IRISH ELECTION REMINISCENCES . TO TIIE EDITOR OF THE DAILY XEWS . Sir , —I shallnow proceed with a sketch of lie Dungarvan election of 1831 . I say a sketch , as a complete narrative-would occupy jour entirespace . On the 29 th of April , 1834 , the House of Commons divided upon the motion of O'Connell for a repeal of the union , thenumbers being—aves 38 ; noes 523 . We
, , did not anticipate the support of a greater number , nor did the government imagine that we should have secured so many ; however , as Ireland then constituted the government ' s ** greatest difficulty , " they determined to turn the result to the best account ; and npon the following day , the government and tiieir supporters presented the resolution in person to his Majesty , and subsequentl y upon the same day took then- seats in their court dresses .
This was considered a great triu-nph over O'Connell and the Repeal party . In a very few days after and before the Whig enthusiasm had abated , the election for Dungarvan toot place . On the Sunday previous to the day of nomination , I received a message from O'Connell , expressing a wish to see me at his ovm house upon most urgent importance to him and to Ireland . I waited upon him in the evening , when he told me that the defeat of Mr . Jacob at the approaching election for Dunjrarvan would he
the death-blow to Eepeal . He said , " My son John is going to accompany Jacob , but , my dearFeargus , his presence will be of little avail without your assistance , —will you go ; as we have to contend against the Devonshire interest , the Beresford interest , the government interest , and strong local interest , as well as prejudice ? " I immediatel y replied , "I will go , and return him against all interests ; " and upon that night * Mr . Jacob , John O'Connell , and myself , started by coach to Bristol , and thence by steam to Watcrford .
We entered Dungarvan shortly before the nomination in a carriage and four , and were mot by an immense number of the population fiom the surrounding districts . I appeared as counsel for Jacob and general agitator . Pursell 0 'Gorman , now an assistant barrister , and some other professional gentlemen , were cannsel for George Pierce Barron , the opponent of Mr . Jacob- Mr . Galway , formerl y member for Dungarvan , and agent for Messrs . Beamish and Crawford , brewers , and possessing immense influence , was the most -virulent opponent of Mr . Jacob , and the most enthusiastic
supporter of Mr . Barron . The town was occupied with troops , and an immense police force , the latter commanded b y Mr . Jones , a stipendiary magistrate , and a Tiolent supporter of the Whig Government . On the hustings Mr . Jacob made a speech . a most ferocious speech , which considerably shook the confidence of many of our supporters and I at once discovered the awful difficulties against Tririchl had to contend . Mr . Jacob , John O'Connell , and myself , together with many other supporters of Mr . Jacob , were very hospitably entertained at the house of a Mr .
Power . We dined together after the nomination , and upon Mr . Power asking John Council to take wine with him the gentleman who sat next me inquired most anxiously , " Is that the Liberator ' s son ? " Ireplied , "Yes . " He rejoined , " Oh , what an abortion ! Wh y did you bring him with you ; he'll ruin us V Well , aot to weary the reader with details , 1 will now proceed to describe our mode of proceeding . Many votes hun ^ upon the
life of Lord Burlington , and the voters being perfectly aware that the Devonshire interest was in favour of Pierce George Barron , were very naturally deprived of the free exercise of the franchise . I saw the difficulties against which our party had to contend , and therefore I was aware of the energy that was necessary to overcome them . I remained to a late hour of each night jigging , dancing , telling stories , and laughing in the different public-houses where the voters were assembled . In the
morning , open jaunting cars were despatched by the opposite party to bring up their outvoters . I had a staff at every entrance , and remained myself at the principal one ; WC stopped every car , and explained the nature of the contest to the voters , the majority of whom were under the influence of the agent of the Dote of Devonshire , and were under the impression they were voting for his grace . The weather was literally melting . There was an iron-gate at the entrance to the pollingbooth , which was guarded by police with fixed bayonets . The police were commanded by the stipendiarymagistrate , Mr . Jones , who I subsequently proved in the House of Commons to have acted in the most partial and unjustifiable
manner . Many and mauy a voter did I carry on my back through the street under the broiling sun , and many a stand-up fight I had in the streets with respectable parties who endeavoured to smuggle my goods , but I never lost my man . Upon one occasion I was carrying a big fellow upon my back , when his wife followed and said , " Wisha , Jim , you'll get £ o if you'll come and vote the other -way , and shure the cbilder are starvin . " Upon hearing this appeal I quickened my pace , when the anxious mother rushed forward , made a grab at her husband , caught me by the waistband of the trowsers , and split them literally in two , she retaining the largest half of the spoil .
