Sib , —Ii J 3 bow Beren years since I addressed a gens of letters to yon upon the subject of jonr Parliamentary condnct during tbe four previous years . That communication was dragged from me i > j jour own folly m not stalling yourself of the opportunity that I afforded yon to explain some charges joaihoaght proper io bringagainst me in your association of that day . The iacts contained in those letters , which remain unshaken and nncontradicted Ik t \\ a nfOCfiTI ^ mnMAht « VnnY >] % kM . 'w « M . _ . _ J _ __ _ jo the t momentShould have made
presen , yon caucus in again charging roe , directly « r indirectly , ^ rift politick terpitude . Yon inns * hare heen aware tiiu ihe improTed mind of Ireland had , from that period , eonstitnted a new censorship for the investigation of all matters connected with the character tf polincans ; and my former letters haying con-Baerably damaged your reputation in th « days of Irish daTkness , when yonr magic power controlled all without question , it was the extreme of foDy io hope in these more enlightened times that yon could convict without trial . However , it notunfrequently that the
happens possession of great power is used as a set-off against minor disadvantages 5 and mayhap jon calculated upon your present position giving you an irresistible dictatorial strength j and thereupon yonfounded a belief either that I would qnu-tly £ uccunb , or that anydefsnce against charges brought by yon in your present position would be futile and unavailing . bir , I am now preparing to reply to your recent attack upon me , not so much with the -view of defending myself , as for the purpose of explaining the general tendency of the mode of making that attack , and the object with which it was made . In one ol your recent speeches , delivered in the Corn Exchange , ; you took the opportunity of . commepting upcn some inforoatkn i » mBnciea . ted to yon hy-m correspondent of the Morning ChrcmeJe , in the e ^ TiTse of which you used the following language .
I shall first selecS those portions which will best ' jerre to connect yoar reasoning upon the subject , sad I shall ^ then comment -upon them "as a whole . ' H esntime .-ST , do not charge me with any desire to j arraign you upon garbled extracts ; for bear in ' mind , ihai your whole speech was printed in the Northern Siar of Saturday last . The firs : extract ' trfcieh 2 quote is is follows : — " That some hundreds j tS men . or may be thousands , did not get drank , did jsot fall « ut and fight , and cause general riot on ! { lira Hifl , to which the military and aimed police ! trimld ijsve soon been summoned , was not thefsult , ' iif lie persons alluded to , nor the fault of those who paid ihsrn to come here ; who hare also paid the ! sice cen , and some others , to follow Mr .

indictment ; yon calculated upon my further incarceration j you hoped for unopposed sway ; you raised a hope for a concealed purpose , with an ostensible bearing ; and ihe laxity of the law , which declared my liberation , caused you such discomfiture and consternatioD , that you seized the moment of my triumph as the fitting one for renewing your deadly hostility ! 1 Always bear iu mind , Sir , that yon told the Irish people , in 1832 and 1833 , that it WAS HOPELESS TO EXPECT A . RePBAI . Of THB VniON until thb English people joined in the demand ; and , mind , thai from that moment to the present you have vsed your every energy to DEFEAT THE OBJECT which you declared to be indispensiblk TO TOUH SBCCEES !!!
