association m"evs tonight at Washington Hall, to
take int Consideration the arrest of Daniel O'Con-
ns'i, and 'he present condition OF the Repeal ques'
non IN E'irope and America. This Will be an IN
poI'an' citing. is the first OF the kind that has
oeea iIsid IN this country since The news arrived II
Is to ne held in New York, where it will give tone
AID temper 10 Others OF the same kind, which will
follow throughout the Union
Grave and weighty questions will be presented
his evening for consideration According to the
accounts from England, the progress of Repeal has
not snly bren checked, but suppressed, and Daniel
OConne, the great leader and master spirit of the
movement, has amely submitted 10 the suppression.
There is no doubt that he was anxousy expecting
and waiting for his arrest, as God.s send 10 help
HIM out OF the most uncomfortable dilemma in
which he found himself placed The time had
come tor counter movement he had run out his
rope-he could go go further without coming in d.
rect COZ fict with the laws And above ALL the
Rint" had been paid in. and but lille more could
De expected until there should be some returns
Who, then, can doubt but that crisis had come in
which O'Connell was anxious, in the recesses of his
own mind, to abandon The causeq
Bnt there is still great and vitality important mat
ter to be considered BY the Repeal Associations OF
this country. and particularly by the Repeal Asso-
citation OF this city at their meetiag this evening.
IL isa matter which no sympalhizos repeater can
overlook-a matter which no American citizen,
with a true American heart in his bosom, can either
overlook or avoid. We refer 10 that most extraor-
binary document sent by Daniel O'Connel to The
Repeal Association of Cincinnati. We dare not
trust ourselves to speak OF this communication as
1t deserves. It'll not harmless reproach, nor mag-
nant SANDER only 1t strikes deeper. 1t seeks
to disturb the harmony of the glorious Ameri-
can Union. 1t seeks to ALLEVIATE the north from the
south. OConne seeks to take advantage OF the
natural and commendable sympathy OF all the Irish
men In this country whether naturalized not ma
turallzed, to induce them to join in American
crusade against one half of the American Union
"htshnen," says the great Agitaor, 81 call on you
to join in crushing slavery" Is this then the end
and aim of the Irish Repeal movement to crush
American slavery? Is the mask now thrown off Is
not O'Connell content with agitating Ireland, and
the British Empire, but must he transmit his incen
diary documents across the Atlantic, and endeavor
TO agitate the United States, and nfane The Union1
He exhorts Irishmen "once and again to come out
from the councils of the slave owners" Now pray
what have Irshmen to do with slavery7 Will they
lend themselves, yea sell themselves to the ADOLF
tonists? Are "Inshmen," and Abolitionists to be
convertible termsl
We call upon John McKeon, and Gansevoort
Melville, and Tghe Davy, TO define their position
TO express their views upon these deeply interest
ing, and vitality important questions. Will these
gentlemen support man who is capable of writing
such an atrocious libel, such malignant and VIC.
lently infammatory documentas was sent by DAN
lei OConnell to the Irish Repeal Association Of
Cincinnati? Some of these gentlemen are in public
and highly responsible Offices sworn TO support the
Union, its Constitution, and its laws; and will they
endorse such incendiary doctrines have now
here promulgated from he Corn Exchange? Are
these gent. enen prepared to join the ranks of the
Abolilionists and stand shoulder to shoulder with
Lewis Tappan, Joshua Leavtt, William Lloyd Gar
Iison, George Thompson, ct i'd omne genus.
These are questions which will be put to them by
every sound, judIcious, thinking mind throughout
he whole length and breadth of this now peaceful
Union. And tonight we shall expect to hear clear
and definite expression of opinion upon the stand
they intend to take relative this extraordna-
ry movement of Daniel O'CoRnell. America has
sent him some So or Sic. 600, freewi offering al
the holy shrine OF liberty-a what return does he
make I He sends us back proach. llbe!, treason,
and the dissolution of the great American Union
Nay, more; he invokes the aid of his Holiness the
Pope aud his "alocuuon," to agiate our country,
and array the Catholic Church against American In
sttunons Gentlemen Repealers, what say you
are these doctrines aud these to be support
ed by American citizens
