For the hooping cough , it will be found an invaluable remedy , depriying those harrassing spasmodic parexysms of their violence , and from its powerful expectorant snd healing qualities , speedily effe-cting a complete cure . During tlie pi-rioiical attacks of the influensa , which have so often occurred during the winter , many indiriduals h . ve expressed io the proprietors that they have received material relief e rom its use , and it may be recammended & s a remedy of'the first importance in that disease .

The Irish Confederation. On Wednesday ' ...
THE IRISH CONFEDERATION . On Wednesday ' evening a ' arge assemblage of thi * body waa held at the Rotunda , Dublin , and much interest was excited , as it was uneierstood tlwt _ a discussion was to take place as to the general policy of the Confederation . On t he motion of Mr Smith O'Uries , J . Martin . Epq . of Loiiehorne , was calleel to the chair . . MrS . O'Bkibn , M P ., delivered a lengthy : speech , reviewing the coirespondence of Messrs Duffy and Mitche ); in tbe course of which he earnestly contended against the sentiments put forth by the new leaders . He concluded by moving the adoption of the following string of resolutions , which lad previously obtained the sanction of a majority of the council of the Confederation : — . _ . ¦*«*»¦» -f i-i r » y >>/ -i » . 1 T ^ i-trvT !« iH * T /'» ' » T 1
1 . Resolved , That Inasmuch aa letters published by two members of this council havebrtmght into question the principles of the Irish Confederation , and have g iven rise t » un imputation that we are desirous to produceagencra l disorganication ofso : iety in this country , and to overthrow social order , we deem it right again to place before the public the following fundamental rule as that which constitutes the basis of action proposed to our fellow countrymen by the Irish Confederation : — BOLE . 1 . That a society be now formed under the title of ' The Irish Coufede ruion , ' for the purpose of protecting our nati . inal interests , and obtaining the legislative in . dependence of Ireland , by tbe fi > ree of opinion , by the combination of all classes of Irishmen , and the eirrcise of nil the political , social , and merjl influences within our reach .
2 . Tbat ( under present circumstances ) tbe only hope f , f the liberation of this country lies in a movement in which all classes and creeds of Irishmen shall bo fairly represented , and by which the interests of none shall be endangered . 3 . That inaf much as English legislation threatens all Irishmen with a common ruin , wo entertain a confident hope that their common necessities will speedil y unite Irbhm-n in an effort to get rid of it . 4 . That we earnestly deprecate the expression of any sentiments in the Confederation calculated to repel or alarm any section of our fellow eountrj men . fl . That we disclaim , as we have disclaimed , any intention of Involving our country in civil war , or of invading the just r ' g hts of any portion of its people . G . That the Confederation has not recommended , nor docs it recommend , veaittauce to tbe payewnt of rutea and rents , but on the contrary , unequLvocol y condemns such recommendations .
7 . That in protesting against the disarmament of the Irish people , under the Coercion Bill lately enacted , and innuintaiug that the right to bear arms and to use them for legitimate purposes Is one of the primary attributes oflibtrty , we have no intention or desire to encourage any portion of the population of this country in the perpetration of crime * such as those wh ' ch have recently brought disgrace upon the Irish people , and which bare tended , in no tuning degr-. e , to retard the success of our efforts in the cause ef national freedom . 8 . That to hold out io the Irish people the hope that in their present broken and divided condition they can liberate their country by an appeal to arms , and consequen'ly te divert them from constitutional action , would be , in our op inbn , a fatal misdirection of the public mind .
i ) . That this Confederation was established to attain an Irish parliament by the combination of elates , and by ( he force of npinion , exercised in constitutional ope rations and that no means of a contrary chtiucttr can bo recommended or promoted through its organisation while its pn sent fundamental rules remain unaltered . 10 . That while we . deeni it r i ght thus rmphatically to disavow tho principles pronounced in lhe publications referred fo in the nsolutione , we nt the tamo liinv eejusUy distinctly repudiate all right to control the private opinions of any member of oar bo- ' y , provided they do not « ff ct the l"gal or moral responsibility of 'be Irii-h Confederation . Sir , I beg : leave to move ! hose resolutions . ( Che-ere . ) Mr J . I ' lcoi secoutied the motion , but wa s r e ceived with mingled expressions of applause and disapprobation .