Sir , hope cot either to arrest or much longer to retard the growth of democracy . You hare had a quiet summer unopposed by legal authority . God send that the earning winter may be as calm . ' We have had a lifeless summer , and will have a quiet and a bloodless winter ; and as men must be judged by their acts , whatever the spring-yield of your present agitation maybe , I pledge myself that by that time , eiiher you will be / onwd into the fulfilment of your pledge , OB THB WHOLE IRISH NATION WILL BECOME CONVERTS TO THOSS PRINCIPLEB WHICH rotr PBo ? £ SB « KM > 3 nsB , iof which you have lost no opportunity Udestroy ! I You have strength at your hack , Sir , such as no man of ancient or modern times could boast of ; and your greatest consists in the
sympathy of the Jury class ; while I have no power but that which abject poverty can give me : for the Jury class consider my destruction necessary for the preservation of their order . Beware how yoxt trifle with such power ! Build not upon the prejudices of former days . Hope for no great lenity , if disappointment should lead to its aspiration ' . And , above all , do not tarnish your fame by saddling your weakness upon other men's shoulders . The nation has given you the support that you asked for . It has proclaimed itB willingness as one man to stand by you to the death ; while it has' profusely furnished you with all the means of agitation . Hope not , then , so meanly of Irish pride , Irish hope , and Irish resolution , as that all will be allowed to vanish as the mere dream of enthusiasm , leaving nought behind ,
" But the wreck of old opinions . " It is now eleven years since I told you at a public dinner in Cork that , like Frankenstein , you had created a monster which , if thwarted , would destroy you . Since then you have occasionally nnrtured it , and put it out to nurse : but it has grown in the time ; and ere long you will behold it , terrific in its maturity if opposed , or fond in itB embraces if cherished ! BUT TOTJ CAMNOT DESTK 8 T IT ! And although you have rocked it to sleep now and then , lest in its growth it should interfere with w corporate reform , " " the registration , " or " tithe reform ,- ' yet the full grown beast cannot Now be lulled to rest icilh so poor an opiate as thtee or four hired English Chartists , causing confusion amongst a million and a quarter of thoroughly organised and well disciplined Irishmen , met upon the Boot of Ireland's former grandeur , and commanded by Ireland ' s present Liberator ! No sir ,
" Lay not the nattering unction to your soul . " Thins not so badly of our brave countrymen . I at least entertain no fear that & passing rumour M whistled" at the base of Tara Hill can divert six millions of Irishmen from their darling purpose !! Sir , 1 understand that you have written a History of Ireland . I have not yet read it , bnt 1 learn that it is to be sold to the several districts at the low price of twenty pounds . But let me hope that it is not written upon those false assumptions which are everywhere to be found in your recent speeches . If however , you have erred from your thorough ignorance of the History of Ireland , I trust that those errors are confined 10 those dark timeB when mere
assertion will go for the establishment of fact . But pray do not seek , as yon have in your several speeches , to convince the Irish people that in 1782 the sun of Ireland rose ; for in reality what you call " the glorious achievement of tbe Irish Volunteers " was the commencement of Irish debasements It is but right j sir , that the History of Ireland , and espe cially of that iicoe-during which the cravings of what is called her "free Parliament , " furnished the English press with such just cause of vituperation , should be thoroughly understood ; and in order to iliastrate that portion of Ireland ' s kistory give me leave to inform you that the period from the passing of the bctenual act during the vice-regency of Lord
Townsend in 17 t 8 down to the Act of Union in 1800 , were the very darkest days of Irish hiitory . Up to J 760 the price of a seat in the Irish House of Commons , was £ 500 per life . By the octenual act a seat was made worth £ 800 for eight years ; a prioe subsequently raised to £ 2 , 500 ; and afterwards the title was purchased for from fifteen to twenty thousand pounds . The establishment of "free trade , " as you are pleaded to term it , in 1782 , having caused the second rise ; while the latter purchase-money was paid as compensation to the borough-mongers for the purpose of carrying the Union . You should tell the 1 rish people that that freedom of which you boasl , in 1782 , consisted in the increased poweb vested in the
