BRIDGEWATER

MR, O'CONNELL, LORD MAYOR OF DUBLIN.

The first as:affably of the new corpuratlon took place ur►
Monday lest. ht the. city AligOrtlpiptioute, Williatn.strfet,

- •
From ixn early L,ur the ;treats adjoining the Aesembly-house
were filled with crowds of persons, who evinced their gratifi-
cation throughout the day in the most uproarious manner.
Alderman Arabin ruse and said, that he proposed, with
feelings of the greatest pride arid pleasure, that that man to
whom Ireland was so much indebted, Alderman Daniel
O'Connell, should be the first Lord Mayor under the new
municipal corporation act. (Great cheering.)
Alderman George Roe seconded the nomination. He felt
much flattered in being called on to perform the duty, because
he believed there was no gentleman in that city so well
qualified to fill the situation, or so well entitled to the dis-
tinction which his fellow-citizens sought to confer on him as
Alderman Daniel O'Connell. (Hear, hear.)
Mr. Alderman Joseph Boyce said, that before voting on
this occasion, he wished to ask the honourable gentleman
what course he meant to pursue with regard to the agitation
of the repeal of the union, if elected Lord Mayor.
Alderman O'Connell said, that if he had the honour of
being elected Lord Mayor, no man should know what his
politics were. (Hear, hear.) As a private individual, he
was a repealer, being thoroughly convinced it would benefit
all classes of his fellow countrymen. (Cheers.) These opini-
ons he held as a man, and he pledged himself, if elected to
the office of Lord Mayor, that his conduct should be charac-
terised by the strictest adherence to the most delicate impar-
tiality. (Hear, hear.)
Sir Edward Borough, Bart., then rose and said, I regret
that, on the first meeting of the corporate body returned
under the municipal act which has come into operation, want
of unanimity and diversity of opinion should hare arisen;
but, as considerable apprehension exists that the town coun-
cils will be converted into normal schools of agitation, 1 feel
it to be my duty not to shrink from giving to those who are
anxious that this country should enjoy that peace and that
repose which it so much requires, an opportunity of recording.
their votes against the appointment to the office of Chief Ma-
gistrate of this city, of one whose language hitherto, as a
public man, has not been such as to justify the expectation
that his course of conduct, while in office, will be likely to
bring about results so desirable, so earnestly wished for by
the moderate of all parties. I cannot, however, but be con-
scious of the majority by which the learned alderman's elec-
tion will be carried ; yet I would venture to tell that majority
that it will not be the fault of the conservatives with whom I
act, if want of harmony, if want of concord characterise the
proceedings of our meetings. We are most anxious, most
desirous to co-operate, to go hand in hand with them in every
measure which may have for its object the reformation of
real abuses, the reduction of local taxation, or the general
welfare of the citizens by whom we have been elected. On
the other hand, I will frankly avow, that we are equally de-
termined to resist, inch by inch, to the utmost of our ability,
every attempt to overthrow the institutions, or to sever the
ties which we most value, or to convert this place of assembly
into an arena for political agitation. '
Mr. Boyce said, that the answer of Mr. O'Connell did not
satisfy him. He thought that his acts as a private individual
and as Lord Mayor could not be severed, and until he pledged
himself not to agitate the repeal question, he would vote
against him, for he believed the question to be the most mis-
chievous one which could be brought forward in a commercial
country, destructive as it must prove of the confidence which
should exist between one nation and another, and injurious
to the free circulation of capital.
Alderman Butt stated that he did not intend to ask for a
division, and the chairman announced Mr. O'Connell duly
elected as Lord Mayor.
