may at once be set at rest, the Court think that
may call upon each gentivinan to declare that he is
satisfied to abide by what has just fallen from.Alr. DlOore,
Mr. FITZGIBBON-1 can only say that I did not mean
to attribute any unworthy motive to the Attorney-

REPEAL ASSOCIATION.

DUBLIN, MONDAY.
The usual weekly meeting of this Assoc:ation took place to-
day, in the Conciliation-hall, which was densely crowded be-
fore two o'clock, the hour fixed for the meeting. The chair
Li
was takcen by Caleb Powell, Esq , M.P. for the county of
merik.
About twenty minutes past two Mr. O'Connell entered, and
was greeted with enthusiastic cheering.
After the ordinary routine business was gone through,
Mr. O'CONNELL arise amidst loud cheering. He said he
hail to hand in money from a lady, Miss Ellen Dodd, of
Brownstown, and moved that she should be adtnitted.—(Car-
vied. ) Mr. O'Connell handed in various other subscriptions,
including Mr. Edward Francis Murray, son of Sir James Mur-
ray, whose letter was dated from Genoa, and expressed regret
that the present Ministers made no attempt to remove or dimi-
nish the mountain of injustice in Ireland.
Mr. O'CoeNeLL again rose, and said he wished to allude to
a matter that occurred at the sitting of the Court this morning.
Mr. John O'Connell sought permission of the Court to explain,
in reference to what had fallen from his distinguished counsel
on Saturday, that nothing on earth could induce him to become
in any manner a party to any compromise of repeal. He said
he felt it a personal duty to prevent any misunderstanding on
this point, as he never would consent to anything which could,
in the least degree, compromise the inalienable right of Ireland
to domestic and national legislation.—( Cheers. )
Mr. SMITH O'flatEts rose, amidst loud cheering and waving
of hats, to address the meeting. He said, as no notice of his
resolutions had been given, he deemed it necessary to put the
meeting in possession of them, especially as the Tipperary elec-
tion was so near at hand; The resolutions were then read by
the Hon. Gentleman, as follows :
" Resolved, that inasmuch as it will greatly
,conduce to the
snoops of our national cause, if tandidates favourable to a Re-
peal of the Union be relieved from all expenses connected with
their elections, and as, in the present state of the law rela.ive
to bribery, the choice of the electors may be defeated by the
smallest expenditure on the part of the candidates in provid-
ing refreshment for voters, or in conveying them to the poll ;
it is earnestly recommended by the Repeal Association that,
in the event of a contest for any county, city, or town, the
several parishes should send their voters to the poll free of all
charge, direct or indirect, to the candidate chosen by the
people, to uphold the cau'c of our country. •
" That the thanks of this Association he tendered to those
professional agents who shall volunteer their gratuitous services
in behalf of candidates favourable to a Repeat of the Union.
" That in case any intimidation be used by landlords or
others, to prevent electors from voting for such candidates, -it
is desirable that all the circumstances connected with such in-
timidation should be made known to the Repeal Association."
The Hon. Gentleman raid he congratulated the meeting on
the State prosecutions, which afforded the Irish people the op-
portunity of putting on record the wrongs which caused the
repeal movement. Those prosecutions had rallied around
them the true friends of freedom of discussion. He would not
comment on the conduct of the Government, or say whether
that conduct was calculated to excite respect or contempt. He
should not comment on the defence, so far as it bad proceeded,
or the magnificent speech of the distinguished advocate who
had addressed the Court on Saturday, aed who insisted that it
was not the Protestant nor the Catholic, not the aristocracy
nor the democracy, but the union of both, that was required
to give peace, freedom, and prosperity to Ireland.—(Cheers.)
He should not refer to the result of the trial now pending,
but this he would say, that either result, a conviction or an
acquittal, would be equally disastrous to the Government,
for it was, in reality, the Government that were upon their
trial. As to Mr. O'Connell, his position was that of a man
who must be elevated even still higher in public opinion, and in
the confidence and affeation of his conntrymen.—(Cheers. )
The Hon. and Learned Gentleman then proceeded to refer to
his resolutions in detail, showing their advantage-in rendering
elections more pure and independent. Resolutions exactly
similar ;sere passed by the people of Limerick, and it was by
such exertions that the people of Ireland would obtain a triumph.
Very little coercion had, he should say, been made by the people
of Ireland, if indeed any coercion at all, to compel their repre-
sentatives to support a repeal of the union ; but be should say
that at the next general election such would not be the case.
The resolutions he had submitted to their consideration had
received the approval of him to whom they all looked for advice
and assistance, and of the committee of that Association. The
lion. Gentleman concluded by moving the adoption of the
resolutions.
