    ADDBE 5 S OF FEARGUS O'CONNOE TO IHE IRISH IN ENGLAND .

I shall firstly , then , address yon as an jrishmsn z and any reason tor doing so . npon the pre * jgni occasion is , to / take the Tery earliest oppaijajiij of crushing in the outset that bad feeling -Ucb i 3 once more attempted to be fostered lie and the

Not jrisbmsj ^ io make more of this attempt than is merely jjjpessarj io destroyit , I shall bnt gently tench it ; lallaae , JbeD , toalparasraphTrhicb appeared in some af ihe Issh newspapers lefening to the position jriach Feaigns O'Connor and the English Chartists jaa asmned on the question of the Repeal of the ¦ Union . If my conversion to the principle of repeal jfgs of recent date , orif my advocacy of the measure B&eeitftisl became a national qnestion was eqafrocal , J « onld well nndeistand ihe propriety of receiving a ¦ v ggj conTeri if not "with suspicion , ai least with

    ppgion . i could see Tery justifiable reason for minting thought in ihe minds of the zealons and the ^ jefemed , 23 at inasmuch as I have from the oniset -j ^ n the ntsl strenuous advocate of the measure , jbS , as 1 haTe rocked its cradle -whSe slnmbering in jg ^ , and -watched its -wating moments -with the jB ^ t nerrons aiorieiyj and -whether crawling as a egpple , or striding as a giant , I haTe limped with its jaB , tx kept pace with its stride , I am not joy going to allow any man or any body of of men to make my advocacy of my country ' s cause fljepreiext for failure or delay . Ko , my

    countrymen * onr father Jand has been Int too often and too jaecessfiilly made the prey of the spoiler by the Camion of Inshmfin .

Ho ; I wiD bear that persec ntion

    TJhich may be allotted to me like an Irishman , and Jangh at spleen Ekera philosopher , Do not the Ttjs 3 i , in fliar present glorions struggle for liberty , require aQ the aid ihat can be enlisted in their behalf , and aftfeoisgh tie- power of an individiial may be but Sig ht , are not yon , my countrymen , convinced that io man was erer honoured with more of ihe canidenee of the English "working classes than I can prondly boast of ! And can you suppose that men trhoJsTe so heroically contended Tor the rights of man , and have ever found me amongst the forest in the ranks , " « ronld not look wiih suspicion span those who w&nld court weakness by graiifjing personal animositj ?

    2 ! y countrymen , 3 am an Irish Repealer , and aa Engfoh C&arrisi .

Would jon thenxaahly hazard the los of sach a bodj ? or Trill yon not , like irishmen and statesmen , court

If , as we learn , tho etject of the Irish is le enlist the co-operation of the Esglish pecple ^ have yon besoso blind to passing events as not to have discovered that the national strength of JSaglsEd is embodied in the Chartist ranks , and that ioappeal ssedonaliy to the cool-headed , tbs temperate , the discreet , the moral force Chartists , or to useany terms calculated to revive oli animosities , ircinld hare ihe effect of estrangip * from yonr cause those whose opposition appeared thus to be courted . 25 nt my countrymen- I will point ont to you * the

    proper curse in such an emergency , the dnij which every IriFhmaTi under such cir--cosianees owes to his country . The coarse then Trhieh I shall pursue will be to disarm slander by increased exertion . To go on ponrtraying my « oaEtry " swrong 3 and demanding my eonntry ' sliberty , xdisg the good in their glorious straggle and leaving the vicious and the bad to be dealt with by jhsi sobermind , the grave of littleness and vengeasee , when that great object which all profess a desire to achieve shall be accomplished , and when ihe "wrongs of Ireland are sSenced in a national

