that immense meeting almost to assemble, without
intimating their bloody intent. Fhey reckoned
on O. Connel at the head Of his hundreds OF thou
sands, going to the ground agrceably to the forms
ofthe constitution. They believed he would give
them chance to effect their murderous design
they knew their act was illegal-they well knew.
thai the proclamation of Lord Lieutenant, unsus-
tained by an act Of Parliament, was no better than
la playbill but they calculated upon the show and
forms of resistance from the managers of the NEE

the people, as they did at Newtosynbarry. Castle

emergency; and he was forHnatel y on the spat to
protect the people from their sanguinaryfoes His
wisdom and forethought enabled him to discern
the objects of the Orange prfvy ceuacil, and with

'82; They venture to question the right of o Con-
NELL with eight millions of people at his back, to
pass resolution similar in import and language
to that passed by Grattan, withenly three millions
and halfsustoining him.
That celebrated Resolution. oukreaders remem-

acknowledge no other authority to make laws 10
bind them than the King, Lords and Commons
of Ireland" That sublime declaration of Nat
ional Independence carried by the delegates

non, on the 18th February, l752 That Rasolu-
tion was moved in the Irish Parliament few
months subsequently by Henry Grattan. That
resolution was assented to by the Commons and
Lords of Ireland, and also by King George the
Third, and the Parliament of Eng land.
The Kings assent was esnbodyed in an act of I

Now, then baseand brutal Orangemen of Ire

he Irish people, There is that august compact
which was soLeamly entered into between two ma
IONS through their respective parliaments. There
IS the 'unon"-the federative union-tbe only |
lnion which Ireland will ever consent to- have
with England.
That Constitution goes behind the butchery of
90, and the bribery of Lord Castlereagh 1t isu
