THE REPEAL ASSOCIATION.

DUBLIN, SEPT. 23.—The weekly meeting of the
Repeal Association took place at the Conciliation
Hall to-day. Being the last meeting which Mr.
O'Connell will attend before his departure for Derry-
nane Abbey, more than ordinary interest was at-
tached to the proceedings, and such was the anxiety
to be present that, though one o'clock was the hour
advertised for the commencement of the meeting,
every part of the hall was crowded to inconvenience
as early as eleven o'clock. Mr. O'Connell arrived at
a few minutes after one o'clock, and was received
with enthusiastic cheering, accompanied by waving
of hats and handkerchiefs, which was continued for
more than five minutes, and was again and again
renewed with unabated enthusiasm. The Hon. and
Learned Gentleman was preceded by several of the
popular leaders, who were each received with much
applause. Among the gentlemen present were the
Hon. Hely Hutchinson, Mr. R. A. Fitzgerald, ex J.P.,
Muckridge House, county Cork ; Mr. Kelly, M.P.;
Mr. John:O'Connell, M.P.; Mr. Henry Grattan,
M.P., &c.
On the motion of Mr. O'Cornilm,,
Francis Comyn, Esq., Woodstock, county Galway,
ex J.P., was called to the Chair.

The CHAIRMAN returned thanks for the honour
done him, but said that he would not trespass on the
time of the meeting by any lengthened remarks, as he
knew that much more important matters than any-
thing with which he could trouble them was to come
before the Association.

The Secretary haring read the minutes of the last
day's proceedings,
Mr. O'Corousm. said he wished to begin the business
of the day by handing in 2/., the subscriptions of two
Protestant gentlemen, of most respectable families,
and of independent fortunes, John Langford Rea,
and Samuel John Collos, Esqs. Both gentlemen be-
longed to the county of Kerry, and he would take
that opportunity of observing that the Protestant
gentry of that county had always been distinguished
for their liberality, and for the kindly feelings with
which they mingled with their Catholic neighbours.
Some attempts had been latterly made by a vile
portion of the press to disturb that harmony, but, he
was happy to say, with very trifling success ; and he
hailed the accession of the two gentlemen whose
names he had announced as a proof that the liberality
to which he alluded was extending in the proper
direction.