Mr MiicnEL then came forward , and wa s recei v ed w ith prolonged rnd enthusiastic cheering , j . fcer which he spoke as follows : —We have been accustomed hitherto , sir , to the utmost unanimity in our public meetings . Reports and resolutions brought up from the council have commonly be en pa s sed with acclamation , and as a matter of course—or if any one di-sented from any part of them , ho contented himself with the proviso contained inourseventh fundamental rule , that no report or resolution oftbe b ody hound a member who . had not expressly assen ted to the same . Yet I believe the meeting will not be surprised at my thinking it necessary to move an amendment to the resolutions proposed b y Mr O'Brien . ( Hear , bear . ) First , however , I wish to
make public acknowledgment of the candour and manliness of Mr O'Brien ' s conduct io this matter . Yet the nature of these resokions is not to be rr . itaken . Strictly and literally they are peace resold tiona ; and , in their practical application , they are in . tended virtually to exclude not only certain principles , but certain persons ; in short , me , and any others who may aerce w ' th me—not a few I apprehend—from the Irish Confederates . Now , ' that in itself is a small matter . If I withdraw to-morrow from the c o n ' ederati'n the cause would suffer little , if at all ; a-. d I would to God that I were free to withdraw from it quietly , deeply as I am concerned for its success , rather than he forced into this public
antagonism ayainst men with whom I have worked so long ' and so .-ordially , and for whom , generally sneaking , ! feel so strong regard . ( Hear . ) But , sir , thi s is not a personal matter ; it involves the fundamental principles of the confederation ; and 1 am not at liberty to avoid unpleasant collision by sneaking out « 'f the affair , without making ars effort to vindicate and save those fundamental prinoiples . To come to the resolutions before the chair , let me omit for the present the first e ght of them , and draw your attention for a minute to the ninth , which I regard as the most important of them all , in fact , including the whole principle . The ninth resolution is , ' That this Confederation was established to attain an Irish
Parliament by the combination e-f classes , and b y tbe force of opinion exercised in constitutional operations ; and that no means of a contrary character can be recommended or promoted through its organisation while its present fundamental rules remain unaltered . ' Now , let any Confederate present loek to the back of his card , and see whether the third rule , or any other rule limits the action of the confederation within the bounds ol the constitution . There ia < ot in tho whole of our rules one word about constitution , or about law , or about ' patience and perseverance , ' or about' peace , law , and order . ' 1 drew up the original draft , of those rules myself , and t o ok good care to put into them no such palm y balderdash . ( Loud cheers . ) To be sure th e
, rule says we expect to achieve our country ' s freedom , amongst other things , by the force of opinKn , Well , and must the force of opinion always bo legal ? Always be peaceful ? Does ( pinion then mean law ? Docs opinion cease to be opini o n the moment i t ste p s out o f the tr e nche s of t he constitution ? Why , s ^ r , I hold that there is no opinion in Ireland worth a farthing which is not illegal . ( Cheers . ) I hold that armed opinion is a thousand times stronger than unarmed —( cheers )—and further , that in a national struggle that opinion is the most potent whose sword is sharpest , and whose aim is surest . ( Hear , hear , and loud cheers . ) We are told it was opinion and sympathy , , nnd other metaphysical entities that rescued Italy , and seared
Austria back from Ferrara without a blow . Yes , but ic was opinion with the helmet of a national guard upon his head and a long sword by his side ; it waa opinion atanding match in hand at the breech of a tun charged to the nuzzle . ( Loud chcerirg . l Now , I say nil this , n o t to vindicate m y self , lor I have no where recommended the Irish nation to attain legislative independence by force of arms > n their present broken and divided condition ( as Mr O'Brien ' s resolution imputes to me)—not to vindi . ca'e myself , but to vindicate the original free constitution ot our confederacy . I say there is no sort of agency by which nations ever won freedom barred from us by these fundamental rules ; and I will op . p ose to the last any scheme of po l icy that would now
