
bad laws—shall never long prevail; and Heaven helps
those who help themselves.—Somerset County Gazette.

MR. BUCKINGHAM'S NEW WORK.—The re-
cent elections have furnished abundant materials for
sober reflections to men of all parties ; and Mr. Buck-
ingham, having had an opportunity of seeing the working
of our system, and comparing it with that of America,
has given to the world the result of his conclusions, in
an original sketch of an entire new plan of fixing the
qualification, registering the electors, and taking their
votes, so as to prevent much of the excitement, riot,
fraud, bribery, and corruption of the existing system.—
It is a small volume, neatly got up, at a very moderate
price, and from its high moral tone and tendency, de-
serves extensive circulation.
A few days ago, says a letter from Marseilles, a
deplorable event occurred in the village of Bouc, on the
occasion of a charivari given to a sexagenarian widower,
who had just married a girl of 23, and who, having ex-
perienced some obstacles from the Cure, had resolved
upon dispensing with the religious forms of marriage,
and to be satisfied with the cereniony at the Maine,
This circumstance was supposed to have increased the
anger of the charivarists, but it appears that the-great
offence of the old man was his refusal to compromise
with them by giving them a dinner. On the return of
the newly married couple from the Mairie, they were fu-
riously attacked, and the female was dragged out of the
cart in which she was placed, and inhumanly beaten by
several women. The Mayor and the gendarmes inter-
fered, and with great difficulty rescued husband and wife
from the fury of their ignorant and barbarous assailants.

•
THE WEATHER AND THE CROPS.—The
continued wet weather has begun to excite apprehensions
as to the approaching harvest, in respect both of the
crops of hay and corn, in this part of the country. A
good deal of hay has been cut, but the principal tart of
it is yet in the fields : it is generally thin on the ground,
and will scarcely be an average crop. Owing to the
long prevalence of dry weather, the straw will be defi-
cient ; in other respects wheat and oats are looking
tolerable, but we fear they must suffer, unless we have
now a continuance of fine summer weather. Hitherto
we do not think much injury has been done in the neigh-
bourhood, though we hear a good deal of corn has been.
laid almost hopelessly in the southern counties.—Tyne
Mercury.

ARRIVAL OF GA VIN SCOTT.—This morn-
ing, the above individual, whose case has excited so much
the attention of the public, was safely lodged in the Po-
lice-office of this city. He was brought from London by
the mail, in custody of Cuthbertson, one of the division
officers, who had been despatched to London for the pur-
pose. On reaching Glasgow, the poor infatuated lad
evidently felt much; on stepping from the coach, he ap-
peared to shrink from the gaze of the spectators, and his
face was deeply flushed, but, on entering the office, it
became deadly pale, and he seemed somewhat faintish,
partly, perhaps, from the fatigue of the journey down-
wards. Soon after being placed in his cell, Scott fell
fast asleep. Early as the hour of his arrival was (one
o'clock), he was followed to the Police-office by a con-
siderable crowd, anxious to obtain a sight of his coun-
tenance ; and we may state; that yesterday, on the pas-
sengers by the Liverpool steamer reaching the Broomie-
law, there was a large crowd upon the quay eagerly ex-
pecting that he would come to town by that conveyance.
—Glasgow Argus.

ANTIQUITIES.—At Lyons, a few days ago,
some workmen found, in excavating the foundations of
a building, two gold coins of Augustus Caesar, a gold
bracelet and necklace with pearls, and various other va-
luable objects of Roman art, all in fine preservation, and
the intrinsic worth of which is estimated at I,ooofr. Near
Beaucaire on the Rhone there has been recently disco-
vered a small statue of Jupiter, which from the nature of
its execution, is supposed to be of the time of Tiberius,
when native sculptors began to exercise their art in Gaul.

We believe the breed of partridges is generally
good in the adjoining counties, although in many of the
coveys the birds are rather small.—Bristol Standard.