hands of the Irish Photestant Parliament by the repeal of Poyning's Act , and the triumph of the Volunteers iu 1782 , to make themselves , not serviceable to the Irish people , hut dangerous to the English oligarchy . You should tell them that as soon as Lord Cbarlemont , the Generalissimo of the VolunteerB , had achieved all the objects of his own faction , that the Irish Catholic Volunteers petitioned him to proceed for " a full , free , and fair representation of the whole people in the House of Commons" ; and to which demand the Generalissimo returned the following answer : —** That howkvee DBSIBABLE PaKLIAMENTABT BeFORM MIGHT BE , AND
WAS , IT WAS ADMISSIBLE 0 > LT ON IHE BASIS OF PHOTESTANT ASCENDANCY . " The Irish people lrom that moment deserted their Protestant leaders , and established the Society of United Irishmen ; while Charlemont and his faction'directed their untiritg exertion to spoliation and Parliamentary plunder of every kind , making the most of their own independence of England . Their patriotism was never evinced except for the purpose of evincing that independence on their own behalf }
until at length their peculation , delinquencies , plunderiDg 3 f and constant draws upen the temper of the English oligarchy , suggested to the English Minister the plan of gorging them to repletion , the repast to be furnished out of Irish patronage and the English Exchequer . Such , Sir , is the true history of those rampant days of Irish aristocratic Protestant ascendafiey , when the Irish Volunteers , having achieved the triumph of their Protestant taskmasters , laid down their arms in disgust , and betook themselves to a combination of " United Irishmen . "
Bear in mind , then , the fact , that the first Organ ) zation of that body was formed for the purpose , not so much of ridding Ireland of the British yoke , aa to destroy the domestic corruption of the English settlers , who never lost an opportunity of taking advantage of the weakness of their own country , as a means of aggrandising themselves upon the spoil in their adopted land . If you expect to make the Irish people in love with a domestic legislature , you must not hold out the acts or deeds of any previous Irish Parliament as an inducement ;
you must tell them as I tell them—that Ireland never had a Parliament , from the first day that the foreign invader set foot upon the land ; and that Ireland never will have a Parliament until the Commons House of the people , is the true reflex of public opinion : and that will be when , but not till , the Irish people are represented upon all the principles contained in the People ' s Charter . I am , S . r , Your obedient Servant , jFeabgus 0 'Connob .

LEEDS . —Mdsicipal Elections . —Meetings have been holden during the week in the South , North , West , East , and Hoi beck Wards , and addresses delivered by Mr . Boss , on the duties of the working men at the forthcoming election . A good spirit prevails throughout the Borough ; and , if men be brought forward aa candidates who are known to be straightforward and real democrats , there is not the least doubt but that a goodly number will be returned : but if , on the contrary , men are brought forward who are Chartists only at the time of an election , and who afterwards denounce the Chartists and their leaders , then the people will be justified in folding their arms , and allowing the Tories to be returned .
To prevent this , however , ' we hope that the Chartist Committees will look after right men—men who are known to be what they profess , namely , " wholehog" Chartists . If they bring forward men of this stamp , then we can assure them that they will succeed in returning them . We understand that tbe West Ward Committee have already made choice of two to be put in nomination : oae of them has consented to . stand ; and the other has requested a little time to consider of it . We hope that he may return a complying answer . He is a man that has always been ready to give advice ( without fee ) to the Chartist body ; and ; he is one that will prove of great value to them in the Counoil . What is
Hoibeck doing ! What is the North-West about Surely they are not going to allow Whig-Radical Candidates to walk ever , when they have the power to return an out-and-out Chartist for each Ward ! Let them look out for proper men themselves , and not leave it to the Whig Committees . Be prepared with your men at the nomination . The attention of the Chartist Committees is particularly requested to the revision of the Burgess List . It commences on Monday next ; and all persons having been objected to , or having claimed to be on the List , should by all mean&bd present or get some one of their neighbours to prove their votes . This is of the utmost consequence . We hope that the committees will look to it .

