Af.oprotestant Dissenters,—We, your brethren residing in the

fottlajeeh subjects we are convinced you require neither in-

General Election is at hand ; and the design of this

tend, and justly to appreciate.

.
it is not as political partisans that we address you : we

me other. We are well assured that you participate

I„,_ndeavour to conciliate political opponents, by procrasti-
Zg the reasonable wishes, or undervaluing the firm sup-

tikl_literests of truth, justice, and liberty, notwithstanding the
itttlties with which they have had to contend, we still retain
cheerful confidence.
Protestant
Dissenters, what, then, is our duty in the ap-
Ze‘ l'ing struggle ? but to present a bold and determined re-

Association of Ireland.' That the objects of the proposed I
club should be to use all Constitutional exertions to pre-
vent the formation of a Tory Administration, or, in case of
its formation, to oust such Administration, as speedily
as possible."—( Hear, bear.) That is the entire limit of
the proposed association, and that is the least expected
from it. The Committee thought with me, that it would
be most desirable that the association should be formed so
as to keep back no repealer and no anti-repealer.—(Hear,
hear.) We do not abandon repeal, as some of the news-
papers say ; but we postpone it, and we postpone it no
longer than the Duke of Wellington's Ministry continues
in office. Our objects are two-fold—First, to keep the
Duke of Wellington out of office ; and, if we are not able
to do that, then to kick him out as soon as we possibly
can afterwards.—(Cheers and laughter.) The Committee
then propose—" That every individual who shall subscribe
1/. shall, upon being proposed by one member and seconded
by another, become a member of this club."—(Hear,
hear.) It is, I consider, impossible for the present Par-
liament to do the business of the Duke of Wellington. It is
impossible that the Tories can act with the present Parlia-
ment. It will then be our business in the anti-Tory Associa-
tion to form liberal clubs—county, town, and parish clubs—
to have all the machinery for avoiding expenses---to do
away with uncertainty and ignorance with respect to the
popular strength in the different counties—to have our ar-
rangements so made as that the elections will be carried on
without expense to the anti-Tory candidates—while we
leave the enemies of Ireland to squander as much as they
please.—(Hear, hear.) With this view the committee pro-
pose—" That the Anti-Tory Association will use their best
exertions to prevent the return of every Tory Member at
the ensuing election ; and, without interfering with the
choice or preference in any locality between men who pro-
fess to be friends of Ireland, they will use their utmost
efforts to prevent any such divisions or dissensions amongst
the anti-Tories of Ireland as may assist the return of any
candidate of Tory opinions."—( Hear, hear.) These are
the entire of the resolutions adopted in the committee ;
and if there be any reasonable objection to them, which I
do not foresee, I shall most readily yield to it. My ardent
wish is to yield to every reasonable objection. (Mr.
O'Connell then concluded by proposing the different resolu-
tions seriatim, which were seconded and passed unanimously.)
Mr. HENRY GRATTAN, M.P., here came forward amid
loud cheers from all parts of the room. He said he wished
to address a few words to them upon this important crisis.
It was three years since he had mounted his horse, and rode
in from the country to oppose the Duke of Wellington.
The same thing had occurred that very day. He had come
from the country to give his utmost opposition to the Duke
of Wellington. He defied the Duke of Wellington to
carry on any species of government unless a military govern-
ment. Would they, could they, support the man who had
entered his protest against the liberties of Ireland?—(Hear
and cheers.) If he thought that they could be base and
degraded enough to do so, for his part he would not only
resign the representation of the first county in Ireland,
but he would leave it altogether—he would not look
upon it—he would not allow his family to be reared
in it—he would cast his eyes on it with contempt,
and regard its people with scorn.—(Continued cheers.)
Why, the King must have been deceived—grossly, blindly,
madly deceived—when he was led to believe that the peo-
ple of this country would consent to be ruled by the Duke
of Wellington.—(Hear.) The blood of their fathers still
ran in their veins—the spirit of their ancestors of 1782
still lived in them. The Volunteers of Ireland were not
