      The Irish Confederation. On Wednesday Ev...

      THE IRISH _CONFEDERATION . On Wednesday evening a large assemblage of this body was held at the Rotunda , Dublin , and much interest was excited , aa it was understood that _ a discussion was to take place as to the general policy ofthe Confederation . On the motion of Mr Smith O'Brien , J . Martin , Epq . of Loughorne , was called to the chair . MrS . O'Brien , MP ., delivered a lengthy speech , reviewing the correspondence of Messrs Duffy and Mitchel ; in the course of which ho earnestly contended against tho sentiments put forth by the new leaders . He concluded by moving the adoption of the following string of resolutions , which bad previously obtained the sanction of a majority of the council of the Confederation -.

      —1 , Resolved , That inasmuch aa letters published by two members of this council have brought into question the principles of the Irish Confederation , and have given rise to an imputation tbat we are deBirous to produce a general disorganisation _ofBodety in this country , and to overthrow social order , we deem it right again to place before tho public the following fundamental rulf as that which constitutes thb basis of action proposed to our fellow countrymen by the Irish Confederation : —

      BOLE . 1 . That a society be now formed under tha title of ' The Irish Confederation , ' for the purpose of protecting our national interests , and obtaining the legislative independence of Ireland , by the force of opinion , by the combination of all classes of Irishmen , and the exercise of all the political , social , and moral influences within our reach . 2 . Tbat ( under present circumstances ) the only hope « f the liberation of this country lies in a movement in wbich all classes and creeds of Irishmen shall be fairly represented , and by which tbe interests of none shall be endangered . 3 . That inasmuch as English legislation threatens all Irishmen with a common ruin , we entertain a confident hope tbat tbeir common necessities will speedily units _Irishmen in au effort to get rid of It .

      i . That we earnestly deprecate tho expression of any sentiments in tbe Confederation calculated to repel er alarm any section of our fellow countrymen . 5 , That we disclaim , as we have disclaimed , any intention of involving our couutry in civil war , or of invading the just rights ef any portion ef its people . G . That the Confederation has not recommended , nor does it recommend , resistance to tho payment of rates and rents , but on the contrary , unequivocally condemns such recommendations . 7 . That in protesting against tbe disarmament of the Irish people , under the Coercion Bill lately etmoted _, and in maintains that tbe right to bear arms and to use tbem for legitimate purposes is one of the primary attributes of liberty , wo have no intention or desire to encourage any portion of the population oi this country In the perpetration of crime * such as those whlck have recently brought disgrace upon . the Irish peopio , and which haTe tended , in no trifling degree , to retard the success of our efforts in the cause ef national

      freedom . 8 . That to hold out to the Irish peopio fhe hope that in their present broken and divided condition- they can liberate their country by an appeal to arms , ond consequently to divert them from constitutienal action , would be , in our opinion , a fatal misdirection of the public mind . 8 . That this Confederation was established to attain an Irish parliament by the cembination of classes , and by the force of opinion , exercised in constitutional operations , and that no means of a contrary character can be recommended or promoted through its organisation while its present fundamental rules remain unaltered . 10 . That while we deem it right thus emphatically to disavow the principles pronounced in the publications referred to in the resolutions , we at the same time equally distinctly repudiate all right to control the private opinions of any member of our body , provided they do not affect the legal or moral responsibility of tbe Irish Confederation .

      Sir , I beg leave to move those resolutions . ( Cheers . ) Mr J . Pigot seconded the motion , but was received with mingled expressions of applause and disapprobation . Mr Mitchel then came forward , and was received with prolonged 'rnd _enthuBiastic cheering , after which he spoke as follows : —We have been accustomed hitherto , sir , to the utmost unanimity in our public meetings . Reports and resolutions brought up from tho council bave commonly been passed with acclamation , and as a matter of course—or if any one _diluted from any part of them , he contented himself , 'with the proviso contained in our seventh fundamental rule , that no report or resolution of fhe body bound a member who had not expressly

      assented to the same . Yet I believe the meeting will not be surprised at my thinking it necessary to move an amendment to the resolutions proposed by Mr O'Brien . { Hear , hear . ) First , however , I wish to make public acknowledgment of the candour and manliness of Mr O'Brien ' s conduct in thiB matter . Yet the nature of these _resoltions is not to be mistaken - Strictly and literally they are peace resolutions ; and , in their practical application , they are intended virtually to exclude not only certain principles , but certain persons ; in short , me , and any others who may agree with me—not a few I apprehend—from tho Irish Confederates . Now , "thatin itself is aBmall matter , IC I withdvaw to-morrow from the confederation the cause would suffer little , if

