THE RUSSELL FAMILY . . . One of the delegates , in , his speech to the people at KenDiogten Common on Monday , ( old them that Lord Wm .

Then , tuna the Commonwealth ; after . which
same tho restoration of the Stuarts , in the . person ol Charles . Hi . The Tories'having Intrigued with General \ Ionk , succeeded In gamrbg over the array , - and ; th'iis was accomplished the restoration of the Stuarts / ' Ch ' arJes II . tried all he could 'for the restoration of Popery ; and the BuBsells , -ia the person . of : Lord Wm . Russell , tried ' nil they could , against it , in faor of again , haviog their illgotten booty brought Into danger . In this etruggje Lord Wm ' . Kasaell lost his be ^ d . The' cojinfi 1 / must see > that tUa death of this iirdividnal baa no coaaesien whatever with the causeof p ' opular . liberty ; and yet the people have for years—Bay , for a couple : of . centuries—been deluded by this family into tha belief that one of its members lost bishead . Ip struggling for the liberties ; of the people , So much for the death of Lord W . Raiieli . . . ;
Not very many ^ earB after this , another of the . Russellj came en the stage in the periori of theD ' nke of Bedford , who figured in t&e days of James . This duke bad boen horsewhipped in public , by an attorney named HumpbricB , ^ hich was said to haro been done with equal justice , severity , end perseverance . The king , was ' . told the French had ' a drubbingfrom Hawke , but notundcrstanding ' the word ' drabbing- , asked Lord Cbesterflel 3 for an explanation , ^ ero comes the D uke of Bedford . ' who rttas just eHtering the room where the king was , said Chesterfield , ? he can give jou a better explanation than I can . . There was hardly a corner of . the king ' s " dominions , "' in which his life was net in danger seme time er other . Every town which he was obliged to p eas a * did so stsnltbily . Haiw feared and hatod by the people , that hia life waB frequently In danger , and
his palace was . often attacked . by the populace . His avarice . and ambition knew , no bounds , and he ; di » gnated the whole nation , peers and commonsrB , with bis political duplicity and treachery . He was openly oaargedwitBi selllDg for monsy the intereatsofEDgiand to Franc ? , and the pebple be grossly p lundered / Insulted , and oppressed , and he so badgered , teased , worried ; and paralysed the king , his master ^ by tho ; a pplication of the most disgusting epithets to him In fcU presence , and without any justification ,, that when he departed , the king long suffered ie the . most pitiable convulsions . TbiBman was like the secretary of Ciaudlan , who abused his trust ond the infirmities of his ' master , and plundered the citizsns of Rome ! to enrich himself ; but not like him in his ex ' for the other world , for he was permitted to die a natural dea'tb , while the . avaricious ., and tyrannical Roman waa made to die by . hU own hand .

We now comedown to the Rug « oll 6 of the present day , and wo shall look at the character of tbe man who now represents this ftmiiy—that in ; his ' public ¦ characterthat is , the character he cares nothing about ; therefore , we aro allowed the privileg ' epf speaking freely of him , and about him , without any fear of molestatloa whatever . The present prime minister of England is now deputed to take bare of the family interests—bis own included . Wo now ask what the . late Duke of Bedford , hu father , lift him ^ o live upon , and to support tbestate and dignity of sp near a connexion to the dacol head of the family . If tho law of primojenitura gave everythiag to the present duke , ' it would appear that the public were to be hanied over to Lord John for his patrimony , which he was to farm and manoge to the best advantage for himself .

