THE FLEMINGS.—" It is a remarkable fact, that
a Flemish parent will never indulge in, nor enjoy luxuries
—never abate his labours—until he has accumulated suffi-
cient to give each of his children as much as he himself re-
ceived from his father. This hereditary principle pervading
society, high and low, Icivcs an overwhelming influence to
opinion, and in it consists the grand secret which, among
the Flemings, cherishes and maintains industry, thrift, and
the domestic affection." -Mg Note Book.

TO THE REFORMERS OF IRELAND

Darrytiane Abbey, 4th December, 1835.
Hereditary bondsmen, know you not,
Who would be FREE themselves must strike the blow?

My Lords and Gentlemen—l admit, I candidly admit
that there has been a want of unanimity, nay much dis•

cord between us. The Repealers, of whom I am one al
the leaders—the Radicals, of whom I.arn decidedly one—
have been severed from the more moderate Reformers of
Whig principles by a wall, of separation erected chiefly by
the party to which I belonged. But why were we thus
separated? Simply because we were for the Repeal and
you were not ; and we were more violent and you were
more moderate than perhaps either ought to be. But these
causes are removed ; the Repealers are now fixed upon
giving the experiment of the possibility of obtaining good
government,- without a domestic legislature, a full and fair
trial. Ido appeal to you all, whether I, net only as an in-
dividual, but as representing a party, am not straining every
nerve to give that experiment all possible efficacy. We
Irish Radicals, too, are now content to place the present
Ministry at the head of the movement ; to go on with them
cautiously and deliberately ; not to be so unreasonable as
to expect them to overthrow at once obstacles which require
time and repeated exertions to remove—and we arc ready
to accept with cheerful gratitude every instalment of the
national debt of amelioration in our public institutions
which the Ministry can wring from their enemies and ours.
With these dispositions, what is there to prevent a cor-
dial co-operation between Reformers of every class and
shade of opinion in Ireland ? We Repealers do not ask
you to join in looking for the Repeal—on the contrary, we
are not now. looking for it ourselves. We Radicals do not.
press you to go beyond your own deliberate opinions on the.,
road to salutary reforms in the state. Nay more, so far
from obtruding on your opinions, we only desire to give you
strength. to work them (at into practical effect. We
cheerfully place you at the bead of the Reformers, and give
you the guidance and the control of all the measures ne-
cessary to make our cooperation effectual.
_ _ _

_ .
Thus, therefore, it must at least be admltted, that we
avaßepeakiia.rare now in the rig.lii—that we take
away every*ause—yes, and every pretence—for dissension
and divisionp amongst ---Reformers—and that .we—leave • the
neglect or the apathy of other classes of Reformers without
excuse or palliation.
There never was a period in which the duty was so in-
cumbent—so imperatively incumbent on the Reformers of
Ireland to be active and energetic as the present :—mark
its features. _ _

..,......._____
In the first place, the hopes of Ireland are bound up
ivitii the stability of the present governmpnt. It is the
first that ever acted on the principle of equal justice to,
and perfect impartiality between all classes and 'per-
suasions of Irishmen. For the first time' for near seven
centuries we have a ministry giving practical proofs of
the sincerity of its professions of abolishing all political
distinctions in Ireland, and of grounding its preferences
and selections on the individual merits of the persons
preferred and selected—and not on the creed, class, or
party to which such persons belong. Besides, the go-
vernment of Ireland is. delegated to persons who have so
much of excellent _ judgment and exquisite good sense,
that their conduct enhances the value of every act of
conciliation, and produces a conviction, that when they
fail in any:useful measure, such failure is
.to be attri-
buted to She want of sufficient means, or of sufficient
power, arc- not to the want of inclination or exertion.
Lord Mulgrave has acted with a temper, a tact, and a
wisdom of policy, which stamps him as possessing that
superiority of mind most suited to pacify Ireland, and make
14-er. substantially and really' a portion of the British Ern-
• irel, by means of the enjoyment of equal benefits and pri-
Vileges with Great Britain. Lord Morpeth has given the
-grea4st satisfaction by his conduct and intelligence. In
short, the great experiment of the effect- oftro-play and of
justice in Ireland is in favourable progre4*.4.,tlionsancls
upon thousands of obstacles and dilliculikii;.-1.
I ask the Reformers of Ireland whetb4-Wsentire ad-
ministration of tiffairs in this country,-',4;;,atOresent con-
ducted, is not initselfa great and .inoSV=itsaluable reform,
requiring nothing but permanency_to•r-ender it perfectly sa-
lutary, and nearly sufficient for every pUrpose of good go-
vernment ? If, indeed, it were coupled with an extension
of the franchise, it would give us nearly all the reform ne-
cessary to develop° the incllculable resources of this fine but
abused land. _

