rhe cause orIreland.

icm to Ireland, with the concurrence Of their
,rethren in other Cities, for Simultaneous Meet
ngs IN every Town and City Of those who sym:
,athise with the People OF Ireland in their earnest
md resoIute but patient and peaceful struggle for
ne restoration of their Domestic Legislature, OF
which they were deprived by the basest !Feachery
md the grossest corruption and fraud. We trust
ne suggestion will be very generally responded to.
md that these Meetings viii be SO conducted as
really TO increase the number of those who Know
or what Ireland is struggling, by what means she
proposes TO attain it, and therefore extend to her
'eop!c the assurance Of generous and lively
ylnpsthy with their efforts and their sufierings.
50 far we have Observed this matter of diff.
using information has been too much overlooked
It Repeal Meetings. Strangers are continually
.ropping in to learn what this Repeal means, but,
instead of the information they seek, they often
lcar some fervid mot to say frolhy) orator re-
ountng the National sins Of England and de-
bouncing vengeance against her, predicting her
downfall or boasting how the Irish and their
ricnds will fog her when they set about it, and
sounding a jubilee over the speedy and certain
triumph of Repeal. In all this there may be a
greal deal calculated to elicit cheers from ardent
Repeaers, but there is very little to satisfy the
calm and scrutnzing inquirer, and very probably
pe goes away alienatcd if not dsgustcd when he
ought to have been convinced and secured to the
Cause Will not the friends of Repeal think of
hesc things VIII they not consider that, while
III the natives of Ireland present may perfectly
understand the matter, there arc not halt the
american People who, at this day, know what
Repeal proposes, or what means it contemplates?
surely, the more interested and impassioned
would gladly listen to some calm arguments and
array OF facts addressed to those who yet to be
Won Not display, not excitement, IS the object
OF these Meetings.
Another word O'Connell and other eminent
| champions of Repeal are soon to stand Their trial
for conspiracy TO subvert by violence the Govern
!nent and Laws Of the Realm. Their conviction
would be blow to the Cause, especially II iol-
lowed by what would be called an act Of clemel-
cv toward them; their acquitta will be mighty
triumph, with far-reachlng consequences. Every
friend Of the Cause must feel deep socltude
for the issue Of these trials. But III their pendcn-
cy, while every irritating, exciting word IS care
fully avoided by Repealers in Ireland, the express
sions of Repea!ers at public meetings here VIII
be caught up and used by the Tory advocates IN
Britain and Ireland Us euidences Of the csplritan
purposes Of O'ConneU and his compatr'ots.-
/ They vii! say, The Repealers here talk mildly
because the rope is round their necks, but look
to America, where they are beyond the reach OF
danger, and you will see what they really mean
Such arguments will be brought to bear on public
seltimelt, and even on the State Trials. let
every friend of Ireland, then, who does not WISH
to see her Tree Of Liberty watered with the b!ood
of her noblest sons, measure carefully the words
he uses in these Simultaneous Repeal Meetings.
BY the way a correspondent lately wrote
us to inquire why money is collected in aid OF
the cause of Repeal We suppose it is collected
because it IS needed, to diause information, or
ganze effort, and sustain e1crtion, the same IS
N any other Political OF Philanthropic under
taking. If the Bible cannet be distributed or the
Gospel preached without the use OF money, we
cannot see any thing strange IN It's use IN the
Repeal cause. More specific information may
doubtless be obtained of the officers of the Repeal
Associations in this City and elsewhere.
CITY TAxEs.--1t may be well 70 remind such
Of our readers as are taxpayers, that this is the
last week for them to obtain deduction from
their taxes by payment to General klcrstcd,
the Receiver, at his office in the Old Almshouse
in the rear of the City Hall.
