REPEAL ASSOCIATION.

The Association held its usual weekly meeting in
the Conciliation Hall this day.
Th© chair was taken at two o'clock by Martin
Ronan, Esq., of Limerick.

The hall was thronged in every part, and the gal-
leries were filled with fashionably dressed females.
In the course of the transaction of the ordinary
routine business, Mr. O'Connell entered the hall, and
was greeted by the most enthusiastic and prolonged
cheers.

Several subscriptions having been handed in, the
thanks of the meeting, on the motion of Mr. O'Con-
nell, were voted to the inhabitants of Placentia, New-
foundland, for a subscription of 161. transmitted by
them to the Association.

While several subscriptions were being handed in,
Mr. O'CONNELL observed that the expenses of the
trials would be enormous. Ile would say no more
for Ireland. He would be ashamed to say more.
The llon. Gentleman then handed in .54/. 2s. Cd.
from the grocer's assistants of Dublin ; an address
from whom to the Liberator was also read.

The following sums from America were handed in
by Mr. O'Connell :—St. John's, Newfoundland,
51. 10s. Bd. ; Pittsfield, 101; Richmond County, 10/. ;
Norfolk, 601. ; Baltimore, 1201.
These sums were announced amidst the most rap-
turous applause.
Mr. O'CoNNELL observed that as the hour at which
the Association had met that day was rather late, he
would reserve the reading of the correspondence that
accompanied those remittances, for Monday next,
when he would ask leave of the Attorney-General to
come down from the Courts.—(Laughter.)
On the motion of Mr. O'CONNELL, the thanks of
the Association were passed to the parties whose
names were connected with those subscriptions.
In the course of one of the various short addresses
which Mr. O'Connell made to the assembly, he ob-
served that he did not care one pinch of snuff for the
result of the trials. He inculcated the neces-
sity of peaceable conduct on the present occasion
throughout Ireland, and in Dublin particularly,
where he trusted the people who assembled in the
streets to witness his progress to the Court, would

not hoot or groan at any individuals. He also guarded
them against the spread of ribbonism.
Among the subscriptions handed in was 11. sent
from the Queen's Bench by Dr. Gray, the proprietor
of the Freeman's Journal and one of the traversers.
The whole amount for the week was 9041. 19s. sd.
The announcement of that sum was received with
loud and enthusiastic applause.
The following letter was read by Mr. Crean :
" Merrion-square, Febtivaloi the Holy Name, 1844,

