and hate the imputation of offering a word of anything
its the least disrespectful towards my august monarch.
Upon all occasions 1 inculcated principles of sincere
loyalty to the throne; and I distinctly separated all re
ference in my remarks between the person of the Queen
and her ministers. I fear that I have detained you
hinger than I intended in referring to what has hereto•
fore been my public conduct; but in miming to a pro
per estimate of my motives. it was necessary to draw
attention to my acts, and though my expositions may
be feeble—though my talents may be small, though
my energies may be decreasing, and though my strength
may Ise declining. and years increasing, still you will
find then as now implanted itt my breast, a burning
love for the prospelity of Ireland; and, for the liber
ties of my country.
Well. the public meetings did take place; I do not
deny it. Their &eject was the repeal of the Union.—
Was that a had olject? I deny that it was. On the
contrary, it was a most useful oblect for Ireland, so
much so. that before I set clown, I hope to demonstrate
to every one in Court—the neutiiity of the bench of
(leers° excepted—the absolute necessity for such a
measure and its effects on the property, commerce,
Mid industry of your native land. I hope that many
of the jury whom I address, will be induced, from the
strength of the case I shall put befi,re them, to join in
calling for the repeal—La laugh.] It is my duty to
put the facts before you, and I will be able to show to
-demonstration that the English Parliament has, from
remote peried, governed Ireland with a narrow jeal
ousy of Irish prosperity, and in a grudging spirit of 'ts
independence Then I will first refer you to the his- I
tory of our WO< llen manufactures, and to a hat did I
happen in the reign of a monarch whose memory you
probably hold in very great esteem. I will now rail
your attentions to the transactions ut 178 e, which was
looked upon as a final adjustment in relations le tween
the two countries, and when an Irish Parliament was
declared to last forever. I will next direct my obser
vations to prove the great prosperity which followed
as the result of legislative independence. -I will then
shoeltyou that the measure of the Union was forced
upon the Irish people. I will demonstrate the mani
fold evils flowing ft oin it. and the bad effects on our
trade and commerce, and will refer your to the exist
ence of vast distress and misery throughout the land;
and I wit-prove to you that the only remedy for its
car, and for avoiding separation from England, is to
be found hi the restmatien of our native Parliament.
Now, .ts to the ill-treutmeat of Ireland by England,
the fact is so confessedly true, tl.at it is scarcely neces
sary fur mu to adduce any proof of it—it is scarcely'
necessary for me to detain you by any remark upon
this pert of the case, set I am brought here by the At
torney General because I have agitated to bring about
the greatest possible blessings to my countrymen.—
My defence is, that the Repeal of the Union would
relieve all the distress and misery which we behold.
and in the performance of my sacred duty to the Irish
people, I will place theircase trinmphaney before you.
I bare edd thatit was my ditty—l am betted by grati
tude, also. Once I have represented the county of
Clare, with a population of 250,000 inhabitants.—
Once I had the honor of representing the county of
Wetherford, with its 300,1100 inhabitants. Once a
gain I have been returned for my native county Ken ry.
containing n population of 260,000 inhaletnnts. Once
for Meath. whose people amount to 300,000; and I
now stand the representative for the county of Cork,
with a population of 750,000 inhabitants. Besides
this, I have twice had the honor of being a member
of the city of Dublin, and once for Kilkenny. It is,
therefere. my bounden duty—and From motives of grat
itude to those who have shower me such marks of fa
vor—to do all I can to promote their comforts and
prosperity. lam their hired servant. 1 admit it.—
I am their paid servant, and though it may take sway
from the chivalry of ms station, I avow that I receive
their wages, and Inm ready now to tern it. I begin
by showing you the system of misgovernment pursned
by England at all times towards this country, and I
shall quote for your views put forward by an eminent
French historian—one of the literati of his day.
