the establishment of the legislative independence of Ire-
land,
and, as a means for the attainment of these ends,
to encourage Irish manufactures, art, and literature, and
to diffuse through society a national fealing.'
The Nation says, on this subject, " It may seem a
little thing that one or two hundred gentlemen have
bjoined in a club to dine together a few times in the year;
ut when we say that these are the chosen men of the
national party, proved by their unmistaken charter toast
—‘ Legislative Independence'—tested by a strict ballot,
and found possessed of honour, education, and patriotism
—when we say that their festive days will be the anni-
versaries of such events as the Dungannon meeting
and the Declaration of 1782—that they are to assemble
in uniform, with the ceremony of men conscious of
their position—when we add that their influence will be
used to make theatre and ball-room, concert, and lec-
ture, and library, minister to the cause of Ireland—then
this dinner club grows into a social league of political
chieftains, to exhibit and increase the passions and
powers of its members—to occupy every avenue of the
public mind with the sentiments of freedom, and enlist
the taste and the honour of the country in the cause of
nationality. This, then, is a new citadel, garrisoned fur
Ireland. It was a project during that period of seem-
ing rest. It is now established and complete—its laws
made (few and to the purpose)—its committee chosen
(thoughtful, honourable men), and its influence already
cheering and uniting us.
" We need not detail its arrangements—enough—
O'Connell is its President, Smith O'Brien, Lord Ffrench,
Cornelius M'Loughlin, Henry Grattan, and Edmond
Roche, its Vice-Presidents, and on its committee are
the chiefs of our municipalities, the heads of the popu-
lar press, the best of the repeal bar and the repeal mem-
bers—the rank and the intellect of the party."
