IRELAND.
REPEAL ASSOCIATION.

ZDuunrie, Nov. 18.—The weekly meeting of the
Association was held this day in the Conciliation Hall,
Edward Clements, Esq., barrister, in the chair.
Mr. Maumee O'CONNELL introduced to the meet-
ing Mr. Ringrose, of London, who handed in 101. 13s.
from the Maze Ward, and 51. 2s. from the St. Patrick
Ward, and then addressed the meeting. He bore
ample testimony to the great ardour and untiring zeal
of the repealers of London, and declared that they
would never relax in their exertions till the object for
which they were contending should be achieved.
Mr. M. O'CONNELL moved a vote of thanks to the
subscribers, and highly eulogised the spirit and in-
domitable love of country by which their friends in
London were actuated. During the last year they
had remitted 1,9001. to the Association, and he ex-
pe3ted that at the termination of the present year it
would be much more. He regretted to say that lat-
t. rly a spirit of insubordination had manifested itself
in several quarters of London, and he had the disa-
greeable duty of moving the expulsion of an indivi-
dual who had acted in such a manner as to render it
impossible fur them to continue his name any longer
on the books of the Association. They were bour d
I...res-tr.ve the waits_ of the movement, and therefore
he was under the necessity of moving that the -.lame
of Mr. Humphrey should be struck off the list of
repeal-wardens.
The resolution was then put and carried.
Mr. M. O'CorisiEnr. then said he bad now a more
pleasing task to perform. It was that- of submitting
to the meeting a letter from the Liberator. The Hon.
Gentleman then read the following letter :
" Hillgrove, Nov. 16, 1844.
"My dear Ray—l have just received the Evening
Freeman of the 14th, containing Mr. Sharman Crawford's
third letter. I, of course, submit it to the consideration
of the Association ; but I cannot allow one post to elapse
without expressing my deep regret that it does not, in
my humble judgment, contain one single principle or
matter of detail which ought or could be adopted by the
Irish people in their noble struggles for the restoration
of Irish nationality. •
" I may be greatly mistaken ; but, as far as I can
form a hasty opinion, Mr. Crawford's plan seems to me
to be an elaborate scheme to make matters worse than
they are at present, and to reduce Ireland from a nomi-
nal equality with England to a real and vexatious pro-
vincial degradation.
" But there is one thing quite certain, and that is, that
Mr. Crawford should be treated with the utmost courtesy
an 1 respect ; nothing personal, nothing offensive should
be said to him or of him ; his plan should be discussed
in language of perfect politeness and unmixed civility ;
he should be argued with—reasons should be given for
the condemnation of his scheme of legislation—no cry
should be raised—no nickname as Federalist' should be
given—that name itself should be treated with becoming
regard ; and if the Association agree with me in the re-
jection of his federalism, let us do it in a mode which
can inflict no pain, or create irritation ; above all, let us
do nothing which could discourage others from following
the manly example he has given of laying his plan boldly
and in detail before the Irish public.
"I now beg leave to give notice that I will, on More
day, the 25th, move the appointment of a select commit-
tee to examine and report upon Mr. Crawford's project
of federalism, together with such observations in reply
as may appear requisite or suitable.
"It it be observed that Mr. Crawford has, as usual
him, gone out of his way to make an attack upon
me, I heartily forgive him. I bear his blow cheerfully.
I will not quarrel on my own awount with any person
or paper until a real Irish Parliament is assembled in
College-green. At me who pleases. I will apply all my
attention to the sacred cause of Irish liberty—none to
.he individual.
" It is a noble cause that in which we are engaged—
.he restoration of legislative independence—the produc-
on of prosperity in our beloved fatherland—
" Hurrah, then, for repeal !
" Believe me to be yours faithfully,
" DANIEL O'CONNELL.

" To M. Ray, Esq."
Captain BRODERICK having handed in several re-
mittances, remarked that it was gratifying to observe
the zeal which Irishmen, in all parts of the world,
were exhibiting in behalf of their suffering country.
Mr. M. O'CoNNELL having moved the admission
of Captain James Roach as a member, handed in 401.,
the second remittance for the present year of the
repeaters of Sidney.— (Loud cheers.) The remit-
tance was accompanied by the following address to
Mr. O'Connell :
" TO DANIEL O'CONNELL, ESQ., M.P.
" Most venerated Sir,—The Australian Loyal Repeal
Association beg leave to transmit to you herewith their
second quarterly subscription to the funds of the Loyal
National Repeal Association of Ireland.
" The smallness of the amount from a country with
150,000 inhabitants, and of whom one-third are Irish-
men and Australians of Irish parentage, is owing to
peculiar local causes, of which the principal are the dis-
persedness of the population, and prevalent distress
amongst all classes of our community.
" We know, however, that from us at the antipodes.
whose object is to record our heartfelt sense of the jus-
tice of Ireland's demand for a domestic legislature, anti
our humble approbation of the peaceful manner in which
you, Sir, backed by the nation, have condescended to
make that demand, our mite will be acceptable—our
hearts may be trusted.
" We send this remittance, having received inteili-

genee of the result of the state trials, and your rccep
tion, thereafter, in all England ; but we address you in
freedom or in confinement the same. The possibility of
the latter afflicts our souls to contemplate—martyrs are
more revered than other saints, so would your suffering
in the cause of philanthropic patriotism create for you a
fceling in the hearts of mankind your uninterrupted
success could never have commanded—to your country-
men all is ono—in what land soever they or their de-
scendants may dwell. Of O'Connell,
The meanest rill, the mightiest river,
with his fame for ever.'
Thelmloelnisomf mingling
Ireland cannot be refused their just and
cot}stitritional demands. History affords no example for
the passing occurrences between a free people and their
Oovcrnmeut—a Government whose members may lip a to