sue Holy iNarne,
"Dear Sir,—As I shall be of course confined by my attend-
ance at the trial to-morrow, and thereby unable to be person-
ally present at the Association; I inclose you 11., and beg of
you to get proposed as a member of the Association my twenty-
sixth grandchild, Miss Eliza O'Connell, who had hardly a right
to use the name as yet.
" I hope and believe that in the necessary absence of many
of the leading members of the Association not one word of an
irritating nature will he uttered, but that, on the contrary, the
people throughout the country, and the repeal wardens in par-
ticular, will once again have it authentically declared unto
them that the success of the repeal agitation depends altogether
upon the most perfect peace, order, and tranquillity being pre-
served throughout. If they wish to gratify me and their other
friends they will preserve the most perfect peace, order, and
tranquillity. I repeat this advice so frequently that every man
throughout Ireland might understand the deep conviction I
entertain, that whoever disturbs the public peace in the slightest
degree is a traitor to the sacred cause of repeal.
"The next point to which I wish to call the attention of all
the members of the Association is the great Catholic move-
ment which is now being made in order to endeavour to obtain
for the Catholics of Ireland some legal guarantee for the enjoy-
ment of the rights intended to be secured to them by the
Emancipation Bill—it being perfectly clear that the conduct of
the Attorney-General is, on the other hand, a practical repeal
of the most valuable right intended to be secured by that Bill.
I do not at all deny that the Attorney-General had legal autho-
rity to make the use he has done of the royal prerogative, by
the exclusion of Catholics from that jury. The moral pro-
priety of so using that prerogative is quite another question ;
but this is perfectly certain, that it is absolutely necessary
for the Catholics of Ireland, for the preservation of their
lives, liberties, and properties, to continue the Catholic agita-
tion until a legal guarantee shall be obtained against a ;similar
exercise of the Royal prerogative in future. The Catholics
have two things to complain of—first, of the striking off
of every single Catholic, eleven in number, from the bal-
loted panel. This is sought to be accounted for by an idle ex-
cuse that these eleven were all Repealers. The allegation,
however, is unfounded, the fact Being distinctly otherwise;
but even if they were all Repealers the exeuse would be a bad
one, and would serve as a precedent for any other idle excuse
that may be given by a future Attorney-General. I would
particularly press the folly of yielding to excuses of that kind
to mitigate a prominent and undoubted fact, namely the exclu-
sion of all the Catholics from the balloted panel.
" Another cause of complaint which the Catholics have is,
that there have disappeared from the jury panel—nobody can
tell us exactly how—but by some manoauvre or misfortune,
about sixty-three individuals, thirty-five of whom were Catho-
lics of respectability, several of whom took no part whatsoever
in the Repeal agitation, and about twenty-eight Protestants,
most of them, it is said, of Liberal politics. This is what
Judge Perrin is reported to have called a matter of deep suspi-
cion. That seems a very moderate way of expressing it;
but however it be expressed, and especially if it be true that
the jury panel was transmitted, as has been alleged, by some
of the clerks in the office, to England, it is perfectly clear that
the Catholics should apply to the Legislature for some mode of
legal remedy against the occurrence in future of a similar
fatality. As the thing stands at present, the Catholics of
Ireland are clearly deprived of any legal guarantee for the
most valuable of the rights we thought we had acquired,
namely, a fair and unsectarian trial by jury.
" I scorn to complain that this practical repeal of the Eman-
cipation Act has occurred in my case. I was one of the most
prominent in obtaining what we considered Emancipation, and
it is 'quite fit that the discovery should be made in my person,
that such Emancipation may be practically repealed. It im-
poses a sacred duty to continue Catholic agitation again—it
renders itself doubly incumbent upon me to exert myself once
again, as a Catholic, to make the Emancipation Act, in reality,
what it was in spirit intended to be.
" My object in submitting these reflections to the Associa-
tion is simply this :—To convince the members of the Asso-
ciation that they ought not to interfere, as Repealers, with this
distinct and Catholic agitation. It should be a distinct and
separate agitation—totally unconnected with the question of
repeal. Ihe repeal should not, if possible, even be mentioned
at any of the meetings held for the purpose of petitioning to
have the Emancipation Act rendered perfect. There are
many Catholics non-Repealers or anti-Repealers, who feel with
us the absolute necessity of a betfer protection for their lives,
liberties, and properties. Let us, then, cheerfully follow,
assist, and support those persons ; and I trust that every person
in Ireland will, as speedily as may be convenient, send petitions
to Parliament, and an address to the Queen, praying for relief
and protection.
" It is quite true that those addresses to the Queen must go
through the hands of Sir James Graham, who was distinctly
understood in the last session to have more than insinuated a
charge of perjury against the Catholics ; he was, however, in-
duced to retract or disavow any such charge, but it is to be
apprehended that his retractation was merely verbal, whilst his
real opinion may by recent events be practically illustrated.
" Upon the whole, therefore, I have to implore of the Re-
peaters--
" First, to observe perfect peace and tranquillity all over
Ireland.

" Secondly, not to mix up the Repeal agitation with the
Catholic agitation for the better security of trial by jury.
" Thirdly, to continue, in every other respect, their peace-
ful, legal, loyal, and constitutional exertions for the restoration
of our domestic legislature, in the person of our respected and
loved Sovereign the Queen, in the Irish House of Lords and
Irish Hoase of Commons.

" I am, dear Sir, your faithful servant,
" To Martin Crean, Esq., "DANIEL O'CONNELL.