THE EXHIBITION OF MANUFACTURES AT
BRUSSELS. The public exhibition of the works of
Belgian industry will take place at Brussels during the
ensuing months of August and September. Belgium,
long celebrated for the variety and perfection of its pro-
ductions, and for the extent and importance of its manu-
factures, has made during the last ten years great pro-
gress—a progress which merits the attention of the com-
mercial world. In the provinces of Hainault, of Liege,
and of Namur, as well as in Flanders, proofs are every

where to be met with of the commercial and manufac-
turing industry which has made of a country limited in
extent one of the richest and most remarkable for its
trade. Her relations with England, which are daily in-
creasing, have powerfully aided in the extension of her
manufactures, and the progress of a science (steam
navigation) which has become all but the mistress of the
world. The foreigner will find his attention arrested by
the immense factories of Seraing, by the cannon foun-
dries of St. Leonard, by, the iron and coal mines, and
the numerous manufactories of arms and machinery, be-
sides those of glass, carpets, cottons, and stuffs, which,
from the rapidity with which they are produced, are sold
at the most moderate prices. The exhibition, although.
made the occasion for the distribution of prizes, has a
strictly commercial object, and is intended to afford the
exhibitors an opportunity of disposing of their goods ;
everything seen is, therefore, entered in a catalogue, with
the name of the manufacturer and the price of the com-
modity. It is expected that the approaching exhibition
will be attended by a large concourse of persons from,
all parts of the civilised world.

RELEASE OF MR. MEDHORST FROM PRI-
SON.—This person, whose case has lately acquired re-
newed interest in the eyes of the public, in consequence
of the erasure of the name of Mr. H. Moreton Dyer
from the commission of the Peace for the county of Mid-
dlesex, was on Saturday last released from his confine-
ment in the House of Correction, Coldbath-fields, upon
an order sent down from the Home-office. It appears
that for some time his health had been on the decline,
and that, since the interference of Mr. Dyer in his af-
fairs, the symptoms of an internal disease, the early
stages of which had previons_ly manifested themselves,
have been greatly aggravated. To such an extent had these
symptoms increased, that it was found necessary to
call for the advice and assistance of an eminent physi-
cian, whose opinion was of a nature to induce the Visit-
ing Justices of the prison to forward a certificate as to
the state of the patient to the Marquis of Normanby.
Subsequent visits tended to confirm the original impres-
sion of the medical attendant as to the danger of the at-
, tack, and further certificates were sent to the Noble
Marquis, describing the character of the disease, accom-
panied with the expression of a conviction, that unless
Mr. Medhurst were set at liberty the worst result was to
mind of
be anticipated. The excitement created in h

of which may be termed the silk-gown question ; it
being likely that this verata questio will be brought be-

and the Rev. S. I). Waddy, of Hull. We shall also

THEATRICALS.--A rumour prevails in this
city, which, if authentic, cannot but promote much dis-
may behind the curtain. It is to•the effect that our ex-
cellent and spirited manager, who has so long and so
dauntlessly opposed a valiant front to difficulties and
perils which would have disheartened, or, it may be,
crushed, many a man less resolute and enterprising,
has been at length compelled to post a notice in the
green-room stating that he will be happy to receive pro-
posals of engagements from ladies and gentlemen for the
ensuing season, but that he grieves to state that, in con-
sequence of the almost total desertion of the theatre of
late by the public, he will be obliged toform his salaries
on a scale greatly lower than that which he has hereto-
fore been in the habit of awarding. This announcement
will, we fear, cause the secession from our corps dra-
matique of many of its most valuable members. That
it should come to this in the second city of the British
empire ! Mr. Calcraft's zealous and most enterprising
efforts in support of our national theatre must win for
him the applause of every man who has the honour of
our country at heart , and it is indeed disgraceful in.the
last degree to the people of Dublin that they have.
not seconded his able endeavours. The mere fact
speaks libraries for our lack of taste, discernment, public
spirit—nay, more, and of common intellect. It has
been well remarked that the prosperity of the drama in.
a state is ever proportionate with the civilization of the
people.—Dublin Paper.

MORNING SUN.

IRELAND.

MARRIAGE OF THE LORD LIEUTENANT.