But let it be recollected, in the second place, that at pre-
sent all these advantages are precarious, depending altoge-
ther on the. existence of the present Ministry. They have
been created by- this Ministry—they depend for duration
on this Ministry—and with this Ministry they .would assu-
redly terminate.
This is no exaggeration of danger, nor is it any rain fear.
We all witnessed the horrid experiment of last year—we saw
this country consigned to the weakness and Tory malignity of
Lord Haddington—to the active and inverate partisanship
uf,4si4.llenry Haraiuge, one of the most unscrupulous of par-
tisans frirtiTtrlittliai`‘r--r-The
cere bigot Lefroy, and old Gregory in the Castle; in their dig-
nity of Privy Councillor s, threatened the country with all the
horrors of sectarian dominion. Nor was the threat an idle one
—their very appointment to the Privy Council was a wilful
and studied insult to the people of Ireland. The No-Popery
flag waved in-the' presence of, and, indeed, over the head of
Lord Haddington, betokening in no ddubtful words the
destruction of six millions and a half of the King's subjects
in Ireland ; for until they annihilate that number of Irish-
men, the flag of !‘ No-Popery" will not announce a truth.
it was, therefore, a filg of extermination, raised in the pre-
sence of Lord Paddington and his Secretary, the brave but
ill-conditioned Sir Henry Hardinge.
Nor was the war proclaimed in vain. The judicial
offices were about to be filled. Shaw was to have been
made a judge—Jackson had his foot on the steps of the
bench. You saw the activity and the glee with which the
ancient ferocity of . Orangeism exhibited itself. Blood—
torrents of blood would have-followed, and if the late Ad-
ministration had continued in office, Ireland would have
been a desert, or a precarious and sanguinary republic.
I do ask you, my Lords and Gentlemen, whether you
can contemplate any thing more horrible to Ireland than
the restoration to power of Peel or Wellington. The
exasperation of the Orangemen is at its height. ; they are
irritated to madness, simply because an undue preference is
no longer given to that faction, and perhaps their insanity
is the more outrageous because they cannot allege any one
reasonable complaint. But the worst feature in the present
state of the Orange faction is, that many Protestants who
were heretofore considered as rather liberal, and who cer-
tainly were not Orangemen, have committed themselves so
thoroughly with that party, that acrimony and virulence
have been extended and increased to a degree which only
requires the stimulant of a Tory Government to produce
the most terrific mischief.