DEATHS , j
Drowned while Bathing . —The following paragraph , headed as above , has appeared in an Edinburgh paper : — " Mr . Edward Pollin , of Paisley , — late of the Edinburgh Weekly Chroniclt and Newcastle Courant offices-r-while on his way to London from the latter place , ventured to ] bathe while the vessel was riding at anchor off the mouth of the Thames , and , we regret to add . was anfortunately drowned . The deceased was well known in . Paisley and his death is lamented by not a few who knew his worth . He has written a number of beautiful pieces , several of which have appeared in the columns of newspapers , periodicals , and annuals- "The writer of this knew the deceased before his connection with either of the abovelpapers , at a time
when Mr . Pollin was to all intents and purposes the " leader" of the Paisley Chartists . ] In private life he was all that was amiable and endearing to ( hose who had the good fortune to be ranked amongst his friends ; and the productions of his pen published in the Scottish Chartist Circular \ Scottish Patriot , and other publications devoted to the cause of democracy , testified his ardent love of freedom and his earnest desire for the restoration of the rights of the millions . As a poet , Mr . Pollin gave promise of a bright future , had he lived to duly cultivate his talents and enlarge his mental capabilities . We know not bi 9 age , though be mast have died bat young . Most sincerely do we lament the death of one so highly gifted , and so well fitted to—with i pen of fire' y—

The deceased was a frame-work knitter by occupation , and was the inventor of several important improvementa in his trade . These improvements , however , did not enrich him , for he continued to work in the frame down to last February . From 1778 to 1814 , he was rather noted as a " Jacobin , " and was a prominent character in all elections . When the "Anti-Jacobin" fever was at itB height , Roland was with many others a sufferer for his political opinions . On one occasion he bad his windows broken , damage being done to the amount of £ 25 . lie was also shot at by some of the

Death of Sir Matthew Wood , M . P . —This eaca bighly popular publio character died at MatBon . areax Gloucester , the seat of his poa-in-law , Dr . Maddy , on Monday last . He had been suffering for some time past from water on the chest . He was in his seventy-sixth year , having been born on the 2 ad of June , 1768 . For more- than a quarter of a century Alderman Wood has been one of the most conspicuons members ot the London Corporation . After filling several offioes of losser importance , he was chosen at a comparatively early age an Alderman for hia ward , and was twiw elected to the office of Lord Mayor . He sat in nine successive Parliaments as one of the members for the city of London , in the representation of which his death , of course , causes a vacancy . . On the question of the trial of the late 1
Q , ueea Caroline , the deceasedAlderman took an active and decided par' in support of the Queen , and was in consequence , for a considerable period , the most popular man that had appeared in London since the time of Wilkes . Hig name was a popular watch * word with the " QueenV party , "' and many ft time ^ ja ^ e *^^« 4 f applaudingly by thwe very voices wnWnlffwePBJkine breath were showering groans and curses on the head of that personification of purity , (!) that "Defender of the Faitby U ) Fura the Fourth . " AldeTman Wood was a "Reformer , " that is to aay a Whig , and , as a politician , can only be regarded with contempt ; but the large space he once filled in ' the publio eye justifies thif * lengthened notice , which wo should not think of giving to Whig politicians in general in the columns of tbe Northern Star .
Died suddenly , of apoplexy , on Sunday morning last , John Skene , painter , Manchester , member of the General Council of the National Charter Association . He retired to his bed at half-past eleven o ' clock on Saturday night , and was a corpse by halfpast twelve . He was interred on Wednesday last , in the Rev . J . Scholefield ' s burial greund , in the same grave with Duffy ; the painters testifying their regard to his memory , by accompanying hia remains to the grave in procession . Iu poor Skene his wife has lost an affeotienate husband , and his children a kind and indulgent parent , and the Chartisrs one of their most useful and efficient members . He was highly respected by all who knew him , and deeply lamented by a large cirele of friends .

Since we went to Press we have received the following communication from the Executive pro . tern * By it , it will be seen that Tidd Prvti has refused to do for us , what he has twice before done for others . He has twice before certified that the self-same objects set forth in our rules are in accordance with law . There we hwe mitl He is note- oompellable to do for us what he has done before ; and a Mandamus from the Court of Queen ' s Bench will soou teach him this . Let no one relax for a moment . The Enrolment is sure to be had ! Tidd . Pkatt may think to shove us off ; but he will find himself mistaken .
He will bave a tougher job than he has calculated on . He has already broken ihe law . He is bound by the Act which appoints him to point out what part or parts of the rules laid before him are repugnant to the statutes . This he has not done . This he will have to do ; and he will there hare a job : for he has lefore certified an exactly similar plan , Objects , Organization , Benefits , and all , to be "in accordance with law ' !! We cordially approve of the determination of the
Executive to go on . Lei iWpeople go on , too . Get lists of names ready ; and the other machinery for working out the Plan , as soon as it is enroled ; WHICH IT IS SURE TO BE . TlDD PrATT ' S COndOOtl will only delay it a bit ; and the publicity thai hig conduct will give to our desire to form a lawfui Association , for the prosecution of our lawful Objects—ffcne / ui , even according to his own opinion , formerly certified )—will do ub much good . It will call public attention to what we are doing ; and cause hundreds to join us who otherwise might not doso !
