the TRUE AND ONLY COURSE.


Deenlv interested as we have always been IN
The struggle of Ireland for those civil anu 'en-
gious rights which have SO nnjustly been VIII
held from ber-anxious as we were 10 see The
hand nfibe generous ireemen of America stretch
cd across The Atlantic, with aid 10 their snnerlhS
bretbren Of the Emerald Isle; still, we have al
ways been surprzed and mortified to think
that the people of the slaveholdins SCUM
should have been SO wanting III sell-respec',
as 10 continue their liberal contributions TO-
wards The remuneration Of O'Connel, me
wanon slanterer OF our institutions. IL Is
an acknowledged fact, that the "r'nr IS most
IL appropriated 10 his craving demands. lnvaih
did he, in company with the infamous Garrlson
the present traitor 10 The Union violate The ashes
of Washington, and vilfy The warm-hearted peo-
pie of the Soulh-in vain did he throw back WIN
insults the free will offering OF our people, be-
cause il came from the land OF Washington Jel-
ferson and Madison-the contributions still con-
tinued, and the active sympathy OF our people LOT
the regeneration of Ireland remained unbroken
But their eyes are al length opened to The moral
detormilies al The Agitator. Ills recent course
in avowing, that, for bribe he would engage me
Irish people in war against Tins country, ana
"brng down the American Eagle from his proud
height" has aroused the Indignation OF his late
supporters and has given rise 10 the following ac-
lion in Baltimore, SO proper and SO worthy oil Inc
American character. II will satisfy OConnell,
that the people OF the South are not as mean-spl-
ri,ed as he has represented them, and that justice
10 ourselves qualities our sympathy for Ireland,
led on as she is by such an unworthy champion.
We admit that O'Connel is a man OF brilliant
eenius--an orator who, more Than all men we
have ever heard can rule at his will the passions
of multude--a cunning and skiiul diploma
list Selling every occasion 10 benefit himself, 'ln.
der the suiSe OF disinieresledness and love oconn-
lry--bul We must add, that We regard him as
eminently avaricious, cold-heared, brutal, and as
the most deadly enemy Of our institutions. For
cold he would sell himself and his devoted Ire
land 10 The rudesl shackles thai England could
throw around her limbs The people Of the U.
States have, al last learned 10 estimate his char
acer We rejoice that Baltimore has taken the
true stand, and Ius, that il will be followed uphy

Wednesday evening, n numerous meelng--
The proceedings closed al such lale hour, that
but little can be said now, eycep! 10 announce The
above fact, and the cause OF il. The President OF

Association, in which he administered much
abuse 10 this country, offered The British Govern

people in war against this country, should II or-

American eagle should be brought down from his
proud height, &c.-all which has been made ia

laid before The executive committee OF The aSso-