I do not exaggerate in the least—we are on the verge of
a volcano—nothing can preserve the country from a 'dread-
ful explosion, but the continuance in office of his Majesty's
present adviqers, and their being encouraged and
strengthened in their exertions to preserve peace and tran-
quillity. If Peel or Wellington regain power, that third
conquest of Ireland with which Wellington once threatened
us, will be, I doubt not, attempted. I do not hesitate to
say, that the safety of the Throne itself is involved in, and
identified with, the stability of the present Administration—
and that not only as regards the people of Ireland, but as
results from the disposition and determination of the Re-
formers of. England and Scotland.
It is, therefore, manifestly a duty we owe in point of alle-
giance to our Sovereign, in point of affection to our coun-
try, in point of prudence for our own security, to exert all
our faculties, so as to strengthen the
.hands of the present
Ministry against all their enemies and ours.
On the other .hand, the Orange faction are inerssant in
their activity—they are combined—they arc united as one
man—they are ever vigilant—they are neglecting no ad-
vantages—they are stopped by no obstacles—they are ut-
terly regardless of the means they employ. They cajole—
they oppress—they corrupt. They employ bribery and in-
timidation—force and fraud. They pervert the law. They
procure aid from perjury. They render the Bench itself
ancillary to their purposes. In short, there never was a
more wicked or a more active party. They have with
them the magistracy—most of our sheriffs, and of the list
of candidates for that office presented by the judges ! ! !
They have with them in feeling perhaps some of the judges
themselves. They have with them " the Lodger Assistant-
Barristers." The county officers, clerks of the peace.and
of the crown, secretaries of grand juries—many police offi-
cers, and multitudes of the privates of police are with them.
In short, the Orange conspiracy has its ramifications far
and wide, extending . every where, and powerful exactly
in the proportion in which it is yielded to, or not directly

resisted.
Still that faction which, whilst yielded to, is powerful and
predominant, is weak and insignificant if properly resisted.
That this truth is certain is demonstrated by the success of
the late election. But the agitators were then abroad—
the agitators in whom the people were accustomed to con-
fide. We were able against all the force and weight of the
Government to beat down our Orange adversaries. The
people, the honest, energetic, I would say, heroic people,
assisted us, and the result was the overthrow of the late
base Administration.
But. we agitators have withdrawn from active exertions.
We have no longer any centre of unity. We have no
combination—no association--no machinery whatever to
oppose improper "claims to reuister—no arrangement to
brir'r forward the claims of Reformers. In short, we have
made way for the WhiT, Reformers. .The ground is un-
occupied,-and the cause of Reform is abandoned.
But this is not 'all :-=the Tories in England are express-
ing their most virulent hostility to the Irish people who are
at present thus deserted by their natural leaders, Whigs
and Radicals. Nay, I way be accused of exaggeration

when I state my conviction, that a change of Administra-
tion would plunge Ireland in blood. But such an accusa-
tion against me is unfounded—my-assertion is literally true.
The return to power of Peel or
„Wellington would be the
signal for every •act of cruelfv which could stimulate a
population driven to despair of any legal remedy—to resort
to the " wild justicY' of sanguinary .reteng-e, and each crime
committed at either side would provoke and appear to jus-
tify a cruel retaliation.
That the Tory faction in England is ready to co-op.-rate
in the perpetration of every crucity and crime which the
Orangeists would desire to commit against the Catholic:
clergy and laity of Ireland is now as plain as demonstration
can make it. Look at their great literary organs—the in-
dicators of the intentions of the party. You will find in
them a scurrility, a virulence, and a 4 truculent atrocity of
language, addressed to the C.ltho'.ics of Iridand, which
have not been used in England since the days of Crom-
well—since those days when a bigotted soldiery.slanghtered
the parent and the youth—the mother and the babe—and
strewed the green fields of Irclimd with the frequent corpses
of her children, and made the entire nation one blood-red
Ratheormac.