DUBLLN, JULY 26.—This forenoon the nuptials of his
Excellency, the Earl Fortescue and Lady Somerville
were solemnised at the Viceregal Lodge, Phoenix Park,
by the Lord Bishop of Cashel. The ceremony was pri-
vate, only the immediate relatives of the parties being
present.
Yesterday the Lord-Lieutenant entertained the fol-
lowing party at dinner, at the Viceregal Lodge :—Lord
Viscount Morpeth, the Chief Remembrancer, the Attor-
ney-General, the Solicitor-General, the Right Hon. T.
Kennedy, Mr. N. Macdonald, Mr. Fitzsimon, Mr. Corry
Connellor, Captain Romilly, the Hon. J. Fortescue and
the Hon. St. George Foley, Aides-de-camp.

PETITION AGAINST THE RETURN FOR WA-
TERFORD.

The petition of the Reformers against the fraudulent
return of the Tories for the city of Waterford was lodged
in the Hanaper-office this day. Even if the Committee
should be composed altogether of Tories, they can
scarcely avoid setting aside the return, because the case
is so perfectly clear and decisive.
REPEAL ASSOCIATION—THIS DAY.

The ustial weekly meeting was held this day in the
• Corn Exchange, which was very much crowded through-
out the proceedings. Mr. O'Connell arrived at half-past
one o'clock. His appearance was greeted with the most
enthusiastic applause. Owing to the crowded state of
the gallery, nine or ten ladies were accommodated with
seats behind the chair. Michael Staunton, Esq., Proprie-
tor of the Morning Register, was called to the chair.
Mr. O'CONNELL said he had to hand in 4301. from
persons wbo did not wish at present to give their names.
—(Great cheering.)
The SECRETARY proceeded to read the correspondence
received during the past week. The first letter was from
the Secretary of the " Repeal of the Irish Union Society,"
at Providence, Rhode Island, America, inclosing
53/. 55.•2d.
Mr. O'CONNELL moved that this letter be inserted on
the minutes of the Association, and that their thanks be
given to their friends at Rhode Island. He hailed with
delight this generous expression of sympathy from their
fellow countrymen in America.
The next letter read was from the Rev. Mr. Brennan,
at Bellyille, County of Hastings, Canada, inclosing
18/. 45., being the subscriptions of 120 persons.
Mr. O'CONNELL moved the admission of these persons
as members of tie Association. He could do so in this
case, as they were their fellow-subjects.
The motion was passed with acclamation.
Other sums .were received from different parishes in
Ireland.
Mr. O'CONNELL then rose to call attention to the pre-
sent state of affairs. First, in Dublin, they had been
defeated by West and Grogan, but it should not be sup-
posed for a -tuoment by the Association that this defeat
was produced by decision of the real electors of Dub-
lin. The present Members had been returned by that class
of animals called " assessors."—(Laughter and groans.)
After making some comment on the Dublin and Carlow
elections, he proceeded to say, the present contest had
assumed an aspect of religious antipathy, which was
produced by the Tories. They had also excited a feel-
ing of hatred towards Ireland, even among the English
Catholics. He read an advertisement from the Tablet of
last Saturday, a Roman Catholic paper, for a cook ;
every qualification as to abilities and character was re-
quired, and she should be a Catholic, but there were
tacked to this advertisement the words, "No Irish need
apply." Here was an advertisement coming from a
Roman Catholic ! And this cool expression of national
antipathy was published in the only Catholic organ in
England. What would the English Catholics be now
but for the Irish—he might say for this room—for this
man ?—(Cheers.) Mr. O'Connell concluded by reading
the following address, which contains several topics al-
luded to by him :
" DECLARATION. OF GRIEVANCES AND RIGHTS
TO THE PEOPLE OF IRELAND.
" ' Hereditary bondsmen, know ye not,
Who would be free themselves must strike the blow?
Can Gaul or Muscovite relieve you?
No!
• By your own right arms your freedom must be wrought.'
" Corn Exchange, July 26, 1841.
" Fellow Countrymen—The Loyal National Repeal
Association of Ireland respectfully lay before you the
following declaration of the rights of Irishmen, and state-
ment of the wrongs and oppression which Ireland has
endured and yet endures.
" We ray before you a plain and unexaggerated pro-
position of historical fact, or of matter now existing.
We do not desire to mitigate anything, but we are deter-
mined not to exaggerate. The plain statement of facts
will have a more powerful and permanent effect than any
imaginative description.
" 1. No country upon the face of the globe ever in-
flicted upon any other country such wrongs and iniquitous
oppressions as England has inflicted upon Ireland.
"2. No country upon the face of the earth ever sus-
tained and endured from another country so much wrong
.and oppression as Ireland has endured from England.
" 3. No country in the world ever violated towards any
other country its plighted faith, and solemn treaties so
often and so foully as England has done towards Ire-
land ; from the massacre of Mulloghmaston to the treaty
of Limerick, and from the treaty of Limerick to the
unanimous pledge given to Ireland by King, Lords, and
Commons, in 1834, at the conclusion of the first debate
on the Repeal of the Union.
" 4. So far from having relaxed in the antipathy to the
Irish people, and- their hatred of the religion of the Irish
nation, the Engligh.people now exhibit more venomous
-virulence and acrimony than ever they did in the worst
periods of our history.
Another fact, that the disposition to insult the
Irish people is not confined to any party holding the