The soldiers , who were my greatest friends m consequence of the brutal conduct of the police , and a large number of whom were present , burst into roars of laughter , I ran away with my man half naked as I was , and , in spite of the bayonets of the police , I polled him . In this manner I contended against the fearful odds opposed to me , keeping pretty even with my opponent until the fifth and last day of the eletion , when the news of the death o ' f lord Burlington arrived , a circumstance calculated to have a considerable effect upon over forty voters , yet unpolled tenants of the
Duke of Devonshire , and whose holdings were dependent upon his life . When this news arrived the committee were assembled at Mr . Power ' s . They began to despair of the result , which they said would have been different if I had allowed some money to be expended . I replied that I would rather lose the election than carry it by-the castiug-Yotejof a bribed man . We had some angry words . I dissolved the committee , and said I would be responsible for the result myself . I immediatel y called for pen , ink , and paper , and wrote a letter not in the terms in which John Council ' s is couched , but as follows : —
Jlr bear Sib , —I beg to inform yon , although it is private that it is not the int ention of his Grace tlie Uuke of Devon ! Shire to exercise auy iuHuence over Iris tenants trat if lie was inclined to do so , it would be in favour of Mr Jacob although his grace is not a repealer . This would be Ms course , because lie likes fair plav . Your obedient Servant , Ebexezek Humbug . I handed the letter to a trustworthy man , and told him to bring it to me when I WQ 5 addressing the people in the market-place , before the polling commenced . I said , "Do you come upon the hustings ; I'll put the letter in my pockety but do you press me to read it . "
He came with the letter as I was in the middle of my speech , and did press me to read it . I was obliged io read it three times . The effect was electrical , and in less than an hour after the polling had commenced we polled every one of the waverers , which , I think , placed Mr . Jacob forty-two er forty-three above his opponent In the evening the ' streets were covered « itfc lighted tar barrels , and I being as enthusiastic as man could be , and more active than most men , to the great delight of the spectators jumped over every one of the blazing tar barrels—in fact , it would be utterly impossible to describe the mad enthusiasm of the people .

it was announced that Colonel Cony , agent to the Duke of . Devonshire , had suddenly come into town ¦ I Bloody with spurring-fiery red with haste ! in a perfect storm of fury against a forgery which ' he had been informed had occurred of his name to a pretended letter-from . him , authorising his principal ' s tenant ? tovote according to their consciences . He indignantly denied that he ever had got , and therefore denied that he ever had transmuted , any such permission from his Grace SflhS ^^ fSfflss ^ sw Se Ifsifpii tovcndSThSt m ?» % an > i suborlllna te of the house of
> iow the above is as correct a specimen as John Connolihas furnished of other facts , the me being that I never saw Colonel Cumthat I never had a line from Colonel Currythat I never had a message from him in my life , J As I before stated , the admissibility of every voter in Ireland is argued by counsel . The returning officer at this election was a perfect old woman , while Furcell O'Gorman , the counsel for Mr . Barron , and formerly secretary to the Catholic Association , was a very shrewd fellow . Upon one occasion he cited the Road Act , 36 Gco . III ., as a legal disqualification
agaiust a great number of voters . He knew it was all moonshine , but the assessor listened to him -with great patience and at considerable length , and then turning to me said , " Mr . O'Connor , don't you think that that is a very valid objection ? " I replied , "Decidedly , if the Act had not been repealed . " "By what statute said he ? " " By the nin&thousandth nine hundred and ninety ninth of Nebuchadnezzar the King of the Jews , which I have not with me , but it is in my portmanteau , and which is just as applicable to the case as the Road Act cited by my learned friend . " "la it to Mr . O'Gorman ?'' inquired the assessor . Mr . O'Gorman laughed , and gave up the point .
