THRILLING SPEECH OF A CONDEMNED FENIAN. The following noble speech of. Calorie Burke, formerly an officer in the Confeder ate army, now under ',Menne of death in Ireland, we get from the Cork Examinsr of the 2nd inst. It will melee the blood tingle in the veins of every mm who la not lost to all love of liberty —En , *NMIMAM My Lords—lt is not my intention to oc cupy much of your time in answering the question why the sentence of the court should not now be passed ou me. But I may, with your permission, review a little of the evidence that has been brought 'aping me. The first evidence I would speak, is that of Sub-Inspector Kelley who had the conversation with me in Conmel Tiperary lie states that he asked eith, ler "How was my friend," or "What nbOut my friend Stephens," and that I made amy wer and said he was the r most idolized min that ever had been or ever Would .be in America. Bert, 'lauding in the prelienee of the Almighlj and Ever Living God, I brand that as being the foulest perjury that man ever gave utterance to. No such conversationever ooeured. The name of Stephens was not mentioned I shall pass from that and then touch upon the evidence of Britt Ile-states that I &sallied in dis tributing the bread to the parties in the fort, and that I stood with him in the wag on or cart That is alserfalse. I was net ~ in the fort at the time at all; I was not there when the bread was being distributed I came in afterwards. Both of these as sertions have been made and submitted to the men, In whose hands my life rented, As evidence =dein oath by thesernen—maile solely aKii purely for the purpose of giving my body to an untimely grave. There are many points, my lords, that have been sworn to here to prove my complicity in a great many acts, it has been alleged I took Dart in. It is not my desire, now, my lords, to give utterance to one word against the ver 7.3tletrieh lob has been pronounced upon me. But, fully conscious of my boner !is a man, which has never been impugned—fully con scious that I can go into my grave , with a name and character tinsulliedl can only say this: that these parties, actuated by • desire either for their own aggrandisement er to save their , paltry„miserable,livee,have pandered 10 - tkserliiiite, if I may so spqak of Judie.; and my Ilfeshail be the forfeit . ., Fully convinced and satisfied of the riglit eon aaaaa of my eiery act in connection pith the late revolutionary movement in Ireland, I have nothing to recall—nothing that I would net do again-cotbing, that would brill up the blush vr shams to mantle my brow g my emadnot Nd career, both here and In America—if you like, as a sokiler;-- are before you and even in ?his my hour of trial the consciousness of baying lived an honest man; and I will die proudly, be lieving that If I bare given my life to free dom end liberty to the laud of no, birth, I have done only that vhish every Irishman and every ran 'obese soul throbs with a feeling of liberty should do. I, my lords, shall coarsely—l feel I should not at all— mention the noted of Massey. I feel I should not point. my lips with the name 0; that traitor whose illegitimacy has been proved hers—a man whose mune is not even known, 'find who, I deny point blank, ever wore the star of a colonel* the Con federate army.

I am an Irishman by hit tit, an American by adop tion, by nattire a lover of freedom, and an enemy to that power that bolds my native land in the bonds of tyranny. It has so ofteu been atlinitied that the oppiessed have a right to tbopw off-the yaks of op pression, even by English statesmen, that I deem it unnessery to advert to the fact in a British Court of Justice. Ireland's chil dren are not—never were—and never will be—willing or submissive •laves, and so long as England'a flag covers one inch of soil, just so long will thy believe it to be a Divine right to coneptre, imagine and de vise means to burl from power, and erect in its stead the Godlike eitucture(of self government. Before I go any further have ono important duty that I wish to dis pose of. To my learned, talented, and elo quent counsel, I offer that poor gift—the Abanks—the sigticre e t ti f i grateful thanks an honest man. I o er him too, in the name of America, the thanks of the Irish people. I know (bat I am here without a relative, without a friend In feet—three thousand miles away from my famjly. But I know that lam not forgotten there. The great and generous Irish heart of America to day feels for—to day sympathises with, antl does not forget the man who is willing to tread theseeffold—aye,defisolly—prouti ly conscious of no wrong—in 'decenia of 1 liberty. I now, to Mr. Butt, Mr. Dowse, Mr. O'Loghlio,—all my counsel, one of whom was, I believe, Mr. Curran—and my able solicitor, Mr. Lawless— I return to them individually and collectively my sin-, ecre and heartfelt thank.. I shall now, my lord, as np doubt you will suggest the pro priety of, turn my attention to Cite world beyond the grave. I ehalinow look on that home where sorrows are at an end—where joy ie eternal. I shall hope and pray that freedom may yet dawn on this potr down Weddell country..., Tinal is my hope and my prayer ; and the last:words I .hall utter will be a prayer to God for forgivness, sad a prayer for poor old Ireland. Now, my lords, In relation to theotherman,Borydon, I will make a few remarks. Perhaps before I go to Corydon I should say much has beta. spoken on that table of Col. Kelly, and of the meeting held at his quarters or lodg iogs in London - Desire to state I never knew where he lived in London until I heard the informer Massey announce it on the table. I never attended a meeting at Colonel Kelly's, and the hundred other statements about him that have been ma le to your lordships, and, to you, gentleman of the jury, I now solemnly declare on my honor as a man—aye, as a dying man— these statements have been totally unfoun ded and false from beginning to end. In relation to the small paper that wits intro duced here and brought against me, as evi dence, as having been found on my parson, in connection with that oath I desire to say that paper wee not found on my pereon,and I know no person whose name was on that poen. o,ll3yrne, of Dublin, or those other persons ycu have heard of, I never saw nor met. 