reins of power, is demonstrated by the fact that the mo-
tion to place the franchises of England and Ireland upgl
' an equality was opposed by Lord Morpeth with as much
determination as it could be by Sir Robert Peel, or even
Scorpion Stanley.
" 6. That the hatred of Ireland is not confined to any
Government, but is a popular and national hatred, is
proved by this fact—that the 'EngliSli constituencies have
returned to the present Parliament an overwhelming
majority of enemies to the Irish people, and especially to
the religion of that people.
" 7. That the English aristocracy have stimitlated, and
are at the head of the present hostile movement against
Ireland. They have used their influence in affording a
highly lucrative patronage to those organs of public opi-
:nion which are the most atrocious calumniators of Ireland
:and of Catholicity.
" 8. That the aristocracy of England, the leaders of
the present hostile movement against Ireland, have em-
ployed . enormeus masses of their wealth in the most pro-
fligate corruption of the English constituencies, in or-
der to procure the return to Parliament of the inveterate
and virulent enemies to Ireland and to Catholicity.
" 9. That this wicked hostility to Ireland and to ter
Catholic people is vicious, almost to a pitch of demoniacal
insanity, inasmuch as it is exhibited at a period when the
Irish people, instead of meriting this satanic hostility, are
in reality deserving of the respect and gratitude of the
English aristocracy of wealth and rank.
" 10. That the claim of the Irish people to such respect
and gratitude is' fended upon these plain facts ; that
Ireland never was sosgenerally, or for such a length of
time tranquil, or unstained by so few retaliatory outrages
:as she is now and has been during the Reform Adminis-
tration, and that the Irish people have not only refused
all cotnmunion with the torch and dagger Chartists,
but actually demonstrated their readiness to protect the
Throne and Constitution, at the expense of their lives,
against those misguided persons.
11 . That this diabolical enmity of the English aris-
tocracy and electors is still further enhanced by the fact
that it is exhibited in contravention of the mild and bene-
welent virtues, and just and patriotic intentions of the
-wise and illustrious Lady who fills the Throne of these
realms, and whom may God long preserve !
" 12. That another aggravation of the unprovoked and
insane hatred of the English aristocracy and electors to
people of Ireland is to be found in the contrast with
Scotland ; the majority of the Scottish people being de-
cidedly- favourable to justice to Ireland.
" 13. The insanity of the hatred of the English aris-
toeracy and electors towards Ireland is further demon-
strated by the fact that their re-establishment of the Orange
Oppressions and massacres in Ireland will by inevitable
'consequence, diminish the strength of the British empire
and its influence upon foreign nations, by rendering
the people of Ireland justly discontented and unwilling
to contribute in purse or in person to the support of
such a Government.
" 14. That under the Administration conducted by
Peel and Lord Stanley, it will be imprudent—and,in-
deed, utterly unsafe—to call out the Irish militia, as
that force must necessarily be constituted in the propor-
tion of ninety-nine Catholics for one of every other re-
ligion.
" 15. That Foreign Powers, in dealing with the Peel-
Stanley AdminiStration, will avail themselves of the
weakness and wickedness of that Administration, occa-
sioned by their flI misgovernment oreland.
" 16. That the conduct of the Tory aristocracy and
electors ih England is thus manifestly marked by that
insane self-delusion and political extravagance which ap-
pear from history to precede, as they presage, some sig-
nal national vengeance of the Almighty.
" We call the attention of the people of Ireland to
the consideration of the facts we thus exhibit. We lay
these facts before that people—not so much to stimu-
late their exertions as to guide and direct their conduct,
to inspire hope, and not to generate despair ; to suggest
to the natural shrewdness and sagacity of the Irish
tuition the impossibility of the continuance of a system
of administration so unjust, so iniquitous, and at the
same time so insane as that now threatened by the sup-
porters of Peel and Stanley.
" WE NOW PROCEED TO THE ENUMERATION OF THE
GRIEVANCES OF WHICH THE IRISH PEOPLE COM-
PLAIN :
" 1. Oar fir.it grievance is, that Ireland has not ob-
tained an equalization of privileges, franchises, and
rights, with the people of England and Scotland.
"2. This grievance is much aggravated by the fact
that Ireland was deprived of her natural protection—a
native Parliament—and burdened with the weight of
what is called a union, without being such in reality.
"3. The giant practical grievance of Ireland is, that
the ecclesia:;tical state revenues of the nation are enjoyed
by the church of a small minority.
_" 4. This giant grievance is much aggravated by the
fact, that the clergy of the dominant Church are in gene-
ra lvieulent enemies of the Irish people, hostile to their
rights,.; and calumnious of themselves and of their religion.
. ! I.nother great grievance of which the Irish justly
complain is, the scanty and inadequate measure of cor-
porate reform doled out to them by the United Parlia-
ment in a manner much more restricted than the corpo-
srvisim , 'oral enjoyed by the English and the Scotch.
..T.7 • he next great and outrageous grievance of which
ez.....15..a7fr, -tVlain, is, that the elective franchise in Ireland is