limit our speech and action within the bounds of laws and constitutions , about which Ircand knows only this—that they were invented to en = iave , starve , and plunder her . ( Hear , and loud cheers . ) Mr 0 ' Brien says , if you admit tlie expression of such doctrines , as mine you will break faith with influential , and worthy aristocratic persons who may have joined ua in the belief that they would not be alarmed by such seditious suggestions . Now , 1 say if you vote tonight that the confederation is to be henceforth a s trictly legal and constitutional society , you break faith with me and many another man who never would have joined it with any such view . ( lleur hear . ) Now , before leaving this expression , the power of op inion , and the proper interpretation to be put upon those word-, I will remind you that three mon t hs a g o , at tho Belfast meeting , it devolved upon me to expound the rules of this confederation to the
people of tbe north ; and there , in the presence of Mr Smith O'Brien , I gave the following explanation of this third rule ( I quote from tho Nation ) : — ' The force of opinion here mentioned does not exclude any kind of operation consistent with morn lily and duty It does not exclude an organisation to resist And defeat foreign laws for instance ! neither docs it prohibit a resort to arms , should the time ever come when we shall have the power to use them ' Coon this exposition of mine followed no disavowal contradiction , or comment , until to-msht . ( llonv hear . ) I now come to that clause in the same ninth resolution which refers to tho ' combination of classes . It seems to imply that the writers of the terrible letters in question did or said something to prevent a combination of classes . Now for my part I only said that recent circumstances had made me despair of such combination , how mrch soever I ought desire it . ( Cheers . ) 1 only eaid that in mv
oimon . no landlords of Ireland had takentfceirs . de with the Enghsh . and against their own count vroen , and that it was useless to keep ennrtin * and wooing armed and sanguinary enemies . That was all .
The Irish Confederation. On Wednesday ' ...
I did desire—sir , I do desire—I would this ni > : ht give my right hand to bring about a combination ot the various orders t . f Irishmen against English dominion . ( Cheers . ) I do believe such a union would be the salvation of all those classec , of social order , r-nd of many thousands of human lives . But I tell you I despair of such combination . ' And what think you ? I a ? k my brother Cemfrderates do they in their souls and consciences believe that the landlords dl IrftlAlHl will help them to set this island free . ( Cries » t ' No' ) Of course I mcar > tho landlords as a class . There a re nob ' e exceptions—Iym e . f them here to-nip ht—but so few that they ampl y p rove the rule . Do you belicveit ? ( lave we all been dreaming these last few months ? Is it a fact , or not , that tbe gentry have cnlle . d in T n i . ¦ . *¦« m * -r 1 I iL ! . hi . hf / TlVfl
the aid o ' foreigners to help them to clear the > ir own people from the face of the earth , to he l p them to crush and trample down in blood and horror the rightful claim of the tenant classes to a bare subsistence on the land they till ? ( Hear , hear . ) Is it a fact , that they invented a sham council , called the Irish Council , ' and talked what they called nationality there lor a few meetings , until they got what t hey wanted , a bill t o di s arm and transp o rt t he Irish—and where is their nationality now ? My friend ? , I was weak enough to put some trust in that sham ha tionality , and I laboured for a time anxiously on the committees of the Iri * h Council , trying in good faiih to extract what good I thought was in it . Anrl I will say now tbat , democratas I am , by nature ,
1 abits , education , and position , I would have lollowed the aristocracy of Ireland in the march to freedom with z al and loyalty , if they had only led . But they cheated me—they cheated you—a » d they arc now lau ghing at us all . I , for want ot some one more competent , tried and tested them on several questions—first , > n the prevention of food exports from a starving country ; but in this they would not lift a fioger . ' How , ' they said , 'how were tenants to pay their rents , if they did not send their corn to England V Next I raised a discussion on tenant right—succeeded in exciting public attention to tbe debate—succeeded in framing my raoti-n so that iHr Sbarman Crawford was able to support itbut what did the national landlords do ? Why they
