The following is the concluding portion of It; Thb boaslof British Itiw is that it nbhors.tho shod? ding oThuman blood. Yield to its benign principles, to the generous impulses of your nature, and stand between the prisoner and his grave. A horrible death -—a .crave'ho must not him.' Stive him by a liumdn verdict,from a fate Bo dismal.— Review his life. • From his mother’s breast ho drank in a love of country—from a fother’s patriotic ex ample the passion grew to a dangerous height. Ho has indulged perhaps a vision, to the peril of life, that. Ireland, might bo - a‘ nation, and you her guides to wealth and greatness.' Is not death upon the scaffold a terrible punishment for the belief, although mis. guided, that Irishmen had intellect enough to rule the country of their birth?'.ln his childhood he hoard that the Union was carried by corruption. He heard from an Irish Senator whom money could not bribe—who gave his honest vote, and would have freely given his life, to save the perishing CohstUu*. lion of his country. . • • ' * .. ■ That father recounted Ip-ray client.what Plunkbt, Bushe and Grattan spoke bn the lust memorable night of our National existence. How he had boon per suaded by the gravily of their arguments, influenced by their ardor, and transported by their eloquence ! His youthful imagination, Bred by a sense of Ireland’s' wrongs, dwelt on the days when wo had a; gentry and a Senate wilh intense consistency, and the pasr slops grow that he might restore a Parliament to the land he loved* This is his crime, all his actions were directed to this end, and he has been misled by the too implicit reliance on doctrines unfortunately ar gued by great lawyers in the heat of debate, which they could not recall, and which have misdirected many. Your countrymen followed up these, as he I believed,‘constitutional opinions. Ha wished poster*! ily to review the political transaction ho had been taught to condemn. This was tho source of all his errors. Blltcr'dis* (appointment has crushed his ardent hopes, but a* (preliminary, constitution ho wished and meanUto have given to Irola'nd. No manVproperty iVould ho have touched—no law of God or man would ho have broken.—Ho was misled Into the dclusioh tho't Ire land's gentry were qualified for freedom. Loved by those who know him, generous, disinterested, utterly unselfish through life, humane and tender hearted— he now stands, at tho bar of his country to answer for having meant to kill tho Queen and subvert llife constitution which in heart ho adores* Bis true of. fence is, that ho courted for you what is' glory, and blessing and pridp'. Deeply he may have erred in. pursuit of this darling objebl—will you avenge his misdirected patriotism by a dreadful death? .You may do so; and ho earthly inducement will tompt'mo to say, If you pronounce tho awful sentence of guilty-—that you have not given tho verdict science demanded. If his countrymen condemn my client, ho'will be ready (u meet liisTalo with the'faith of a Christian, and with the firmness- of n man; (sen* salion.) The,last accents of his lips will breathe a' prayer for Ireland’s happiness, Ireland's constitu tional freedom. The dread moment that ahull pro cede his mortal agonies will be consoled, if through His sufferings and sacrifice .some merit shall arise—which I aver has never existed— just, comprehensive, impartial, and above all, consis lent; which .may conduct to wealth, prosperity, und greatness, tho country hb has loved, not wisely; perhaps, but too well. Would to God My. Smith O’Brien were my only client. The'fiUurcJiappitices of an honorable, ancient, loyal tSfmily, at stake—the Church, the Bar, tho Senate; ca)i furnish relatives near and dear to this unhappy gentleman; who, although they differ in political opinion have hastened to give him broth erly consolation this melancholy day; Ireland has beeff the scene of their benevolent exertion's—the source of their joys and pridej her misery has been their ofQictinn, hcrgleams of prosperity their delight, Wilh bolder hearts, should you consign (he prisoner to the scaffold, they must henceforward struggle on through a cheerless existence, laboring In eofrow fur ,tho country they love. A venerable lady, who has dwelt amid an uffec tionato tenantry, spendingJior income whore it was raised, diffusing, her charities and blessings around, awaits nowi with (rciubling heart,your verdict." If a verdict consigning her beloved son to death—that' heart will quickly beat no more; Alaslnioye dread ful still—six innocent children will, hoar from your, lips whether they are to bo stripped of an indepen dence which has descended in his family for ages— whether, they arc to bo driven; fatherless and beg gared, upon the.world, by thc rigor of a barbarous and cruel law—-'whether they are lobe restored to 'peace and joy, or plunged into.lho uttermost depths of black despair. There is another who clings to hope—hope, may it bo blessed,in you!—Her life’s blood would bo gladly shed to save the object of her youthful affections—you will not consign her to an untimely grave 1 [During tho delivery of this passage, the' entire audience became visibly moved,and for the first time since tho trial Smith O’Brien’s lip quivered and lira *yo filled, ns the mother, brother, children and wife, mourning over their possible loss.was visi bly • presented to his mind. For a moment he bent hi* bead on his hand; ho firmly pressed his brow for a few*- seconds, and again resumed his unwonted oalmneßB.““'Not so the audience, the bar, the jury, the occupants of the benches, all continued deeply moved, and from many a manly eye to which tears had lon|r been stronger*; tho big drops rolled in rapid succession.' Wo never remember to have seen so profound a sensation .as that produced by the gifted advocate, whose odtion and.tone, far more eloquently than even his living words, expressed tho deep emo tions wilh which his own heart was moved at the contemplation of an adverse verdict.] In cose of doubt, at the very worst; let a father's pity be awakened—a husband's love bo moved.' Let Justice bcwadminlslercd —but Justice In Mercy. In no pitiful strains do ) seek compassion for my client, even in a ease of blood. I ask it solemnly in the spirit of our freo-Constitution—ln accordance with the rooted principles of our Common Law. This is a cause between the Subject arid, the Crown, wherein these groat principles.might ahlnojn glorious perfee* lion. A verdict of his aoqultal in accordance with his Divine doctrine will not bo's triumph over the Law, but the triumph of the Law. When the Sove reign seals,by her coronation oath, the great compact between the People end the Crown, she swears to execute, In all her-judgment, Justice In Mvrny.— (Sensation In Court ) That some Justice you ad (riinlsler—no rigorous, remorseless, sanguinary- code —but Justice in Mercy. I Where, as hero, the crime consists in the Intent of the hear!, and you can believe that intent nolronsnn able, or oven doubtful, then, to the solemn obligation even of coldest duty, you should yield to mcrOy (great sensation.) In nothing, though at an immea. ’ surablo distance stij), do men on earth 90 nearly up; prooch the attribute of (he Almighty as in the ud minlslrolion of justice-Divine justice will bo tern pered with mercy, or dismal would bo anr fate. As 5 you hope for meroy from the Groat Judge, grant It 1 this day. Tho awful issue of life and death are in r your hands—do justice in mercy. The last faint murmur on your quivering lips will bo Ibr mercy, ore tho immortal spirit shall wing its flight, I trust, to a brighter world. .* Washington and Lamartine* The following is a copy of a letter received by Mr. \V.