Mr. O'CONNELL rose, he said, to second the resolutions
proposed by his talented and patriotic friend, and if they
were to be adopted because he (Mr. O'Connell) approved of
them, he would most unfeignedly say, their being brought
forward by his friend. ought to ensure them the. respect and
admiration of the people. Mr. O'Brien came amongst them
at a moment of peril, and whatever might be the result o
the impending state trials, the people of Ireland would ne
want for leaders.—( Hear, hear.) He was proud to say, the
utmost tranquillity existed in the country, and should he be
sent to prison, his chief consolation would be, that they
continued quiet, and that the reward of their peaceful con-
dact would be a repeal of the union.—( Hear, hear.) He was
proud the resolutions were proposed by Mr. O'Brien, parti-
Aegyh theyo never consent to the would obey the law as
i
cularly at a time when his valued friend, Mr. Maher, was
a candidate for Tipperary, where he would be returned in
spite of every epposition. Ile (Mr O'Connell) did not
know exactly what legal mode would be necessary for him to
would adopt after the trials; but he would require of the people of
Ireland, whatever that should be, to give it their perfect ac-
quiescence.—(Cheers.)
downiesce nee
union ; and should it be said that the Attorney-General's pro-
secutions would frighten the Irish people 2—( Cheers. ) One
thing gave him much pain, and that was the diminished
amount of the repeal rent. He had received several commu-
nications, saying that remittances would be made after the pro-
secutions were over, and he could not help expressing his en-
tire disapproval of such a plan. Whatever they sent would
of course be placed to their credit, and they must be aware
that any diminution in the rent and patriotism of the people,
would be a triumph to their enemies. The Honourable and
Learned Gentleman then referred to the natural advantages
which Ireland possessed; and concluded by saying that peace
and perseverance was their eaotto—peace and perseverance the
safety valve of the State, and that peace and perseverance
would finally obtain for them a repeal of the union.
Ihe resolutions were then put, seriatim, and adopted by
acclamation.
Several sums of money were then handed in, amounting to
upwards of 20/.
Mr. DONNE handed in a petition to be presented by Mr.
O'Connell to Parliament, signed by 9,500 conspirators, for a
repeal of the union.
Mr. O'CONNELL..—liurra for repeal.
Mr. Jonas O'Coee ELL alluded in terms of admiration to the
splendid specimen of eloquence which Mr. Shell had given on
Saturday last in his behalf, in the Court of Queen's Bench.
Whatever became of the prosecutions, whatever was the doom
to which he (Mr. J. O'Connell) might be subjected, he never
would cease his exertions for the attainment of the legislative
independence of their native land...a( ( sheers. )
The Rev. T. O'MALLEY then addressed the meeting.
He alluded to some observations made by an Hon. and
Gallant Member of the Association in disparagement of
federalism ;" but he would not then enter into a discussion
on the subject, as he intended to reserve himself to ans-
wer the common enemy. Federalism was, in some mea-
sure, a child of his own. He had made many sacrifices, as
his Hon. Friend Mr. O'Brien could testify, in coming for-
ward to advocate it; yet he was not blindly wedded to any
opinions on the subject. The Rev. Gentleman then alluded
to the Government of the United States, from which he drew
the model of his plan, and where he resided during some of
the happiest days of his life. So far was federalism from being
opposed to the repeal of the Legislative Union, it was directly
contrary; for they held that the Act of Union should be vir-
tually repealed before the principle of federalism could come
into play. In military parlance, the Federalists were a corps
of the grand army of Repealers ; and their proposition re-
duced the controversy with England to this--was she satis-
fied with a union of equality—a union which, instead of weak-
ening her political condition, would strengthen it far beyond
what it was at present 1—( Hear, hear.) The Whigs, it ap-
peared, were not willing to give the people their own Parlia-
ment : but they were ready to have a Parliament assemble
here once in every three years—a plan which he had no hesita-
tion in denouncing as a clumsy mode of satisfying the wants and
wishes of the Mall people. He could not see that a passage
from one country to the ether would make gentlemen
change their places from one side to the other ; and what ad-
vantages could, therefore, be derived from such a plan ? There
was no salvation for Ireland out of the pale and protection of
an Irish Parliament ; for, let the two great parties of the State
battle as they might, it was only by such a Parliament the
country could be redeemed from the evils which pressed upon
her energies and destroyed her resources.—( Hear.) The Rev.
Gentleman concluded amidst loud cheers.
Mr. WILLIAMS, an American gentleman, addressed the
meeting, but was called to order by Mr. O'Connell, in conse-
quence of strong language which he had made use of.
Mr. S. O'BRIEN gave notice of a "lotion for the appoint-
ment of a committee to watch over the proceedings of Members
of Parliament.
Mr. O'CONNELL observed that some persons were going
about the city, as they had done before, to entrap persons, col.
lecting money to finish the Conciliation-hall. Now he wished
to inform the public that such persons were guilty of a gross
fraud— that no money was required for such a purpose—and he
hoped those who were duped would take every measure to
bring the perpetrators of the fraud before the magistrates.
The CHAIRMA N handed in a pound, as the subscriPliOn -for
the year 1844 of the Rev. Mr. Meara, P.P., of Toomevera, in
the county of Tipperary.
Mr. O'CONNELL had great pleasure in proposing the thanks
of the Association to the Rev. Mr. Meara, one of the oldest
and best friends of Leland. He was mainly instrumental in
putting an end to those factions comically termed "Black Hens
and Magpies," in the county of Tipperary, and had actually
succeeded in making the black hens marry the magpies.
The repeal rent was then announced to he 372/. 145. I Id., after
which Sir Valentine Blake, Bart., M. P., took the chair, and
the meeting adjourned to Mouday next.
