¦ fafepen&sntlj of my claim to your attention as fi irishman , I iaTe other grounds -whereon to a nnul a reasonable belief thai at the present mo ~ -gai&B realty sincere and zealous in onr country ' s -nge iriD look for the co-operation of persons of jj shade of politics , and for the assistance of alt -oodmen . I shall firstly , thens addres 3 yon as an jjjgijaan j and my reason for doing so upon the pre-^ occaaon is , to take the vsry earliest oppoijjjjgjy of crashing in the outset thai bad feeling is
^ i once more attempted to be fostered ^ gtreen the English and ihe Irish people . Rot -gisiiing to mate more of this attempt than is merely jgegsary to destroy It , I shall bnt genflj tonch ifcj Is 8 n < Ie , lbeB , to alparagraph -which appeared in some jf Sm Irish newspapers lefemng id the position jjjnehlFeajgns O'Connor and ihe English Chartists jag assumed on the question of the Hepeal of the ^ jjooa . if JQJ conversion to the principle of repeal TU 5 *? recent dale , or if my advocacy of the measure guoeitfestiecamea national guestionwas equivocal , T « Hild weB understand ihe propriety of receiving a
jasij convert if not -with suspicion , at least "with ^ giBn , I could see Tery justifiable reason for ^ Bjjang thought in the minds of the zsaiou 3 and the ggjnned- Bat inasmuch as I have from the outset jgai the most strenuous advocate of ihe measure , ^ nd , as 1 hare rooted its eradle -while slnmbering in jg ^ snd -watched its ivaSng moments "srith the jjjo 3 nervous anadety , and whether crawling as a gjpple , or striding as a giant , I have limped -with its jj $ , or kept pace -with its stride , I am not 5 CS- gains to aSlow any man or any body of ijf jnen to make my advocacy of my country ' s cause
$ a pretext for failure or delay . Ko my eonntryj ^ H j ssl lather land has been but too often , and too jjgjssfnlly made the prey of the spoiler by the jggffllon of Irishmen . I am not one of those , nowper , irho would stand by my country in the calm , ^ ad desert her in the storm . I do not make my own jntalea feeliugs ^ or the sudden shock of execnSve yojrer , a pretext for flying to my country ' s rescue . I iaye Eusuined her cause in the midst of personal jjjgepressnlaliDn asd legal persecution , and ivhe--gia shall I now desert her from dread of Jarther persecution , or embrace the opportunity of jaJaag a cowardly retreat under the iaa ? k of ¦ Rinnfed personal feeling ! I shall do neither the one
or ihff other . 2 ? o ; I Trill bear that persecution jrBcih may be allotted to me Eke an Irishman , and Jangh at spleen like a philosopher . Do not the Irish , in ladr present glorious straggle for liberty , require » fl fiie aid that can be enlisted in their behalf , and jfcfconsh the power of an individual may be bat lagfcij are not yon , my countrymen , -convinced that B > ?""« "was ever honoured -with more of the eon-13 ence of the SigBsh working classes than I can jatmdly boast off Andean you suppose that men siohzre so heroically contended for the rights of BSD , and hare ever found ma amongst the foremost in the Tat&p , "would not look "with snspicion ipon those who "would court weakness by gratifying personal animosity ?
