in infamy and blood.—(Cheers.) I oppose these measures, be_
cause they are uncalled for; because they go to aggravate that
very disease which it is pretended they are concocted to allay.
What is the malady complained of ? Justice impeded—life un
protected—and the laws defied. What is the remedy pro.
posed ? Suspend all justice—overturn all law—and let the
sword be the sole arbiter of life and death.—(Loud cheers.)
The people are bonded, say the Ministers, in one great confe-
deracy. "There is one thing alone," says Mr. Locke,
" that binds great multitudes of men together, and
that one thing is oppression." What is fhe Whig
prescription? Increase oppression. What is the history of
Ireland but the gloomy catalogue of coercive acts, failing to
remove the malady to which they were applied, and begetting
new occasions for their sad infliction.—(Cheers.) They co-
erced before the Union ; they passed Acts inhuman and abomi.
nable, but mild compared with those concocting for us by the
present Government. They blasted the salutary parts of all
the great concessions of that period; these enactments blast
the paltry boon the Whigs are going to vouchsafe us. What
was the result ? The infant disaffection throve and grew to
manhood, under the fostering care of tyranny and injustice.
They coerced again, and the partial malady became an epidemic.
—(Cheers.) The rebellion was the crooked child of this de-
formed policy.—( Hear.) Has the Union changed the policy of
Government, or has that policy been followed with more favour-
able results ? Look to the facts ; first, the blessings of the In-
surrection Act ; then the consolation of martial law; then the
Insurrection Act; then the Habeas Corpus Act suspended, to
diversify oppression ; then the Arms Act enacted coercion
begat coercion, With a moratrous hasteofpregnancy in its birth,
at once born and bringing forth ; then the Algerine Act, ac-
complishing with rapidity the very measure it was Moulded to
retard (Cheers)—tben the proclamation law, investing a
wretched effigy of royalty with a power that the mouth of
many a despot waters to potsess. Is not this a history of the
failure of coercion ?—(Cheers)--but look to the achievements
of the last few months !—look to the Tithe Bill, the cherished
child of Stanley's Christian policy—that Act that was to set
upon its legs the prostrate majesty of the law, restore con-
tentment to the public mind, and root deep in the nation's love
the blessed union of Church and State—its enactments were
let loose—indictment followed indictment—prosecution fol-
lowed prosecution with a terrible volocity—the arm of justice
waxed faint and weary as it wielded without a moment's re-
spite this new and weighty engine of oppression—(Cheers)—
every thing was propitious to its dreadful operation—it was
hailed by the yell of the Conservative—it was welcomed by
the hosanna of the parson—the assent of the pliant Judge—
the verdict of the packed Jury were not wanted to enforce
it—(Loud cheers)—the gaols were glutted with its victims—
the land was soaked in its own gore—if, indeed, that blood
has sunk into the earth.—(Loud cheers.) Where are the
promised fruits ? Where is the restored omnipotence of
the law ?—Where is the restored tranquillity? Let his Ma.
jesty's speech answer that " a spirit of insubordination
and violence has risen to a fearful height, rendering life
and property insecure and defying the laws."—(Loud cheers.)
Let Mr. Macaulay answers, that Ireland, is in a state far
worse than civil war." Let Stanley bear evidence to the
utter failure of his rash and wicked policy. Let the demand
for these tremendous and unheard-of powers answer that,
and prove to every honest man the impotence, the blindness,
the madness of coercion.—(Cheers.) But the Ministers will
redress grievances, and while in the one hand they wield the
sword, in the other they extend the olive. The Ministers
are reforming the Church—let them destroy the Constitution.
The Ministers will give a Bishop only 10,0001. a-year—let us
make them a present of the Habeas Corpus Act. The Ministers

