FREEMAN'S JOURNAL, JAN. 28 TO FEE. 2.
In resuming our extracts from these spirited papers, we find it ut-
terly Impossible to convey to English readers Used= of the hundredth
part of tie enthusiasm by which nearly all Ireland seeks the repeal of
the Union, and the restoration of • native Parliament. Opposition
and prosecution appear to have inereamed the settemal feeling in •
ten-fold degree, and in that respect Irish grilltude is due to Messrs.
Aaglesey, Stanley. Plunket, Doherty, and Co. though it has not yet
been addressed as it ought to be to those faithful Ministers of the
Union Government. What good purpose Is gained by detaining Mr
O'Connell in Ireland, it is dillienk to hoagies, for if, as is al-
leged, he is the grand *Oster. Ms absence would of all things be de.
*able ! But the troth is, that the real agitator is distress, and of this
primary cause Mr. O'Connell le merely the agent, and if he were mur•
dered to-morrow a hundred O'Connell' would rise in succession. If
the Union is the came of the dhtress, and of this fact there can be as
reasonable doubt, then there is but one course—simple, clear, states.

a measure that has been most disastrous to this country, reducing the
people from a state of happiness and comfort to their present state
wretchedness and misery. That we pledge ourselves to persevere Gem-
ly and temperately by all constitutional means to attain the
of our country's regenetatlon—namely, a repeal of the
Union; and we further pledge ourselves that henceforward we will not
support or vote for any candidate for the representation of this coup
who will not pledge himself in the most solemn manner to support
advocate the great question of repeal of the Legislative Union, and alm
to aid and assist Daniel O'Connell, M. P. in effecting the same.
At a numerous and highly respectable meeting of the parish of St.
George, John Moran, Req. is the chair, the following resolutions were
unanimously ad4ted:—That we declare our unaltered and waiters.

Fourth, and that we yield to no portion of his Majesty's subjects of

means in our power, to maintain the connection between Great Bd.
tame and Ireland ; and if we had any just cause to anticipate or expect
that a repeal of the Legislative Under could tend to effect a upend=
between the two countries, we would strongly deprecate any discus:

that the bemfits which the friends of the Union urged and relied apes
as the principal grounds and necessity of its enactment, have not =-

instead of enjoying such benefits, her present miserable and wretched
commercial, agricultural, and manufacturing distress, afford a melan-
choly and practical demonstration of the baneful effects of that mea-
sure, and of its direct tendency to precipitate that separation which we
deprecate, and would ever deplore. That from the period of the
renunciation of Great Britain to 1782, to legislate for Inlaid, down:
to the time of the Uniop in 1800, the commerce and of this
kingdom rapidly and progressively =creased ; but that s the Do.
rood of the Union (which was carried by fraud and bloodshed) its
commerce and prosperity of Ireland progressively decreased, haseessah
that the greater part of the people of this country are now the meet
miserable and impoverished of any other people on the face of the
globe, and that such misery and poverty are solely attributable to that
nefarious and baneful measure, the Union.
