O'Connell, urging the appoi

rden. in every parish, and a crest active

try, was

ad. The object is, that none but
ididates who are not only repeaters, but members of
; association, shall be returned to parliament for any
borough or county in Ireland. As touching the town of
Galway, Mr. O'Connell thinks that Mr. V. Blake wilt do,
but he thinks differently of his colleague (Mr. M. J.
Blake), who, although a repealer, has thought proper to
disregard the mandate to appear in Conciliation Hall.

' says the agitator, " Grogan and Gregory think
fit to give evidence of being repealers, I will myself be
the first to vote fur them at the ensuing election; and
I think I may venture to promise, that in that case they
will be returned as pledged repeaters without its costing
them one shilling.. But if we shall find it necessary, as I

believe we shall,—to oppose those gentlemen in Dublin,
we shall do so or, the ground of their not being repealers,
and for no other reason whatever. I repeat this senti-
ment more distinctly and emphatically to prevent any
Whig- Liberals from deluding themselves with the hope
of being returned for any popular Irish consttuency,

.
unless they think fit to become repeaters, and to enrol
themselves members of the Repeal Association," The
principal orators of the day were Mr. John O'Connell
and Captain Broderick, both of whom vehemently de-
nounced the system of American slavery. Amongst the
contributions were .£l3 4s. from Liverpool, remitted by,
Mr. Geo Smyth, in a letter highly eulogizing Mrs. Star-
key, Messrs. J. and P. Roche, and " the Regans and the
Dukes," as very zealous and liberal repealers, and one of
£llO from Newfoundland. The week's rent was an-
nounced to be £377 Bs. 3d

MANLY " INDIGNATION.-Mr. Rose Cleland has re-
signed the Deputy- Lieutenancy of the County of Down
in consequence of the government dismissal of Mr. Wat-
son. Mr. Cleland, in his letter to the Lord-Lieutenant,

after expressing his regret t:,at his excellency should have
deemed it necessary to proceed to such an extremity with
gentleman so respected and beloved, says, "to degrade

Or ngemen took up arms in support of British connexion ;t
they were ungratefully treated. and have been basely ca-
lumniated. Though the government have forgot their
services, I have not; for although I never was an
Orangeman, they went with me to the battle of Saint-
field, in the year 1798, and by their gallantry rescued
the York Fencibles from utter destruction. I shall ever
feel grateful to them, and in case of any similar emergency
(which I fully expect,) shall still look with confidence to
their support. To avoid, therefore, being made the in-
strument of insulting men whom I esteem, I must request
your Excellency to accept my resignation of deputy-lieu-
tenant for the county of Down, which, in conjunctionwith
that of Deputy-Governor, I have held for forty-two years.
I trust that your Excellency will pardon the liberty I have
taken in making these plain statements; for it is the mis-
fortune of all governments to be misled by persons who
state what they think will please, and conceal whatever
information they think will be unpalatable. They cry
" Peace, peace, when there is no peace."

THE ORANGE MEETING AT ENNISKILLEN

On Monday evening the joy bells of Enniskillen pealed
forth to announce the eve of the great anniversary of the
battle of Anglirirn, and the band of the Enniskillen Lodge
paraded the town, playing constitutional airs. During
the latter part of the day, Tom Steele arrived and put up
at Mcßride's Hotel, but he was very unceremoniously
ejected from this and other houses of entertainment in
the loyal town of Enniskillen, and the inhabitants were
irritated beyond measure at the idea of Mr. Steele com-
ing uninvited to a place where his presence could only
engender a tee-ling of animosity among the Orangemen and
Repeaters of the place. A most respectable deputation

acted upon him, and in the most courteous manner im-
plored him, if he valued his own safety and would avoid
disturbance, to leave the place. He however remained
obdurate, and only promised to keep himself perfectly
quiet, the deput,,tion informing him that he would not be
allowed to attend the meeting. He found accommoda-
tion for:the night at a public-Louse, kept by a man named
Keeman, and on Tuesday morning entered the coffee-