From that day to the present such language has not been
used as is now-familiar with the creedless, conscienceless
wretches who conduct the leading organs of the Tories—
the Times and the Standard. The abuse which those au-
thorized miscreants pour -upon the Catholic people .of Ire-
land is so virulent as to exceed description, and .to be
calculated as the prelude to massacre. Let me extract
the epithets bestowed on my unfortunate countrymen. I
take them from a few, very few publications. The peo-
ple of Ireland arc called "an idle, poor, untaught, unprin-
cipled, fierce, savage, barbarian RABBLE."
Recollect that the miscreants who use this language are
the great oracles, the leading supporters of the Peel-Wel-
lington party. In fact, they arc the " month-pieces" Of the
Tories. I ask any candid person whether this abuse be not,
in truth and in fact, a cry for extermirrtion ?
What a patient, what a forbearing p i,le we are ! Is
there on the faceA.the oartu, any itler people who would
endureMS 'vilification-? Yet we are so patient and for-
bearing, that the prime traducer—Barnes, of the Times—
goes on from day to day expressing the contumely and ran-
cour of his party fot the Catholic people of Ireland, in the
most ferocious. language, without the least apprehension of
punishment.
But the atrocity of the Peel-Wellington party towards
the Catholic Clergy of Ireland, exceeds all bounds. Never
were the lowest and vilest of mankind so assailed with foul
and filthy language, as are the laborious, intelligent, learned,
faithful, exemplary, and pious Catholic Clergy of Ireland-•--
assailed by the most strenuous supporters of the Tory op,
position. Let me present you with a few specimens of the
manner in which the Tories treat tbe Catholic Clergy of
Ireland. These are the specimens of Tory virulence se-
lected from -the papers I have mentioned, but particularly
from the Tines. Our Clergy are called, "*a disgrace to
the name of Christian Ministers"—" absolute, selfish, coarse
and halt: ld tyrants"—" vulgar-minded, shallow, and un-
principled quacks "—" spiritual tyrants"—" brutal auto-
crats"—" surplieed ruffians "—" wretched impostors"—
" Popish rz.:fflans"—" pious terrorists"—" atrocious hypo-
crites"—" a brutal Priesthood."

When misery presses hard upon the Irish peasant, he
has one friend, one only friend—the priest. When dis-
tress wrings his soul, he has one comforter, one only com-
forter—the priest. When crime covers him with disgrace
and consigns him to punishment, when his heart sinks within
hirn at the apprehension of man's vengeance and with- the
terror of God's wrath, lie has one consoler, one only con-
soler—the priest. When famine stalks abroad, and that his
children wail in starvation, there is one incessant in col-
lecting the means of relief, one—only one—incessant col-
lector—the priest. When pestilenceinvades the land and
brings desertion of fi iends, and agony, and death, there is
—there is still one who does not forsake him living, nor
desert him dying—who stretches upon his straw, impreg-
nated with infection, and pours the last words of Christian
comfort upon that dying breath, from which in return he
inhales disease, and perishes the martyr of duty, of cha-
rity, and of God—THE PRIEST, Tsen PRIEST.
Yet it is on that priest, lives in a constant martyr-
dom, that the authorised and pampered fiends of the Tory
press exhaust all the resources of the most malignant minds,
and of the most practised and vulgar scurrility of language.
There is no class of that priesthood too exalted—there
is no virtue too dignified—there is no piety too sacred to
escape this Tory persecution. Behold the appellations
which these Tory minions bestow upon our Archbishops.
Dr. Mac Hale, a model of the highest order of classic lite-
rature, who dignifies his high station by his patriotism, his
piety, and his charity, still more than by his learning, is de-
nominated by one of these wretches, " a wolfish fiend !!!"
Dr. Murray, the mildest and meekest of living gentlemen
—he Who never meddled in politics, but to mitigate aspe-
rities and temper our violences, and to point out the mode
of merging political strifo in Christian charity—he, even he
is wiled—what ?—" a disgusting denzlgaga.
.---431244.1 re thee!e,all-idle words No 1.--rateAlsomOrndisimear.--
No. They are the whetting of the .knife—the sharpening
of the dagger—the cocking of the pistol—the full and fell
preparation for slaughter—the readiness for the burst of
Orange persecution over universal Ireland. Let the Tories
regain power, and those infernal passions, which at present
find vent only in the audacious atrocity of vituperation, will,
in the musket and bayonet; the pistol or the stiletto, exhibit
still more congenial weapons.
There is an ineident.ef the last week which illustrates
the state of suppressed excitement which festers in the'
minds of the Orangeists of Ireland. It is, in one view of
its nature, trivial ; but, soundly considered, it is of great
vital importance. I allude to the rejection of the Most
Rev. Dr. Murray by the Dublin Society. Straws show
how the tempest is preparing, to set in—and this is one of
the evidences of the coming storm. For, surely, never did