from five-and-twenty to thirty per cent. of the male adult
population of England and Scotland enjoy the elective
franchise.
" 7. The next great and outrageous grievance sus-
tained by the people of Ireland is, that they are inade-
quately represented in Parliament. The Irish ought,
upon a calculation oQ comparative revenue and popula-
tion, to possess more than 170 Representatives. They
have but 103.
"8. The next great grievance—and one of the most
emaciating; nature—is the enormous increase of the ab-
sentee drain occasioned by the union ; to the amount al-
together of, probably, more than four millions of pounds
sterling per annum.
" 9. That this evil is greatly aggravated by the stir-
plus revenue of Ireland being also remitted to England,
to the amount of nearly two millions sterling per annum,
thus exhausting Ireland by the payment of a tribute of
upwards of five millions sterling per annum.
" 10. That the greatest, the master grievance—the
source of all others to Ireland—is the legislative union ;
a union brought about by force, fraud, treachery, corrup-
tion, and bloodshed.
" It ought to sink deep in the minds of the English
aristocracy that no people on the face of the earth pay to
another such a tribute for permission to live, as Ireland
pays to England in absentee rents and surplus revenue.
There is no such instance—there is nothing like it in an-
cient or modern history. There is not, and there never
was, such an exhausting process applied to any country
as is thus applied to Ireland. It is a solecism in political
economy, inflicted upon Ireland alone of all the nations
that are or ever were. Under heaven there is not—
there cannot be any remedy save one, and that remedy
can be discovered and worked out by an Irish Parlia-
ment—and by nothing but an Irish Parliament.
" We have stated the grievances which Ireland
endures, and under which she actually suffers. Grievances
unparalleled in any other country.
" Yet, fellow-countrymen, it is, alas ! but too true, that
these grievances, which ought to satiate the malignity of
fiends, are not sufficient to satisfy the acrimonious viru-
lence of the Orange Tory party. That party audaciously
threaten to inflict upon the Irish nation the following
additional calamities :
" 1. They intend to carry into full effect the Scorpion
Bill of Stanley, to annihilate the elective franchise in
Ireland. They say they will have the power, and you
know they have the inclination, to annihilate the re-
presentation of Ireland, or to reduce it to a mere mockery,
controlled and possessed by the Irish Orangeists.
"2. The Peel-Stanley party add insult to injury.
They declare the that the people of Ireland are such,
' VILLAINOUS PERJURERS' that they justly forfeit all right
to adequate representation.
" 3. The Stanley-Peel party declare that they will fill
the bench of justice with the most acrimonious partisans
they can find—with men who declare their conviction
that the Irish are systematic perjurers, and that perjury
is encouraged by their religion.
" 4. The Peel-Stanley party declare that they will
not only thus deprive the Catholics of Ireland of all hope
or chance of justice from the Superior Courts, but that
they will forcibly compel the Irish people to submit to
such injustice.
" 5. The Stanley-Peel party declare that they will
select their Sheriffs from the most violent Orange par-
tisans from each county and city in Ireland.
" 6. The Peel-Stanley party declare that the will re-
store the practice, some time gone by, of packing Juries
in all the criminal cases ; and allow: no man to remain
on the criminal Jury panel but partisans of their own
religion and politics.
