TO THE REV. THOMAS MAGUIRE.

Stn,—Allow me to recal your attention to the following
challenge, which emanated from a respectable Baptist minister
in Dublin, and to which. as yet, you have deigned no reply. I
trust it may serve to exhibit you in you: proper character—that
of a blustering coward, who shrinks from that encounter which
his own violent dee
lanaatilins have provoked. • I leave you to
those reflections which this document is calculated to produce
in your tri'n (17 merely adding that I do not envy those reflections.

PERFIDIOUS CONDUCT OF THE O'CONNELL GANG.

(From Ike Dublin Standard.)

. ,
A communication has been made to the Editor of the Stand-
ard. to the followmir effect •
That Daniel O'Connell, of Derrynane, John O'Connell, of
Grena, James O'Connell, of Lakeview, Charles O'Connell, of
Kerry; Richard Shell, of Tipperary, Peter Purcell, of Halvers-
town, and David Lynch. of Dublin, one of the Trustees to the
O'Connell Beggary Fund, hare paid theis• Tithes respectirely to
thy, different Protestant Rectors entitled to receive their Tithes! ! !
If this communication be coirect, is it possible to conceive
any turpitude more infamous than the turpitude of those who,
from lime to time have encouraged the poor Irish to resist the
law, and run the risk of either being unhoused and sent on the
world begging with their wives and children, by attorneys and
lawyers, or shot by the police or soldiers in the execution of
their duty. Wretched, wretched people, tempted by the basest
of your kind to risk your all in the pursuit of an imaginary good,
while those tempters will not so much as risk the loss of one
hair of their heads, in vindication of what they call the " voluo—
tary principle" or the right that every man lias to pay his own
pastor.
(Front the Constitutional—Radical Paper.) •

Tim O'CoNNKIA.s.—Here is the fatal record; we wish we
could prove it untrue. It must he wished, at least by every
Reformer, English, Scotch, and Irish, that Mr. O'Connell
would explain the grounds on which he gave it. It would be in
vain for him to sav, " I have done only
what pan- trusty friend,
Mr. Hume, did—l voted with Hume."'
Vie; but Mr. Hume'
violated no pledge—he broke no solemn engagement. Did Mr.
O'Connell ? If so, why ? The votes of the O'Connells turned
the scale; and the point appears to have been thought very
pressing; for Mr. Morgan O'Connell, who had been absent
from three successive divisions. on the Pension List, the Frau-
chise-nibbling clauses, and the Bishops' seats, hurried in to give
the adverse vote to the Factory Question.

It A It.no,i n SH A nts --In reference to that part of an article