have abolished the vestry cess—let them abolish the;;;1-1:;
jury. The Ministers will reduce the number of the Bishops
from twenty.two to twelve—let them wage the horrors of mar.
tial law against the people. What! are we to be bribed into
a surrender of every sacred right, because two-pence an acre
is taken off the country ?—(Loud cheers.) I denounce the
slavish and unthrifty principle that would balance against
liberty, not pounds and shillings, but pence and halfpence.
I denounce that Church Reform.—(Cheers.) I say it is a
public lie to call that measure an adequate reform. Is that
an adequate reform, that pays to the priesthood of a hand-
ful one million pounds per annum ? Is that an adequate re-
form for which we ought to barter liberty, which leaves in the
poorest country upon the earth, the richest and most gorgeous
Church, and says it is to be perpetual ? Is that an adequate
reform that gives to the followers of Him who bath not where
to lay his head, eight or nine thousand pounds a year ? What
boots it to the country whether twelve or twenty mitred princes
riot upon the poor man's toil and sweat, if that toil and sweat
are still to be applied to feed the ravenings of a glutton Church ?
—(Cheers.) Where is the abolition of tithe ? Where is the
threefold distribution? Where is the cleansing of the House
of Lords of that mitred phalanx, ever arrayed in perpetual hos-
tility against the liberties and advancement of the people ?
(Loud cheers.) Let no one be bribed by the shadow of a
Church reform to surrender the blessings of liberty and consti-
tution.—(Cheers.) But the intentions of the Ministry—the
good intentions of the Ministry—are sufficient security that
these powers will not be abused, say the slaves who are willing
to bow their necks beneath the hoof of despotism. Fear not
the gentle nature of Lord Grey, and put your trust in the ber
loved Anglesea : read the honeyed speech of Mr. Stanley, and
then away with every doubting fear —listen to him as he obtests
his God to witness his devotedness to Ireland !—his bowels
yearn for her!

" With her were the dreams of his earliest love!"

It is his ardent love that gives her martial law! His glowing
passion that destroys her liberty and her honour.—(Cheers.)
He loves Ireland! Aye, as Strafford loved her—(A loud burst
of cheering)—when he joined to the craft of a Machiavel the
cruelty of a Tamerlane, and pursued that terrible career for
which his head justly rolled upon the scaffold. As Clare loved
her, when he lashed her by coercion and by insolence into vio.
lence and war, and then unleashed the horrors of martial law to
tame that madness his own policy had excited. As Castlereagh
loved her when the praise of Catholic liberty was on his tongue,
and the hatred of it in his heart; when he called God to witness
(for he too could blaspheme) his devotedness and fidelity to that
cause, and held out bribes in order to re►ard it.—(Cheers.)
Stanley's Tithe Bill, the first.born of his love, has stung the
nation into fury, and now he calls for despotism to repress those
crimes which are the spawn of his own rash and wanton policy
—(Continued cheers.) But, Sir, the disturbances which disfigure
parts of Ireland, for they are local, are not the real cause of these
iniquitous enactments--it is not to protect property or life—it
is not to uphold law—it is not to suppress crime, but to stifle
liberty, that these measures are brought forward.—(Cheers.)
Sir, it is to stop the mouth of Ireland, not to banish crime, that
these measures are brought forward. It is to hush that cry
which Charles Grey predicted would arise, and before which
Earl Grey will yet be forced to bite the dust. I speak in the
presence of many honest men, who are still unfriendly to re.
peal, and I ask them are these the means by which the Union
ought to stand ?—(Cheers ) I put this to them, has not the
mere threatening of these horrid measures wrought upon their
minds with more effect, in favour of repeal, than all the argu-
ments or eloquence hitherto advanced in favour of that cause ?
—(Hear, hear.) I oppose these measures, because they go to
shatter the connexion, by raising the question of tyranny or
separation—because they will inflict upon the nation's heart
and pride a wound that subse iuent concessions may never heal.
I tremble for connexion if once these measures shall become
the law. I tremble for the consequences of the awful lesson
they will teach the people, that the voice of England (for the
Parliament now speaks that voice) has pronounced her doom,
and sentenced her to a perpetual and iron bondage.—(Cheers.)
Where is the brawny arm that can wield these ponderous in-
struments of wrong, and establish in Ireland perpetual and
universal despotism ? (Hear.) Where is the newly disco.
vered mine of wealth that can give forth its millions to supply
the costly luxury of universal despotism ? For, thank God,
to be successful it must be universal ; its iron hoof must reach
from shore to shore, and throughout the length and breadth of
this devoted land, not one corner must be left free from its
ruthless pressure. Establish partial bondage, the unfettered
portions of the land will ring with cries of execration, and
send forth shouts for justice. Lift up the foot of oppression
for a while, trodden misery will spridg up and glare around for
vengeance.—(Loud and enthusiastic cheering.)
Mr. DUNN proposed the next resolution, which was supported
by Mr. Savage, in a very able speech.
JEREMIAH Dttror, Esq., was then called to the Chair, and
thanks having been returned to Mr. 11I‘Loghlin, the meeting
adjourned.