    VAXS OE rEVBW . —On Monday week , a pnblic meeting of the inhabitants of this place -was held in tha Odd Fellows * large HiQl , to hear an ad < lre 33 from Mr . Robert Peddie , the victim of the spy sytem . Tie following resolution was adopted previous to the lecture : — " We , the inhabitants of the Vale of Leven , in public meeting assembled , do express our warm and heartfelt sympathy -with those brave ani patriotic men in the sister island now so gallantly struggling for the reattainment of a domestic legislature ; and not enly do we sympathise with them , but also pledge ourselves to give them fevery assistance that we legally and constitutionally caa do , in this their gloriuus iffort to obtain that freedom which God has given to every creature under Heaven , namelj , the right of self-government

    The more especir . Uy do we feel ourselves called upon to come forward at this time with expressions of satisfaction at , and -warmest -wishes for , tbs success of the Repeal agitation ia Irciand , as certain portions of tbe British hireling press has most falsely and m est wickedly stated that the -weriiug . nien of Eag ' . and and Scotland fetl no interest in these truly grand and glorious struggles for rational liberty ; -and still further , as with grief and heartfelt sorrow we behold what we cannot help calling a most dishonest , and diabolical attempt on the part of the eneanea of freedom to enlist on tbe side of power the religions prejudices of the Protestant Christians , by insinuating that ine real interest of the leaders of the H-speal agitation in Ireland iB to establish Cstholie snpremacy in that country . As Protestants ourselves we do fearlessly assert that wearepersuaded that

    these wicked insinuations are but a weak invention of the enemy , meant to throw the apple of religious discord amongst tha friends of freedom , —only another proof that the Tories have not forgot the'r old axiomdivide and conquer—an attempt that , we feel confident , will prove as useless to them &s it is wicked in intention . And we , the inhabitants of tbe Vale of Leven , do most seriously * xhort our Irish 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 upon to say , that in class legislation—and io 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 feeen so basely robbed by a British Parliament of her resident Hcuse of Representatives . "

    A Public Ot-t-door Meeting of the inhabitants of the Vale was bvlil rn Al-xundria , on Monday evening last , to petition Parliament on behalf of Cooper and Ricbarns , and against the Irish Arms BiiL Nearly 2000 persons assembled .. Mr . Roberts was called U 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 their . snfferings , " which was ably seconded by Mr . Burns . Mr . G . Ferguson moved the next resolution , " That this meeting likewise petition against tbe Irish Arm ? Bill . " Mr . C . Glen seconded the resolution , and proceeded to make a number ef able remarks on tbe policy pursued by the government towards Ireland . He next ., in a Bpeech of striking eloquence , appealed to the people to do their duty in resisting all encroachments

    upon their civil and religious liberties . Mr . Glen retired amid great cheering . The Chairman put tbe resolutions , which were carried unanimously . A petition to Parliament was read to tbe meeting , and carried amidst cheers . Mr . Robert Peddie , from Edinburgh , was next introduced by tbe Oaairman . He explained the workings of the Irish Arms Bill in 1798 , and after relating some of the mest cruel and unjust acts which were ever perpetrated on a cbrialian peop . ' e , proceeded to give tbe meeting somo account c £ the treatment of political offenders in the jails and heir holes of England . Mr . Peddie addressed the meeting for an hour and a half , upon which he retired amid ' great applause . Tbe meeting then gave three cheers for the Chairman , and three for tbe Bands , and three cheers for tbe Charter and tbe Repeal , after which they retired highly pleased . The meeting was tben aojonrned till next evening .

    CUTHEF . OE .-M 0 HE TrKANNY OF THE MIDDLE Classes . —It had been announced by placard for at least six days previous , that Mr . D . Ross , of Manchester , would -deliver three lectures , in the large room at tho Swan Inn , on the 5 th , 6 . h , and 7 th of June . The first lecture was to be upon Elocution ; the second on tho political aspect of Chartism ; and the third on tho Evils of the Competitive System . When Mr . Ross entered the Swan Inn , at tho appointed time , he was very impertinently told by the landlord that he could not have the room . Mr . Ross—What is the reason I cannot have it \ Mr . Holderness—I have twenty reasons . Mr . Ross— Give one reason 1 Mr . Holderhess—Tho room ia my own ; I am master here . As an Englishman , I am opposed to Chartism , and it shan ' t be mentioned here .