[Mr O'Connell here read an extract from the work
of M 'shiers, irewhich it was stated that the English
Government had for five centeries governed Ireland in.
a spirit of jealousy of- its prosperity—and leseribing
the fertility of the soil—the blessedness poured on it
by nature, bat the wretchedness of its people] That
was a melancholy picture of the manner in which this
ceuntry was governed for five hundred years, and of
the baneful influence of English Government. Have
I the authority of Thil ry alone!—No. I have also the
authority of Mr Pitt for the advantages possessed by
Ireland; and I find him, in discussing the commercial
propositions of 1785, admitting that it was the uniform
policy of England to depress Irish interests, in order
to advance their own. That is not my language, it
is the lringuage of Mr Pitt, avowing opouly the policy
pursued by England towards Ireland. I now coma '
to another authority, which, 4'this Court, at all events
will carry great weight. I mean that of the late !
Chief Justice Buse-he. Listen. I beseech you. to the
words of that gifted man :—"You are called upon to
give up yobr independence, and to whom are you cal
led upon to give it up ? To a nation which has for
six hundred years treated you with uniform oppress,
sloe and injustice. The Treasury Bench startles et
the assertion—non teens hie aerate ea. If the Trete
sury Bench scold me; Mr Pitt will scold them; it is '
its assertion, in so many words, in his speech. Ire
land,
says he, has always been treated with injustice
and illiberality. Ireland, says Junius, has been uni- I
formic plundered and opressetl. This is not the slam
der of Junius, nor the candor of Mr Pitt—it is history.
For centuries have the British Parliament and nation
kept you down, shackled 'Tier commerce, and paraly
zed
your exertions—despised your character, and ri
diculed your pretensions to any privileges, commercial I
of unctristitutional. She has never conceded a point I
to yen which she could avoid, or granted n favor which
was not reluctantly distilled They have been all

PITTSBURGH, THURSDAY, MARCH 21, 184
FOR GOVERNOR,
H. A. MUHLENBERG.
MR CRAM AND Tat "MAIUXIS WHlGS."—Yes
terdny's Chronicle crintainsn long letter from Mr Cruig
showing the consistency of his political course, and
giving those who are now denouncing him some very
severe licks. We are not in the least interested in
the disputes between the federal factions, but we can
not help remarking that in our opinion Mr Craig has
the big end of the stink. and that he will very likely
make his opponents feel the weight of it before be is
dune with tirmi.
The whip and anties acted very fool:shly in discard
ing Craig and the other old lender s to make room fur
a set of tyros in politics who have neither the confi
dente of the party nor the skill to manage matters if
they had. He sever detestable Craig's political opin
ions may be, we believe they are honestly entertained,
and that he has always been consistent in earring
them out. This gave him un influence that was very
troublesotne to the d.mocratswhilehe W 34 at the head
of the federal patty and kept ner opponents .united ,
when, if a less skilful leader had air vied their af
fairs the corruptions of their party would have btcume
apparent. But they could•n: hear their prosperity;
the success of their parity iuspir^d seine fledgling poli•
ticians with a d.•ore to been tie p.liticnl leaders, and
in accomplishing their own elevation they found i t
necessary to put down Craig and his colleague,.
They have accomplished their purpose ; the old lead
er' and wheel horses of antim isonry have been dis
carded, and the wing party of Allegheny county is
now controlled by the odds and ends of all factious.
Our neighbor of the Gazette is a fair sample of those
who now control the destinies of whiggery in this
county. The facility with which he adapts hi nself
to circumstances is very surprising anti has obtained
him a notoriety for making political flip-flaps that
will live long after the hopes of the whig party are
dead and buried. First a mason, then a furious anti
mason; once bitterly opposed to Clay and slavery
anon the eulogist of the Grand master and denouncer
of all who object to him on account of his slavery
principles ; thus in three short years making six dis
tinct dm:life', and we are now waiting with a tiro be
lief that bAlare the cud of the present year ho will
perform some antipodean feat more wonderful than
any of his former somersens.
We note these, things not for the purpose of insinu
ating that Mr White is unfit to be a political lender
among the whip. on the contrary we believe him to
be a marvellous proper man for that position in tkag
party, lout we want to let the public see the kind of
men .that have heel/ selceted to fill the vacancies oc
casioned by kicking out Craig and the other antima
sonic patriarchs who had so often led the party to
victory. Wo are well satisfied with the changes that
have been made in the political leaders of our oppo
nent's, for we ilo not believe that it will be any loss to
the democrats. and we hope the Clay mon may con
tinue to abuse all the old antima sons who impudently
refuse to sustain Grand Master Clay and Slavery.