" 7. The Stanley-Peel party declare that they will
correct the lists of Magistrates by striking out several
impartial men, and adding to it clergymen of the Estab-
lished Church, and every virulent Orange partisan they
can procure.
" 8. The Peel-Stanley party declare that the people
of Ireland must submit to all these additional indignities
and iniquities, and that no efforts, however constitutional
and legal, to mitigate these evils, or to obtain relief, will
be permitted by the civil or military authorities.
" 9. The Stanley-Peel party declare that the Press in
Ireland shall be subdued ; that, in the present iniquitous
state of the libel law, they will meet every unpalatable
truth by a State prosecution • that they will prevent the
exposure of their crimes by all the inflictions which a bad
law and partisan Judges can possibly furnish ; by the
summary process of attachment, and by the equally vex-
atious, though more tedious, proceeding by ez-dficio in-
formation or indictment.
" In fine, between present grievances'andfuture oppres-
sions, the object of the Peel-Stanley party is to deprive
the people of Ireland of all constitutional channels of
exertion and of every ray of hope, and ultimately to
force them, if possible, into open insurrection.
" We caution yon, beloved friends, not to be provoked
into any such course. Your bitter and unrelenting ene-
mies would be delighted could they drive you into insur-
rectionary courses and violent resistance. You could not
gratify your enemies more than by adopting such a course.
A stronger argument cannot be used to induce you to
avoid it, than the certain knowledge that you could not
possibly please your mortal Orange enemies more than
by violating the law or committing any outrage.
You are unorganised, and you must continue to be
so. You are undisciplined, and you must 'continue to
be so. You are unarmed, and you must continue to
be so. England is at peace with all Europe and
America. The Orange party, once in power, could,
under such circumstances, pour into Ireland more
than 100,000 of the best armed, best disciplined, and
bravest troops in the world. They would be irresistible
in the field, whilst the dastard Orangemen, of no use in
the day of combat, would gloat upon the work of mas-
sacre, of female violation, and of every other crime which
the defeated and the defenceless could endure from the
malignity of human fiends.
Do not, therefore, we most earnestly and solemnly
conjure you—do not gratify your enemies by committing
any outrage. Do not give them strength by committing
any breach of the law.
"Remember, and keep constantly before your eyes,
the leading maxim, the very basis of the Loyal Repeal
Association—that WHOEVER. CO3I3IITS A CRIME
STRENGTHENS THE ENEMY.' •
" But there is another, a higher, a nobler motive for
your acquiesence in present evils, and for your submis-
sion to the law. It is to be found in your affectionate,
your grateful, your most dutiful allegiance to your illus-
trious Sovereign. May the great God of Heaven bless
and protect her ! Should you be reckless of yourselves,
yet recollect you owe a duty to HER and to your GOD,
to secure the tranquillity of her Throne, and to prevent
the possibility of disfiguring her reign by the shedding
of one drop of human blood. No political amelioration
was ever worth one drop of human blood.
"Be tranquil, then, fellow-countrymen—be forbear-
ing—be enduring ; BUT BE NOT WITHOUT HOPE. On
the contrary. be confident, be full of the expectation of
future and not distant triumph : the Orange-Tory reign,
the Stanley-Peel domination cannot endure long. In its
nature it must be transitory and evanescent. The ev