Just before the election had concluded Purcell O' Gorman said to me in a great rage , " However the election may terminate we know the fellow that forged Colonel Curry ' s name ; we have sent to Lismore to arrest him , and we are determined to prosecute him for forgery . " Ireplied , "Now , O'Gorman , don't you be so vindictive to your own relatives ; the ¦ writer of that letter , as you will admit , when you see the name , has been your best friend and your nearest relative . " I showed him the letter ; he read it , laughed most heartily , and exclaimed , "A fair dodge ! A capital dodge ! You have done it , Feargus : I thought there was no chance for you . "
When I returned to London , O'Connell embraced me . " Oh , " he exclaimed , " what a glorious triumph for Ireland and Feargus : both John and Jacob informed me that no one but you could have beaten the enemy . " In conclusion , I have merely to state that Mr . Crampton , then Solicitor-General for Ireland , and now a Judge , had forwarded £ 200 , and promised £ 300 more if required , to aidinnjturningPierce George Barron ; that I arraigned him , the present Lord Stanley and other parties connected with the Government , in the House of Commons , for their unjust interference with the Dungarvan election ; that Mr . Lyttleton , then Secretary for Ireland , undertook to defend them , but utterly failed and broke down .
In my next I will give you an account of the opening of the great county of Cork in 1832 , and the difficulties against which I had to contend ; and I shall continue the series until I put your readers in full possession of all tactics and manoeuvres connected wita Irish elections . Your obedient servant , Feargus O'Connor .

PUBLIC MEETING FOR TIIE ELECTION OP DELEGATES TO TIIE ENSUING CHARTIST CONFERENCE FOE FINSBURY , A public meeting was held at the Assembly Rooms , Theobald ' s-road , on Tuesday evening , November 20 th , for the above purpose . Mr . William Axlmjtt having been called to the chair , said that this movement was not started in opposition to any other at present in existence , but siinply to re-or <* anise the great Chartist body throughout the Kingdom , and for the ultimate obtainment of the great political rights contained in the People ' s Charter . ( Loud cheers . ) The chairman then apologised for the absence of Feargus O'Connor , Esq ., ' M . P ., on tho ground that he was gone to Ireland on a most important mission—that of creating fraternity between the two people . ( Lond cheers . ) He likewise read a letter from Mr . T . Cooper , stating that he should , from his business arrangements , be compelled to be one hundred miles from London , or otherwise he would have been happy to accept their invitation .
Mr . G . \ V . M . Reynolds , who was received with loud cheers , moved the first resolution , as follows : —" That in the opinion of this meeting the present state of the country , the high rate in -which the people are taxed , and the depressed condition of the working classes , require a change in the constitution , which can only be secured by a powerful and energetic agitation for full , free , and fair representation of the whole people in the Commons House oi Parliament , upon the realisation of which depends the future liberty and well-being of the working classes . This meeting further declares , that the establishment of this meeting is not intended in any way to interfere with any association for minor reforms , but solely to secure to the people , in the shortest possible time , a voice in forming the
institutions Tinder which they live . " He said that although a member of the council of the Parliamentary Reform Association , he had ever been an advocate of the glorious principles contained in the People ' s Charter— - ( loud cheers )—and hence he bad seen the necessity of a working men ' s movement to effect that most desirable object . This caused him to take the initiative , and convene the preliminary meeting of acknowledged peoples' friends at the York Hotel , which had eventuated in that and similar meetings , for the purpose of electing delegates to a conference , to reorganise—and , he trusted , to reauimate—the Chartist movement . They were met , and resolved on a peaceful , legal , and moral agitation for their just rights . ( Hear , hear . ) When the glorioxis Republicans were 1
sweeping despotic kings from thenthrones , when fathers were grieved at the sight of their children starving before their eyes , much—very much should bs allowed for those * who had exceeded what was called the bounds of prudence —( hear , hear)—and hence he never had , or would attempt , to cast odium on those who had , or were now suffering imprisonment , or upon the gloriou 3 dead . ( Loud cheers . ) Loving as they did the very name of Chartism , and prepared as they were to stand by every scintilla of Chartist principle , let them be tolerant and forbearing to others . A base press had dared malign that Charter , although they could not adduce one line of argument against its principles . ( Hear , hear . ) We have a party on tho Continent called the partv of "Order , " who are the