MURDER AND ROBBERY.

In addition to the excitement caused in Dublin by the
State trials,- a general feeling of horror was created by,
the report that a barbarous murder had been com-
mitted during the prievous evening, in the priest's house
attached to the Catholic chapel at Rathmines. The
Rev. Mr. Roche, the curate, and other clergymen, reside
in the house. At seven o'clock last evening (Sunday)
the house was broken open, and money stolen to the
amount of 401., and the maid-servant barbarously mur-
dered. She was found with her throat cut. It is not
known whether there is any clue to the discovery of the
perpetrators of this horrid outrage.

SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS

FROM THE EVENING PAPERS OF YESTERDAY.
GLOBE.—When the fact became known that every
Roman Catholic name had been expunged from the
Dublin jury-list by the Crown agents, and the practical
injustice of such an extreme application of the prerogative
was pointed out, the objection was met by the Government
organs with an admission, that had the Roman Catholics so
struck out been excluded as Catholics, there would have
been grounds for impugning the act as invidious and un-
just. But it so happened, we are told, that the whole of the
eleven Catholics struck out of the list by the Crown agent
were Repealers. They were rejected, not as Catholics,
but as Repealers. As on the trial of Chartist leaders
for sedition or conspiracy, or any other offence, alleged
to have been committed by them in such relation, the
Crown would object to Chartists as unfit to exercise,
with the requisite impartiality, the functions of jury-
men in such a cause; so, it was urged, Repealers were
properly excluded from the panel from which a jury
for the trial of the parties accused of conspiracy and
sedition, as Repeal leaders, was to be selected.
There was a show of reason in this mode of
stating the question. It would have been difficult, if
not impossible, to overturn the argument, supposing the
assumption on which it was based to have been valid.
The whole case rested on the simple matter of fact—
were all the Roman Catholics who were drawn on
this jury, Repealers ? Every Catholic was struck off.
If any were rejected who were not Repealers, then it
followed that their rejection was in consequence of their
religious creed, and not of their political predilections.
The fact is now ascertained to have been—not as the
unscrupulous organs of the Government stated, but that
four of the Roman Catholics struck from the list by the
Crown agent were not Repealers, and never had any
connexion whatever with the repeal movement !
Driven from this refuge of lies by the force of in-
contestable facts, the fiction they had invented—as a
temporary relief from the overwhelming odium which
the bigotry and injustice of the act had provoked—being
demolished, the ground is shifted. The exclusion of
the Catholics, as such, is now boldly vindicated. Pro-
testant ascendancy in the jury-box is insolently vin-
dicated as essential to the attainment of a verdict of
which truth should be the element. The organs of the
party—which, in the country where the trial is to be
had, constitute so decided a minority—take heart, and
now impute to the Roman Catholics a destitution of all
regard to moral obligation. Not merely the peasantry
—the labourers—the lowest of the Catholic population,
but the higher class of tradesmen, the first-class shop-
keepers, the merchants and gentry of the county of
the city of Dublin, are charged with the deep deprava-
tion of moral principle, and disregard of social ties,
which the crime of perjury involves ! Such is the foul
charge which the Herald—the now back-bone advocate
of all the Government says and does—imputes to the
Roman Catholics, as a body. The senseless calumnies,
creations of bigotry in its dotage, and of ascendancy tot-
tering to its fall—which the Eldons, Rodeos, and the
Wetherells, with the smaller but not less virulent shoals
of clamourers against Catholic Emancipation, urged as
reasons for excluding the Catholics from the common
rights of citizens—are again revived. A Roman Ca-
tholic will regard perjury as a meritorious act, if
the interests of his religion are to be observed by
its commission. "If a single Catholic had been al-
lowed to remain on the reduced jury list in the trial now
pending between the Crown and O'Connell, that indi-
vidual "—so the Herald assures the country—" would
have received a significant hint from his spiritual
rulers, that his soul's everlasting welfare depended
on his loyalty to the Church in this important
crisis !" The inference is irresistible. The ingenuity of
man—the reckless impudence of the venal Heralds of
a Government which aspires to the bad eminence of
the Castlereaghs and Sidmouths of days we had fondly
hoped had passed away for ever—cannot evade the
ignominy, nor silence the indignation, which the rejection
of honourable citizens as unfit to serve on a jury, be-
cause of their religious opinions, has produced. The
Government has branded the Roman Catholics with the
crime of perjury by their acts ; the Government organs
have admitted the acts, their motives, and their object,
by the justification they have put forth in its behalf.
The foul insult to a nation in its most sensitive part, the
creed which it professes, and to the clergy who minister
at its altars, will recoil upon the Government which has
dared to inflict the wrong. Public opinion, against
which no Government can long prevail, will speak out
its reprobation of a proceeding so fraught with danger to
the peace, because so pregnant with wrong to the people,
of Ireland. The suspiciously "dropped" sheets, contain-
ing the sixty-three names omitted from the revised jury
list, assumes a form vastly different from that it would
have borne but for the striking out the Roman Ca-
tholics from the panel. That which would have been
received as a blunder, is now looked upon as a fraudu-
lent abstraction. The more the list was reduced, the
less probability would there be of an inconvenient num,
ber of names pertaining to the proscribed creed
being drawn upon the ballot and consequently
the greater chance 4f the jury being exclusively
of the right sort, But what an onus has the Go.
vernment placed upon the jury, as packed by its