there live a man so suited for a literary society ; a man
more free frora party spirit—from Tancour, or any taint of
passicn—never breathed. There is, there can be, but one
reason why he was rejected—it was because be is a Catholic
archbishop. It was to insult, not him, but-the Catholic
body. It was to express hate and contempt for their coun-
try Men of the Catholic persuasion. I could not have be-
lieved that so meanly malignant a being could bear the
human form as he who, in the security of privacy, offered
such an indignity to so venerable—in every sense of the
word—so truly venerable a person. Yet, there were, in one
and the same room, no less than sixty-five of them. What
a state do we live in ! And surely every liberal man who
belongs to that Society will disclaim all connection with it,
by resigning. I declare solemnly, that a worse spirit ap-
pears in this insult than in any public declaration of hos-
tility which Orangeisin could possibly display. Meanness
of the basalt kind—malignity of the most atrocious nature—
stimulated thes-s persons to that insult. Al! such persons
want is the power to carry into efil•ot their hideous propen-
sities, and to deluge the country with blood.
dwell on the subjects, my Lords and Gentlemen, that
we all may understand the exact situation of this unhappy
country, and comprehend precisely what is necessary to be
dons to promote improvement and peace on the one
hand, and to avoid higottcd oppression and civil strife on
the other. _ _

The fate of Ireland, Reformers is iii`your bands. The
Irish people arc ready to act with you—to obey you—to
submit to your guidance—to co-operate with you in support
of the King's government—and to do every thing neces-
sary to continue the exclusion of the Orange Tory faction
from all opportunity of convulsing the realm.
It is desirable that the Protestant nobility and gentry
who support the present ministry should, commence and
lead this movement. They should begin to form that
which, since the commencement of a Whig Government
under Lord Grey, has been hitherto wanting—namely a
government party—a party acting in unison with the Irish
Government. The Tories have such a party in Ireland,
and as long as a Tory MiniAry hand over the country to be
a spoil and a prey to the Orange faction, so long will that
faction countenance and support a Tory Administration.
But the Whigs have had hitherto no party in Ireland.
Since the late accession of Lord Melbourne to office, the
Irish nation has gone along with his Ministry ; but the
upper and wealthier classes never either opposed him or
stood aloof. It is time to terminate this species of inter-
regnum. It is time that the Whigs of rank and fortune
should take that prominent station in aid of the govern-
, ment which would prepare, in the best mode, the popular
triumph in the next elections. The North could be -re-
deemed from much of its thraldom. In Ulster the Whigs
have much to gain—in Leinster, Munster, and Connaught,
much to preserve. Let there be no loner any apathy or
any further delay. Every man is 'interested 'in. rescuing
Ireland from the horrors of an Orange restoration.
The registry too long neglected—the protection of the
voters too long omitted—the organization' of the counties,
towns, and boroughs too long postponed.; —in the face of
an active enemy, all these delays, onossions, and neglects
take place, whilst the Whig Reformers arc inactive. But.
this cannot be. Once mme I scum' the alarm—once again
I respectfully implore all classes of Reformers to combine.
Let there be but a beginning, and the necessity for exertiOn
. will appear to every person engaged. to manifest, that the
Associationwill of itself increase, and multiply, and ensure

success.
We lase the repreaentaion of many places unless active,
energetic measures be taken. The ctiethy is awake. Why
should the friends of Ireland be torpid ?—Wilig Reformers,
I call upon you for the second time—Begin !
I have the honour to be,
Your very obedient, faithful servant, -
DANIEL O'CONNELL.
