Gentlemen, You VIII recoiicct hso una. We
had offers Of support from the Republican
party in France, headed by Ledru Rollln II IA
a considerable and every powerful party; II Is
that party which hates the English most, WIN an n
rational and ferocious hatred, arising most probably
from the blow struck at their vanity at Waterloo
that is the party headed by l,edru IL ollln. Gentle
men, you have his letter, and yon have my answer
Did seeS his support, or that Of his party! Did
mitigate even from the decisiveness OF my answer;
did appear unwilling 10 repeat and readily avow
~ No, gen,lemen--l took firm tone OF Loyalty
rejected their SUPPORT refused their Offer
cautioned them against coming over here--l refused
everything thatwas inconsistent with my allegiance
and is that the way that my hypocricy is proved
you. But not alone with that party In France did
the Irish people fling of all come xion but even
as regarded the present Monarch OF France, we re-
fused all, even the slightest sympathy. II has gone
forth TO the world-ii has been proved 10 you that
| hurled defiance, so far as an humble individual
| like myself could, against the Monarch who al
| present governs the French nation The learned
Attorney General who with a good deal of inge-
! nuity, introduced 10 your notice the report Of the
! Secret Commiiee Of the House OF Commons.
| in 1887, and he told YOU that We were acting
| upon that plan. In 1871 they We're looking for
| French sympathy and assistance-they had emissa-
res in France representing them there, and they
had probaly persons representing the French here
they were looking for foreign force and foreign
assistance, and he tells you that our objects were
those OF the United Irlshmen OF 1877: Oh, gentle
men, they were Numerically the reverse, II may
be that we look TO the restoration OF the elder
branch Of the House Of Bourbon, known as Henry
the 9Th, but should be sorry TO wait for repeal OF
| the union till then Much Iaughter) Not that
should dlsparage his title, for tor one believe that
Branch Of the family Of the Bourbons is restored
restored upon the principles upon which the monar-
| chy of 1858 was restored But would not dispa-
rage the clal IN that for moment laughed at, but
| ! said this is quarter from whence refuse the
slightest assistance, and hurled the indignation Of
mymind against the who would offer to the chill
dren OF France be educated by infdel professors,
and refused them that religious education their pa
| rents wished them to receive. will not, gentlemen
enter further into this point, but YOU will see from
those papers my antagonism TO the French govern
ment But, gentlemen, there is another point in my
| conduct-my antagonism TO the Chartsts. y ou may
remember that when The Association was IN full
force, the Chartsts were IN state OF ins,lrreeiion
| in England--they were coming in their hundreds
and thousands and tens OF thousands into The man
uacturing towns Of England and you Will recollecf
further thai there was something faclnating IN the
| doctrines OF Chartism for the poorer classes, be-
cause proposed in trnth and in substance, VIOLA
| ton of all the laws Of property. If had meant
anything wicked or criminal would ! not have
beriended and supported the Chartissl On
| the contrary, did ! not dencunce them--did
not keep. the Irish in England from joining
them, and was there not an outrage actually
committed in Manchester on account OF the Irish

| influence over the Irish residing there Why was
| not gi-en to you evidence, that the moment
member of our Association joined the Chartist in

him, and his name was struck out OF our books

present is a chage OF a popular insurrection II
wished tor an insuIreclion would not wi-h TO have

Charlism supported. Did not |, on the other hand,
meet II IN Dubln-did not hunt II out OF Dublin,
and, If my oath were taken, | firmly declare my
conscien Ious conviction that, had not incffered,
| Chartism would have spread from one end OF the
land to another. But have opposed that. as