reactionaries of society—the Ilaynaus , &c , &c , who are the executioners of the " people and their patriots ; but , notwithstanding this , he must invoke them to peace , ' as they had also a party of " order " m this country , who , with a general or two at their head , would bo but too ready to caunonade the people . { Hear , hear . ) Mr . Reynolds here drew a graphic sketch of the House of Commons , showing that eloquence and sound logic was thrown away upon it ; proselytism was impossible , as men . went there to vote , and not to reason . The minister could always calculate his majority before the vote was taken , and hence the necessity for a reform of that House , in accordance with the principles of the Charter . Then your O'Connors , ihompsons , and Foxs might serve you . The family
name of Bedford would be no longer of any service , as the aristocrats would walk ( Hit Of One door , as the men of the people walked in at the other . ( Loud cheers . ) He believed if they put forth their strength as became men , this great " consummation" could be effected in two years . Liberty appeared navahsed in Europe at present . In France they had a man trying to make an Emperor of himself-in l " russia they had an half idiot—and at Rome they naa the semblance of a crazy Pope . But the Ball of Freedom would again revolve—Libert y would again bo m the ascendant , and then even in this—our Lngland—no minister would he found stron » h to d
enoug keep own the rights of men . ( Great applause . ) Mr . Townsexd perfectly agreed with the previous speaker in the necessity for a moral agitation , and should much like to see a union of the good men of all classes , to effect tho object in view . What a glooming picture did that country whither Mr . O Connor was now gone , present to our view : and yet how often was the glowing picture presented to us of our " empire on which the sun never sets ;" but far better would it be for Englishmen and Irishmen if they Lad a cottage and a bit of land in which to shelter and feed their wires and children The recent letters in the Jforning Chronicle— - " Labour and the Poor "—had ably elucidated and

illustrated " the condition of England's question . " ( Cheers . ) Mr . TownseRd then entered into a disquisition of the means adopted by the spies—Davis and Powell—to entrap the people ; their feelings sharpened by hunger and excessive toil , whilst many of those unfortunates were stitching away in the fumes of arsenic , emitted from the flickering blue light of the guttering candle . He did not wish to excite their passions by appeals to their wretched and forlorn condition , but he wished them to take such steps as should prevent the recurrence Ot such things for the future . Ho would like to work upon the plan of conciliation , and he thought a better Chartist speech had never been delivered than that of Lord Nugent , at Drury-lane . ( Loud cheers . ) Ho invoked them all to press onwavd , and he
believed if they did so they would achieve a strength that would be irresistible . Mr . G . J . Hinsuv , Mnidsl loud applause , came forward to support the resolution , and Bald he could have wished Lord Nugent and others had been really with them ; if they were they should see them at such meetings as these . ( Hear , hear . ) Were the middle classes with them in verity and truth a much closer alliance would have been formed ere this ; the frequently attempted educational and colonial reforms , whilst one woman got more for her support than was awarded fbi- education , and the colonies were still unreformed . Mr . Ilarney showed clearly that wo had no controul over the legislature , whilst the revelations in the Morning Chronicle , relative to " slop workers" "
aericultural labourers , " " clothing colonels" with their £ 8 , 000 per annum , and our " social , or anti-social , state . " These letters will effect more than the philosophy of the Chronicle ever dreamed of . ( Loud cheers . ) A few years ago Englishmen might have been satisfied with the lopping off of a few taxes , and would have lifted the money-changer and the middle-class man triumphantly into the legislature as his representative , but now they would demand "Home colonies ; " and if reforms were delayed much longer they might demand a nationalisation of landed property . ( Loud cheers . ) Mr . Harney here announced the intention of the men of London to hold a meeting to fraternise with Ledru Kollin and his brave compatriots , which announcement
was greeted with tremendous cheering , during which Mr . Harney resumed his seat . The resolution was adopted unanimously . A Gentleman , from tho body of the meeting aaid , he could not see how any Chartist joining the ranks of the Parliamentarians could serve the cause of Chartism particularly , as" the middle classes had been always so ready to put down tho workmg men . He could see nothing honest in tho middle-class movement . He thought the best course was to leave this class to their own weakness , and if they went on hi their old course they would find England , in two years , reduced to the same miserable condition as Ireland . He had lost all confidence in Whigs or their supporters . ( Loud
« , \ ? ' . ° v « ng a resolution to the effect , lliat this meeting agrees with the steps taken , and resolves to proceed to the election of four dele ! gates for the Finsbury district , " said the principles of tho People s Charter were in strict accordance with thnt great moral maxim laid down in the gospel— "Do unto others as you would they should do unto you' -and right pleased was he to find the improvement of the people , as shown by the establishment of numerous Mechanics' Institutions . ( Cheers . ) Mr . E . Nobbs seconded the motion .