    During this conversation , a Mr . Horsfall , an nnderstrapping manufacturer , one of ; the saintly disciples of the League , began to vociferate like a moonstricken maniac , stating that he would bag all those in his or their 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 the manufacturing despots of the age . After a little more conversation of this sort , this "humane" employer appeared so overcome with passion , as to be ready to faint . ; Ashamed of being made to look so truly contemptible in the eyeB of the workies , by whom he was , surrounded , he stated that he could stand it no longer , and evidently showed gymptcms of fight , prefacing hia gestures with , sundry

    oaths and angry imprecations , upon which Mr . Ross told him , jthat 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 tho landlord , asking him what authority he acted upon ; when he replied that he 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 . Ross remarked that despite the disposition of the magistrates , they lacked the means to do so , having the authority of the ; highest lawyers in the realm for maintaining the right of public discusssion . A number of working men , who were present during this converation , were forcibly

    ejected by one of those precious donations bequeathed by the Whigs during their merciless administration , yciept a policeman ; this preoious functionary had been previously well crammed with ; strong drink in order to inflate his valour to the . fighting point ; meantime Mr . Ross and the landlord were engaged in altercation , the landlord stating that he could at any time crush Chartism by argument ; upon which Mr . Ross requested him to Bend for theindusttious magistrates , who had so busily interested themselves on tho occasion , and having placed one of the abovenamed authorities in the chair ,, Mr . Ross would undertake to prove that they knew no more of Chartisai , its powerj , and capabilities , than the members of the establishment know of justice 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 done with these violators of the public faun , left them to their own reflections . Upon entering the street , surrounded by a number of his friends , he was followed by the policeman , whose desponding demeanour proved how much he was disappointed in consequence of not haviug an opportunity afforded him of conveying some one to prison , there to be dealt with according to the caprice jot the public authorities . This disturber of the public peace told Mj % Ross that he must move on , upon which Mr . Ross told him that he had better move off . The policoman , 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 Buch individuals the right ot addressing him . Here the policeman looked alarmingly big , elevating at the same time his indolent arm , in which he carried a weapon , as though ho was about to intimate what might' be expected to follow . We toW Mr . Ross that he [ knew him , upon which Mr . Rosa remarked that he could not rejoice in his acquaintance , telling him at tbe same time , that he ought to know him , for Ithat he was most unwillingly compelled to help to maintain him . Here the policeman was greeted with a yell of execration , upon which he withdraw , no doubt to the parties who employed him , in order to be rewarded by hiB trusty supporters for the valuable services be had thus nobly periormed . The room was engaged and paid for at least

    ten days previous . In consequence of the unconstitutional means taken to suppress the three lectures ; intended to have been deliveredjb ; Mr . Ross , it has" been determined that a public ' meeting will be held on the Sabden side of PendlejHill . on Sunday , June 18 th , 1843 , at twelve o'clock' at noon . Mr . Ross aad other gentlemen will attend . Chartists , attend in your countless thousands , and shew that it is vain and fruitless , to attempt to > suppress the righteous cause of demoeracy .

    two-pence , though they are selling tbeir own at three halfpence . Another of the League was doing the same thing , and one bad this very ! la » u week stopped bis engine and reduced hia bauds one halC-ha ! fpenay pet cut , which put about £ 7 per fortnight ; into his pocket . Working men . thia is the way you are to be made happy by ihe League men . Are you settinfled of their intentions ? If you are not watch them closely , and you soon will be . Oh ! I had i forgot to teVl yon , that the individual who had reduced bis weavers told them at the same time , that if he heard any complaints tbe individual who was caught complaining about the matter should be dismissed from his employ . CHELSEA . —Oa Sunday evening , a meeting was held at the Cheshire Cfeeese , Chelsea , to hear a licture on the Repeal ; of the TJnion , by JM r . John O'Leary .