officers ! We scarcely know whether a conviction or an
acquittal of the parties charged will be the most da-
maging. An acquittal will be a popular triumph, which
will prostrate the Ministry in the dust, because obtained
in spite of its preconcerted schemes to force a convic-
tion; while a verdict of guilty against O'Connell and the
rest of the traversers,twill be deprived of all moral in-
fluence by the disreputable means which have been taken
to secure that result.
STANDARD.—At the aggregate meeting of Roman
Catholics, which was held in Dublin on Saturday last, the
Emancipation Bill was proclaimed a nullity, because the
law officer of the Crown had availed himself of the right
of challenge provided by the statute, to reject some 10 or
11Roman Catholic Repealers from the panel; the attorney
for the traversers having challenged an equal number on
his part, apparently for no other reason in the world
than that they were Protestants and not Repeaters I It
would be idle to repeat the proofs we have already ad-
duced, that the conduct here complained of was not
only perfectly proper and legitimate, but that the Crown
Solicitor would have been guilty of a gross dereliction of
his duty had lie acted otherwise. How, in the name of
common sense, was the panel to be reduced, if both parties
were not permitted to strike off the number required by
the law ? Was Mr. Kemmis to reject the names of re-
spectable Protestants, with whose intelligence and up-
rightness he might happen to be acquainted, for the
purpose of retaining some ten or eleven persons, who were
not only Catholics but Repealers—men who had pledged
themselves deeply on the very question they were called
upon to try ; or was it expected of him that he should
leave the panel in the hands of Mr. Pierce Mahoney, in
order that he might challenge twelve Protestant jurors
with impunity. "But," says Mr. Thomas Wyse, "if
being a Repealer renders a man unfit to sit upon a jury,
why should not an anti-Repealer be deemed equally in-
eligible?" We will answer this inquiry by another. If
being a notorious burglar renders a man unfit to sit upon
a jury impanelled to try a gang of housebreakers,
why should not a person who has never committed the
crime of house-breaking, or shop-lifting, be considered
as equally disqualified ? Simply, because it would be a
mockery of justice to depute a man who is obnoxious to
punishment himself, to decide on the guilt or innocence of
a fellow criminal and, in all probability, an accomplice.
It constantly happens in this country that men
of the most irreproachable character are rejected from
a panel on the bare suspicion of being friendly to
the parties they are to try, but no one has ever regarded
their exclusion on such a ground as a stigma on their
credibility. If the Emancipation Bill be a mere L''‘`.k
because Roman Catholic Repealers ~„
sit in judgment on each other, it is, we trust, long timely
to remain so. The argument of Mr. Ford, that
because Roman Catholic ' constituencies had occa-
sionally returned Protestant agitators instead of
representatives 'Leir own religious persuasion, they
were ince?' ;tile of being influenced by religious preju-
dices, is -1-;ardly less absurd. A Protestant agitator is
often more useful in his vocatiob than a Roman Catholic
of toile same political professioi, could be ; and this is
prfscisely the haison why s. » man will II e-
q. seetiro a pc.rereuce eve. / zr__-,3-^raite and
c, e.aitious Roman Catholic. Mr. Sheil's speech,
in which he did not overlook the 63 jurors acci-
dentally omitted from the ,panel, affords a striking proof
that a Protestant representative is —ten selected, not
