TO THE REV. THOMAS MAGUIRE.

Sta,—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 your proper character—that
of a blustering coward, who shrinks from that encounter which
his own violent declamations have provoked. I leave you to
those reflections which this document is calculated to produce
iu your mind, merely adding that I du not envy those reflections.
—1 am, Ste., CYMRU.

8111,—From the terms of your proposal to the Rev. - Mr.
111‘Ghee inserted in the Evening I'ust of Saturday, it is plain
that you have no intention to meet that gentleman for discus-
-s'o" 'll the Points he has submitted. As, however, you appear
now to to think that, without any danger to your system, gnu
may venture your personal responsibility in discussion with one
who has not the qualifying letter' of the protestant archbishop
of Dublin, perhaps second thoughts may lead you to acquies-
cence in an invitation from myself.
" I beg leave, therefore, to offer myself to meet you, wherever
and whenever (within the city of Dublin) You may choose, to
discuss any or all of the full,;wing propositions, which I under•
take, in the strength of God, to establish, viz :
First.—That Popish fitt'../iibitity is a delusive lie.

PERFIDIOUS CONDUCT or THE O'CONNELL GANG.

( room the Dublin Standard.)
A communication has been made to the Editor of the Stand-
ard, to the following effect 7
That Daniel O'Connell, of Derrynane, John O'Connell, of
Grena, James O'Connell, of Lakeview,
Charles O'Connell, of
Kerry, Richard Shed, of Tipperary, Peter Purcell, of Halvers-
town, and David Lynch. of Dublin, one of the Trustees to the
O'Connell Beggary Fund, have paid their Tithes respectively to
the di:yerent Protestant Rectors entitled to receive their Tithes ! ! !
If this communication be correct, is it possible to conceive
any turpitude more infamous than the turpitude of those who,
from time to time have encouraged the poor Irish to resist the
law, end 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. Wretchtd, 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 "volun-
tary principle" or the right that every man has to pay his own
pastor.

THE O'CoNtinu.s.—Here is the fatal record; we wish we
could prove it untitie. It Insist 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 say, " I have done only what your trusty friend,
Mr. Hume, did—l voted with Hume." 'Prue; 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 Fran-
chise-nibbling clauses, and the Bishops' seats, hurried in to give
the adverse vote to the Factory Question.

RAILROAD SHARES.—In reference to that part of en article
on this subject which appeared in this paper a few days since,
which alluded to the probabiltty of shares falling into the hands
of persons unable to make good the instalments, we are informed
that the liability of the original subscribers never ceases; but
that in the event alluded to occurring, the original subscriber
to the shares in question is liable to be called upon to make good
the payments, notwithstanding hie having parted with all his
interest in them.—Herald.