      at all ; ar . d I would to God that I were free to withdraw from it quietly , deeply aa I am concerned for its _sueceao , rather than be forced into this public antagonism against men with whom I have worked so _jnng _' and ao - _. _rdially , and for whom , generally sneaking , ! feel so strong regard . ( Hear . ) But , sir , this is not a personal matter ; it involves the fundamental principles of the confederation ; and I am not at liberty to avoid unpleasant collision by sneaking outof the affair , without making as effort to vindicate and save those fundamental _principles . To come to the resolutions before the chair , let me omit for the present the first eight of them , and draw your

      attention for a minute to the ninth , which I regard aa the most important of them all , in fact , including the whole principle . The ninth resolution is , ' That this Confederation was established to attain an Irish Parliament by the combination of classes , and by the force of opinion exercised in constitutional operations ; and that no means ofa contrary character can be recommended or promoted through its organisation while its present fundamental rules remain unaltered . ' Now , let any Confederate present look to the back of his card , and see whether the third rule , or any other rule limits the action of the confederation within tho bounds of the constitution . There is eot in the whole of our rulea one word about

      constitution , or about law , or about ' patience and perseverance , ' or about' peace , law , and order . ' 1 drew up the original draft of those rules myself , and took good care te put into them no such palmy _balderdash . ( Loud cheers . ) To be sure , the rule says we expect to achieve our country ' s freedom , amongst other things , by the force of opinion . Well , and must the force of opinion always bo legal ? Always be peaceful ? Does opinion then mean law ? Does opinion cease to be opinion the moment it _Btops put of the trenches of the constitution ? Why , sir , I hold that there is no opinion in Ireland worth a farthing which is not illegal . ( Cheers . ) I hold that armed opinion is a thousand times stronger than unarmed —( cheers )—

      and further , that in a national struggle that opinion is the moat potent whose sword is sharpest , and whose aim is surest . ( Hear , hear , and loud cheers . ) We ara . told it waa opinion and sympathy , and other metaphysical entities that rescued Italy , and scared Austria back from Ferrara without a blow . Yes , but it was opinion with tbe helmet of a national guard upon his head and a long sword by his side ; it was opinion standing match in hand atthe breech of a tun charged to the muszle . ( Loud sheering . ) Now , I say all this , not to vindicate myself , for I have no where recommended the Irish nation to attain _legislative independence by force of arms in their proent broken and divided condition ( as Mr O'Brien ' s resolution imputes to me )—not to

      vindicate myself , but to vindicate the original free constitution ot our confederacy . I say there is no sort of agency by which nations over won freedom burred from us by these fundamental rules ; and I will oppose to the last any scheme of policy that would now limit our speech and action within the hounds of laws and constitutions , about which Ireland knows only this—that they were invented to enslave , starve , and plunder her . ( Hear , and loud cheers . ) Mr O'Brien says , if you admit the expression of such doctrines as miue you will break faith with influential and worthy aristocratio persons who may have joined ub in the belief that they would not be alarmed by such seditious suggestions . Now , I say if you vote tonight that the confederation is to be henceforth a

      strictly legal and constitutional _soeiety , you break faith with me and many another man who never would have joined it with any such view . ( Hear , hear . ) Now , before leaving this expression , the power of opinion , and the proper interpretation to be put upon thoso words , I will remind you that three months ago , at the Belfast nesting , it devolved upon me to expound the rules of this confederation to the people of the north ; and there , in the presence of Mr Smith O'Brien . I gave the following explanation of this third rule ( I quote from the Nation ) : —* The foree of opinion here mentioned does net _exolude any kind of operation consistent with mornlity and dutv T * , 1 a AM Vt _ f _ _AVfthl _^ n «_ U _ . _ . _ .. ____ . - ¦• *_ . _ */ ' _Itdoes not exclude

      . an organisation to resist and ri _& feat foreign laws for instance ! neither does it _nrohibit a resort to arms , should the time ever come when we shall have the power to use them . ' Upon thiB exposition of mine followed no disavowal contradiction , or comment , until to-night . ( ' Hear hear . ) I now como to that clause in the same ninth resolution winch refers to tho ' combination of classes . ' It seems to imply tbat the writers of the terrible letters jn question did or said something to prevent a combination of classes . Now for ar put I only said that recen _^ circumstances had made me 3 ft del «? r c / 0 f _? blna t _* T . how much soever I might _desiro it . ( Cheers . _Ioalvsaid that _inmv

      STp _^ la , n s _^ _Mand had taken _tteirside _™ i _1 « iW ?? ' agamst their ° _™ _c _^ try . men , and that it was useless to keep courting and wooing armed and sanguinary enemies , That was all ,

      The Irish Confederation. On Wednesday Ev...

