But tie address of MIR 0'Conneli, is the
most important. He was received with three
times three--and it is stated IN the account,
that full ter minutes elapsed before he was able
TO commence his speesh. After some preIinli-
nary remarks, he stated that li8 was struggling
| for greater and more powerluE end than Ca

served that he had four distinct propositions TO
submit to the mleting, and proceeded
''The frstis. that Ireland is entitled TO have
a parliament of her own (hear.) The second,
that the suspension of the parliament Of Ire
land at the Union has done her uo}good. The
third, that it has done her great harm. The
fourth is, that she has right to'haye it re-

reason that ireland should not have patlia-

Ireland? (hear, hear, and cheers. There was
constant parliament in Ireland for 500 years;
and there never was in instance of that parlia-
ment acting unfettered, that it did not do vast
benefit for Ireland (heaT, hear, and great cheer
ing.) When the Irish were admitted to that
parliament, their LOYALTY was manifested in the
most ENTHUSIASTIC degree; and there never was
an instance of that parliament acting indepen-
dent & uncontrolled, that it did not showerdowu
blessings upon blessing on the country, and
there never was an Instance in which tyranny

He stated that the Repeal Of the Union, would
keep ZIG, 000,G6 of Absentee Rents at home

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Wales had but 500, 900
inhabitants, and had Representatives, Galway,
alone, had 100000 Inhabitants, and only four
members, while on the principle pursued with
regard TO Wales, she ought to have IA. He said
he wanted the Tithes TO pay the Poor Rates and
the Grand Jury cess-but instead of such liberal
ty, England would rather send them 100000
bayonels.-He alluded to Father Mathew, and
stated that when he last saw him, he had 1900, :
600 members in his Temperance Society, and the
number was still increasing. He concluded:
stIt is not alone that Ireland exhibits more f.
deity and more Christianity than any other
country, but she is also transcendently eminent
for her morality and her temperance. The peor
pie have abandoned all the luxury Of the poorer
classes, and with its baneful influence has depar-
ted every excitement to crime, every instignation
to immortality They temperate as
they are faithful and moral as they are sincere
The publican has been left idle, whilst the c1er-
gymen are more employed than ever they were
Ireland has become reformed. and as her sons
were never found to go back in dread from the
field OF danger, before any foe on the face of the
| earth--so the morality OF her people has now
raised itself over that of any other people that
ever lived, and temperate heland has become
too good to continue in slavery (sreat cheering.)
Yes. my friends, we will combine together ioi
the Repeal. We have formed Repeal Associ
alton in Dublin, and want you to enrol your.
selves as Repealers at the rate of Is. each (cre.
of GIVE will.") Every man, woman, and child
in the kingdom should join us.-The womer

in fact, il was only the other day, that we hat
thirty young ladies sending in their subscription
in body. Those who collect twenty shilling
become members, and where two hundred persons
are found to give shilling each, weekly news

be regularly sent to them.