Mr. FITZGERALD, of Muckridge, handed in 71.165.
from Youghall. He said that it had been subscribed
at a meeting recently held in that town, and was for-
warded as the first instalment to the " Impeachment
Fund."—(Cheers.) He wished to take that opportu-
nity of proclaiming to the Association the determina-
tion of the inhabitants of Youghall and its neighbour-
hood to persevere in the peaceable course which had
been recommended to them so repeatedly by the
Liberator, but they were at the same time equally
resolved never to cease in their exertions until the
great object for which the entire Irish people were
now struggling should be attained.—(Cheers.) He
would remind the meeting that it was at Youghall
that the first triumph had been obtained over Mr.
Attorney-General Smith.—(Hear, hear.) The men
of Youghall first taught him the feelings of the Irish
people towards him and his principles, and they were
now not a little astonished to find that, notwithstand-
ing that defeat and the still more signal defeat which
he met with in the recent triumphant liberation of
Mr. O'Connell and his fellow-martyrs, Mr. T. B. C.
Smith should persevere in adhering to an office for
which he had proved himself to be so ill-qualified.
Mr. JAMES KELLY, M.P., handed in several sums
of money, and then proceeded to address the meeting.
He congratulated the Association on the spirit of in-
quiry that was abroad, and expressed his conviction
that the best results would be derived from it. All
agreed that a change would be desirable, but there
was a great diversity of opinion as to the means by
which this change could be accomplished. Some
thought that if the Queen should hold a Parliament
in Dublin every three years it might answer the pur-
pose ; but much as ho desired to see their Sovereign
amongst them, he considered that the carrying out of
this proposition would be but a slight alleviation of
their diseases.—(Hear.) Others were of opinion
that a federal Parliament would be the best means of
meeting the difficulty ; and this party being by far
the more numerous, were entitled to the greatest
respect. But until the appearance of Mr. Grey
Porter's pamphlet they had not put forth their
opinions in a tangible shape. Mr. Porter was
the son of a Protestant clergyman, and was
High Sheriff of Fermanagh, and the sentiments
of such a man were entitled to the most serious
consideration ; and more particularly as it was
evident he had the good of his country at heart. The
opinions of Mr. Porter were certainly rather indefi-
nite ; but he promised that before Christmas he would
place them more fully before the public. It was to
be regretted that such a production as Mr. Porter's
should contain aspersions on the Catholic religion and
its ministers ; but he would not advert to them, as he
was perfectly satisfied that the Catholic religion was
beyond the reach of calumny.—(Hear, hear.) Mr.
Porter had charged the Catholic clergy with a deter-
mination to create an ascendancy, but he was sure
that had Mr. Porter thought deeply on the subject, or
looked into the proceedings of the Association, he
would have arrived at a contrary conclusion ; or had
he attended the late banquet, he would have heard
several dignitaries of that Church disclaim any such
intention.—(Hear, hear.) The Association was most
anxious to conciliate all parties, and they would
therefore pass over the alloy which was contained in
Alr. Porter's pamphlet, but they would hold him to
his promise of stating his opinions on federalism. The
lion. Gentleman then congratulated the Association
on the re-appearance of Mr. O'Connell amongst them,
and rejoiced that the machinations of their enemies
had been frustrated. They, had hoped to render him
emaciated and disheartened, but he would appeal to
the meeting whether they ever saw him in better
health or more buoyant spirits.—(Cheers.) Their
triumph over judge-made law was most signal, but
he considered that the time was not far distant when
a far greater triumph awaited them—the realisation
of their fondest hopes, the repeal of the legislative
union.—(Cheers.)
Mr. O'CONNELL read a letter from Mr. Thomas
Smith, of Gardemath, Kells, county of Meath, en-
closing 11., the subscription of Mr. Arland Porter, of
Ballyduff, county of Cavan. The letter stated that
Mr. Porter was a Protestant gentleman who had be-
come strongly persuaded that the amelioration of the
Irish people could only be effected through the in-
strumentality of a domestic legislature, and added
that " it may add to the interest of his adhesion to
remark, that he is a relative of Mr. Grey Porter,
high sheriff of the county of Fermanagh, and is de-
termined to exert his influence, which is considerable,
ever his fellow-rrotett.i.i.., -r to
convince them that the repeal of the Act of L'niun is
absolutely indispensable to their future happiness and
prosperity.
Mr. o'Constur.r. next read a letter from Mrs.
Skerret, a lady residing near Loughrea, in the county
of Galway, inclosing 31. 35., the subscriptions ofsome
ladies of her acquaintanceship. He said that though
some persons might be inclined to sneer at the part
which the women of Ireland were taking in the pre-
sent movement, they must know very little of human
nature, as there never was a successful movement in
society which had not been led and countenanced by
the better portion of the creation. It was to the in-
fluence on society possessed by the ladies, and to their
countenance and support, that all valuable ameliora-
tions were due; and it was a delightful consideration
that the ladies of Ireland were in the van of the
struggle now going on for the independence of their
native country.. Where was there a man base enough
to shrink from his post, or traitor enough to become
the despicable wretch that could remain backward
from his duty in the presence of his countrywomen ?
No; they would show the ladies of Ireland that they
would die, to the last man, before the slightest disre-
spect should be offered to the women of Ireland.—
(Cheers.)
Mr. HENRY GRATTAN moved that the municipal
declaration in favour of repeal should be engrossed
and enrolled amongst their records. The Hon. Gen-
tleman dwelt on the great impulse which this " Irish
manifesto" had given to the cause of repeal, and then
proceeded to animadvert in strong terms on the con-
duct of the English press, in reviling the character
of the Irish people and their clergy. He cautioned
the people to be on their guard against the machina-
tions of the British Minister—an attempt would be
made to bribe and seduce them, but he had no hesi-
tation in saying, that if they persevered continuously
infallibly
be their present course, their exertions would
be crowned with success. The Alorncieg Chronicle
had stated that repeal was equivalent to separation,

