To THE PEOPLE OF IRELAND:
Beloved Fellow Counfrymen--I an.

of conspiracy and other mlsdemeanors on
the first day Of next term. | maze this
announcement in order to c~onlure the
people. one and all, to observe the strict
est and most perfect tranquility. Any ut.
tempt to disturb the public peace may be
most disastrous--eertainly, would be Grim
inaf and mischieyenus.
Attend, then, beloved eountrvmen, to
me.-Be not tempted by any body TO
break the peace, to violnte the law, OF to
be guilty of any tumnIt 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 rs | enrreat you to do,
patiently, quietly and legally, think
can pledge myself TO you, that the period
is not far distant when our revered SOW
ereign will open the Irish Parliament in
College Green.
Every attempt of our enemies to dis
turb the progress Of Repeal hitherto has
had a direct contrary effect. This at.
tempt will also fail, if it be not assisted
by any misconduct on the part Of the PEG.
pie.
BE tranquil. then, and we shall be tr,-
umphant. | have the honor to be,
Your ever faithful servant,

In the meetings Of the Repeal Associa.
ton there is as much spirit and enthusiasm
exhibited ms ever. Al one of them, Mr..
O'ConeelI moved the following resolution,
which was enthusiastically carried:
That whilst WI repeat 10 the people OF
Ireland our conviction that "whoever com.
mits a crime gives strength to the enemy"
and while we pledge them and ourselves
to a perfect obedience to the law, we at
the same time avow before The inhabi-
tants of the British empire, and before the
inhabitants of the civilized world, that we
never will desist from the legal and consii.
t%utional pursuit Of the Repeal of the Un-
ion, until an Irish Parliament Is in Col.
lege Green again.
TAIL TIMBER.-A correspondent of the
Felic,ana Wing, in making some remarks
about the Police Jury, Lice.um, &C., of
that parish, has sure enough, gotten into