My countrymen , I am an Irish Uepealer , and » Tjiflrfch Chartist . I iras one of three millions fre hundred thousand who advocated your rights tosiHgOTerament ; and the comprehensive and phi-&nhrcpic principle npon ivMch the English ] Charays act is , that "when one of a community is optrssedj the "whole body through Mm is insulted Yon hare many of you witnessed my exertions on Idalf of Ireland fox the last ten years , and how jrondly can I defy yon in the midst of reproach and unmerited censure to point out one word spoken
sr one sentence "written against iheTnterests of my arantry . Surely you mnst have -witnessed the soeere sympathy « f the English working classes for the "wrongs of Ireland , you must have observed the deep interest thai they take in the suffering of onr country , yon must have seen the readisess vrith which they have ever contended 1 st tha ^ dghts of Irishmen , and having witnessed those things you must be convinced that ihey form no portion of that English society which I admit ever >»»* been hostile to Irish interest . Would
jon then rashly nazord the loss of sueh a body ? ox sSL jon -aai , like Irishmen , sbq statesmen , court 2 ierr co-operation to ensure the regeneration of our eommon country i If , as we Isara , the object of the Irish is le enlist the co-operation of the English people , hare you been so blind to passing events as sot to have discovered that the national strength of Eagland is embodied in the Chartist ranks , and that to appeal seetionally to the cool-headed , the temperate , the discreet , the moral force Chartists , or to iseany terms calculated to revive oli animosities , Jinrald have ^ ie efect of etwanging from your cause
those whose opposition appeared zhns to be courted . Bnt my conntrymen , I wnl point out to yon the Etoper eenrse in such an' emergency , the finry which every Irishman under such ciranasiances owes to Ms cocBtry . T 3 ie course then iMeh I shall pursue will be to disarm slander bj increased exertion . To go ou pouriraying my ttBrnin- ' a wroags aud demanding my conntry ' s liberty , sdjug the good in their glorious struggle and leaving the vicious and the bad to be dealt with by ibs * sober mind , the grave of littleness and veugesnee , when that great object which all profess a
fesre te achieve shall be accomplished , and when 1 &e wrongs of Ireland are silenced in a national Tefreasianon of the whole people . Jf , then , in &s absence cf national complaint vengeance shall CsA her tribunal for the trial of petty squabbles , anJ , if I shall "be forced into the lists , I wonld plead 3 Sj whole life 5 pect in devotion to my country and Jarlessl y leave the issue to my countrymen . These * r e times big with importance , and the present fimitgle must result either in complete independence Kin increased tyranny . If Ireland is beaten bow her
SQis are paraBzed for an incalculable period ; upon fe other hand , should she succeed in her struggle , 3 can -Guly be by a co-operation not only of hec fialdrcn at home , but of the lovera of liberty Smmghout the empire . Where , then , will you an snch a combination of mind , of numbers , of ratenary , and holy purpose , as in the ranks of the ^ gEsh Charfcts 5 and WGuld you hazard such ^ fEBSth ^ Wfiat could give the English minister > Bd Ihe Orange Irish facdon eqnal pleasure to the * BBmaieanent that the withdrawal of English symla&f fean the cause of Ireland had enabled them

VAIiB OE IXVEW . ^ On Monday week , a public meeting rf the inhabitants of this place was held in the Odd Fellows' Large Hall * to hear an address from Mr Robert Peddie , tte victim of tho spy sytem . The following resolution was adopted previous to the lecture : — " We , the inhabitants of I the Vale of Leven , in public meeting assembled , do express our warm and heartfelt sympathy with those brave ani patriotic men in tho sister island now so gallantly struggling for the zeattalnmeat of a domestic ! legislature ; and not enly do we sympathise with themjbut also pledge ourselves to give them every assistance-that we legally and constitutionally can do , in tbis their glorious tffort to obtain that freedom which Gad has given to every creature under Heaven , namely , the right of self-government .
The more especially do we ! feel ourselves called upon to come forward at thrs time jwith esprersions of satisfaction at , and wannest wishes for , the success of the Repeal agitation in Ireland ! as certain portions of the British hireling p ^ ess has most falsely and most wickedly stated that the working men of England and Scotland feel no interest in these truly grand and glorious struggles for rational liberty ; and still fnrther , as with grief and heartfelt sorrow we behold what we cannot help calling a most dishonest and diabolical attempt on the part of the enemies of freedom to enlist on the side of power the religious prejudices of the Protestant Christ ians , by insinuating that the real inttresfe of the leaders of the Repealagitafion in Ireland is to establish Catholic supremacy in that country . As Protestants ourselves we do fearlessly assert that We areptrsnaded that these wicked insinuations ; are but a weak invention of
the enemy , meant to throw the apple of religious discord amongst the friends of freedom , —only another proof that the Tories have not forgot their old axiomdivide and conquer—an attempt that , we feel confident , win prove as useless to them as it is wicked in intention . And we , the inhabitants of the Vale of Leven , do moEt seriously txnort our Iri ^ h brethren to continue fearlessly their noble and patriotic career , nothing doubting that a speedy and bloodless triumph awaits them . Also , as men of stern principle , we feel called npon to say , that in class legislation—aud in class legislation alone—is to be found the origin of both Ireland ' s and England ' s woe . And , moreover , had it not been for the existence of class legislation , Ireland could not have keen so basely robbed by ! a British Parliament of her resident Hcu . se of Representatives . " A Public Out-door Meeting of the inhabitants
Richards , snd against the Irish Arms BUI Nearly 2000 persons assembled . Mr . R < be ? t& was called ta the chair . Mr . J . M'Fadyen moved the first resolution , " That this meeting views with horror and indignation the cruel treatment inflicted upon Thomas Cooper and Richards , and agree te petition Parliament for a mitigation of theirsufferings , " which was ably seconded by Mr . Burns . Mi . 6 . Ferguson moved the next resolution , " That this meeting likewise petition against tbe Irish Arms BUI . '' Mr . C . Glen seconded tho resolution , and proceeded to make a number of able remarks on the policy pursued by the government towards Ireland . He next , in a speech of striking eloquence , appealed to the people to do tbeii duty in resisting all encroachments upon their civil and religions liberties . Mr . Gien
re-| tired amid great cheering . - The Cnaunian put the resolutions , whichweifc carried unanimously . A petition to Parliament was read to the mtsetinsr , and carried amidst cheers . Mr .

