Ice reminded me that there were at one time 200 glove
ters in Dublin, and that now there are only five. Is
gitation that slid that ? Is it agitation that is crushing
ry trade subject to excise regulations ? If the distillery
le, which employs such immense capital, is kept alive I
, was not its extinction prevented by agitation.--(Hear
I cheers.) If trade is declining and commerce diminish-
in Ireland, can the fault, I ask be attributed to agita-
i ? Look, Sir, to the annihilation of the glass trade.
t I should detain you the entire day, if I went through
ry branch of business that is suffering in Ireland ; but
not agitation that gives us the hope of being able to
ress it.—(Cheers.) Was it agitation that caused stares-
, in Connaught last year, in the very midst of plenty,
I in a part of Ireland where there has been less of agita-
r than in any other, as if for the purpose of giving the
to the assertion. Was it agitation that caused this
:utnstance, which I state upon the authority of the first
:master in Ireland, Mr. Wm. Murphy, that before the
ion as many head of cattle were sold in Smithfield as
re is at present—(Hear)—but that not one out of
.00 are slaughtered here that there were before that
iod. What has been the consequence of this? Not a
et of these could be slaughtered that the offal of it
uld not afford good coarse and cheap food for sixty in-
iduals.—(Hear. ) Thus are they taking that elsewhere
ich was the food of the poor Irish people.—(Hear.)
Iv it agitation did this ? No, it was the agitation of
stle corruption—it was Castlereagh suicide agitation.
(Hear, and loud cheers.) I see our fields teeming with
rvests—l behold our plains covered with fat cattle, and
our markets the living pork is abundant. But what
Names of these? The harvest is cropped, the cattle are
d, and the pork is exported for the benefit of the Eng-
le and the profit of the absentee landlords.—(Hear and
eers.) I see all this, and I ask, ought not Ireland to be
eerable, for has she not lost the protection of a domestic
gislature ?--(Continued cheering.) But it is said that
itation is increasing, and I am even accused of being the
tinspring of it. I certainly am an agitator, and all I
sorry for is, that I cannot agitate more. I make no
blogy for being an agitator, but I do so for not agitating
ough.--(Hear and laughter.) I never knew in the
story of any nation, of any one blessing of freedom, or
vantage bestowed upon the people, that was net wrung
ma their rulers by agitation ; and how am I then
agitator?—for the advantage of Ireland.—(Hear.)
:old you what agitation has not done for Ireland. I
all now tell you of what use it may be to the country.
our agitation the people will be informed that nothing
abe done for their country, except by their moral and
whined force—that moral force which has already pur-
ased freedom for the Dissenters in England, and the Ca-
olics in Ireland.—(Hear.) I tell the people of Ireland
look to their own combination.—(Hear, hear.) The
estion now is—who is an Irishman ?—(Hear.) The
nnent we are combined as Irishmen—Oh !we will
ly have to look at our enemies and then—we will be
e.—(Hear and cheers.) Our agitation is not imitated
other parts of the country. In Armagh, Lord Mande-
le had a !nesting. I care not now for his party, whether
ey were Orange colours or not.—(Hear.) Two years
ice there might have been some harts in it; but now its
were of mischief are gone for ever, and even I think it a
ry endurable colour.—(Hear and laughter.) I declare
at there was a time when I could not endure the music
" The Boyne Water," and now I consider it a fine old
sh melody, and I listen to it with pleasure. —(Cheers
d laughter.) All I want is that the enemies of Ireland
ould meet and express their sentiments publicly.—
Fear.) Let them only tell what they want and I shall
satisfied.—(Hear.) Those who composed the meeting
Armagh declared themselves to be enemies of Reform.
sat is a fact which I am glad will go before the people
England. Let the people of England look upon this
rty and upon that. They find in us friends to a Be-
an in Parliament—they find that we support the Re-
•m Bill for England, even though the Government has
fused giving to us a full and efficient measure of Reform.
