The folloWioeailinheseika4fis delivered
by Mr. O'Connellgnithit-sluVct, at the Sepa-
s
rate Meeting on Wednesday ee--
Mr. O'CONNELL 'said, three persons had
spoken against his resolution,
.and not one of
them had advanced a reason against it. Mr.
Browne he had listened to with all that attention
and respect to which that gentleman was entitled.
He had given.them his authority as opposed to
the mission ; but to Mr. Browne 's authority, he
opposed that of Mr. E. Macdonnell—a gen-
tleman who had formerly been opposed to a
mission, but who now declared himself of a con-
trary opinion. To him also he opposed the
authority of Lord Killeen, who, notwithstand-
ing all the special pleading used concerning his
letter, would be found to have given his opinion,
cautiously he would admit, and as one not wish-
ing to impose his high station. upon them ; • but
who, notwithstanding the caution of his opinion,
would hot act the less firmly. TO the authority
of Mr. Browne, be opposed that of - Mr. Mon-
tesquieu Bellew, who was now in England, and
who in the letter enclosing Rent, urged them
most strongly upon the mission. To the autho-
rity of Mr. Browne, he might Venture to oppose
his own, as one who had laboured not less long
and strenuously in the Catholic cause. He
never was more convinced of the utility of a mea-
sure than he was of this, and he took shame to
himself that he did not bring it . forward at the
aggregate meeting e but he was anxious at the
tune to join his family, from Whom he had been
separated for twOlhouths. To the authority of
Mr. Browne he would also oppose that of Mr.
Sheil, and he did not know a man who should
be possessed of higher authority in Catholic
affairs than Mr. Sheil. Mr. Coppinger had

were like the specimen he had shown, never in
leis life had he given a greater proof of his pru-
dence, than in keeping the remainder to himself'.
Mr. Coppinger had commenced his " rational
reasons in the Socratic manner, by asking him,
if he thought the London Press would report
fairly ? To this be answered, he was SUM the,
London reporters would report honestly, and the
proprietors would give their speeches fairly, be-
cause it was their interest to do so: Even the
Courier had given a most accurate report of
what he said; so had the paper which was said
to be a personal enemy to him. Mr. Coppinger
had alluded, in a very indistinct manner, to the
misrepresentation of some public meeting. He
presumed he had alluded to the meeting in Cork ;
but if his friend had not taken full and ample
vengence, he (Mr. Connell) was no judge of the'
length of the letter.. He now recollected, that
Mr. Coppinger himself had been accused of what
they could not accuse him, that Mr. Coppinger
was in want of a wife.—(Laughter.)
Mr. COPPINGER assured the meeting that he
had no personal feeling on the subject. (Laugh-
ter.) There was not a word about him in the
two original letters, and what he wrote was in
vindication of his friend, ' Mr. O'Connell.—
(Hear and applause.)
Mr. O'CONNELL said, that he felt bound to
state, in justice to his friend, that if he wanted
a wife, he did not know a lady in Ireland that
would not be happy to have him.—(Laughter.)
Mr. Lawless told them, he should bottle up all
his resolutions for a future occasion—that he
should keep them'for the Fourteen Days' Meet-
ing, when he should have all "good 'and true"
men to hear him. This was a bad compliment
to the present meeting. Was there not as honest
and as independent men there as could be found
in any meeting ? But if Mr. Lawless had come,
forward with his reasons, he should have opposed
him himself, and urged the same arguments which
that gentleman had formerly used for pressing
their question before the House of Commons—
the benefits of discussion. They could say foe
themselves what Protestants could not—when
they avowed their -principles they could not be
contradicted, as' he had seen their advocates in
the House of Commons contradicted by Sir
Thomas Lethbridge. He had himself stated.
the effect of one of his own speeches ;
it was boasting to be sure, but he stated
that four young gentlemen who had been
in a pleading office, and who,. before they heard
that speech, were decided enemies to Emancipa-
tion, returned from the meeting itsdecided friends.
He had also stated there was an Irish Student in

who had been its adversaries, had through his
(Mr. O'Connell's) means become its friend.—
The speech lie had made at Birmingham had
traversed the entire of England.. He would have
the opportunity of shewing that the treatment of
Ireland was injurious to England—that it was
expensive to her, and that it -cost' three millions
more than the Revenue of Ireland produced, to
have this country badly -governed. He would
shew them that their religion-was not opposed
to civil liberty—that most of the Republica
of the world were Catholic, and that the
Reformation had struck down the liberties of
most of the countries into NwsValal:thocotiiilticisetvreaifflsi,encigt e-