Mr . H ™ said , as an old Chartist and an inhabitant of Finsbuvy he disagreed with tho present proceeding . He could not hel p thinking it was something like double dealing &a regards the Parliamentary Reform Association , and working men could not support two movements . Mr . O'Connor had recently recommended the people to ioin and support the Parliamentary Refor-n Association , he would therefore move as an amendment , " That a tonterence at present was unnecessary . " Mr . Parsons seconded the amendment . Mr . R . Fozzok strongly contended for the original resolution . 5
On the question being put tho original resolution was carried with only two dissentients . Messrs . Allnutt , Nobbs , Blake , and Lee , were then put m nomination . Mr . Townsend was also nominated . The election ultimately fell on Messrs . Townsend , Allnutt , Blake , and Lee . ADDRESS TO FUARGBS O ' CONNOR , ESQ ., M . P . Mr . C . IJtiisq then came forward and read and moved the following address to Mr . O'Connor , amidst tho loudest applause : — TO FEARGCS o ' COKKOB , ESQ . , M . P . IIoxotmED Sib , —We congratulate you on your visit to tho land of jour fathers . We remember with gratitude and respect the many yews of energy and unceasing toil jou uave frankly bestowed on behalt of the democracy of our country and the advaucement Of humanity . You have , in a greater degree than most living men , as » polHlcnl teacher , as a journalist and a member of the legislature
, , f AntPfltiitnrl visit sinit * ?« ¦•« . «!_ J TJ __ i » i _*••»• • ¦ . contributed , not only to remind Englishmen of their rights , but also to convince Englishmen that the rights and claims of Ireland deserved their attention , and the struggles of Ireland tor independence demands their energy and support . * ,. We have often seen , with feelings of regret , the support of the Ir « h members m the House of Commons suieidally . bestowed on the enemies of radical reform and progression . Was a Coercion Hill to bo passed-tho Habeas Coi-pus Act suspi-nOca—the liberality of ow country united by an Alien Bill—corruption maintained—taxation increasedthe petition of the people insulted ? Too often ; for their country ' s weal , have the names of English and Irish representatives appeared in the lists on the side of the Ministry , and iu opposition to the best interests of their country ; your name , however , has never been so disgraced , but has always been associated with the Small , but honourable , minority , who have preferred the welfare of the people to ministerial emolument or court favour
We desire the independence and freedom of the sister kingdom ; we love the motto of 'Ireland for the Irish , ' and feel that the shadow of her misfortune and oppression are reflected among us—for England to be saved Ireland must be regenerated . We cannot speak of Ireland as a conquered or a fallen nation ; we see in her a people oppressed , but not suppliant — a noble race struggling personally to Le free . We authorise you , sir , on all occasions that you may deem it necessary , to ofl ' er to your injured and oppressed fellow-countrymen , our sympathy and support , to assure them that we are the true friends of their country ; that we receive Ireland ' s persecuted children as our own brethren ; and that we , in our endeavours to secure a full representation of tho English people in Parliament , will continue to gave to Ireland our constant consideration ; that we solicit the cooperation and support of her patriotic sons , and assure tiiem ttet we are bound to their wellfurcandthc prosperity of their country , i n the bonds of right and fraternity ,
# we look on jour visit to Ireland as auspicious for the best interests of the people ; and adhering , as heretofore , to the People's Charter as our polical creed wo wish you success in your mission on bcnalf of the oppressed of both countries , and on your return we welcome you back to our shores as the long-tried advocate of the interests of your unrepresented brethren , and the friend of universal humanity . Mr . M'Gratu seconded the adoption of the address . He said , all true democrats must wish Mr . O'Connor success in his important mission to Ireland . It was the most momentous event in . his political life . ( Ilear , hear . ) He has gone to bridge that gulph which has hitherto separated the democracies of England and Ireland , and prevented that cordial co-operation essential to success . Mr . O'Connor ha 3 gone to the loved land of his birth , but how will he find it ? Trodden down by ruthless
oppression , —broken in spirit , —blasted in hope , lie is gone to essay no ordinary task . Let us , therefore , from this side of the channel , cheer him on in the glorious work . He goes as the herald of England ' s willingness to extend the warm hand of fraternity to the injured people of Ireland . ( Cheers ) He did not think that Mr . O'Connor ' s success among the Irish leaders would be very great . But let him once get the ear of the Irish people and ho would dispel those mines of prejudice and ignorance which have so long obscured the path to freedom from their view . ( Cheers . ) Mr . M'Grath , in the course of a spirited address , alluded to the munificent conduct of tho late Mr . Jenkins , of Pinner in bequeathing £ 10 , 000 for the purpose of building a Hall in London for the furtherance of the Peoplo ' s cause , and concludod amid tho applause of tho meetins .