TO THE CHARTISTS . Fbiends—We feel ourselves called upon as yoar elected officers to lay before you the result of our several communications with Mr . Tidd Pratt , the certifying barrister . We called upon him by appointment on Tuesday last , aud received back the copies of our rules , objects , and regulations , with the following notice written upon the margin : — " Certificate refused ;—I am of opinion that the objects of this society , as stated in tbe rules , are not within the provisions of the 10 George 4 c . 56 , as amended by 4 and 5 , William 4 , C 40 . 1 25 th Sept . 1843 . John Tidd Pbatt . "
In consequence of the above notice , Mr . O'Connor called on Wednesday , in compliance with the instructions given by the delegates at Conference , when he learned from Mr . Tidd Pratt'a olerk , that he ( Mr . Pratt ) was prevented by indisposition from attending to the duties of his office . Mr . O'Connor again called by appointment at twelve o'clock today ( Thursday ) , when he learned from the Clerk that Mr . Pratt had refused , and persisted in refusing , to certify the rules of the Association Whereupon Mr . O'Connor wrote to him , complaining of the manner in whioh tbe applicants had been treated , different to all others who applied for similar purposes , ' and requiring more definite and
explicit reasons for refusal than those set forth in the margin , and requiring of him to point out any objection to any particular clause . To that letter we ha \ e have not as yet received an answer ; nor do we hope to have one in time for post to-day . Under those circumstances the duty devolves upon U 3 , after having put you in possession of the above facts to state briefly tha course which we have resolved upon pursuing . We are anxious to bring our objects and rules within tbe strict limits of the law ; while at the same time we are determined that the trickery of officials shall neither deter as from doing our duty or give them that triumph which they anticipated from a
violation of their own . We have the admission of a majority of the Judges that the Charter is a perfectly legal document , and that the people bave a legal right to contend for its enactment . Where then would be the use of its legality or the discretion of judicial opinion , if there was no way under the law whereby it could be legally contended for I We shall be prepared with cards and Charters next week ; and on the following Monday we shall enter upon our officeas an Executive Committee , with the determination of appealing , as we are authorized by law to do , the Middlesex Quarter Sessions against the decision of Mr . Pratt ; aud should we be equally unsuccessful thore , we shall prosecute our appeal to the utmost limits that the law will allow .
Meantime , the Organization under the plan may go on , with no other alteration than merely avoiding the establishment of Branch Associations . We must remain as one general body , arid all your meetings , correspondence , and local arrangements must beheaded and transacted as under the old system ; all , for the present , being members , hot of Branch or District Associations , but of the National Charter Association ; and when our resolution , not to be intimidated , shall have compelled legal functionaries to perform their duty , your several localities will by that time be prepared with the necessary machinery for constituting their Branch Associations and District committees ; Lecturer may be appointed by the several districts jdst as though the rules had been enrolled ; and the missionaries may be appointed by the Executive , as prescribed by the rules .
We are now about to submit the Plan to Counsel , with a case to advise upon ; the result of which we shall be able to lay before you next week . In the mean time we shall flttceed with our labours , feeling assured that this pitiful attempt to crush the people , under cover of the law , will have the effect of rousing them to increased exertion , which will be manifested in applications for Charters and Cards , all of whioh will be ready in the course of next week , together with
books arranged in a uniform manner for keeping the accounts of the Association , and which may b « had upon application to Mr . Wheelwr , No . 24511 , Templebar . . ¦ . ¦ ¦ . ¦ :-... -. " ' ¦> . . ¦ For the tlresent , localities may apply for Charters , as prescribed by tbe tales , while in the terms under which those rules will be transmitted by the Executive there will be a slight variation discernible , as they will be granted not to branches but for the enrolment of members of the general body . Signed , Philip M'Gbath , President , Feargus O'Conner , Treasurer , Thomas M . Wheeler , Sec . N . CA .