Mr M , Jr ^ . O'CoNHEttproceeded to-state that he beiiered , that , Dotwitbataading : the vleleiit language held by ssmeparties in Ireland , there was' still a considerable fund of good feeling towards this country ,
Mr O'Conkok said : Had it not been for the wanton and uncalled-for acquiescence of the honourable member for Kerry ( Mr M . J . O'Cohnell ) in all the provisions bfthe ' - 'WHIG TREASON Act , he should have confined his observations to the merits of that enactment j but as , 3 n ; his opinion , the greatest of all cruelties was the punishment of the child for the evil teaching ; of the parent ; and visiting him with ceereion for following wbat he bad been taught in infancy ; , : what had been-instilled into him in youth , and- had grown with his youth ; and , 'therefore ; while the hon . member would now ascribe the enthusiasm , turbulence , and disloyalty of the Irish , to the ,-exciting speeches of those who had learnt their
political creed from , the great master who , held their confidence , moulded . their minds , and swayed their doctrines , it . may . flot , at sucb ' acnsisj aR . d after such a speech , be . inappropriate or put of season ,. to remind 'the hoik n ? eoiber for / Kerry who ; as a pupil , sat oa the first form in the national school , of the teacher , his departed ' relative—( hear ,, hear)—and then the ' house would be : 'able to judge of' thesource'frora whence the Irish-people bad imbibed their philosophy ^ of sedition , ' ^ nd'reliance upon physical f 6 rce , asj the ultimate means pf achievihg their country ' s liberty ., ( Hear , hear . ) The'lale Mr O'ConheH , who was a lip professdr of moral force , told the peaceable peopleiof England to let him have a petition signed'by
< 500 , 000 FIGHTING men , and to let the house ksowithat : the petitioners i were determinedto fight ; and then their hutnhle prayeriwdv ) d' be attended toi ( Hear > hear . ) Now , that- was . i moral force vmh a vengeance . At the monster meetings in 1843 , the ' great , advocate , of moral , force told the congregated millions that he had at his command a larger amount of physical force . than any living , monarch . ( HeaiY hear . ) Well , that . VwQS moral force ,, when it served tbe . 'WhigSj ( Hear ,. hear . ) The great schoolmas'ter told his . pliant -dupes that his arm , was . yet young enough towield the sword in the accomplishment of Irish hatib . hality . ( Hear , . 'hear . ) . ' Again he swore , ' tliat He would rather- see Ireland ' s streams running
blood ; and her , green Jjelds crimsoned with Irish gore , ' , than see her linger under the yoke of Irish despotism : ( Hear , hear . ) Now , that was the moral force teaching of the great master ; 'teaching tolerated by the Whig Minister—because experience taught him that it would be turned to Whig account . ( Heat ,- hear . ) Well ( -tW ' effect of these speeches upon the susceptible-mindfof an- oppressed aridjinsulted people ; was well known to -the government ^ because .. the ; hen . ¦ member for .. Liskeard ; ( Mi C . Buller ) had warned them that -Inland wotildretoaib in an incipient state of orevolution ; during Mr O'Connell ' s life , and wou ld ¦ -burst into open rebellion upon his death . Well /; the government 'had this
ample warning ; yet , they made not the slightest ; attempt ; to . suppress ; this growing hostility , which they . had : fostered . by patr . onage , ' till now they , ' ; would brand as felons the : pupils who had been thus instructed ' In the art of moral warfare , ( Heaiy . hear . ) Those at whom the TREASON ACT was aimed would , lie equally cherished if they-were equally treacherous and . false . So much for the moral forte training of the' Irish mind , and now for a word as to the discipline of the English people . A noble lordi'in another place ( Lord Brougham ) , gave s legal ] ' constnictioh of the Whig Treason Act , 'by ' which the proprietor ' s , editors , and
reporters of newspapers , who published the sedition spoken in that house , would be subjected to ti ' ansportation for -life —( Ittoghter)—but he ( Mr O'Connor ) invited : any . man of ( iommon sense to peruse the answer of " the . journalist , ' which appeared ; in the Times of yesterday , and he would seeirom ihe comment that ; the law of . the journalist was niore sound than , that of , the , ex-Chancellor of . England ; but let the . opinion of thatnoble . lord ; andhis . { Jure devofion to the . t | irone ,: now . becontrastedwith : bis opihion ' and ' devotion' of former days .