but he would hold that the contrary was the case, and
that the only means of maintaining the connection be-
tween the two countries, was by acceding to the demands
of the Irish people for domestic legislation. Filling
the country with an army, and covering it with political
spies, was not the way to preserve the loyal and con-
stitutional feelings which actuated the people of this
country. It was plain that Ireland had not pros-
pered under English regime, and he would recom-
mend the experiment that the Irish should be
allowed to govern themselves for the next seven years,
and if it should be proved that the country did not rise
in prosperity during that period, he would be con-
tented to hand it over to the management of England.
His dying declaration to his children should be, never
to be at peace till justice was done to their country.
Mr. O'ColcicßLL then rose amidst loud cheers, and
said, before commencing the regular business of the
day, he wished to read a letter which he had received
from the north of Ireland. He then read a letter
from a district in the county of Antrim, stating that
Ribbonism had made its appearance in that locality,
and that a Protestant had lost his life at a dance, at
which some young persons had assembled. The
Hon. and Learned Gentleman proceeded to say that
he had received that letter with the deepest regret,
and he wished again to pronounce emphatically, that
the greatest crime any man can commit against Ire-
land was to become a Ribbonman. He would also
remind those deluded men, that every one of them
who took an oath or a pledge, binding themselves as
members of a secret society, was guilty of a transport-
able felony, and was left at the mercy of spies and
informers. He moved that the letter be referred to
the Committee, and that they be instructed to devise
means for putting an end to these crimes.
The motion was put and carried.
Mr. O'CONNBLL again rose and said, that after the
proceedings in the Court of Queen's Bench, and the ,
illegal reception, as evidence against the traversers, of
matters published in newspapers, on the ground that
the proprietors of those newspapers were amongst the
traversers, and were members of the Association, an
endeavour was made to yield to what was then stated
to be law, but what they did not believe to be law,
by enabling the subscribers to their funds to procure
newspapers for themselves. The proprietors of the
newspapers were, however, no longer members of the
Association, and there was therefore no longer any
occasion for the precaution which they had taken. It
was found to be very troublesome and very expensive
to the several localities, and he had accordingly to
move, on the part of the Committee, the following
resolution :

" Resolved—That the system of drawback be aban-
doned, and that the practice be restored which entitles
subscribers to the repeal rent to receive newspapers to
the value of 1/. 6s. for each 101. subscribed, the news-
papers to be Dublin newspapers, and to be selected by
the corresponding contributors."
The resolution was seconded by Dr. NAGLE, and
carried.

Mr. O'Cornms. again rose. He said, the next
topic on which he was directed to report from the
Committee related to repeal reading-rooms. There
were SOO of those establishments already opened
throughout the country, and it was the wish of the
Association to increase them, and encourage them to
the utmost extent. The repeal reading-rooms would
effectually remove the youths of the country from
the public-houses, and would afford them rational
amusement and instruction. The Committee could
not undertake to give them all pecuniary aid, but
they would furnish them with some newspapers, and
with the tracts published by the Association ; while
the members would procure other newspapers for
themselves, besides books. The resolution which he
was instructed to move was as follows :
" Resolved—That this Association recommend the es-
tablishment of repeal reading-rooms, and will give every
support in its power to such reading-rooms ; but that It
is not prepared to pledge itself to make pecuniary grants
in all cases in which reading-rooms may be established."

The resolution was seconded by Mr. KELLY, M.P.,
and carried.