ASSOC LA T 1611.-1 V bile we are disposed to look with
favor, as we have heretofore frequently said, on the ef
forts now making to re-organize society, and to secure
to mankind that social and political equality so neces
sary to their happiness. it strikes us, nevertheless
that the advocates of the project, however commen
dable their intentions, are beginning this noble under-'
taking at the wrong end, and with the wrong sort of
people. lf we understand their doctrine, the disci
ples of Fourier hold that mankind are by nature good,!
and that the misery, crime and degradation which we
constantly behold is the result of a false system of so
ciety, by which we are placed in circumstances averse
to our happiness, and repugnant to our dispositions.—
To remedy this they propose a complete reform of the I
whole system of Labor, whereby it will be made at
tractive and ennotiling,instend of repugnant -and de.
grading, contending that tureiches and activity are all
that are required to make men happy, they never can
be an while their wants instead of their inclinations,
drive them to labor. To this fact, they attribute the
crime and wretchedness so prevalent in the worldos.
place before us an Eden, 4'where the wicked cease
from troubling and the weary are at rest" This is
all very well and very pleasant; but the conditions up.
on which we are admitted into this Paradise, seem to
destroy completely the beniftoent design of its area-
ti on. Although intended For the regeneration of
man, and to ' ,titan end to the miseries of the present
isytam, none but the good and virtuous are permitted
to itsareiu benefits. Although established 'expressly
to save mankind from the ruin and evils which she
found in society as it now is, it most inconsistently as
we thi•sk, rejects the essociation of those who have
3loastoss to blisstsstert.—The Mobile Register
teems by a letter from Sumter county, Ala., that the
Mormons are making a somewhat formidable demon
stration in an adjoining county In Mississippi. They
commenced operations at Pleasant Springs, late in the
fall, and now number about seventy-five proselytes—
some twenty being seceders from the Methodist con
nexion, and about twenty; six from the Baptist—the
balance from non-professors. They have recently
commenced propogating their faith at Brooklyn, only
a few miles from the Alabama State line, where they
will probably meet with a like success.
Ma CALHOtlN.—Nothing definite hes been heard
from Mr Calhoun relative to his acceptance of the of
fice of Secretary of State. The Charleston Mercury
says that it is the general wisher Mr Calhoun's friends
in that place, that ho should accept the State Depart
ment.
THE OLD GRANITE STATE ALL RIGHT !
The democrats will have larger majorities in eve?) ,
branch of the state government. Siesta's majority
will probably come up to 2000. Hero is an example
for Connecticut, which we feel savored she will follow
in a manner that will do honor to her sterling democ
racy.
P. s.—We received a slip from the office of the N.
H. Patriot lastevening, giving returns from 101 towns
which confirms the ebuve,and which states that Steele's
majority will be much increased over Hubbard's of
last year.--Boston Post.

DR McLANE'SCELEBRATED LIVER PILL.
for the cure of Hepatites or Liver Complaint,
Dyspepsia and Sick Headache.—This remedy having
been for several years employed by the proprietor in
his practice, on a very large scale, in Monongalia,
Preston, Harrison, and Randolph counties, in Virginia,
besides several other places, and having been attended
with the mosthappy effects, he has been, from time to
time, solicited to adopt such a course na would give
it a more extensive circulation, with ti.view to lessen
the amount of human suffering. Aware of the fact that
many useless nostrums have been palmed upon the
public, he hesitated for several years, until thoroughly
convinced that the nbove medicine, if properly used,
Would not foil to effect cures in a great many instances,
and even to alleviate those cases which are quite incu
rable.
The proprietor is happy to state, that the above re
medy gives great and prompt relief in that afflicting
disense, siek headache. Indeed, if it is used accord
ing to the directions, accompanied with the use of lime
water, taken twice a day in doses of hulf a gill, in a
gill of warm new milk, the attack* will occur at longer
and longer intervals, till they entirely disappear.