That hdb ' le lord , when canvassing th ^ sw fiet Voices of . ths . electors of the ^' est Riding , of'Yorkshirei . aiid ' when ' fired by the electrifying enthusiasm ' of the three GLORIOUS DAYS IN PARIS , told the ; a ^ seinbled' thousands of tb ! e loyal people of Englandtbat he hoped it ' h ' e day was not far distant when all kings' heads would roll in the gutter , '' and become ' . foot-balls' for the amusement of boys . ( Heari hear . ) Now , that was the moral force ; teaching that the English and
Irish people received from the dearest of Irish agitators , and from ih ' e keeper of the king's conscience . ( Hear , hear . ) Thus he showed that there was suf . ficient warning of the coming time and the way they met famine , pestilence , disease , and death , for forty-eight long years , was by martial law , coercion , suspension of the Habeas ' Corpus Ac " , and all the other appliances at the command of a strong , ah insolent , and tyrannical ., government . They rewarded the treasonable demagogues with patronage and the woolsack , when ; treason was a profitable commodity ; but now that the pupils could Ebt be seduced , they were branded as felons . ( Hear , hear . ) Of all patriotism , save hinv ( Mr O'Connor ,
from theardourof the paid patriot . ' ( 'Hear , hear , ) from Mr M . J . O'Coiineili . )\ The hoh . member for Kerry cheers ; but it applies to his relative , as it was his ( Mr . O'Connor ' s ) boast to say , that he never had and never would receive a farthing for his services , public or private . ( Hear , ' hear . ) The paid patriot was ,.. ' a ' , ; ju ' ggler , and common ^ showman , who , when- he exhausted one set of puppets , replaced them with others to attract his gaping dupes . ( Hear , hear , and . cheers . ) He ( Mr O'Cpnr nor ) contended that bold speaking and violent speak * ing were as much an integral portion of the constitution as that house was . Now , ' reference to allusions made to the English press ' and its
misrepresentation of Irish suffering and Irish violence , he would give the house a most striking instance . During the sittings before the recess , the servant one morning came into his ( Mr O'Connor ' s ) sitting , room , at his hotel , and said' that a gentleman ' was very anxious to see h'ifil fora moment ; A relative of the noble lord the . member for South Staffordshire i was present ; afii honourable a gentleman as liv ^ d . The stranger , was , shown up , and he would give not the substantial , but the literal conversation . He . said : 'Sir , I amgoing to , Ireland as commissioner for the morning paper , and ' l thought ,,. perhaps , I : might be of . service to you . I am gping to the disturbed diistricts ; ; * Well ' Sjaidl / 'J Vou will 1

' ( Hear , hear . ) . Now , ibis he was prepared to prove on the testimony 6 f-an honourable and high-minded gentleman , who at the time expressed his horror and'disgiist . '( Hear , hear . ) Well , those were the impressions underwhich'that"house legislated not only . for Ireland . but for , England . He would now turn-to the apologdtid speech ' of the hpn . member for Kerry on behalf of the noble lord John
Russell . Construe that , speech as'the House'wpiild , it was a . declaration . 'of war -against , tlie Repeal of Union , and he would prove it . Lord Althbrp , when Chancellor of the Exchequer ; declared that'if at any time a majority of the Irish people' should desire a repeal of that measure , it would be the duty ofpaN liament to concede it . ' ( Hear ; hear . ) Well then , how now was that appeal to be met , either , by transportation for life or by force of arms ; how ; under the present reign of' terror , could the voice of the majority be ; , brought to bear uponthat house , after the warlike-declaration ol the noble lor < 3 ) He
told the house that not ' a majority . only , but that nine-tenths of the people of . both countries , would demand a Repeal of theActof Union , ; whatever the " resistance may . hel ¦ ( Hear , hear . ) For himself , he ever had been and he ever would be opposed to physical force , because he felt convinced that an united moral ' struggle -would compel , ^ ny . gov ernment to yield to the' wishes of an pverpowering majority . ( Hear , . hear . ) He was " opposed ' to physical force , because ; ' he ¦ had ever found that . the last shot of ; victory was followed by the substitution of one despotism 1 for another . ' ( Hear , ; hear . ) ' Such had ; , heeri the . position of ' JJraricV , ' . ' ia-. i 830 , , and although he was as much opposed to the principles of ; Gommunism as any other man , he regretted to find'the French . goy ^ rhment ; . attempting ' to suppress by . terror what would , fall before opinion . ( Hear ,