Mr. O'CONNELL said—Before addressing the meet-
ing on the regular topics of the day, he wished to
notice a few matters of minor importance. The first
was an omission which he noticed in the report of
the grand dinner on Thursday last, which appeared
in the Morning Chronicle of Saturday. The omis-
sion was that of the letter of Lord Cloncurry, which
had been read by the Secretary, and to which he at-
tached much importance. It had been left out of the
report, he had no doubt, by accident, among some
other letters, and no fault could be attached to the
reporter, as it was not his business to copy the letters
himself, and as he presumed copies of the entire had
been furnished to him. He mentioned the subject
because the letter contained one paragraph which
was most important, as being the opinion of that
truly patriotic nobleman. It was as follows :—" I beg
leave to declare my usual sympathy with my coun-
trymen, and my joy at the most providential escape
from the projected massacre at Clontarf, and the
projected martyrdom by means of a fraudulent
jury."—(Hear, hear, and cheers.) He wished, in
the second place, to protest against something which
had fallen from his Honourable Friend the Mem-
ber for Meath, when he spoke of the spy system being
employed by Government in procuring the reports of
the proceedings of the Association. During the Ca-
tholic Association they had Government reporters
present at their meetings, and he always found them
to act as gentlemen should act. From his own experi-
ence of that branch of Government functionaries he
could speak highly favourably of them. They at-
tended the Committees of the House of Commons, and
it was surprising with what rapidity and accuracy
they took down the often-unconnected answering of
the different witnesses. He was always glad to see
them present, as he was very sure of having his own
speeches accurately taken down. For instance, the
report taken by Mr. Ross, at Mullaghmast, was
very correct; but he was not equally satisfied at see-
ing policemen taking notes of their proceedings.—
(Hear, hear.) In the first place, they were standing
in the crowd; secondly, reporting was not their pro-
fession ; and thirdly, if they happened to be dishonest,
they might take down the strong phrases and omit
the qualifications, whereas both would appear in the
notes of the professional reporters.—(Hear, hear.)
The third subject he wished to mention was some
exceedingly strong observations that had been used
by a gentleman whom he much esteemed (Dr. Gray),
at the dinner on Thursday night. That gentleman
spoke very harshly of England, and spoke of hating
English people, and he wished to protest against such
language. He was himself always ready enough to
blame the crimes of the people of England, but he
could not remain silent when such general expressions
were made against them—expressions that coil..
only be accounted for by the hurry of a tumultuous
moment. He totally disavowed any participation in
those expressions, and the Association' could have
nothing to do with them.—(Hear, hear.) He
would next proceed to bring the business of the
day before the Association. On the last day of
meeting, it had been referred to the Committee
to report whether it was necessary to hold the great
meetine' at Clontuf, the suppression of which had
be en described by Lord Cloncurry in the manner that
he had read to them. That meeting would only be
necessary for the assertion of a great constitutional
principle, which no longer required to be vindicated.
They insisted on the right of the Queen's subjects to
meet in any numbers, no matter how large, for peace-
ably petitioning the Legislature. Change, in itself,
should be guarded against, and should not be made
unless called for by the greater portion of the people.
The more severe and oppressive any grievance became
the greater would be the number of the people calling
for its redress. Petitions might have forged signa-
tures attached to them, but at a meeting every person
had an opportunity of protesting against any particu-
lar doctrine, and public meetings were, therefore, the
best means of ascertaining the bearing of public opi-
nion. It was for this reason, and because he had
heard Lord Althorp, in 1832, declare that, " though
he would think himself justified in resisting repeal, i
even at the expense of a civil war, still, that f the
overwhelming majority of the Irish people demanded
it, they were entitled to have it granted, that he de-
cided on holding the monster meetings, as they were
called, of last year. He had been refused every
demand ho had made during the existence of the
Precursor Society, to have the people of Ireland put
on an equality with those of England. Even Lord
Morpeth rejected, on the part of the Government, his
application for leave to lay a Bill upon the table of
the House for an equality of franchise between Eng-
land and Ireland; and he then had no resource but
to seek for repeal, and to show to the world that the
people of Ireland were determined to regain their do-
mestic legislature. They accordingly held forty-one
monster meetings. He went from Dundalk to Sligo,
from Sligo to Cork, from Cork to Wexford, and
from Wexford to Droghzda, to ascertain the feel-
ing of the people on the question. At Tara they
had more than one million of human beings col-
lected, and by such means as that they asserted the
prinelvlg thAt they had a right to meet and to