with" the English people" 11 J In denouncing Eng-: lish prejudice agaiBst the Catholio people of Ireland , ; why had you not the manliness to told this Cobden : up as the xeviler of our country , the defamer of her I people , and the denouncer of th ' eir religion ? Why ask us to follow at his baek , to cheer MminhiB follies , and to aid him in his projects f Why feel so tenderly towards him and his order , not one of whom that would not resist your agitation to the I death ; while to dignify and glorify them , you heap [ slander upon millioHB whe hs . veresolved upon aiding j the Irish people in their noble struggle for liberty . i The fact is , Sir , you court weakness , and dread 1 Btrength 1
If I felt inclined to raply to your charge against me for having proposed the "Sacred Month , " I need I bnt turn to a sisgle passage in that speech from 1 which I have quoted \ and there I find you actually j urging the possibility ef the Irish people having i recourse to what , with reference to me , you call" an j absurdity . " You say— " Supposing that the plans ; now proposed for the achievement of our national I regeneration were faotiously thwarted and defeated , j mijiht not the Irish people acknowledge the WIS-; DOM of betaking themselves exclusively to their ; potato crops , xkd ieavikg the hahvjbst of Ibej i . am > cscut" 1 Here , then , § ir , . we . lind thai expe . j diency changes English absurdity into Irish WISng OM . j YJOB ^ propaeo , a * acr «* hoUdoy , but a FStMXi ' CESSATION t > F LABOTJB IN IXELAM ) ; for as Ire-• land is wholly an agricultural country , if the harvest of 1813 was left nncnt , 1844 wonld be a year of
total cessation from labour . But even this foreboding of another year ' s delay to the great question of Repeal , is not so ominous as the following : — " The resolution for the non-consumption of excisealle articles was > ot now proposed , nor would it until a more URGENT EMERGENCY should arise ; but , then , he was very far from saying that it nrieht not be proposed ONE S&Y OS OTHER . " Now , Sir , as an ardent lover of Irish liberty , anxionsly desiring to see the Act of Union repealed , I ask you how I am to reconcile the
"URGENT NECESSITY / ' and the " ONE DAY OS OTHEBJ' and * ' THE ALLOWING AN IRISH HARVEST TO E . EZKZAIK TJNCUT , " with your solemn declaration that ihis , 1843 , should be the " REPEAL TEAE" ?! Even yet , Sir , with such stroDg feelings , of indignation , and such alarming forebodings of retreat , 1 am doi disposed to weaken your hands ; while i have bo inclination to sit tamely Hnder jour tyranny , of which the foregoing is but the beginning .
