Sentinel of the valley. [volume] (Woodstock, Va) 1841-1848, 1843-11-16

could not say less of it; and we do not
desire to say more at present, lest we
should be accused of wishing TO continue
an excitement which it is our first object
to mitigate and extpguish.
You know full well you can place the
most implicit reliance upon us. We
never will give YOU any advice inconsls-
tent with your safety, or with the due
maintenance of the public sentiment in
favor of the independence of the irish
Legislature. You know that we cherish
the pure fame of patriotic devotion to
Ireland. You know that the sacred love
of father-land animates our bosoms with
the determination never to abandon the
pursuit OF the repeal of the union until
Irish Parliament shall be restored.
With these convictions on your mind
we readily anticipate your ready acqul-
escence in our advice. We state to you
distinctly, that the only way to obtain
the repeal of the union is by legal, peace
full, and constitutional exertiop. 1t is
impossible tn at nation pursuing such
course should not obtain its great object
that rational liberty which must in
clude the self-management of local af'
| fairs.
IF you commit crime, you strength
en- the enemy. If you violate the law.
or break the peace, you fortify your foes.
1t is alleged that you are unfit for self
gov eminent. Oh, how falsely alleged!
The best proof indeed, and the evidence
that you can give of your capabiIity of
regulating your own public affairs, is the
readiness with which you submit to the
advice of your known friends, and the
care you take not to originate or com
mence an attack upon any person. The
alacrity with which you submit not on
jIy to the reality, but even to the sem
blance of legal power, proves that you
are better fitted to manage your national
con Germs, than are those in whose hands
the practical detail of public business
happens to be at present vested.
We therefore confidently advise you
t, observe the strictest order-to avoid
all pretext for riot, tumult, or breach of
peacc-to adhere firmly to our principles
but at the same time, mot to interfere with
the opinions of any others.
Strong in these principles-dutiful in
allegiance to the Crown-ardent in our
love of father.land -convinced that our
Parliament can be restored by no other
means than those Of peaceable and legal
exertion, most anxiously advise, we
most earnestly implore you, not to be
seduced into any species of tumult, riot
or violence, by any event that may oc-
cur.
Uuder the present circumstances.
nothing can justify any breach of the
peace. Whatever may occur. be no par
ties to any violence whatever; and be as
sured that we thus point out the route to
certain, and not remote, restoration OF
the Irish Parliament.
Signed by order.
DAN'I. O'CONNELL.
Chairman of the Committee.
The latest advices state that Mr.. Dan
iel O'Connell has finally determined to
defend himself against the government
prosecutions. in the Court of the Queens
Bench, to which the agitation is to be
transferred from the Corn Exchange for
a full month at least. Mr.. O'ConneIl is
to address the jury on his behalf, and in
doing SO to enter into the whole case of
the country. Certainly the course adop
ted by the Grown Lawyers will afford
the honorable and learned gentleman am
pie latitude: for he is bound to answer the
multitude of charges set forth, and 'all
such matters as shall be alleged against
him.
Trouble IN Hayti The Ellen Perkins
arrived yesterday from Jeremie with
dates to the 18th ult.
II appears by the accounts that Hayti
is far from being quiet. In Jeremie the
inhabitants were fearful of inroads from
the mountains. They expected to be
plundered and murdered. So great was
the alarm on the 10th, that men, wome n,
and children turned out almost en- masse,
and threw up breast works with barrels
of lard. &c. Nothing serious, however,
had occurred up to the 14th, but the
place was under martial law.
American produce was abundant. with
out any sale. Copper was scarce.--N.
