not yet' stilled They rushed into the town with loud shouts' and made a furious attapk on several of the shops th? bakeries in par ticular Luckily iq most instances the inhabitants 'first receiving account of the riot had taken the precaution of closing up their shops 'and consequently little or no iojury was done with exception of the breaking ot a few windows Some of the bakers threw all the bread their shops contained out' of the windows to ap pease the crowd By this time the military and were called out and through the exertions of Clanchy and Slenders magistrates with the aid of the

TQiTHE PEOPLE IRELAND ellow or two years we have not advanced oreistep towarda Irish independence There is oo need here to remind you what principles previously maintained havebesn witbin that period abandoned what vows broken what friends cooled and enemies exasperated and how at length that potent organisation which you and we toiled so long to raise and which we hoped to see grow proud and strong with the growing spirit and1 gathering might of a nation has been cruelly shattered to pieces and made a byeword to tha world With grief and bitter shame we have seen this disastrous consummation and for a moment almoit despaired of our country Butyou Kepsskrs of Ireland bide us be of hope courage You said' obr country shall not be sold orsurrendered for English boobs or promises of English boons we have vowed to do is to set Ireland frea and we follow uo leader who will not lead us straight towards that fulfilment The same vow burns within our hearts also till it be ac aomp'ished we ask you to help us in that great and sacred work we conjure you to be true to yourselves and to our country and may God do so to us and more also if we abandon either you or her I or five mouths have we striven for this to preserve our principles our characters unsullied our strength whole national uncirCUmsCtibed and un We'are speedily about to advance those prin ciples t6 eXert that strength bcldly fearlessly and we trust widely But it is needful that we ahould first recur once more to the past Nearly a month has elapsed since we declared at the Ro tundo that the controversy between the Repeal Association and the Seceders was finally closed We had then re luctantly resigned all hope of reconciliation and bad resolved todowhatwe cuu'd for the public cause apart from the association and indifferent to its attacks Circumstances have since aris vyhich render it neces sary that we should for onte depart from this determina tbit we shou'd ask your attention once again a subject by which considering the present condition of the couh ry it has been occupied much too long Up to the day of the Rutundo meeting had not ceased to call earnestly for reconciliation Our advances were received with insult and calumny but we overlooked all thia in our anxiety to secure to the country at thia dreadful time the protection nf a united and independent popular association in every attempt to bring about a re non we determined that ot least the people should know how and why these disastrous divi ions had arisen and with that view the meeting at the Rotundo was held Our object then was to demonstrate that the origin of the dissensions was owing to no fault of ours Our present pur pose is to show that we are equally guiltless of their con tinuance to prove that a reconciliation on any other terms than those proposed on behalf of the Seceders could not be hoped and ought not to be desired To this end it will be necessary to go a little behind and beneath the Secession and its immediate antecedents' i There have been for some years in the committee of the association marked differences of opinion of questions of considerable importance Those questions related mainly to the financial arrangements of the association to the tone and spirit in which religious subjects were treated in its public meetings and especially to the timid and un progressive policy whose origin dated from the liberation from prison of the seven Rpealers in 1844 This new policy operated from that hour to the Its developement gradual and nearly imperceptible at first soon began to be marked by steps evidently retro grade from nationality by steps in every direction but towards Repeal on Mr part by his ready de viation to ederalism and as sudden surrender of it by dragging topics of religious dissension into the association which had been theretofore preserved strictly neutral in that respect by introducing into the hall every question upon which difference existed in the committee and above all by the unaccountable abandonment of those great plana of advancing our agitation which were announced and adopted from time to time as the system of arbitra tion courts the council of three hundred the systema ic refusal of Repeal members of parliament to attend the house save on some specific Irish business and the like The advent of the present British government furnished still further opportunities of carrying out that disastrous and anti national policy and hurried before the public those fatal dissensions which were so long confined to the com mittee Those persons in the Committee who have been driven from the association had striven long and earnestly to cor rect the glaring delects in the management of the finances They protested and voted against items of expenditure which appeared to them fruitless or extravagant They insisted especially ou the necessity of a regular published audit of the accounts not so much to satisfy the contribu tors to the fund the gieat majority of whom probably regarded Mr character as a sufficient guarai for its proper application as to remove all objections on this score from the minds of those who were not yet mem bers of he association and who did not repose such implicit confi fence in Mr On one occasion they sue ceeded in obtaining a vote of the committee nominating three respectable merchants in this city to inspect the accounts but although two years have now elapsed since that vote was passed the accounts have never been submitted to the gentlemen A tenth audit has been recently announced but the usual certificate signed by the auditors has not been published and as to who the present auditors may be know only this that they are not the persons named by the above mentioned vote of the committee The gentlemen who have since been excluded were fully sensible of the pernicious effeC'S of this system They knew that Mr Grey Porter was one of thousands amongst his order wjo longed to do honourable service to the country and who like him were repelled from the association by unaudited and unpublished accounts They were also deeply dissatisfied on the same public