      I did desire—sir , I do desire—I would this night give my right- hand to bring about a combination of the various orders of Irishmen against English dominion , ( Cheers . ) I do believe such a union would be the salvation of all those clauses , of social order , and of many thousands of human lives . But I toll you 1 despair of such cembinatioa . And what think you ? I ask my brother Confederates do they in their souls and consciences believe that the landlords ef Ireland will help them to aet this island free . ( Cries of' No . ' ) Of course I mean the landlords as a class . There are _- _~_* .. * * _ _-i i •_ •__ .. __ . _ _ . !• _•__ . _ . "

      noble exceptions—two of them hero to-night—but so few that they amply prove the rule . Do you believe it ? Have we all been dreaming theBe last few months ? Is it a faot , or not , that the gentry have called in the aid of foreigners to help them to clear ; their own people from the face of the earth , to help them to crash and trample down in blood and horror the rightful claim of the tenant classes to a bare subsistence on the land they till ? ( Hear , hear . ) Is it a fact , tbat they invented a sham council , called the ' Irish Council , ' and talked \ nhat they called nationality there for a few meetings , until they got what they wanted , a bill to disarm and transport the Irish—and where is their nationality now ? My friends , I was weak enough to put some trust in that

      sham nationality , and I laboured for a time anxiously on the committees of the Irish Council , trying in good faith to extract what good I thought was in it . And I will say no w that , democrat as I am , by nature , habits , education , and position , I would have fol . lowed the aristocracy of Ireland in the march to freedom with real and loyalty , if they had only led . But the y cheated me—they cheated you—aad they are now laughing at us all . I , for want ofsome one inoro competent , tried and tested them on several questions—first , on the prevention of food exports from a starving country ; but in this they would not lift a finger . ' How , ' they said , ' how wero tenants to pay their rents , if they did not send their corn to England ! ' Next I raised a discussion on

      tenant right—succeeded in exciting public attention to the debate—succeeded in framing my motisn so that Mr Sharman Crawford was able to support itbut what did the national landlords do ? Why they slunk away , and hid themselves , and the division took place amongst emply benches . And in what position do we see these landed proprietors now ? Are they flocking to our standard , as we have so often invited them to do ? Are they marshalling us the way to win our freedom from the English ? Have they not taken pay from the English against us , and are they not now turning upon us sword in hand ° ( Cheers . ) Let us not deceive ourselves—tbis country is in a state of war—a most unequal and illmatched Btruggle , indeed—for the slaughter on one

      side exceeds the _easualitieson the other as ten thousand to one . The broken-spirited and famished peasants have only heart for a few coward assassin shots from behind a hedge , but a sheriff's bailiff , with a deadly weapon called ! a habere , has often exterminated a whole country side in a few hours . The habere is more destructive than grape shot , or shell , or Captain Warner ' s long range—it blows the roof off a score of _housas at once , tears up the hearthstones , obliterates the very foundations , and leaves the naked and famishing inmates to the legialativo charity of a poorhouse , which is worse tban death . ( Hear , hear . ) .. Let mo read you the last paragraph of ' an address to the resident landlords of Ireland , ' brought up and adopted _atjour meeting on the 7 th of

      April last : — ' We have been told that we may despair of the co-operation ef the Irish landed proprietors in this great national movement , and tbat tho _cnuse of Ireland's liberty must proceed without you . To that _sugEtestion we are unwilling to yield ( this was ten months ago . ) Our country cannot well afford to have so powerful a class against her in her ' righteous _struggle—besides times have cose upon us to soften men ' s hearts and open their eyeVto the truth ; and in that kindly influence , as well as in the meaner instinct of self-preservation , wo have still some hope ( it was ten months ago . ) Shall this hope be vain ? The middle and the humbler classes have not a day to lose in the formation of an alliance for the protection of their own lives .

      At the present rate of mortality their ranks are daily diminished by hundreds . It will be apparent to you that if tbey are to make any . efforts whatever for self-preservation they ' mu 8 t"do so forthwith . In our conscientious duty to them we must aid , assist and hasten their deoision'in this matter ; and we must in candonr declare that a principal end of this add / ess is to ascertain whether we are to reckon you as with or against your country . ' And at the very same meeting a man who generally means what he says , and whose unavoidable _absence to-night we must _regret—I mean Mr Meagher—used this language : ' I now make this last appeal to the aristocracy of Ireland . I do so , that in our day of triumph wa may lead no fellow countrymen in chains , nor

