LORD WEsTMEATH AND Mr.. o'CONNELL.
From tie Dublin Evening Maii)
TO THE ELECTORAL BODY OF THE CITY OF DUBLIN
Clonyn, Castletowndelrin, .Aug. IL.
MANY OF you will have seen the covert personal attack
which was made upon me in the House Of Commons on
Monday last by Of the sitting members for your CITY
Mr. Daniel OConnell The Pariame ntary report in the
newspapers contains it. If show you, and think car
do short space, that be has used his privilege of
seat for the city, in this instance where no public END
to be answered. os the purpose of making wanor
and unmanly attack upon conceive he has by this
act, if he had BY nothing else dsenttled himself 10 ex
pect the support of any of common honesty or in.
Decd endued with the ordinary feelings Of humanity; but
the outrage aggravated by assumed preext OF
jealousy for the public money, which makes the more
detestable shall first observe that it appears bis
did not procure the support of any members English,
Scotch. Irish. The motion made 10 postpone the
third reading Of the Pensions bill TO Tuesday that the
the Marchoness of Westmeaths pension in allowance nm
til my death. He, coiessedly the most expert LAWYER
Of the day, demanded in FORM twenty -four hours d.ay
to prepare clause, which the most iDexperenced Nj
p could have composed the moment-fve short lines
would have suttced.
But though he had time to turn in his mind the mate
rals to blacken me in we.consdered speech and to
make references, he would have the house to believe Il
not to make the speech he had risen so much ., to
obtain twenty -four hours posponement to do that which
even schoolboy could perform in five minutes. Well
even
if prepared and proposed; and he Just as well aware
that the Chancellor Of the Exchequer would not stop the
progress Of the Pensions bill tor such purpose The
debate shows IT, But farther, the proposition that Mr.
OConnell had sketched to abate the pension during
my life and that it should he revived if Lady
shonld survive Now, il it had been wish 10 effect
saving Of the public money that actuated him. Mr. o.
Conne (having had knowledge of the existence of this
pension since the papers first printed in the
early part of the SESSION. has several months to ascer
tain the public grounds on which he should have
in the matter Ihe slightest disposition TO inquire would
have enabled him to know that in the event of INV death
Lady Wcstmea'h has jointure of 10000 wear IrisI
currency secured to her. and it is upon such contin
gancy that he proposes pension should revive which
she is in comparative poverty, it to be taken from
her and Gin the interest of the publc) to be given bacL
in event when she could not possibly want it. The
hypocrtf and he could not be Ignorant of the fact OF the
existence oi that olnue for my title has been before
him with statement Of membranes, and it is moi II
human nature that. meditang such speech the fact.
should not have recnrred TO his vi gorous memory But
finally, after having emitted his venom, he Withdrew hi.
motion. However, tins is not the worst or ali men
existing, Mr. O'Conne is the very last who should ha ave
made such personal attack upon me, as you will pre
sently see 1t IS true have with perseverance, to the
utmost Of my power exposed Parliament the pernicone
effects society of this bad mans influence upon tbe
government Of the country. In his tour of mischief

ton and in such terms who had been born and
bred gentleman conld have stopped to use hav. bad
therefore, the right and the leisure anase the vow in
Heaven from which the foul mouthd hypocri,e obtains
his IMMUNITY; aud ask yon, fellow countrvmen uhatev

possible that man can have registered vow wi,h t,e
God OF peace, Of justice. and OF mercy who knows NO
