Day after day, at certain hours, after the state
Of the poll was declared, O'Connell, Richard
Lalor Shiel, O'Gorman Mahon, Steele, Lawiess,
his fathers absence-O' Connen of Killmallock,
and many other men, clergymen Of note and
mark in that day as well as laymen, addressed
burned, alive. Amongst the various speakers
ON these occasions not one was 80 amusing, and
very few 80 effective, as Charles OConnell,
OConneils conducting agent: He convulsed
he produced q large bag. :" What do You think
I've got there r. he cried what do you
t think the hsy Of the p.9dqsng on
and Sir Edward O'Brien had this key for many
= long day, but Tss Joand y; Il belong. to yos.
Now, boys, answer my question want to
k ksps saan
by q storm Of "noes." The children and SER
wants left to mind the houses on the hillsides,
miles away, used to congregate as those .in mes
high land above Magowna, on the mountain
above Clifden House, over the Lake of Meiu-
quin, and other places, to pause with mingled
feelings Of awe and pleasure, and catch the dim
reverberations of those cheers and groans as
they rose and fell like sounds in dreamland, or
the waves of the ocean breaking in storm upon
them they would bound and shout again till
the echoes of exultation went over the land.
The High Sheriff, Mr.. Molorny, of Kiltaunon,
referring, in by-conversation to OGorman Ma
hon, who was making q speech at the time and
stood near him as this man here,n gave O'Gor-
man Mahon offence. He paused in his speech,
saying as he struck his breast This man here
tells that man there" (pointing at Molorny),
t'that though he is not High Sheriff he is
gentleman and that though the law excludes
him from all Offices account of his religion,
he is not altogether devoid of the good manners
which it seems the King cannot bestow upon
his servants" This caused n meeting between
O'Gorman Mahon and Molorny, which, howev-
er, after an exchange of shots, resulted in no
hurt to either
On the terminationo of each days proceedings
Carmody's Hotel became the place of rendez-
vous for O'ConnelPs friends. In q private room
there the great Moral Force Captain entertain
ed at dinner chosen number OF his ofncers.
Shiel, Lawless, even OConnelPs sons, all VINO
came merely to make speeches. to give enect
by their presence, or to enjoy the excitement
and interest which this election created
throughout Ireland, England, and Scotland,
in the public room. OConnell, attended
always by his most devoted friend Steele, met
his brigadier-generals and coloneis and cap
tains at dinner, to transact business. When
the cloth was removed, and the post-prandial
decanters laid ON the TABLETOP it seems drink
ables, provided by himself, were allowable, OF
plicable only to the rank and file-the servants
received all special information and issued his
instructions for the night of the next day. he
OWNED the speciality Of every man in tho
room, though he had met several Of them not
above two or three times, and hit off their char
acters by an epithet or cOgnomen Whlcn att@cn-
ed to them through after life. His seriousness
was doubly effective because of the good-hu
and gaiety of heart, his prevailing characteris-
tics, with which it contrasted. Three or four
Roman Catholic clergymen-Father Daniel
Lynch, Father Pat OGorman, Father Sheehan,
Father vaughan--three or faIx Of the principal
men of business of the town of Ennis-Corne-
Illus Hickey, Tom Gallery, John Mangan, John
Considine-a few of the most popular gentle
mon farmers of the county-Ralph Cullinan,
Hugh o'Loughlin (the brother of his friend,
who became afterwards the Master of the
Rolls)-formed this council. He would first
and last refer to the necessity of temperance
and self-restraint in conduct as well as living,
and looked with pride that kindled into love as
he glanced at Steele, would tell how Steele was
struck on the face that day by one of the Brews
and how he bore the blow like q child for the
sake of the cause, pointing as he spoke at the
marks of violence visible Steele's counte-
nance These little squireens would ask moth
ing better than to be called out by Steele. Ii
would place Fitzgerald under everlasting obi
CATIONS to them, and might produce some un
torcseen injury to u.s." :" Corney," he would
say to Cornelius Hickey, shall have q reform
bill passed for Ireland which will enable this
town to send o member to Parliament, elected
by the householders, and q municipal bill
which will place its concerns in the hands of q
