Mr.. O'Connel continues his triumphant
course of agitation in the sister kingdom. in
which he is powerfully assisted by the priests.
The rent comes pouring in sy thousands
weekly. and be is almost daily engaged in ad-
dressing hundreds of thousands of his country
men in various parts Of the kingdom. Bot the
movement---owing, probably, TO the people on
The English side of the Irish ChanHe becom-
ling more familiar with ii---excited less atten-
ton. or, rather, less alarm and it forms less
pamiDent topic than hitherto in the journals.
Mr.. O'Connel had demonstration at En-
mis-, for the county Of Glare. on Thursday. the
18th ult., and the meeting is described as more
numerous than any that preceded it-.ihe num-
bers are stated at seven hundred thousand.
The meeting was held on the race ground,
and Mr. O'Connell assembled The platform. ae.
com panied by Mr.. Tom Steele, Mr.. Charles
O'Connsll, "Councillor" O'Leary and three
French gentlemen. On the motion of Mr.. Fl.
Bridgeman, NJ. p. and Justice of the Peace.
the chair was taken by Mr.. Cornelius 0'BTien,
M. p. and Justice Of the Peace. Mr.. O'Con-
nell's speech did not materially differ from
the general run of those which he has lately
delivered; but he announced new stage in his
agitation, and gave an important eSPldna-
tion..
"He would tell them that the rRe0ent he
had three millions of Repeaers, he would &c
Gin another career, and he might as we'll then
announce that the principal mpediment which
existed against Emancipation did no, at all
exist as regarded Repeal Of the Union. II
was necessary for an English Parliament to
pass law granting Emancipation; but in the
case of Repeal it was not necessary. The
House Of Lords at first threw i. out; but the
people gave q lille chirp, and it was soon al
lowed TO pass without any very strenuous OPP
position. The Queens Prerogative could re-
vive the Irish ParliamentC ).--as James The
First did when be created Al borcughs in Ire
land. giving suifrages 10 twelve ProtesianIs;
and Ennis was one Of the bad bargains. The
The time had arrived for her Majesty to order
new wits for the Irish Parliament; and he ass
things, when he told them distinctly and EN-
phaiically, that by the aid of the Queens
name, and without any appeal TO Parliament,
they could obtain a repeal Of the Union. ---Let
Engishmen have England; let Scoichmen
have Scotland; let Frenchmen have France,
and it was beautiful coontry; lie, Dutchmen
have Holland, with its bikes and bitches; but
the Irishmen should have Ireland"