      scout him as an alien from our ranks . There is not an hour—no , not an instant to be lost . ( This was ten months _ago . ) Every grave that opens to receive a victim of English rule , widens and deepens the chasm that has for years divided the two great classes efthe country . ( How wide , then , and how deep , is that chasm now . ) Sir , it is useless to argue it—the people , without the aristocracy , when driven to the last extremity , have the power to win their freedom . One thing at least is certain—the people will not concent to lire another year in a wilderness and a grave-yard . ' Well , ten months of the year have passed . In short ; it seems to have been always understood that our experiment upon the aristocracy waa but an experiment , and must have an end some

      time or oJh-r . The difference is only as to time . We were not to go on for ever inviting the lamb to lie down with the wolf and the kid to play upon the cockatrice ' s den . We roust absolutely draw the line somewhere—and for me I _drw it at the Coercion Act . So far an to the technical question ofthe original rules ; but , sir . nobody here imagines the question before us to be a merely technical ene . ( Hear , hear . ) The real issue here is whether the Irish Confederation shall now definitely shape itself into an organisation for purely constitutional or Parliamentary agitation , to the utter exclusion of those

      who , like me , take no interest in that kind of procedure , or whether it shall be open , aa before , to those who think it is only by a steady passive resistance to English laws l _ at _Ireland ' s independence is to be won . __ Foe my part , I admit that I am weary of eonstitutional agitation , and will never lift a finger to help it more . I believe we have not the materials for it , and that the show of constitutional power we possess was exactly devised by our enemies to delude ub into an endless and driftless agitation . I will assist at the planting of no more bean stalks on whieh one day we are to reach the sky . I am tired

      Dropping of buckets into empty well * , And growing old in drawl _ g nothing up . Instead of ' agitate , agitate , ' I would say to the people , ' arm ! arm ! ' Instead of' register , register / 1 would say 'hold your lands and eat of the fruit thereof , and be filled , ' and establish universal tenant-right , that so the graves and poor-houses may not swallow up the very material of our nation . I would say , ' leave the English for the present all the responsibilities of what they call governing us ; be not idiots enough to help , countenance , or comfort them in that business ; but , above all , be armed , bo armed , that when Louis Philippe dies you may be

      ready to repel the French invasion . ' ( Tremendous cheers . _^ I will now , Bi-, move my amendment—it is fl very simple one—it neither breathes blood and murder , nor bristles with pike-heads , nor smells of gunpowder . It is a mere reference to one of our own fundamental roles , on which , as yonr only safe basis , I advise you to rely in this emergency . Tou will remember that these resolutions are introduced expressly to condemn certain views of two of your members published in the newspapers , and which do not necesBarily come before you at all . My amendment , therefore , is

      ;—That this Confederation does not feel called upon to promote either a _condemuatlom or approval of any doctrines promulgated b y any of i » s members in letters , speeches , or otherwise , becauBO the seventh fundamental rule of ths Confederation expressly provides , ' That Inasmuch at the essential bond of union amongst us Ii the assertion of Ireland ' s rights to an independent legislature , no member of the Irish Confederation shall ba bound to the adoption of any principle involved in any resolution , or promulgated by any speaker In the society , or any journal advocating its policy , to which ho has not given hiB special consent , save only the foregoing fundamental principles of the society . '

      That is my amendment ; and now , before sitting down , I will complain ofthe only passage in Mr O'Brien ' s speech which I can characterise as decidedly unfair . I think it was unfair to speak of the man who murdered Mr Hill in Limerick as a dis ciple of my _dootrines . I ask you whether in any letter or speech of mine 1 have given grounds for such an imputation as this—where and when have I ever justified , or palliated , or recommended , or hinted at assassination ? I have said , indeed , that the tenantright must be established every where in Ireland as it is in Ulster , by the strong public opinion of men in arms . In Ulster , there arena agrarian murders . There , in the tenant-right districts , they openly and in daylight gather inarms to resist ejeotmentor distress where there is a gross and signal violation of I the popular right ; but ia Monster , sir , they first submit to be hunted from their dens like foxes and j badgers , and then basely lurk behind a h * d _™ and

      shootthe landlord or the bailiff . It is therefore the practice of Ulster I recommend , and not the example of W _ Hill's murderers in Limerick . ( Hear , hear . ) I hare now done , sir , but one thing I beg the Confederation to keep in mind . If they confirm my amendment it will leave the Confederation precisely in the same unfettered position in which ii ; stood when we entered this room to-night ; bnt if they adopt the resoIu « ions proposed by Mr O'Brien , they will for the first time exclude certain Repealers from the Confederation who do not happen to agree in policy with the majority of its council . I do not desire to prevent Mr O'Brien from continuing in our society , nor from fully and freely urging his own views ofpolioy , but he doss desire to do so by mo . Remember , therefore , _^ giving your vote , that I do not want to expel Mr O'Brien or _anybedy else , and I demand of you tint _joa y _, \\\ _hitemse , and for the

      Mr MiTCHEi ,, in explanation , said Mr _Doheiy nad beeH arguing against some person who advised an , .