dead.—(Hear, hear, and loud cheers.) A divine spirit
watched over them—it would animate, it would revive
them, and again the free minds of Irishmen would be dis-
played in all their strength and majesty.—(Cheers.) He
He felt great pleasure in stating that there would be a
meeting in Wicklow, and he could assure them that there
were men there who were not afraid to do their duty.—
(Cheers.) Longford would also do its duty as well as
Wicklow.—(The Hon. Gentleman sat down amid loud
cheers.)
Lord MILTOWN said that as to any apprehensions and
fears that might be entertained for any ministry that might
be formed, he for one did not hesitate to say that he had no
fears. Let the minister be who he might, when he con-
sidered the principles that were abroad, and the feelings
that animated the people, lie feared no minister ; for, who-
ever might be minister, unless he boldly marched in ad-
Lince of public opinion, he would be overborne and de-
stroyed by its force. To oppose that advance would be
futile and absurd in any minister to attempt, were he ten
times victor of a hundred fights. The people were not in-
tended to be the footstools of churchmen, ministers or
kings. The two latter dignities, at least, were created for
the use of the people.—(Cheers.) They existed but by
the sufferance of the people, and if the power they pos-
sessed degenerated into abuse in their hands, the great
original authority by whom that power was delegated,
might exercise the right to resume it. The Noble
Lord was very warmly cheered.
Mr. FRANCIS A. WaLsii (of Cork) said, that with re-
gard to the Duke of Wellington, if he yielded to the wishes
of the people, and acted upon those principles, however
slightly, which were the principles of the people, he would,
by so doing, inflict on political virtue and political faith one
of the deepest wounds that either had ever received. If
the Duke of Wellington swerved from those principles to
which he stood pledged, he would prove himself to be the
basest of public men. Badly as he deemed of the Duke of
Wellington, he would not suppose him capable of the base
tergiversation which such a supposition would imply. He
could suppose no greater calamity than the accession to
office of the Tory party. He thought that it was most sa-
lutary that the crisis had arrived. The country was falling
into a state of political apathy ; they were splitting into
paltry little parties and cabals, whilst great principles were
almost beginning to fall into neglect. He rejoiced at the
crisis that had now come. It was what the people had
long been expecting. Two rival principles were now strug-
gling for the mastery, and which should triumph could
the people doubt.—(Cheers.)
Mr. RONAYNE, M. P.—Who were those that rejoiced
most especially in the return of the Duke of Wellington to
power ? Were they not the bishops and the parsons and
the tithe-eaters—(Cheers.) He, therefore, regretted that
any observation should have fallen from the noble lord
which might be construed into an apology for the Duke
of 'Wellington.
Lord MILTOWN—No, no—no such thing was intended.
Mr. RONAYNE was very glad he had mistaken the noble
lord. The people of Ireland were perfectly unanimous,
and they were determined to give a long pull, a strong pull,
and a pull altogether, to defeat the Duke of Wellington
and the Tories—(Cheers.)
Mr. O'DWYER, M. P., said, could any one doubt that
the first act of a Tory Administration would be an attempt
to repeal the reform act. Would the people consent to the
surrender of that, by means of which no King or Lords, nor
any combination would have the power to check the pro-
gress of improvement ? It required three estates to pass
that act, and the people would never submit to the surren-
der of that great measure. The hon. and learned gentle-
man proceeded to animadvert on the various mischiefs that
would accrue to the country from a Tory Administration.
His hon. friend, Mr. O'Connell, had expressed some doubt
as to Louth. He had received letters from Louth that
day, and he was happy to inform the meeting that there
was not a chance of success for Mr. Foster.
Mr. O'CONNELL—I did not express any doubt of the
success of the independence of Louth, but you supposed I
did, to have an opportunity of letting in your good news.—
(Cheers.)
Mr. O'DwYEa. pleaded guilty of the fraudulent expedient
which his lion. friend had imputed to him.—(Laughter.)
The interruption, however, had totally deranged his speech,
—(Laughter.)
Mr. O'CoNNELL rose and proposed the following gentle-
men members of the new association :
Daniell O'Connell, M.P., Charles Walker, M.P., A. C.

