.F6h THE TIMES.
O'CONNELL AND nISSPEECH-Asmy
object, Mr.. Editor, in asking YOU to re-publish
O'Connel's speech in'tosaru'to those eminent
benclactors OF mankind, WivkIine. Knox, and
Wesley was simply to shew by his own mouth
what wholesale dcale, he was in falsehood
and dctpction. lcannot but be under grea,
obligations to Mr.. M,ior procuring its second
pubication-and for his labor in this particu-
lar, Mr.. Nj. will please accept my thanks
lhave compared his edition of the speech with
the one requested you 10 re-publish and
can sec no material difference between them.
unless ii is, that this one from the Catholic
Herald. ismore false and unjust to those great
and good men, than the one published from
the National Intelligencer at my suggestion.
This latter paper is proverbial for its profound
respect to all Christian denominations, and TO
none, more than to the Catholic. From what
paper tho lntelligencer quoted the speech, ] do
not know Its appearance in the columns of
the Journal was sufficient evidence to my mind
that the speech was genuine; but if any one
previously doubted whether O'Connel did real
ly utter such FoULLY offensive matter against
the memories Of those truly useful and pious
mcn--this publication from the Catholic Her
aid clearly puts the matter at rest, by leaving
10 further room for doubt on that head.
WhemI requested the republication of o.
Councils speech, had no design or wish to
provoke controversy with, or 10 wound the
feelings of any Catholic. My purpose was
ONLY OUT of HIS OWN MOUTH TO shew what
bad man O'Connell must be- But, Mr.. Edit
or, as | said not one word about Catholics or
Protestants, am at loss to understand why
MIR, NJ naa'la7.tlf rrrs- stanidcro1s spcech.-
Tor, as have before remarked, this publication
proves that in truth, OConnell said all and
more than all my publication made him saw.
But perhaps, Mr.. NJ. BELIEVES thot what o.
'onnell has here said about WicklifIe Knox,
and Wesley, is true--if he does. then | am
al no loss to understand hts object but can
scarcely believe that he will endorse what o.
Cornell has said of these eminent benefactors
OF their race. Should he, against every inst
expectation, do so, | will only say, Ito use his
own languase) that his knowledge has been
derived from source polluted by religious
bfSory and intolerance"
