criminal and mschieyoas.

the peace, to violate the law, or to be
guilty of any tumult or disturbance. =
The slightest crime against order or the
public peace may ruin our beautiful and
otherwise triumphant cause.
If you will during this crisis, follow
my advice. and act as | entreat you to
do, patiently, quietly, and legally,
think can pledge myself to you tina. the
period is not far distant when our re-
vered sovereign will open the Irish Par
lament in College Green.
Every attempt Of our enemies to dis
turb the progress of our repeal hitherto
has had a direct contrary effect. This
attempt will also fail, unless it be assls-
ted by any misconduct on the part OF the
people.
Be tranquil then, and we shall be trl-
umphant.
/ have the honor to be, your ever
faithful servant,
DAN'L o'CoNNELL.