I defy you to point to a similar instance of resignation under Elander , to that which I have evinced towards you . I have allowed you to deal uninterruptedly in , shallow personal inTective . I have allowed the distaat yelpiBgs of your cowardly staff to pass by me as tbe idle wind . I bave endeavoured not only to account for , but to justify your devious and meandering course : upon the presumption that ihe end to be obtained being great , it justified even your means for accomplishment . But , Sir , when I discover that your intention now is to sow the seeds of dissension more profusely than ever between the
English and the Irish peeple , 1 cannot longer abstain from pointing OHt the errors of yonr way , and the folly of such as undertaking . J am no political troficker ; and therefore I neither cenrted nor sought ; , your approval of my conduct ; while now , 1 am justified in asking , if the publication and dissemination of Ireland ' s wrong was , as you have stated , necessary for the achievment of Ireland ' s rights , now happens it , disseminatator of knowlege , redresitr of grievances , Liberator of Ireland , " that while the Argus-eye of yonr several associations was abroad searching the English press for even toleration of vour principles , and the admission of your lion 01 your principles , * bu loe aumibaiuu 01 jruur
] i J ] ! ; j ; ! grievances , that it never lit upon a single line iu I that paper ( ihe Northern Star ) which has illumi-) sated the mind of England , and is illuminating the 1 mind of Ireland , even amid the gloomy atmos-I phere that yon have cast around ? From the { moment that that paper was established , now nearly I six years , English prejudice bfgan to fade , nntil at ¦ length Englishmen are as mnchah've to Irish Eufferi ings as they are to their own grievances . In 1841 , t- » rben tfcewiete press of " £ ngiaud assailed you , and while I was a captive in the felon ' s dungeon , Icontended against the English press ; and from that I period down to tbe present , I have never loft an I opportunity of advocating the claims of the Irish [ people to liberty and independence ; while since the ' reeent agitation commenced , can you point out
amid yonr cuckoo-press a case so strong , and arguments so convincing , as I have adduced in favour of a repeal of the Union !! No , Sir , I defy you ; and 1 now proudly inform yon that the hand that writes this letter has written nearly every . single leading article that has appeared in the Northern Star , upon Irish affairs and a Repeal of the Union . The charge of physical-force made against me in your speech is beBt answered by tbe qnotations that stand at the head of this letter . But if I required g trengef proof , or if I would condescend te » Tgue
against the right of an oppressed people to have recourse to arms for their liberation , I could multiply instances from your recent speeches which , gloss them over as you may , are threats of physical-force . Did not your son , Mr . John O'Connell , in repJy to Mr . Connor , say , that if the alternative should come , the leaders of your Association should take the lead in a physical encounter" ? I should not for a moment , nor indeed do I now , dwell angrily upon those puffs , was it not necessary to remind you of the old adage that one man may steal a horse , while another dare not look over the wall /'
In the speech , however , to which I allnde , you charge me aud the English Chartists , as you have frequently charged us before , with the crime of being Tory spies , in the pay of the Tory government ; and that our opposition to Reform has now extended itself to Ireland . Yes , Sir , voh have stated that the same men who followed Cobden went to the Tara meeting for the purpose of creating confusion . You have stated many times that those men were in the pay of the Tory Government , and that I was their leader ; you have fnrtLer connected them with the whole Cuartistbody by stating" the Repealers could now see how the cause of Reform has been put down in England by the interference of persons pretending
to be Chartists ; " and you sweeping add " fob the Ht&T TBXJiarLR OF CHABTISM WAS NOT TO ALLOW AJfT FCBL 1 C MEETING TO TAKE FLACK CNDISnrRBED . " And then . Sir , as I before ob-erved , yon sJily iatrodnce Feargus O'Connor as " ihe wretch who should be dragged to the scaffold . " As the good opinion of my countrymen is dearer to me than life itself , 1 challenge yon to the proof . You say , "it must be probed to the bottom . " For years yen hav « mixed my same up with vile transactions , until at length you have associated it with " the scaffold" . Sir , although I have not many friends in your association , yet have I that firm reliance upon Irish
honour snd integrity , that I am willing to aid in this desire&blc and necessary investigation ; a > d , to 3 hjlt eo ) , 1 dare you to the pkoof . i ttkde&iax £ , if your whistler" or your " oorre&pondeut" dare to mix my name up with sneb an . act of treason , to meet tou as my prosecutor , wiih your witnesses in yonr own eourt , ik the Cobn Exchange , and to submit the qnestion to animpartialJury of Irishmen . And upon behalf of the English Chartists , as a body , I undertake that they will give every facil ity to the investigation ; and that upon their part they will disprove that any one of their body has everTeceived i > ay , or been the hired tool of the Government , or any other faction .
When it serves your purpose to TevOe us , we are a weak and insignificant body , bnt when it suits > ou to charge ns , then every Englibhman , as if by magic , -becomtB a Chartist . Sir , I now propose to meet my assailants singlehand . I DAXBTOU , AND THElfc TO P £ OVB ONB SINGLE . id OF treachert against me ; unless indeed there is treachery in having preserved the consistency for many years , that presents an unbecoming mirror to those who see their own delinquencies reflected m it . Tou shall not put us dotcn .