times that approach cannot last long. Amongst the
English people themselves Ireland has many active and
zealous friends. The friends of Ireland, to be sure, are
comparatively few among the English people ; yet,
taken by themselves, they are numerous ; and if they be
not zealous, they are at all events sincere. Hope some-
thing from the existence of your English friends.
`• The majority of the Scotch nation are with you.
Hope much from their zealous and spirited assistance.
" The Queen, my friends—our noble Queen—heartily
and sincerely desires to see justice done to Ireland : your
enemies are equally her enemies ; she is in their toils ;
she wears their fetters: but, with the blessing of heaven,
and the aid of good men, her bonds shall be broken, your
enemies scattered, and she shall be restored to the bril-

-----
giant freedom of her majestic throne.
" Be peaceable, be orderly—violate no law—commit
no offence. But whilst we conjure you to adopt this
course, in the voice of allegiance to the Queen, and in
reverence to your God, do we ask you to be acquiescent,
silent, torpid ? _ _

" No, no—a thousand times no !'

" On the contrary, we call upon you to rouse into ac-
tion, to be energetic, determined, persevering ; lose no
day, lose no hour in silent inactivity. Exert yourselves
within the limits of the law, and in the channels of con-
stitutional agitation, and no other.
" Hold meetings, register votes, prepare petitions to
Parliament. Tell that assembly manfully—and through
them tell the civilized world—how you think, and what
you feel.

" Let every parish in Ireland simultaneously meet to
address the Queen. Let us all pledge our lives, and all
we possess, for the protection of her person and throne ;
let us assure her that she may depend with the utmost
certitude upun the bravery and fidelity of her Irish
people.

"-Whatever be the result—whether the Queen shall be
allowed to select for her Ministry friends of Ireland, or
whether she shall be overpowered for a season by Tory
corruption and intimidation—let our fidelity be unim-
peachable, our allegiance
pure and unbroken—
"' True as the dial to the sun,
Although it be not shone upon.'
~ No despair, no hopelessness. On the contrary, be
and cheerful in your expectations.

one great, one unfailing
resource—one instrument of terror to the Orange Tories,
of protection and success to the friends of Ireland—the
peaceful
agitation of the Repeal of the Union.
~ We know Ireland well. We know by experience
the feelings and the wishes of the universal Irish people.
We know that the fibres of their hearts are entwined
around the restoration of the Irish Parliament. We know

to Ireland is to be found in the Repeal o the 'Union. It is
said the Repeal is imp
There is no such word in the vocabulary
a moral, a relicious, a brave people.
" Impracticable—to repeal an Act of Parliament ?
Impracticable—who that Repeal is required by the
overwhelming majority of a nation of near NINE MIL-
LIONS of human beings ? That which is really imprac-
ticable is to induce such a nation to continue to submit
to the gross, glaring, iniquitous oppression and misrule
of the Union.
" Rally, then, with us, men of Ireland. Let every
human being declare for the Repeal. Let there be no
parish without Repealers and Repeal wardens. Peace-
ably and constitutionally declare your determination,
by enrolling yourselves in the Loyal National Repeal As-
sociation of Ireland.
" There is no other means to prevent a separation
from England—from haughty, bigoted, tyrannical Eng-
gland—except the Repeal of the Union. There is no
other way to obtain prosperity or liberty for Ireland,
but the Repeal of the Union.
" Let, then, one shout arise from the Giants' Cause-
way to Cape Clear—from Connemara to the Hill of
Howth—let.there be but one universal voice upon the
breeze of heaven,
" HURRAH FOR TUE REPEAL 1 !"