The address was then adopted , amidst loud acclamation . A tote of thanks was given to the Chairman , and the meeting quietly dispersed .

——^ NATIONAL TRADES CONFERENCE . This body , pursuant to adjournment , held ita third sitting at the Literary and Scientific Institution , John-street , Tottenham-court-road , on Wednesday evening , November 21 st . Mr . Seagravc , ( operative tailor , ) again filled the chair . After the reading and confirmation of tho minutes , the debate was resumed on the second clause of the " Bill , " which was as follows - . — "And bo it further
enacted , that her Majesty ' s government shall , by , the authority of this act , immediately upon the passing thereof , and by the advice of the aforesaid board of commissioners , causes to bo issued Treasury notes , in such quantities and at such periods as the commissioners may from time to time direct to be issued , to carry on the industrial operations coming within their control and jurisdiction in the formaaion and establishment of the aforesaid Home Colonies . "
Air . Campbell said he should like tho words " purchase of land" to be added immediately after the word issued , so as to make the land a chief feature . Mr . Esseby seconded the clause as amended , which was immediately adopted . The third and fourth clauses , as follows , wore adopted without opposition : — "And beitfurther enacted , that tho aforesaid Treasury notes shall immediately upon the issuing thereof form a portion of the circulating medium or currency of the country , to be given and received in all commercial transactions , to be accepted for tho piiyment of all government or parochial taxes , and all and every other business transaction , and tO become to all intents and purposes the legal tender money of the realm . "
And bo it enacted , that the aforesaid commissioners shall have full power and authority by this act to cause to be enclosed on behalf of the state , all common lands , where it shall appear to the said commissioners that such common lands can be profitably cultivated and usefull y applied tO the formation of Home Colonies , aa contemplated bv this act . ' ' The fifth clause giving power to purchase land from proprietor or proprietors , bv nulilm oi- nrivnfo
sale , was also adopted . The sixth clause making good "title , " too , was likewise adopted . The seventh clause allowing " dwellings , workshops , manufactories , and all other- necessary ' appendages , " to bo built and applied to the further extension and developementof the industrious establishments , contemplated by this act , was then discussed , when Mr . Campbell suggested that schools and education should be added to make the clause complete .
Mr . Esseiit coincided -with the observations of Mr . Campbell . Mr . Isaac Wilson thought that the clause relativo to education and schools should stand by itself , and he would move accordingly that the clause in question should be adopted as it now stood . Mr . Briscic seconded the proposition , and said if they adopted education at all in their " bill , " it Should be specially stated to be secular education Mr . Delaporce thought the first clause was the place where education should be inserted . Mr . Essery thought a few words in the clause under debate would meet the purpose . Mr . Bates would like a fresh clause altogether
and recommended , should Mr . Campbell ' s be adopted , a transposition of the sentence as proposed by him . Messrs . Wilsob and Bmss having withdrawn their proposition , the clause as amended by Mr Campbell was adopted . The eighth clause , " making land once purchased ever after national property , " was adopted without opposition . Clause ninth , " pointing out tho moans of applying to commissioners for employment , or home colonies , " was also adopted .