16:',.ause he is a Protestant, but because he is the cham-
pion of Roman Catholic agitation, and only boasts of
his Protestantism when he desires to give value to his
attempts to degrade and calumniate it. Mr. Steele
is a Protestant ; but who ever heard him give
the Church, or the community to which he
professes to belong, a good word ? Yet the head pacifi-
cator is, for obvious reasons, a greater favourite at the
Corn Exchange than many Roman Catholics of much
more exalted character and pretensions. In a feeble and
jejune speech, stuffed with the usual number of thrice-
refuted falsehoods, and presenting, in fact, a mere echo
of the groans of Mr. Pierce Mahoney on the latest of his
grievances, Mr. O'Connell is silly enough to invite
a comparison of the probable treatment of Chartist
with that of Roman Catholic jurors. He has the
effrontery to declare his belief that Chartist jurors
would not be rejected in favour of men having
no avowed sympathy with the parties prosecuted, or
that if they were, they would not put up with such
an indignity. We have no doubt, did Chartists
often happen to be qualified to serve on special juries,
that they would be equally liable with Roman Catholics
to be rejected from the panel in cases in which they
would be called to sit in judgment on their brother
Chartists ; nor would they have reason, therefore,
to complain that any stigma had been imposed upon
them. Men of the slightest delicacy of feeling would
rejoice at being relieved from a position which, if they
meant honestly, must be a most painful one—
that of weighing the imputed offences which have
originated in the very principles and prejudices by
which they themselves profess to be actuated. The pre-
text that the right of challenge has ever been regarded
in this country as conveying the slightest reflection on
the character of the party rejected, is notoriously un-
founded. Who that had the right to exercise such a
privilege, would hesitate, in the absence of a more serious
disqualification, to challenge a friend, or even an
avowed political sympathiser of his opponent, in pre-
ference to rejecting hap-hazard some one who might be
much better qualified to deal impartially with the case ?
Such objections are made every day in British courts of
justice without giving rise to the shadow of a complaint
that the credibility of the parties so rejected is intended
to be impeached. The whole tenor of Mr. O'Connell's
speech is a gross insult to the Roman Catholic body; for
treating his figment as a fact, that so many as 35 Roman
Catholics were omitted from the panel, among the 63
of whose absence he makes such bitter complaint, he
would, he tells us, " have beaten the Attorney-General
with his own weapons." In other words, he ex-
presses his conviction that had he been able to
secure the presence of but one Roman Catholic on
the jury (for the proportion, even under the cir-
cumstances he describes, could hardly have been
greater), he would have been secure of a triumph I If
this be not a stigma on the body in whose praise he
is so fervent, we know not what is. For the rest,
the falsehoods he reiterated with so much volubi-
lity have been so frequently refuted that it would
be worse than absurd to travel over the same ground
again. Truth, instead of coming " mended from his
tongue," always requires a great deal of " mending"
after he has meddled with it. There is hardly a " fact,"
great or " little," indeed, to which he professes to refer
in his Saturday's salmagundi, which has not been either
wholly falsified, or grossly distorted to suit the purposes
of the moment.