ANTI-TORY ASSOCIATION.
Yesterday the adjourned meeting of the association took
place at the Corn-Exchange rooms. Notwithstanding the
charge for admission the great room was so much crowded
that many persons were obliged to stand upon the lobbies.
The gallery was occupied by ladies. Amongst the gentle-
men present we observed Lord Miltown, George Evans,
Esq., M.P., Charles Arthur Walker, Esq., AMP., Henry
Grattan, Esq., M.P., Dominick Ronayne, Esq., M.P.,
Christopher Fitzsimon, Esq., M.P., A. Carew O'Dwyer,

M'Namara, Daniel M‘Nevin, Thomas Walker, William
Grace Kelly, Pollock, Edward Power, W. P. Kenny,
Lysaght Pennefather, John Shea Lalor, and James
O'Dowd, Esqrs.
GEO. EVANS, M.P., for the county of Dublin was called
to the Chair.
Mr. E. DWYER acted as Secretary.
Mr. EVANS, upon taking the chair, thus addressed the
assembly :—Gentlemen, you are all aware of the crisis and
the times at which we have arrived. I feel great satisfac-
tion in being placed in this chair at a meeting of my fellow
countrymen, convened for the purpose of reaping the fruits
which reform has sown, and which the Tories are about to
blast.—(Hear and cheers.) Gentlemen, this is a vital ques-
tion to Ireland and to England at large.—( Hear, hear.)
But it is one that is not merely confined to these countries
—it is one which affects other European countries.—
(Hear, hear.) If the Tories will continue in office, Spain,
Portugal, France, and Poland, must hear of it with the
greatest alarm, for our Administration will then be con-
nected in principle with .the " Holy Alliance."—(Hear,
and cheers.)
Mr. O'CONNELL rose and was received with the most
enthusiastic cheers, which were continued for several
minutes. As soon as the applause had subsided, he said—
Sir, our business here is to postpone every cause of dissen-
sion amongst ourselves until we strike down the common
enemy of all.—(Hear, hear.) I cannot conceive that any
policy would be more base and wicked than to go back now
to dissensions which existed under a different order of things.
I am not the lauder of the Whigs—(Lord Miltown here
entered, and was received with loud cheers)—l am not the
eulogist of the Whigs—no man personally ought to be more
hostile to them than I ought to be, as far as an individual
could be influenced by his own feelings.—(Hear.) They
hated me most cordially—they did their best to put me
down, and—l forgive them heartily. Our triumph here is
to be over our political differences ; we forget their errors
and their faults ; for we have now another duty to perform
—it is to contend against these enemies, and, I will say, the
enemies of the human race.—( Hear, and cheers.) I repeat
the enemies of the human race—for Toryism, English Tory-
ism, has opposed the progress of liberty all over the globe.
—(Cheers.) It was Toryism which drove the French
people mad, and hurried them into excesses.—( Hear, hear.)
This was the work of the British Tories—of Pitt, who was
the personification of Tories ; it was they who disturbed
the course of that revolution by the most frightful and ex-
tensive bribery. I myself heard the fact. A certain paper
passed between three of the Directors, which was never
seen by a fourth person in France. Where is that paper
now ? In the archives of the British Museum. It was
bought from one of the three Directors of France. That
is the genius of Toryism.—(Hear, hear.) There is not a
foul Miguelite in Portugal who will not exult when he hears
that the Duke of Wellington is in office ; there is not a base
Carlist in Spain who will not exult when he hears the Duke
of Wellington is at the head of affairs ; there is not a Car-
list nor an absolutist in France will who not rejoice when
he learns that the Duke of Wellington is prime Minister.
The " holy allies" of the Duke of Wellington rejoice—the
absolutists exult—the traitorous Orangeists in Belgium—the
Dutch spoilers of the fertile fields of Belgium—a land whose
fertility almost equals that of green and neglected Ireland—
there as well as here the Orangeists rejoiced when they beard
the Duke of Wellington again was in power.—(Cheers.)
And the Russian, the sanguinary monster who deluged Poland
with blood—the torturer of men, of women, and of children,
exults because he hopes for another massacre : that the time
may again come when the mother—for, sacred God! it has
already occurred—such was the cruelty of one of the Duke of
Wellington's allies, that mothers put to death their own chil-
dren, rather than let them fall into the hands of the Russians.
(Hear,hear.) Yes, every vile and horrid Russian will exult,
while the mothers of Poland will scream in agony to their
God, when they hear that Wellington and Russia are
triumphant--( Hear, and loud cheers.) There is not afriend
to despotism—there is not an oppressor—there is not a tyrant
on the face of the earth, from him stationed at Cairo and
Constantinople to him, the still greater miscreant, who
triumphs over the ruined walls of Warsaw, and reigns in the