hear . ) Persecutioneyer winged the arrow of the persecuted ' , ari ^ . abeh b ^ gan ^' to . sid | with the . oppressed : ( heaiv ' neay , ) without ; ianvassing their opinions- as ' calmly as ^ they would if judgment . was allowedto . take Us qoiiraeV" \ He woijld again cite theinstaheeof thenob ' lelord ( Beaucharap )/ who was attempted to . be hounded on against the Land Plan . 1 , ' said that nobleman , " ' if , it , is , bad , let it' burn it , self . o , ut ; if ' it ' iSj goo ^ iet . it succeed ; but let it have a ' fair trial . ' ( rijeark hear , and cheers . ) He jvoiild now call' the attention ^ . of the house to the three leading propositions in ' the able , the eloquent , and statesmanlike speech of'the-hon . member for Buckiiig ' harashire . oii Wednesday last ; on the subject of the inya ' sipn of ' a p ' ortipn ' of , the King of Denmark ' s territory by theKing of Ptussid / and , he would invite the close attention of the house to the
arguments contained in tba {; speech , and the prudence of granting concessions to , justice rather than to fear . ( Hear , hear . ) The'three' propositions of the lion . , member for Buckinghamshire were . ( Order , order . ) ' : '• ' ; j The Speaker said , the hon . member-cannot refer to a former debate . : . ' ' v : Mr O ' Connor : Oh ! then I will raise three propositions myself . ( Hear , aud laughter . ) And they shall be . as similar . to .. those of the . hon . ' member for Buckinghamshire as . words , and meraary-can make them . ( Laughter . ) : ; The ' . first is the . lfaqt of the King ^ f-Denmark , impelled ^ by . the moving genius of the age , having conceded a . free csnstitution to his
people ,: whjje the King . of- Prussia , who now so heroically invaded his ¦ dominion ^ was compelled to surrender to fear and force ! of . ' . arms .. what he , had refused to justice ' . ( Hear , " hear . ) The conclusion to be drawn ' from this fact is ,. tKat ' what gbverriirierits and ' in ' onarchs tardily grantisurfgraciouslyreceived , arid , coming too late , but whets the ^ appetite for further reform . The next ' p ' roposiiSoh ' isj' that , it is improper for the noble lord , the Secretary : 'fbV Fo- > reign Affairs , to keep this house and the country in a perfec ' t ' Btate- of ignorance ' as to his policy , until driven to prenijature , action he is compelled to make a hasty-appeal to " a pam crBtricken ' assembly . ( Hear , hear ;) . Weil , but see the exact parallel befwee ' n ' the foreign " and domestic' policy of the
government ; , . Surely- the ' voice ; . of ' discontent abroad has been . sufficiently explicit to convince this 'house of ; 'lh ' e ; dissatisfaction out of doors , and' yet tKe ' press ' . and , ' government have kept this house in aistateof perfect ignorance until panic was foecessaryto . irisurfe ' the ai 4 . ot the afFnghted to suppress the voice of ' the . discpnten ' ted . ' The third proposition—namely , England ' sobligation to observe the treaty of 1715 and 1720 as regards Denmark , that proposition tb « j noble . lord ( Palvaevstqn ) answered , as the right lion , gentleman , the member for the University of Cambridge had reconciled the inequality in the Land Tax , by . shoeing that two inequaliities ihade ' an equality , - just as the noble lord had stated that he would wait to hew the resolution of
France , who was a party td the treaty , thii 3 establishing the principal that two violations constitute aniac tof'BationaLfaith . ' ( Hear ,-hear . ) This was the policy by which . England had been governed by the Whi gs * but-ifrjiras his ( Mr F . O'Connor's ) consolation to . knownj ! lthat ; such . a , tfnion between the middle and the working classes , was being formed as would drive the . Whigs , from office , and once more reduce , them , to their proper . dimensions' and then , as the right hon . baronet ( Sir li . Peel ) had paid , him ( Mr O'Connor ) the compliment , of wishing that when the sovereign of his choice was on . the throne , he would'have the confidence of his soverei gn—( Great
laughter)—he , in return , begged leave to assure the right hon . baronet that bis best services should be used for his promotion to the office of Prime Minister ; as he was distinguished by , stability and ingenuity , for those ' qualities ; which constituted ihe essential qualification ' s for ' thb adviser of his Satanic Majesty . ' ( Greatlaughter . ) ' He regrettedthat the right hon . baronet was not present to receive this assurance of his ( Mr O'Connor ' s ) good iriten tion , b ' ut the right lion , baronet appeared to forget thathe ( Mr ' . O'Connor ) once had statedif this bill passed , the Attorney-General would be Prime Minister , while every onein that bouse , was aware of the existence of an
important official , called the , Attorney-General's Devil . ( Great laughter . ) . ¦ . Therefore , . without any strange analogy the : Attorney-General would rule the country , and . . the . Devil would ru , ie the Attorney-General . ( Laughter . ) He would now ( , in conclusion , tell the ri ^ lit hqin . baronet Sir George Grey , that he andhis associates were tiaitors to their sovereign—traitors t ) their principles—traitors to the people— and traitors to the constitution .