slunk away , an . l hid themselves , and the division took place amongst empty benches . And in what position do we see these landed proprietors now ? Are they flocking to our standard , a s we have s o often invited them to do ? Are they marshalling us the way to win our freedom from the English ? Have they not taken pay from the Eng lish ag a inst us , at d are they not no *? turning upon us sword in hand ? ( Cheers . ) Let us not deceive ourselves—this eountry is in a state of war—a most unequal and illmatched struggle , indeed—for the slaug hter on one side exceeds the casu elides on the other as ten thousand to one . The lirokenspirited and famished peasants have only heart for a few c ward assassin shots from behind a hedco . hut a sheriff's bailiff , with a
e ' cHtlly weapon called . a habere , has often exterminated a whole country side in a few hours . The habere is more destructive tlian grape shot , or shell , or Captain Warner ' s long range—it blows tke roof off a score of houses at once , tears up the hearthstones , obliterates the very foundations , and leaves the naked and famishing inmates to the leg isla t ive charity of a poorhouse , which is forse than death . ( Heir , hear . ) Let me read you the last paragraph ot ' an address to the resident landlords ot Ireland , ' brought up and adopted at ; our meeting on the 7 th of April last : — 'We have been told that we m ; iy despair of the co-operation ef the Irish landed proprietois in this £ -rent national movement , and that the cause of Ireland ' s liberty must proceed
without you . To that suggestion wo r . re unwning to yield ( tbi . « was ten months ago . ) Our country canhot well afford to have jo powerful a class against her in her ri g hteous strnpt'le— besides times have come upon us to scften men ' s hearts and open their eyes to the truth ; and in that kindly influence , a « well as in the meaner instinct of set-preservation , wp . have still some hope ( it was teu months ago . ) Shall this . hove Ve -rain ? The midd ' . e aud the humbler classes have not a day to lose in the formation of an alliance for the protection of their own lives . At the present rate of mortality their ranks are dailv diminished by hundreds . It will be apparent
to you th-. itiftl . cy arc to make any efforts whatever for self-preservation they must . do so fonhwith . In our conscientious duty to them we must aid , assist and hasten their deeision'in this matter ; and we must in candour declare that a principal end of this address is to ascertain whether we are to reckon you as with or against your country . ' And at the very same meeting a man who generally means what he says , and whose unavoidable ab .-ence to-night wo must rvcrct—I mean Mr Meaeher—used this language-: ' I now make this last appeal to the aristocracy of Ireland . I do so , that in our day of triumph we may lead no fel ' ow countrymen in chains , nor
scout him as an alitn from our ranks . There is not an hour—no , not an instant to be lost . ( This was ten months aeo . ) Every grave that opens to receive a victim of English rule , widens and deepens the cl asm tha : has for vears divided thetwogreat classes of the country . ( How wide , then , and how deep , is that chasm now . ) Sir , it is useless to argue it—the people , without the aristocracy , when driven to the last extremity , have the power to win their freedom . One thing at . least is certain—tbe people will not consent to live another year in a wilderness and a grave-yard . ' Well , ten montlis of the year have passed . In short , it seems to have been always understood that our experiment upon the aristocracy was but an ex p erimen t , and must have an end some time or oilier . The difference is only as to time . We were rot to so on for ever inviting the l » mb to lie down with the wolf and the kid to play upon the cockatrice ' s den . We must absolutely draw the line somewhere—and for me I draw it at the Coercion
Act . So far as to the technical question of the original rules ; but , sir , nobody here imagines the question before ns to be a merely technical one . lllear , hear ) The real issue here is whether the Irish Confederation shall now definitely shape itself into an organisation for purely constitutional or Parliamentary agitation , to the utter exclusion of those who , like mc , t- ^ ke no interest in that kird of procedure , or whether It shall be open , asbe ' ore , to those who think it is only by a steady passive resistance to English laws that Ireland ' s independen c e is to be won . For my part , I admit that I am weary of constitutjonal asitation , and will never lift a finger to help it more . I believe we have not the materials for it , and that f he show of constitutional power we possess was exactly devised by our enemies to delude us into an endless and driftless agitation . I will assi s t at th o p lanting of no more bean stalks on which one day wc are to reach the sky . I am tired