Mr . Peddie addressed the meeting for ? an hour and a half , upon which he retired amid great applause .

CLITHEHOE .-M 0 RE Tvrawny of the Middle Classes . —It hadibeen announced by placard for at least six days previous , that Mr . D . Ross , of Manchester , would doliver three lectures , in the larg-e room at the Swan Inn , on the 5 th , 6 th , and 7 th of June . The first lecture was to be upon Elocution ; tho secdnd ou the political aspect of Chartism ; and the third on the Evils of the Competitive System . When Mr . Ross Centered the Swau inn , at the appointed time , he was very impertinently told by the landlord that ho could not have the room . Mr . Ross—What is the reason I cannot have it \ Mr . Holderness—I , have twenty reaeons . Air . Ross— Gire one reason 1 Mr . Holderness—The room is my own ; I am mas tr hero . As an Englishman , 1 am opposed to Chartism , and it shan ' t be mentioned here .
During this conversation , a Mr . Ho . rsfall , an understrapping manufacturer , jone of the saintly disciples of the League , began to vociferate like a moonsti-cken maniac , stating that ho Would bag all those in his or tho-ir employ who had anything to do with Chartism ; upon which , Mr . Ross told him that he was a striking evidence of the cruelties practised by tho manufacturing despots of the a ^ e . After a little mere conversation of this sort , this "humane" cmplover appeared so overcome with passion , as to be ready to faint . Ashamed of being made to look so truly contemptible in the eyes of the workies , by whom he was surrounded , he stated that he could stand it no longer , and evidently showed symptcms of fkht , prefacing his gestures with sundry
oaths and angry imprecations , upon which Mr . Ross told him , that after the sample which he had given him of his good breeding , he mu&t certainly decline all further conversation with him . Mr . Ross again addressed the landlord * asking him what authority he acced upon ; when he replied that bo was acting " upon the advice given by the magistrates- He moreover stated the magistrates were determined to put down all Chartist meetings ; upon which Mr . Host , -remarked that despite the di&position of the magistrates , they lacked the means to do so , having the authority of the highest lawyers in the realm for- maintaining tho right of public disousssion . A number of working men , who were present during tk . x cunveratiou , were forcibly
ejected by one ui those precious donatiqns bequeathed by tbe Whigs dxiring tueir merciless administration , yclept a policeman ; thid precious functionary had been previously well crammed with strong drink in order to inflate his valour to the fi ^ htiug point ; meantime Mr . Rass and tho landlord were engaged in altercation , the landlord stating that he could at any time crush Chartism l < y argument ; upon which Mr . Ross request-. < i htm to send for tho industrious magistrates , who / had so buciiy interested themselves on tho occasion , and having pJaced one of the abovenamed authorities in th * chair , Mr . Ross would undertake to prove ; that they knew no more of Chartism , its power , and capabilities , than the members of the establishment know of juetico and humanity .
