BiteSISWICK CLUBS.
MESTIN'O OF 'ME PROTESTANTS OF ilia
COttitT OF TYRONE.

ABRlDdint PROM THU DUBLIN EVENING MAIL.
Oa Fsiday last a most noluerous and highly respect-
able meeting of the Gentry, Clergy, and Ye•imaniy
tf
the County of Tyrone was held in the Court-house 41
Omagh, for the purpose of establishing a Brunswick
Constitutional Club for the County of Tyrone.
The inhabitants of Tyrone• have long been remark•
able for their attadment to the principles which seated
the House of Btonswick en the throne, and the an•
nouncenitnt of the formation of a Club founded for the
express purpose of maintaining the Constitution as it is,
could not tail of awakening the enthusiasm of men'so
ardently attached to the Protestant institutions of the
:conUtry. At an early hour the space before the Court-
;house was thronged with a most respectable class of
yeoman,* many of them wearing orange and bin: rib-
bons. At two o'clock the floors were opened., and .the
lush became, tremendous. In a moment act a place re-
mained unoccupied, and it was :with great difEcolty
that the Gentlemen of the county could gain admission.
We observed amongst the Magistrates, Clergy, and
Landed Proprietors present— "

Rev. Gnat Poaree—Mr Sheriff and Gent' men, a's
though I lament the nece%sity that has occasitoied our
meeting here to•day. st II I feel cosisiderable aatisfaction
at finding. in times -4 f dengei, that Protestants of every
denomin.iii in are wined, heart and hand, in supporting
the laws and the Consiitu ion of the country. There is
no concealing from ourselves the f ..c that the r...onstitu•
lion of the tounity is threatened with imminent da. ger.

to say whet el they will permit those innovatiOns tab

denounced, yet We are ni.t combined in hohtiliry towards
'any class of men ; but least ot all are we combined for the

of defence, and of maintaining those principles of VD"

"lhe Rev. Mr. Houma. rose to second the Resolu-

descanted on the increasing boldness of the Catholic

He then contrasted the conciliating policy which has
hitherto been pursued ,to ineffectively, with that course
which will at length be found to be the only honours.

image which his lean c•rij.i.red up before the eves of
the Gentlemen who made this declaration had been a
,sad !calor, he should have :curvettee pusillanimous

Among others the Reverend C. Bounty, on returning
thanks for his health having been drank, gave the fol-

Brunswick Clubs in Ireland t Yetterday l was present

spread; Connaught is toused, and the Protestants of
that great province. the most Popish, perhaps, of *the
four, have showed themselves unawed by intimidation.
Sligo, the men.of Sligo. ever loyal and use, have thrown
themselves into the ranks of the ConstitUtion.. The
Protestants of that county are united to a man. The
spirit of its Gentry may be estimated from the fact. that
a journey of two hundred and fifty miles was no ob•
s• maim to 18 of its Grand Jorors attending the first
misting of theftrooswickClub at Ireland. Tne leaven has
crept into the Catholic tour.ty of Mayo; nor is Galway
wanting; and the Brunswick Club of Ireland can reckon
within its borders some of the leading Gentry of Clete.
Of Cork I need say. nothing; in respect of property it
is perhaps the most Protestant county in Irelaad, .nd
containing an uncompromising Protestant impulsions.
'The city contains a splendid club—the first of the 'tante..
Yougbal has formed its club, and the othet towns of
the county are f4l6wing the example. • It is a curious
fact that the members of the Club of Ireland are ilhOlp
'numerous in Munster than in the province whets we
stand. We have many ul the leading Proprietors of
Limerick and Tipperary. Clubs ate formed at En its •
ctsithy. Newtownberry, and Wesf .rd. and they` cover
'die county of Wicklow. They are extended to L
ng-
fiord and the Meath:: in fact. spread over the whole
surface of the country ; and I have little doubt but in a
mouth or so we shall pissess the combined streng h of
Protestant lieland,and that the uaited voice of a menakeds
persecuted. a d deserted people will reach the Legisla•
tore and the Throne—cfremendoos cheeriue
