President of the u. States.
At a recent meeting of the Irish Repeal AsSo-
citation in Dublin, MI Daniel O'Connell moved
special 'svote of thanks to Robert Tyler, Esq,
son of the President of the U. S., for the part he
had taken in promoting the cause of Repeal.
Mr. @ Connell moved the "vote of thanks" and
Mr. Thomas Steele seconded the resolution:
Mr. O'Connell next said The next subject is
one of deep and general interest inasnuch as the
matter mean to propose is special vote oil THANKS
ito Mr. Tyler, son of the President Of the u. s..
fchcers,) for the countenance he has given the
cause of Repeal AS an American gentleman,
and distinguished in society as such, L should not
feel it my duty to move vote Of thanks so many
others having Joined in similar displays; but [
think there is peculiarity in the case, by reason
of his connexion with the elected Chief Magistrate
of free people. (Cheers) Though we do not
find in that country any connexion between the
family and the head of the Government with the
politics ofthe State, yet the necessary association
in the relation between father and son-that kind
of community of idea which must be supposed to
exist where domestic dissensions do not prevail
should lead us to believe that the sentiments of the
son are not discountenanced or dsapproved by the
parent Thear hearl | believe the character of
the American President stands highly in this re-
spect for one of the great things at popular cleo
tons is that in consequence of the number of rival
candidates, and of the enemies which those cam
didates must necessarily have, each party would
be on the alert to find out every fault, which the
others possessed Hear hear The Democrat
ic principle then, not only gave freedom Of elec-
ton, but is a corrector of vices for no man who
| is a bad husband a bad father, bad son, or an
unjust brother, can have chance OF being re-
turned When men are therefore guilty of any
there is no doubt whatever ofits being
exposed and these elections thus operate as a
Icheck on vice. and reward and encouragement
of public and private virtue. [Hear, hear.l
After some other strong and eloquent remarks,
Mr. O. Connell concluded with the subjoined SEN
Itiment. when Mr. Steele rose and seconded the
tmotion:
1t is, therefore, that want the Statesmen of
England. and the Statesmen of Europe, to know
that look for repeal and not for separation, so as
to make the connexion between the two countries
truly perpetual (Hear) 1t is in that spirit, |
now move, that the marked thanks of the Associ-
alton be conveyed to Mr.. Tyler for the sympathy
which he has shown for the Irish people, in their
struggle to repeal the Union. Loud cheers
Mr. STEELE.-As the people of America, from
one end of the United States to the other max
ing preparations 10 receive me- and as 1 hold my
self in readiness to cross the Atlantic whenever
the time shall come when my august friend,
| o. Connell, shall, in his wisdom, be ofopinion,
that I should 90 aboard the Steamer, perhaps, it
NAV be right, that / should be the seconder ofthis
resolution. (Cheers) Therefore, Sir, first echo
ing the disclaimer ofmy political leader of any
Identification with any sentiment whatever of our
American friends and brothers, except that OF
anxiety for the repeal of the Union, / have the
honor of seconding the resolution, and call up
on you, my countrym pass the vote of thanks
with nine hearty cheers. Cheering for some
minutes.)