an illegal sentence on him, admitted t t • -
tions were peaceable, that he had the 41
the people peaceable, and that, in fact, 1411-
mained peaceable; but still the Irish judges we 4112. i. Ay
nimously of opinion that those meetings were illegal,
though the English judges unanimously pronounced
them to be strictly legal.—(llear, hear.) After that
unanimous opinion, pronounced by the nine English
judges; there was no necessity for...them to go farther
in vindicating the principles of their right to meet.
Were it otherwise, he would be for holding the Olon•
tarff meeting at any risk. lle said "at any risk,"
because, though he knew the people would remain
peaceable, and go to the meeting unarmed, still, if
Lord Cloncurry spoke the truth in his letter, therm'
might be an attempt to procure a massacre of them by
armed soldiery. The committee had taken these mat.
tens into their consideration, and had requested him to
report the following resolution for the adoption of the
Association :
" Friday, Sept. 20, in committee, Mr. O'Connell
moved, that it is the opinion of this Committee, that
the holding of the meeting at Clontarf, in lieu of that
illegally prohibited, is not necessary for the mainte-
nance of our constitutional principle, namely, the:
right of the Queen's subjects to hold peaceable aicat.
ings in any numbers, however great, for the urposes
of petitioning the Crown and Parliament, for obtain-
ing legal redress for grievances, it ht•,,ing been recog-
nised and established by the Unanhnous opinions of
the English judges."
Seconded by Mr. W. S. O'BRIEN, and passed.
Mr. O'CoNxxr.r. then moved, that he should re-
port the resolution to the public meeting of this day.
Mr. KELLY seconded the resolution, which was
carried.

Mr. O'CONNELL (in continuation) said that the
next topic related to the assembling of the Preserva-
tive Society, and the question had been referred to the
committee, who had reported that time had not
yet arrived for it, and asked gave to sit again.
He would therefore move ',net they should have
leave to sit again to ci_rosider the subject, and that,
in addition, it should 'be an instruction to the commit-
tee to avoid introducing anything which in
the smallest way could be construed into ille-
gality.—(Loud cheers.) His two propositions there-
fore were, that further time should be given to con-
sider the nature of the Preservative Society, and that
they should avoid the least approach to any violation
of the law. Further time was necessary, because the
steps to be taken must be considered and entered
upon most deliberately. The Association, too, wanted
to satisfy every person of the necessity of such a body
which, in its general substance, would be an assem-
blage of three hundred gentlemen, possessed of 1001.
each, who might form themselves into a society and
enter into negotiations with the Ministry of the day
for repeal, and to have the checking and controlling
power over all the acts of the Association.—(Cheers.)
Though such was the gena.al plan of the society in
theory, it required the greatest caution to carry it into
practice, and every step towards its formation should
be taken with the greatest deliberation. There would
have been but little difficulty in forming it, if the law
of England and Ireland were the same. In England,
if the great mass of the people had been in favour of
any political movement, they might have held meet-
ings and conventions, and have appointed deputies and
delegates, but it was not so in Ireland, owing to the
construction put upon the Irish Convention Act; nor
could there be any approach made to anything like
representation.—(Hear, hear.) As he had been
sneered at in his legal capacity—as it had been said
that so far from being able to direct others, he was
unable to keep himself out of gaol—(Cheers and
laughter)—he thought it due to himself and others
to keep out of such danger.—(Cheers.) He thouglst,
however, after the decision of the House of Lords,
that their opinion had vindicated his legal character
and knowledge—(Loud cheering)—and had proved
that he had not misadvised himself or others.—
(Cheers.) His precaution had guarded him hitherto
from any illegality. Three or four prosecutions
which had been directed against him were failures—
(Cheers)—and it was a solemn duty which he owed
to the people of Ireland to keep them from any
violation of the law.—(Cheers.) He therefore
agreed with the committee, that it was right
to deliberate upon this subject, and that they
should have further time to consider their report
It was right that peoples' minds should ripen upon
the subject of the difference between the simple abso-
lute repeal, and the repeal with a tendency to admit
principles of federalism. There was, he was happy to
say, a great growing spirit of nationality in a large
portion of the party calling themselves Conservatives.
They were beginning to consider the question of the
restoration of the Irish Parliament.—(Cheers.) It
was therefore necessary to undeceive the public mind,
and make them understand that the Association re-
ceived federalist and repealer alike. There could be
no federalist without the repeal of the union Act, and
that federalists and repealers sought alike.—(Cheers.)
They had accordingly, after much deliberation, ad-
mitted federalists, the first of whom had been the
Roman Catholic Bishop of Clare, and he hoped to
augment their numbers.—(Hear, hear.) He was not
at all hurt that Mr. Porter had printed his unfounded
opinions of Catholicity, for he had been educated in
prejudice, some of which he had thrown aside, and
for himself he was glad that Mr. Porter had Protes-
tant prejudices, for it showed how strong his convic-
tions were when he became a federalist. Mr. Porter
had written a work on draining—he must now write a
book against it, for the country had been drained
enough.—(Cheers and laughter.) He the more
readily consented to postpone the assemblage of the
Preservative Society, in order that he might not anti-
cipate Mr. Porter, who had promised them his scheme
by next Christmas • and in the name of the Associa-
tion, and of the Irish people, he declared his readiness
to acquiesce in any plan which could leave the people
self-government—(Cheers)—and which would do
away with the drain of absenteeism. He was of
opinion that every Irish absentee should be made to bear
his portion in the expenses of the country, unless his ab.
sence was caused by ill-health.—(Cheers.) The
lion. Gentleman then at some length referred to a
passage in the letter of apology for Thursday last,
sent by Mr. Sharman Crawford, wherein that gen-
tleman expressed his regret that the repealers had
not admitted the federal principle. Now, he agreed
with Mr. Crawford in seeking for a representative
l body for Ireland, competent to manage her resources
and protect her rights. That was all he wanted.—
(Cheers.) Mr. Crawford was under a mistake, and
he (Mr. O'Connell) told him from that spot that he
agreed with him, and would embrace any plan to
carry out that object.—(Cheers.) He cared not by
what ear-mark or nickname they might distinguish it
—(Cheers)—so as it gave Ireland to the Irish.—
(Cheers.) They were ready to admit and join fede-
ralists, and to leave that an open question, and he, for
one, could not comprehend what kept Mr. Crawford
from joining them.—(Cheers.) What a delightful
moment would it be, when they found Protestant
fortune and rank, and Roman Catholic moderation,
joining them, and when they found the cry for re-
peal spread over universal Ireland. (Cheers.)
Unanimity, let them remember, was victory—division
was defeat. The Hon. Gentleman having formally
moved the resolution for the Preservative Society
committee, proceeded to say that he had but a few
more words to address to them. On Thursday he
intended to go away to his native mountains.
He had the pleasure of informing them that his
pack was in most excellent order.—(Cheers and
laughter.) Mr. M. O'Connell would attend at the
Association in the absence of himself and Mr. S.
O'Brien. The only remaining topic he had to touch
upon was the proposed „impeachment."—(Great
cheering.) They sneered at his plan in England.
It was always the case. lie had never proposed any-
thing but in England they first had laughed at him,
then abused him and it ; then they vilified the mea-
sure, and himself and its supporters, and finally he
carried it.—(Great laughter and cheering.) Now he

