the "lae extraordinary speech OF DANIEL y Conneii
delivered before the Loyal Repeal Association of Dub
lin" The meeting was addressed by DR.. T.. ~ Chrsty
Il. c. Lee, W. Z. Robinson, and Francis Gallagher
Esqrs.
Mr. M. R. Mentally, the Chairman of the Execu
tive Committee, reported the following preamble AND
which were adopted with but one dissenting
voice
Whereas, there has recently appeared in The Amer
can prints an address said have been delivered by
Daniel o Connell, Esq before the National Repeal
Association Of Ireland, in reply 10 document from
the Philadelphia Anti-Slavery Society, calculated
from the character Of its remarks, 10 njure the cause
Of Repeal not only the Southern States, but among
the entire people of America, and 10 reflect d''cred
and odum upon the Irish portion OF the American
population, by unjusy subjectlng 10 suspicion theii
altachme this, the land of their adoption there
\ fore,
Resolred, That in the opinion OF the Baltimore lie
peal Association, it becomes u.s. for our own protection
for the benefit of Ireland and for The respect and honor
we owe 10 our adopted country, TO proclaim our sen
ments promptly and fearessy in relation TO the insult
that has been heaped upon America and her domestic
| institutions.
R.sotred That as much might be inclined to
screen its author from intended malice, and throw
over the indelcacy Of the the veil of haste and
euardedness of expression yet from his declared
viction of the consequences that would ensue from II
in this country, cannot avoid regarding 1t as bold
and daring insul, offered to country TO which he
owed the debt of gratitude, and not the nsoence OF
language.
/ RcsoIred, That however familiar MIR. o Cornell may
a,ier himself to be- in relation the subject of slavery
throughout land the opinion OF this Association,
neither he, the Irish people, know what the real
state Of slavery America but that the descrp OF
the condition OF the slaves this country and the dlsre
gard Of their comfort, TO Mr. Connell is false
and bellous that the of restraint the appll.
ances of comfort and the social enoymenls OF the save
here freedom, luxury and enjoyment, compared with
the condition Of the workers Of the mines and of other
operatives in Great Britain.
Resoiped That the idea which o Connell would pro.
mugate as fact in relation to the slaves OF the South,
that 'hey treated not as human BEINGS but as the
brute beast that expires and then ceases 10 hare any
" other e1iscnce insulting 10 the character OF the
American people, base caumny against the humanity
and the pure sense OF human obligation that are the
characteristics OF the Southern people.
Res0ircd That This Association has yet to learn, that
the proprietor Of slaves, who feeds and clothes, and
protects them, and when disease has struck them
down, calls in The physician and cergymen 10 attend
them, deserves no higher grade in society than the
piekpocket and The petty larceny seoundret.
Rcsoiced, That believing the doctrine OF Abolition
TO be inImca 10 the welfare and perpetuiy OF our he
publican institutions, calculated to rupture, 1t pushed 10
the extreme, happy Uuon, and dsmemoer the con
federacy, this Association laughing 10 scorn Mr. y
Conne cry Of shame and disgrace, will MAINTAIN lis
proud altitude The incorporating friend oil That
Union, and hurts back with indignant contempt the de
grading epithet Of ''iahless mscrean, rs unmeriteo
| and rash, insulting and undeserved.
Resoircd That deiestaton of the doctrines oil
Abolition is heightened by the conviction that the Aoo-
iton Society of England, presided over by Royalty,
and ghened stimulated and directed by the most
oppressive Astocracy in the world seeking, under
the pretence Of advocating freedom, TO Destroy The
only Constitution in which human rights and human
equality all recognized and secured, and TO disor
game the only Government on earth that can oher
ecual resistance TO the progress OF that Arstocracy
/ towards universal dominion.
Rtsoiued, That we have no sympathy Tor, and
will hold no communion WITH any anti-Slnvery Socle
w. European American, but that are prepared 10
defend support and sustnn with our lives and proper
~, the existing laws and Constitution of these United
States and spechcull those OF the State oil Maryland
under which we live.
RESOLVED, That we, Irishmen, now the adopted citl
zens Of America, enjoying all The rights and pr'vi
leges Of freemen-we who have found an asylum IN
this land of liberty, and protection brneath 'he nag
that Mr.. 'Conne has wantonly assaIed, have heard
with establishment his call upon US "to come out Of
such land" Let our indignant response be this =
"Amerca is the land of adoption and ihe country OF
our children; in it we have found asylum and home
which the arm of constituted power dare not invade
and the arrogance of wealth and accidental superiority
is bound to respect have found political institutions
that have recognized US as men, and thrown open 10 US
all every avenue wealth, influence and power gwen
US full participation in administering the affairs OF this
great people, and constituted each and all OF us as
guardians of rights, and independent archteces
of fortune; will never forsake II; we nave
sworn defend it, its laws institutions, and the Inte
gritty of lis union; and we will do with the last drop
Of our blood !"
ResoIced, That deplorng the necessity which has
forced upon this Of condemnation in relation 10
The leader of the Irish people, this association cannot
conceive it dimnishes in any degree the just claims
which that suffering and injured people have upon our
sympathy, but that we prepared to extend to them
the hand Friendship and while their cause continues as
just legal and constitutional il now is, and until we
convinced that the sentiments OF MIR. Conne are
those Of the entire people Of Ireland will continue as
an association, and aid them in their peaceful efforts