grounds with the system which gave the treasurer power to disburse large sums without the previous knowledge or subsequent sanc tion of the committee And they frequently doubted and reasoned amongst themselves whether it were not better to retire silebdy from the association than to submit to these fatal irregularities They remained believing that tne exposure ot those abuses would be a greater eil than a temporary toleration of hoping that their perse ver ng efforts to correct them would be in the end success ful Possibly they acquiesced too long and they are will ing to submit to such censure as this forbearance may merit As to the discussion of religious questions in the asso ciation the difference of opinion was exactly this: Before the inti oduction of the bequests bill and the col leges bill an understanding had existed ih the cemmittee to the effect that subjects upon which there was a serious difference of opinion should be as much as possible avoided at the public meetings" This understanding was not limited to any particular class of subjects Mr him self abstained the association to certain views respecting the franchise in deference to the opinion of Mr O'Brien and reports on various subjects not at all connected with religion were habitually withdrawn and never published when a considerable number of the committee expressed themselves opposed to the principles contained toern The sound policy of this rule is apparent Such an association ought to work for one object only the res toration of Irish independence It ought to endeavour to unite all Irishmen in pursuit of this object It cannot suc ceed in this so long as questions upon which even Repealers entertain widely different views are hotly debated at its meetings Much less likely is it to succeed so long as attempts are made to force the opinions of one portion of the association upon another and to pledge the whole body to principles from which a large portion of it widely dissents This last was the precise course adopted with respect to the colleges act Mr O'Connell was not satisfied with introducing the question at the public mee'ings in violation of the rule above mentioned he further insisted that no member should express an opinion cn it iff ring from his own for the time being Catholics were branded as infidels who dared to bold the opinions which were held by the highest dignitaries ii their church and by Mr O'Connell himself during tr5 previous fifty years of his life Pro testants were personally and publicly insulted lor interfering in a question which was said to affect the Catholic religion exc'usively Those members of the committee who now rank as foresaw clearly enough the conclusion to which this course of conduct would inevitably lead and they exerted every effort to avert it They remonstrated with Mr(O Connell they besought Mm not Xo violate the rule by which ity of opinion and of action was not to introduce disunion into the councils of the association They sent a deputation to him and placed in hishandsa written protest signed by about forty members of the committee Disregarding all remon strances and consequences Mr proceeded to force the qssociation into an attitude of unqualified hosti lity to the principle of mixed education and his retainers pet formed their accustomed task of howling down and ca Jumn ating every man who presumed to differ in opinion from him Let us here say a word nr two upon the cry of infidelity false calumnious ad malignant cry which was then raised against these who differed from Mr ueii ana wnicn now tnreatens to become like the No Popery ary i rival in absurdity the last resource of a party whose couduct doesnot admit of any legitimate or rational defence None of: thosa against whom the cry has been raised ever advocated the colleges bill in the shape in which it at oce become lw They uniformly treated it asamea Wtjth very jerious defects and requiring extensive al requiring especially some provisions for the reRgmus teaching and training of youth They were soensible of its defects 'that failing in obtaining the desired HicpWfementa they were disposed to reject the bill

his are mentioned in the following memoril to th will soon increase to 20000 or even 30000 and the parish rates of Liverfool will rise from 2s to 5s or even 10s in the pound At 'the present rate of relief the expendture will not be met with a smaller rate than 4s or 5s the pound if it hould continue on the same scale throughout tbqbe proper and the only remedy for the evil and at the same time the only arrangement which will save Eng land and Scotland from the influx of hundreds of thousands of Irish paupers is to give every man woman and child born in Ireland the same right to parish relief which his been possessed by every one born in England during the last three centuries The whole difficulty with regard to the 15 000 Irish naupers who are now subsisting on the inks of the people of Liverpool arises from the fact that there fs no place in Ireland in which they have a legal claim to If there was it would be easy to send them there and to compel the parishes or unions which had at tempted to free themselves from the cost of supporting their own peer by turnin? them adrift not only to do ao but to pay all the costs of their removal As there is no such place no one here thinks of sending them back to per ish or of allowing them to die in our streets and thus they have become a charge upon this parish and will remain so until the law gives them a settlement and a right to sup port in their own country It will be said in answer to this proposal that if a right to relief was given in Ireland and the property of that country would not suffice for the support of the pauper population To this we irst that this is merely an a sertionand that before the burden of supporting the poor of Ireland as well as their own poor is thrown upon the people of England it ought to be clearly shown by facts that the different parishes of Ireland cannot support them and second that even if that should proveto be the case the proper course is for the parishes to apply to the government for grants in aid of their own resources not to turn out men women and children to take their chance of life or death in the streets of Liverpool Our own be lief is that in the present circumstances of Ireland with nearly half the people in want of subsistence it would be impossible to raise a sufficient amount by rates st once to meet the wants of the people but there is no absence of liberality in the government no indisposition to lend any sum of money however large which may be required to save the Irish people from starvation Even if it were certain that money