By this time the landlords' puissance had evaporated , not so the strong drink with , which he had bolstered up ] his sinking resolution ; Mr . Ross finding that nothing could be cone with these violators of the public faith , left them to their owu reflections . Upon entering the street , surrounded by a number of His friends , he was followed by the policeman , whosefdesponding demeanour proved how much he was disappointed in consequence of not having an opportunity afforded him ^ of conveying some one to prison , there to be dealt wi ^ h according to tho caprine of the public authorities . This disturber of the public peace tbld ^ Mr . Ross that , he must move on , upon which Mr . Ross toi J him that he had better move off . The policeman , whom drunkenness had' almost deprived of articulation , replied that it was the Queen ' s highway ; upon which Mr . Ross remarked that he was sorry to find it
obstructed by such ornaments as policemen , telling him , moreover , that he knew his privilege too well to allow such individuals the right of addressing him . Here the policeman looked alarmingly big . elr-vati-ng at the same time his indolent arm , in which he carried a weapon , asithough he was about to intimate what might be expected to follow . He told Mr . Ross that he knew him , upon which Mr . Kosa remarked that he ! could not rejoice in his acquaintance , telling him at the same time , that he ought to know him , for thsft he was most unwillingly compelled to help to maintain him . Here the policeman was greeted with a yell of execration j upon which he withdrew , no doubt to the parties who employed him , in order to be "rewarded by his trusty supporters for the valuable emices he had thus nobly performed . The room was engaged and paid for at least ten dayo previous . } ¦
In consequence of tbe unconstitutional means taken to suppress the three lectures intended to have been delivered by-Mr . Rosa , it has been determined that a public meeting will be belu on the Sabden side of Pendle Hill , on Sunday , June 18 th , 1843 , at twelve o ' clock at noon . Mr . Ross and ; other gentlemen will attend . ) Chartists , attend in your countless thousands , and shew that it is vain and fruitless , to attempt to su ^ prets the righteous cause of democracy .

Another of the League was doing the same thing , and one had this very lant week stopped bis engine and reduced his hands one half-halfpenny per cut , which put about £ 7 per fortnight into his pocket . Working men » this is the way jrou are to be made happy by tbe League men . Are [ you satisfied of their intentions 7 If you are not * wutcb , them closely , and you soon wifl be . Ob ! I had forgot to tell you , that the individual who bad reduced bis weavers told them

NEWCASTLE—The monthly meeting ot the Kcpeal of * tho Union association of Newcn « Ue-on-Tyrie , was held in the Catholic School Room , oa Monday evening . Mr . M'Daid having been u . i . ia :-mously elected to the chair , briefly ^ opened the pro ceedings by stating the object for which they had met that evening , and concluded by introducing their tried fwnd Mr . tt'In-ilty , who would next address the meeting . Mr . M'Inilty was received with loud cheering , and commenced by relating the ravages made by William I Il . in Ireland , andthe good faithG )
with which the government of that monarch kept tho treaty of Limerick . -He showed that in less than two months after they received the sanction of the great seal of England , the treaty was broke , and his Majesty ' ^ peaceable subjects of Ireland , wei « unceremoniously robbed , not only of their goods and chattels , but also of their lands and tenements . By the tre&ty of Limerick , Ireland was to hold her owa Church , were allowed to worship their God according to tho dictates of their own consciences , and many other immunities both civil and religious . Were they allotted to exercise those benefits ? No , no , was reiterated from all part of the large room * Mr . M'Inilty then entered into a statement of tha
trade of Ireland , before and after the union with England , and very distinctly showed that although the population was increasing annually , that the trade was decreasing , and the comforts of tho people were disgracefully diminished beyond description . Mr . M'Inilty was loudly cheered , throught it . hia minute rahears&l ef Erin ' s woes , and was succeeded by Mr . M'Shane , who after apologizing for his inability to enter at any great length into the = > ubje « t « in consequence of bi > dily indisposition , gave a brief outline of the innumerable deprivations to which his countrymen were subjected , in consequence of the check put to her improvement by mis-Iogialation , aud urged " the necessity of forming one united
phalanx of all true friends of liberty , to use every constitutional means left them to work out the redemption of Ireland . Mr . M'Shane was also cheered at the end of each sentence , and sat down amidst enthusiastic peals of applause . Mr . Bropny , of Dublin , said the reason that he stood before them that evening in defence of Repeal is , that he 13 a tradesman , as well as thousands of his countryman , arc forced to leave their native land in quest of th&t in a foreign country , which his own could produce in abundance , had it not been withheld from them by a government who had uo kindred feeling with , the best interest of the country . Mr . B . related the
means resorted to by the English aristocracy , to bribs the aristocracy of Ireland to sell their couutry to them . Mr . B . here mentioned the names of individuals who were thus bribed , and showed that tho Union cost England £ 3 . 000 , 000 . in bribery . Air . B . contended that Ireland would never be what she ought to ba , until Bho was restored to her proper ownersi the whole people of Ireland . If she had a parliament of her own , the representatives of the whole adult male population , then she would be what nature designed her , " the most fertile and happy nation Under the canopy of heaven , " but not uutU then .