. Dropping ef buckets into empty wells , AdJ groninjj old in drawing nothing up . Instead of' a » . itate , agitate , ' I would say to the people , ' arm ! arm ! ' Instead of register , register , ' I would say 'hold your lands and eat of the fruit therei f , and be filled , ' and establish universal tenant-riuht , that so the graves and poor-houses may not swiillow up the very material of our nation . I would say , leave the English for the present all the responsibilities of what they call governing us ; be not idiots enough to help , countenance , or comfort them in that business ; but , above all , be armed , be
armed , that when Louis Philippe dies voumav be ready to repel the French invasion . ' ( Tremendous cheers . ) I will now , sir , move my amendment—it is a very simple one—it neither breathes blood anei murder , nor bristles vrith pike-heads , nor smells ot Gunpowder . It . is a mere reference to one of our own fundamental rules , on which , as your only safe basis , I advise you to rely in this emergency . You will remember that t ^ r-se resolutions are introduced expressly to condemn certain views of two e . f your members published in the newspa ; era , and which do not necessarily come before you at all . My amendment , therefote , is : —
That this Confederation does not fuel called upon to promote either a condemnation or Approval of any doctrines promulgated by any of its membera in letters , fpeecbes , ¦ r otln rwise , because the seventh fumlamental rule of the Confederation expressly provisos , ' Tbat inasmuch as the essential bond of union amon 7 Sl us ia the assertion of Ireland ' s rights to an independent legislature , no member of the Irish Confederation shall be bound to tho adoption of any principle involved ie any resolution , or promu ' gaced by any speaker in the society , or any journal advocating its policy , to which he has not given his special consent , save only tbo ( uregping fundamental principles of the society . '
That is my amendment ; and now , before sitting down , I will complain of the onlv passage iu Mr O Brteiis speech which I can characterise as decidedly unfair . I think it was unfair to speak of the man who murdered Mr Hill in Limerick as a dis ciplc of my docttit . es . I ask you whether in any letter or speech ot mine 1 have given grounds for such an imputation as this-where and when have 1 ever justihed , or palliated , or recommended , or hinted at assassination ? I have said , inde e d , that the tenantneM must be established every where in Ireland as it is m Ulster , by the strong public opinion of men in
arms . In Ulster , there are no agrarian murders , there m the tenant-right districte , they openly and in daylight gather in arms to resist ejectment or distress where there is a gross and signal violation of the popular riuht ; but in Munster , sir . they first submit to be hunted from their dens like foxes and badgers , and then basely lurk behind a hedg e and shoot the landlord or the bailiff . It is therefore the practice of Ulster I recommend , and not the example of Mr Hill ' s murderers in Limerick . ( Hear , hear . ) I have now done , sir , but one thing I beg the Confederation to keep in mind . If they confirm my amendment it will leave the Con f ederation nreciselv
in the same unfettered position in which it stood when we entered this room to-night ; but if they adopt the resojuiions proposed b y Mr O'Brien , they will for the first time exclude certain Repealers fnmi the Confederation who do not happen to agree in policy with the majority of its council . I do not desire to prevent Mr O'Brien from continuing in our society , nor from fully and freel y urging his own views of policy , but he does desire to do so by mo . Remember , theretere , in giving your vote , that I do not want to expel Mr O'Brien or anybody else , and 1 demand of you that you will interpose , and fcr the

Itll they would ba slaughtered , / t S , CScSbSl tha arms eon d not be resorted to as a mears of re . pealing the union ; the object of an appK " rS dXtKnr mentof " ^ »* < wB Mr Mitchel , in exp l a nation , said Mr Dohenv had bccH arguing against some person who advised an immediate insurrection , whereas his ( Mr Mif chcl ' s ) letter stated distinctl y he did not auvto an immediate insurrection . Further , his letter recom . mended not an armed , hut a deliberate passive resistance to poor rates . If Mr Doheny Aii BOt under _ stand his plain language , he could " not understand his argument . If he did understand his ( Mr Mitchell ) language , he had grossl y misrepresented him for some clap-trap purpose or other . ( Cheers ) .