'that paper has been put in there for some purpose. I con swear positively that it was not In my hand writing • I can also swear I never saw it, yet it-is used as evi dence against me Is thiejustice ? Is this right? Is this manly ? I am willing, if I have transgriesed the laws, to suffer the punishment, but I object to this system of trumping up a case to take Only the life of a hum's being. True, I ask for no mercy. My present emaciated form—my omit itu tion earnewhat shattered—it is better that my life should be brought to an end than to drag out a miserable existence in the prison fens of Portland MEE TIZXM Thus it is, my lords, I accept the verdict. Of course, my acceptance of it is unneces sary ; but lam satisfied with it And now I shall close True it is, there are many many feelings that senate me at this mo ment. In fact, these few dumonaeoted re marks can give no idea of what I desire to state to the court. I have tics to bind me to life and society as strong as any man in this court. I have a family I love as much as any man in this court. But I can re member the bit: Wing received from an aged mother's lips as I left her the last time. She spoke as the Spartan mother did : "Go my boy, return either with your shield or upon it." This reconciles me. This glees me heart. lsubenit to my doom, and I hope that God will forgive me my past sins. I hope, too, that Inasmuch as lie has for seven hundred years preserved Ireland ,not withstanding all the tyranny to which she has been subjected, as a 'tapers(' and dis tinct nationality, he also willatalst hilt to retrieve her halm? , fortunes—to ride in her ly and majesty—the eietbr of Columbia lie peer of any nation in the world. The yriponer , beip ceased, and stepped back from the front Of the dock, just as calmly as he had advanced to it, but with perhaps a slight additfonal lustre In his eye and a heightened color. Throughout, he serer hesitated for s word, but spoke slow ly, distinctly and deliberately to the end.

They are breaking down all bar rier! and restraints on tffirpower gressional majority, and reducing all other authorities, Stitte and Federal, to its abso lute sway. They are reducing the govein ment from a constitutional Republic to a despotic oligarchy, all the worse for being elective, because therefore evet .changing and over hungry They• are doing for the United States what Nero could only wish for to Rome : They aro making one neck alas all the people, and putting the sword in the hands of Congress While the majority in Congress are thus employed, they harp numerous revolution ary co-workers amqng those otherwise op posed to them "We have no Constitution now," is The cry on every hand. ..It is veld, tO tippolie Congress any longer. Bet ter pay no honor to the Presidential office or its incumbent ; for Congress will perse cute those who treat the executive authori ty with the least respect. Make no appeal to the courts for the protection they were ordained to afford,—for it will irritate Congress, and draw Trom it fresh violence " Thus from lawless ambition on th&one hand, and.limorons compliance on the oth er The multitudeof all parties are uniting to recognize and enthrone a revolution in our system of government more fatal than the despotism of Sultan or Czar, ands.sthore dis astrous than the combined horrors of war, pestilence and famine- 1 Suppose the overthrow of the Constitu tion and the despotic sway of Congress be reoognized and established —what then T . Alas and alas for the country thenceforth ! The issue ott.which the party at present in poWer has maddened and misled the coun try, cannot be made available forever, or much longer. Some new question will di ride the people, and the present outs will ' become the ins. - And ill...twill conic to the rule smarting 'under the wrongs and India & nities they have suffered, and burning with the 'spirit of retaltatton These in their turn, will finally give place, to their rivals, with their wrongs to redress and fresh cru elties to indulge In short, the country will be torn by com peting factions, alternately triumphant,and developing fresh feuds and - growing bitter noises by their retaliations and revenges The country, under such a rule, would be like a boat rocking under the rush of elle crew from side to side alternately, soon to dip, and finally to founder! Suppose the opponents of the Radicele were to come into power to-morrow It would be a marvel of public virtue and dis interestedness were they to proceed at once to repair the bulwarks and defences of the Constitution, and restore the rule of the law. Mr. Sewiird has tinkled his little boll in many ears that Lave not. forgotten 0, add long to treat him to similar music• Siarston has 'sent many men to prison who are burning to revenge it. The leaders in Congress have expelled too many men for their opinions, and have abused the forms of the Qonetitgtion for personal ambitions and persecutions, too often and too long, not to provoke retaliations The represen tatives of Radical Slates have made too free with States whose political complexiese did not suit them, not to have taught their adversaries a similar mode of pursuing party advantage. "New England will suf fer for all this, some day !"—is the cry all ready. The plea' or intiffilar government will be sufficient to justify the running of the six New England States into one, when the Constitution shall cease to guard them; for if the Slates are but as counties, they should be represented in the Senate as in the House, according to numbers. Cair any one ealmty contemplate the oc cult of thir revolution, whist the ambitious and persecuting on the one hand, and the cowardly and compliant on titre other, are assisting to eensitmate ?
