r-rhe Repeal Of the Union between Eng

~ The Repeal Of the Union between Eng
land and Ireland is every where exciting .
great deal Of interest. The friends Of Ireland
il the United States, have long manifested .
desire to relieve The oppressed spirits Of that
III fated country, and contributed literally to
the support Of the cause. but now. when the
excitement is high. and the crown trembling
with. fear ofsn outbreak IA Ireland, the ardor
Of many friends il cooled BY the impruden'
nnwarran,ed expressions Of hostility to Amer
lean Slavery, made by Mr.. O'Connell, the
Champion Of Repeal in Ireland, made in the
Corn Exchange in Dublin. In his remarks
on that occasion he thus speaks Of America
and Americans:
"America, the black spot Of slavery rests
upon your star-spangled banner. and no matter
VIVA, glory you may acquire beneath It, the
hideous, da,nnlng stain Of slavery remains up
on you, and just Providence will sooner or
later avenge itself for your crime. Sir, have
spoken the sentiments Of the Repeal Associa-
:ion.-There is not man amongst the hum
dreds Of thousands that belong TO our body, or
amongst the millions that will belong 10 Il,
who does not concur in what have said. We
may not get money from America, after this
declaration, bot even il we should not, we do
not want blood stained money.
~ n
"Shame upon every man in America who
is not an Anti-Slavery man: shame and dis
grace upon them. don't care for the conse-
Quences, but will not restrain my honest in-
digna.ion Of feeling, when pronounce every
man faithless miscreant, who does not take
part for the abolition Of slavery. 1t may be
said that offence will be taken at these words:
come what may from them, they are my words.
The question never came regularly befure us
until now. We had it introduced collateral
~, we had it mentioned by persons who were
friends Of ours, and who were endeavoring to
maintain good relations between us aud the
Shareholders. We might have shrunk from
the question by referring the document TO a
committee. but would consider such a coarse
unworthy Of me, enjoying as do the conf
dence Of the virtuous. the religious aud the hu
name people Of Ireland. &c.,
In several cities in the United States where
Repeal Associations have heen formed, resolu.
tons have passed. supported by addresses from
adopted Irish citizens, the admirers Of Mr.. o.
Connell, in strong condemnatory language Of
his attempted interference with the slavery
question. His denunciations Of America and
Americans. are every where attributed to his
want Of knowledge Of slavery as it exists in
America. But this will not excuse Mr.. o.
Conaell for his harsh language--it is inexcu-
sable-a man should not thus speak Of his fell
low-men, his friends, without knowing the
truth Of what he says. None Of US should,
however, feel less lively interest ia behalf
of Ireland, because Of O'Connell's bitter de-
nunciasion of US. The cause is no, his alone
lit is the cause Of Ireland.

wholesome restrictions thrown around

session suppose they do agree to hold on

aad more to their liking; will the people
be deceived by such tricks! Will they

bidding! We think not. II is high time
the influence Of bank swindIers over the

SANDWICH IsLANps.-From the following
from the London Times, the ministerial organ,
and the remarks Of Sir Robert Peel, in the
House Of Commons, it will be seen that the
Sandwich Islands are to be restored 10 the
rehtful Sovereign.
!" II appears that certain claims having been
preferred against the Government, of the Sand.
witch Islands in behalf Of British subjects. and
by the British Admiral, the Sovereign of those
Islands Processes his inability to meet the de-
mands in question, but offered to divest him.
self Of the sovereignty Of his domnions in ia
vor Of the Queen of England. The British
Admiral, emulous perhaps Of the recent policy
Of France 10 the groupes Of islands south Of
the Line, accepted the cession Of these terrific
ries condi.ionally; but he acknowledged at the
same time. that he was actng without instruc-
tions, and the arrangement was TO be regarded
as provisional, until it should he ratified and
approved by her Majes,y's Government.
"Fhe view which has been taken Of this
treaty Of cession in this country, is not favora-
BILE to its confirmation. Although no blame
can be laid on Admiral Poulett for his share
in the transaction. we understand that the
Sandwich Islands are not to be annexed 10 the
dominions Of the British Crown. but are to be
restored to the independent authority Of the
native Sovereign"
In the house Of Commons, Of the 3O,h Of
May, Mr.. Peel, in reply 10 question asked
by member, said there was no truth in the
REPORT that the Sapdwhch Islands had been
coded 10 Great Britain. This is strong proof
THAT the doings Of the British naval captain
were not authorised by the government.

Mr. ST. Vrain. of the firm Of Bent & ST.
Vrain, arrived in this city on Wednesday.
When Mr.. 81. Vraln reached the Arkan-
sas, he there found >nively and $50 Tex
ians. waiting the coming of the Santa Fe
traders, whom they intended TO rob. he
Texans were well aimed, and determined
10 accomplish their object if possible.
The Santa Fe traders were subsequently,
met by Mr.. ST. Vrain under the escort Of
U. s. Dragons, about six days travel on
this side OF the Arkansas. They were ap
prised of the position Of Snively and his
companions.
The Era of last evening says
In this state Of things. Capt. Cook. at
the pressing solicitation of the Traders,
had determined to change his route, and
proceed up the Arkansas, that river be-
ing the boundary iine-and give them pro-
lection as far as Bent's fort, which is a.
bout three hundred milss from Santa Fe.
Meanwhile an express was TO be despatch
ed to the Go, ernor. informing him Of this
proceeding. and Captain Cook had agreed
to remain fifteen days at the For. for the
expected escort. Should il not be sent, i,
is probable that the Mexican portion of The
expedition will return with him, as they
would not expose themselves to robbery
either in Benl's Fort or by proceeding on
their journey. This being The deter.nin-
alton, the patriotic ireeboo,ers may. after
all, miss their spells. II becomes mats
ter for the serious consideration Of our
Government, whether it will permit such
distractions to be thrown in the way OF
an important portion of our trade, by a
Sc. of men holding commissions under the
rexian Government, il is true, but whose
sole object IS plumber.
We learn that Col. Warfielt was with
Colonel Snively. lie, with some twenty
outcasls from the Forts and Traders Of the
mountains. had signalized himself by a
show of an expedition agains. frontier
town of New Mexico. called the Moro.
Before getting to it. however, he met a
band of Buffalo hunters. with whom he
had fight, killed some of their men. and
robbed them OF their horses. &C., and
made off. A large band Of the hunters
collected. pursued him. re. captured their
properly and took his horses. lie and
his men then wandered about for some
tine, and. Mr. ST. Vrain picked him up
in a destitute conditions, on the Arkansas.
and in his company he reached Col. Sni>

Company's labors are valuable. and are on

travel slowly. and these gentlemen left

All was quiet at Santa Fe, when ac-