Farther , his letter recommen d ed no t an armed , but a deliberate passive re . sistanceto poor rates . If Mr Doheny did not under _, stand his plain language , he could not understand his argument . If he did understand his ( Mr Mit . chel ' s ) language , he had erosslv _misrenresented _hin

      , for some clap-trap purpose or other . ( Cheers ) . Mr _Barrt followed , and contended that the resolutions of Mr Smith O'Brien were calculated to get aside the original rules upon which the Confederation is based . Mr Smith _O'Beibn moved an adjournment of tlw debate to next evening , which was agreed to . On Friday evening the adjourned meeting waj held , Mr Martin in the chair . Mr LiWLKss , before the discussion commenced , introduced a resolution for the purpose of reconciling all parties , and obviatin g dissensions . Mr Williams followed in support of the resolutions moved by Mr O'Brien . Mr Eugknb O'Reiilt defended the policy pro . pounded by Mr Mitchel .

      Mr Dillon followed , and contended that the advice which Mr Mitchel wanted the Confederation to giva to the people wonld be calculated to lead to local insurrections , which would inevitably bo suppressed , asd the hands of the government strengthened . Mr Dbvin Reilly contended that it wag their duty to make the people prepared for war / are , in order tbat they might not be broken and divided as they w e re at pr e sen t , but ready for a struggle . It had been argued as if it were his ( Mr Rellly ' s ) intention to go out immediately on the hills . He had no such thing in view . But he would tell them what he was at _juBt at present . He was getting up a Rifle Club , ( cheers , ) in order that at least some of the young men of Ireland might be fit to use arms in the course of time when they would be called on to do so . The speaker maintained that the landlords were at present inarms against the people .

      Mr Duffy next came forward , and was received with cheers mingled with hisses . The serious question which now agitated them had been described as a personal quarrel ( cries of 'It is , ' ' no , ' and ' order' ); and he had been accused of makine * use of tbat Confederation for personal purposes . Beth charges were perfectly untrue . Mr Duffy proceeded to contend that the fundamental rules of the society were that objects should be sought for by legal and constitutional means , and should not be trenched on . Mr Richard O'Gobman . jun ., supported the resolutions of Mr Smith O'Brien .

      Mr Meaobbr spoke in support of the resolutions . Although he was not one ot those sort of moralists who declared that liberty was not worth a drop of blood , he voted in favour of constitutional agitation ; but he did so not from choioe bnt from necessity . That pelicy was the only one which they could adopt as likely , in tbeir present circumstances , to succeed . The priesthood , the middle-classes , and the aristocracy would be opposed te insurrectionary movements , and then there were 50 , 000 British troops in the country . * Mr M'Ghee supported ths resolutions ; after which

      Mr MrrcHEL came forward amid loud cheers , and spoke in reply . It had been said that if classes were set to contend againBt each other there was no knowing in what it might end . Why tbe end to which such contention came bad already been exhibited at Skull and Skibbereen . He never spoke in favour of arming the peasantry _againnt tbeir landlords , but in order tbat they might be enabled to hold their own rights . Rather tban that ten mea should die of famine he would prefer that ten thousand should be hewn to pieces , fighting like men and Christians for thoir rights . ( Cheers . ) Mr Mitchel , in continuation , denied the competency of any meeting in Dublin—even that great and influential assembly—to decide a question involving the alteration of the constitution of that Confederation

      , Mr Smith O'Beikh then came forward to speak in reply , and was received with loud cheers . He took upon himself the whole responsibility of the resolutions which he moved . Mr Mitchel had not done them justice in Baying that they were intended for his expulsion . Mr O'Brien , in continuation , submitted that Mr Mitchel has utterly failed to show that hi 3 plan of action would have the effect of saving the life of one single labourer of the country ; of establishing tenant-right ; or of advancing that Confederation ene step in the attainment ef its objects . The Chairman , after some observations , read the resolutions and the amendment , and having put the question upon them , declared the resolutions to be carried . Mr Mitchbl called for a division .

      Tellers being appointed , Messrs _O'Gornun and M'Gee for the resolutions , and Messrs Mitchel and Reilly for the amendment , the numbers were ascerto be—611 for the resolutions , and 188 for the amendment , so that the former were carried by a majority of 126 . The proceedings did not terminate _. _'till one o ' clock