wild deserts of Siberia—every monster, every polluted mi-
nion, every sanguinary satellite who serves a despot, every
treacherous and servile wretch who is ready to sell his con-
science and his country rejoices—all rejoice that the 'Duke
of Wellington is in office.—( Hear, and continued cheering.)
So, on the other hand, we find that every friend to genuine
liberality and the amelioration of the human race—every
friend to morality and to improvement, who desires.to put an
end to ancient abuses, to destroy oppression, to amend and
correct all cruel, expensive, and doubtful laws—who wishes
to improve the condition of mankind without any distinc-
tion of orecd or colour, all over the globe—all these have
heard with harm- and regret that the Duke of Wellington
is in power again.—(Hear, and cheers.) But we shall not
weep for this. Why should we ? Let tyrants lament, for
they are insecure—let despots tremble, for they are not safe—
let Wellington hesitate, as he is hesitating, because there is no
certainty of his continuing in power.—( Hear.) We com-
bine here for the freedom of Ireland—we will stand toge-
ther—the free people of England will stand toge-
ther. One shout will come from emancipated Scot-
land, and the reformers of England and Ireland will be too
strong for Wellington of Waterloo and all his foreign allies,
whoever they may be.—(Hear, and cheers.) The curse
of our country has been dissension. We will always think
the better of each for having acted upon this occasion to-
gether. Should further differences arise, we will at last carry
them on with better temper, better humour, and more com-
placency than we did previously.—( Hear, and laughter.)
See the situation of England—your good sense, Sir, pointed
out the ludicrous situation of England at this moment.
See the ajvisers of the Duke of Wellington ! He has got
together Lord Londonderry, and Ellen-borough ; and an
old gentlewoman who ;'alls herself Mary-borough ; he has
put them into the Treasury. Such a batch, I believe,
never met together at this side of a hot place.—( Hear,
and laughter.) There they are, but they arc doing no-
thing. They are waiting for that great monarch of cotton
—that dictator of spinning-jennies, Sir Robert Peel !
(Laughter.) " Cotton for ever !" I say.—(Laughter.) The
cotton lord now rules supreme—the aristocracy of England
must bow down before him ! The iron gauntlet, the lofty
crest, the proud plumage, the gallant chivalry of England
are all lowered before the high, the grand, the exalted lord
of cotton, and the supreme master of spinning jennies !
(Cheers.) He it is who is the sense-carrier of the entire
party.—( Hear, hear.) The Duke of Wellington, with all
his state and military rank, must wait upon him—the Duke,
who, as Cardinal Wolsey used to do, may now write " Ego
et re.r »zeus," " I and my King" command you, Sir Robert
Peel, to return to England. Wellington, who is the cardi-
nal point in the new Ministry, may thus write, putting him-
self first, as he ought to do—" I and my King command
you home, and to bring with you all your wisdom, as you
have a mighty mind to govern this empire." It is Sir
Robert Peel the English may thank for the grievous weight
of their debt. Let them cotton to each other as much as
they please, but they are not for the people.—(Cheers and
laughter.) The next trait about this Sir Robert Peel is
this—he was the most inveterate no-Popery man that ever
lived—his conscience stood in the way of the freedom of the
Catholics. Political measures may be altered, but con-
science, anything affecting conscience, never could ! If any
measure interfered with conscience or religion, rightly un-
derstood, it certainly never ought to pass. But here was
Sir Robert Peel, with his conscience turning to the right
about—he, the child and champion of the no-Popery men,
second to me for Catholic emancipation.—(Loud cheers
and laughter.) I am not here, as I said before, as
the advocate of the Whigs—neither am I here to be
their accuser ; but, I am here for the purpose of
preventing the Duke of Wellington being Minister.
I am here with that object, believing that his eleva-
tion threatens the foundation of every state in Europe.
We have seen in England the vilest and the basest truck-
ling to the Tories. The Times has been most adverse to
me—its hostility to me has been base, and, if I had wished
for revenge, it has revenged me on itself in a way that
shows it to have sunk aeeper in the profundity of literary
turpitude than it was thought possible to reach even in
the mine of rascality. The Times has become the sup-
of the Duke of Wellington, Some say it ought to
be burned ; but, in my opinion, burning is too good for
it !—(Laughter.) My friend Stuart, of the Courier, is, I
find, to-day running between both—he is like a rat be-
tween chairs.—(Laughter.) I tell, however, the basest of
newspapers, the Tinzes, 4,114 the Duke of Wellington will
not make concessions in the Spirit 4f Op Reform Bill.