so lent would be lost we should still say that that would be a much smaller evil than that of al lowing tens and hundreds of thousands of wretched people to be driven from home to live by begging in the towns of England or by encroaching on a fund on which there are already too many claimants It is clear that the pariah of ficers of Liverpool and of other English towns can know nothing of the real character of the crowds thus thrown upon them for support They may be people without any resource or voluntary beggars or a mixture of the two and whether they are the one or the other or both the only choic" lies between relieving them indiscrimately or running the risk of leaving the really destitute to perish in the streets In the places which they come from their real characters and necessities must be known and relief might there be given with some discrimination What we should recommend is that the people of Liver pool should unite to petition for the introduction of a suf ficient poor law into Ireland Without it they will be overwhelmed with the cm of importing Irish paupers LONDON CORN AVERAGES or the Week ended Dec 26 1846 made up from Returns of the Inspectors in the different Cities

but unti1 byword or deed they reCant this perverse and wicked determination to resist the just demands of our country we cannot regard them in any other light than as enemies One measure we are resolved to have that mea sure which shall rid us fcr ever of them and their legisla tion The pursuit of that measure we have vowed never to abandon and if there be truth honesty and courage in this generation of Irishmen we shall have it with the consent of the Whigs or in their despite With those opinions as to the propriety of an alliance with an English party it was nor to be expected that we should continue silent spectators of all that passed between the association and the present English ministers the yielding up of Repeal constituencies without a the undisguised solicitation of places by leading members and the open defence a'd adoption of place hunting as a general rule of conduct Certain members expressed their opinions boldly upon these matters and the physical force was therefore suddenly proclaimed having Jurked for several years unseen in the very heart of tbe as sociation And it is a circumstance well worthy of being remarked that this original and important discovery was made simultaneously by Mr O'Connell and Lord John Rus I ii I i sell Now fellow countrymen you have the true history of the before yon from its birth to its present maturity Ve ask you now to say whether we have accom plished one main end ot tbis address i whether we have proved to your satis'action that a reconciliation on any other terms than those proposed on behalf of the Seceders could not be hoped and ought not to be desired" We did not secede on physical force Certain members of the committee were on one pretence or another excluded because they held opinions opposed to Mr O'Connell on the subjects enumerated above but chiefly because they warned the country against the Whig alliance denounced the surrender of Dungarvan and set their faces against place hunting A great many virtually to be members for protesting against tbe suppression of opinion By far the greater number of the Seceders retired in silent disgust Believing these to be the true causes of the Secession were we to go back without stipulating for a removal of those causes Were we to return to renew the same strife and to arrive at the same result It is said that we evinced a disposition to triumph over Mr that we dictated our terms to him as to a vanquished enemy Let the facts speak Immediately after Mr made bis proposal cf a conference the committee of the Seceders met It was suggested at the meeting that the conditions on which the Ssct ders should insist should be re duced to writing and transmitted to Mr Connell but this suggestion was unanimously rejected on the express grounds that such a course might savour of dictation Resolutions were then passed expressing the satisfaction of tbe meeting with Mr Connell a proposal and intimating their wish that all the differences which led to the secession ahould be aubmitted to tbe conference and finally arranged They purposaly abstained from enumerating the reforms which they wished for because such an enumeration might be regarded as an unseasonable impeachment of Mr Con conduct and policy They sent their resolutions to Mr O'Connell with a respectful communication He re turned the resolutions and published a letter referring to them in which he hinted rather than expressed his deter mination to confine the conference to physical To remove all misconception and ascertain his views accu rately by a personal interview they sent a deputation to wait on him at his house and ascertained that his fixed determination was to enter upon no discussion on any other subject than soma undefined question about physical Then and not till then did they publish a statement of the reforms which they required to have settled or at least discussed on the Conference ellow countrymen our defence is now before you our earnest wish is that you may hear no more of the Secession its delusions and its criminations We have done our utmost to make the association a national body from which no Irishman should be excluded for his religious or political creed to make it a well regulated body from which no man of sensitive feeling would be repelled to make it the hope of all friends of Irish

unanimously That tbis committee requests the attendance of a members of the Irish party at a public meeting to be held in Dublin on the 13th January 1847 William Bryan Chairman Devin Reilly Ac ing Seer coTemporary press TIMES It is now considerably more than a year since we brought upon ourselves a considerable amount of heavy derision by venturing to suggest that the Irish winter of 1846 7 might too probably be even worse than the winter ot 1845 6 We were then set down as alarmists and it was even insinuated that we found our account in the panic wff had created This day is the last of this most event ul year and we pronounce that those writers and those so disant statesmen who allege that the partial fadure of the potato crop in 1845 and tbe consequent distress were a hoax and a sham will admit that the event has borne out the proportion we denoted At least it will be admitted that the present is no unreal calamity But the crisis is too terrible for claiming on their own account the va A 4 a a 4 triumphs of forethought We aie reiernng to onlv for the rake of the future Again we must give vent to our forebodings and declare it to be our soriowful con viction that