was his intention, if the Association approved of it,
to go through England some time before Parliament

met, and to state to the English people the ground-
work for the impeachment, and then leave them to act
for themselves. lie would put them in a position to
act for themselves, and in full possession of the facts.
Mr. S. O'Brien thought that the people of Ireland
should not stoop to solicit anything from England,
and he (Mr. O'Connell) doubted his own judgment
when he found it opposed to that man's, whom he
considered one of the greatest blessings ever bestowed
on Ireland.—(Great applause.) He would model his
plan to meet his opposition ; indeed there could be no
variance between Smith O'Brien and himself, for he
(Mr. O'Connell) would sacrifice his opinion sooner
than such should be the case, unless where some great
principle were staked.—(Cheers.) He anticipated,
therefore, the pleasure, of that visit which the people
would be prepared for by the publication of A 'work
now nearly ready, detailing all the events of the trial
in language technical, yet plain. He would thus then
test the English people, and find out whether they would
join the English Government or the Irish people. Having
enlarged, as on recent occasions, upon the necessity of
the impeachment, and on the advantage of his proposed
tour, Mr. O'Connell went on—He had been told more
than once that the Ministry would resort to some
violent means to prevent impeachment. There must
then be some consciousness about them that the Irish
Government had misconducted itself—(Cheers)—and
that it could not bear investigation.—(Cheers.) He
would not be surprised at any act of violence, and he
ventured to prophecy that some such measure would
be taken ; but whatever it might be, he told them that
it would not tire the Irish people of submission to the
law, and that, if consonnant to law, it would be
obeyed.—(Cheers.) After some further remarks, the
Hon. Gentleman porerl that the committee appointed
to Omit; the, impeachment should have leave to sit