Mr Bauut foll o w ed , and contended that the re" = o . Iutions of Air Smith O'Brien were calculated t » set aside the original rules upon which the Confederation is b a sed , Mr Smith O'Beirn mored an adjournment of the debate to text evening , which was agreed to . On Friday evening the adjourr . ed meeting waa held , Mr Martin in the chair . Mr Lawless , before tlw discussion commenced , introduced a resolution for the purpose of reconeilin » all parties , and obviating dissensions . Mr Williams fid owed in support of the resolutions moved by Mr O'Brien . Mr Euoene O'Rkiuv defended the policy pro . pounded by Mr Mitchel .
Mr Dillon followed , and contended that tho advice which Mr Mitchel wanted the Confederation to give to the people would be calculated to lead to local insurrections , which would inevitably be suppressed , and the hands of the goverr ment s'rent'therjcd . Mr Devi-,- Reilly contended that it waa their duty to make the people prepared for warfare in order that they might not be broken and divided as they were at present , but ready for a struggle . It had been argued as if it were his ( Mr Reilly ' s ) intention to go out immediately on the hills . lie had no such thing in view . But he would tell them what he was at just at present . He was getting up a Rifle Club , ( cheers , ) in order that at least some of the voung men of Ireland might be fit to ue arms in the course of time when they would be called on to do so . The speaker maintained that the landlords were at present in arms against the people .
Mr Dlfft next came forward , and was received with cheers mirgled with hisses . The serious ques . tion which now fipjatrd them had been described aa a personal quarrel ( erica r , f'It is , ' ' no , 'and ' order' ); and he had been accused of makinsr i se of that Confcth ration for personal purposes . Beth charges were perfectly untrue . Mr Dnffy proceeded to contend that the fundamental rtOes of the society were that objects should be sought for by legal and constitutional means , and should not be trenched 6 n . Mr Richard O'GohMxs . jun , supported the resolutions of Mr Smith O'Brien .
Mr Meagher spoke in support of the resolutive " Although he was not one of those sort of moralists who declared that liberty was not worth a drop of blood , he voted in favour of constitutional agitation ; but he did so not from choice but from necessity . That ps-licy wasthe only one which they could adopt as like ly , in their present circumstances , to succeed The priesthood , the middle-classes , and the aristocracy would be opposed to insurrectitmary movemerits , and then there were 50 , 000 British trcops in the country . Mr M'Ghee supported the resolutions ; after which
Mr Mitchel came forward amid loud cheers , and spoke in reply . It had been said that if classes were set to contend against each other theie was no knowing in what it might end . Why the end to which such content'on came had already been exhibited at Skull and Skibbereen . He never sooke ia favour of arming- tbe peasantry aga / nst their landlords , but in order that they ruiirht be enabled to hold tbeir own rights . Rather than that ten men should die of famine he would prefer that ten thousand should be hewn to pieces , fighting like men and Christians for their rights . ( Cheers . ) Mr Mitchel , in continuation , denied the competency of any meeting in Dublin—even that great and influential assembly—to decide a question involving the alteration of the constitution of that Confederation .
Mr Smith O'Bkik . n then came forward to speak in rep ly , and was received with loud cheer ? , lie took upon himself the whole responsibility of the resolutions which he moved . Mr Mitchel ' had not done them justice in faying that they were intended for his expulsion . Mr O'Brien , iu continuation , submitted that Mr Mitchel has utterly failed to shew that his plan (•! action would have ttietffect of saving the life i / f one single labourer of the country ; of establishing tenant-right ; or of advancing that Confederation one step in the attainment of its objects . The Chairman , after some observations , tead the resolutions and the amendment , and having put the question upon them , declared the resolutions to be carried . Mr Mitcuel called for a division .
Tellers belli" appointed , Messrs O'G'irman and M'Gee for the resolutions , and Me-srs Mitchel and Reilly for the amendment , the numbers were tiseerto be—314 for the resolutions , and 1 SS for the amendment , so that the former were carried by a majority of 126 . The proceedincs did not terminate ; till one o ' clocn'o