Luling my most lofty scorn upon those who talk against
e as an agitator, I ask what has given me the power as
agitator? It is not the exertions of the individual
[well, but the oppressions of the people. The strength
the agitator consists in the neglect of the Government
remedy evils. What makes the people listen to the
itator? Because they endure hopeless misery and woe.
is only a people who are suffering who listen to the
itator, as agitation is the only way to remedy their role-
rtunes. Who are they who make Ireland the field of
itation? Lord Grey, Arzns-Bill Stanley, and Lord
aglesea.—(Hear, hear.) I will tell them how they will
sarm agitation. It is by taking up the tithe question in
sectarian spirit--not excluding a Catholic from the
!matittee—but turning the tithes into a moderate quit-
(al giving to the Protestant clergyman of the present
neration a sufficient support, and that, in the next every
an will pay his own clergyman, as he does his own
,ctor and his own lawyer. —(Hear.) Let Lord Grey
peal the Subletting Act.—(Hear, hear.) Let some
medy be procured for the evil of absenteeism, and with-
rt the arrangement of which there cannot be permanent
snquillity in Ireland.—(Hear and cheers.) But why
ould Lord Grey increase agitation in Ireland by offering
I insulting Reform Bill to us?—(Hear.) The ache-
des A, B, and C, in the English Reform Bill, have
.en improved. Scotland has eight additional Membeis,
id I ask has he the audacity to insult Ireland by
feting her only five additional Members ?—(llear,
tar.) It is this neglect of Iceland—it is this insulting
stem—it is this throwing overboas d every Irish interest,
at has given birth to an increased agitation.—(Hear
id cheers.) It is said that we ought to make an expel i-
ent with the Reform Bill ; so we will if we get a good and
just one.—(Hear.) I am not surprised to find that the
rangemen who met in Armagh were irritated and vexed.
heir bad passions were almost justified. For three cen-
ries these men have been encouraged and fostered; ad-
inistratiou after administration was formed to patronize
e Orange party in Ireland. Mr. Peel, who was the
sild and champion of Protestant ascendancy, kept in arms
Ott thousand Orangemen in a time of peace. They had
e dominion of the country to themselves. Wellington
id Peel were their chosen champions—Mr. Peel rose
ma a spinning jenny to be the first of the statesmen of
ngland by his advocacy of Protestant ascendancy—if any
inciple were engrafted in his being, it was that of Pro-
'tent ascendancy, and yet he wheeled round in an hour,
id he left the Orangemen, like boats on a strand and the
de out.—(Laughter.) There they were " stuck in the
nd."---(Laughter.) There, too, were Peel and Welling-
n, their chosen champions, laughing at them, and even
erry Dawson sending his little skiff to the opposite side.,
.asughter. ) Even Sir George Hill abandoned them for a
ace in the West Indies. When such things have occurred
them, I can forgive theta their anger ; but the moment
At these men discover that their bigotry will not be profit-
de to themselves, they will not only abandon their present
surge of proceeding, but they will become as good patriots
any other class of Irishinen.—(Hear.) I trust to see
rem and the Presbyterians, recollecting that their fa-
cers fought to the death against tyranny, join with other
eases of their countrymen for the sake of Ireland.—
fear and cheers.) But we, Sir, must make a useful
imbination amongst ourselves, and I hope to see the Irish
fembers obey the call made upon them by the Trades and
e Political Union. I may be told that the experiment
ill fail. Every thing must have a beginning ; our's may
only the squibbing of the gun, and the next shot will
completed. It may be only the flash in the pan; but
e will have a light, and a report.—(Laugh ter.) The
xt attempt made will be inevitably successful; for, de-
ad upon it, the cities, the counties, and the towns, will
list on the Members attending the meeting in Dublin.
there be ten or twelve of us at present, how proud
ereafter will each of us be who met here, and were the
lt to commence doing good for Ireland. I declare
do not know any human reward which would give
e half the pleasure that I will find in the reflection
at in obedience to that call I was amongst those
ho took the first great step for Ireland.—( Hear,
.ar, and cheers.) Then we will insist upon a proper re-
m] Bill for Ireland ; one, too, containing the democratic
lneiple, as much of it, at least, as the Reform Bill for
!Iland.—(Hear.) I have heard the English Reform
jill objected to as being too democratic in principle. My
ection is, that it is not democratic enough. Look
rough the history of every nation, and you will find it
rough
just in proportion to the prevalence of the de-
ocratic principle. Democratic liberty for ever !—( Hear,
10 cheers.) l‘lr. O'Connell concluded amid loud cheers
:tSaying " We insist upon justice for Ireland ; we in-
Pon a complete Reform Bill for Ireland, on the same
ineiple as that of England ; but, above all, a Bill giving
te__hundred and twenty-five Members to
Ireland."
