and Infamous iniquity of the Government, can for
one moment retard the accomplishment of repeal,''
and in the same breath denouncing the said Attor-
ney-General as sssordid and degraded placeman."

nearly fsur columns OF the Irish papers, was read.

ration from unjust imprisonment; they must per-
ceive that on the part OF the repealers every pas
