Among these the liberation of O'Brien and his
companions by the British at the instance of the
American government would be a signal - aud
meuioraote sununese, glorious to r-ngland, grate
f ul to America, delightful to Ireland I an act of
magnanimous benificence by which American
succor to Ireland would be nobly repaid.
Wsdaiming all idea of improper interference
with British control, or suggesting their execu
tive policy, may we not believe that British jus
tice would be unimpared, and British policy
promoted by the pardon of these unfortunate
gentlemen, entreated by the American offspring,
in some measure, of Great Britain herself.
Pardon, the most attractive attribute of royal
powers, may it not be urged by Americans, is
the obvious policy of the illustrious lady who
benignly wields the sceptre of that mighty em
pire. These unhappy exiles have long suffered
the incessant torture of exclusion from domestic
endearments, which their monarch's virtuous
example inculcates as among the most precious
enjoyments of her subjects. fche has named one
of her princely sons in token of regard for Ire
land. On this side of the Atlantic we are free
to estimate and characterize her reign. Would
not the successor of the Elizabeth and Mary
Queens of England, under whom her imperial
realms are no longer ruled with rods of iron,
perform an act of royal grace and clemency more
potent than any exercise of Executive power, by
pardoning thoe puniehtd for zc&Iotjs love of

The following resolution was offered said unani
mously adopted:
Rtolvi, That the officers of this moating alga
ths address which has been read to the meeting;
and that it be transmitted by the Governor, Wm,
F. Johnston, to Millard Fillmore, President of
ths United States.
The Hnn. Joseph R. Chanuler seconded the
notion for the adoption cf the resolution, and
moved that the same eLouIJ be triT'smitted to
the President, with the statures of the oZ:
cf the meeting. He then made a few eloquent
remarks in tteir support, in which he referred
to the effort now going forward in the old world,
to re-claim and re-est&bliih the rights of man.
He referred to the movements which had been
made in this city on similar occasions, to th
enthusiasm which pervaded this community when
the Greeks arose against the Ottoman oppression,
and when the fees of this people were upon one
side and famine upoa the otherwhen a meeting
cf the citiiens of this city was hold in that pUce,
at which BUhop W hite preaidod, and that he did
not reduce the dignity of his station by inter
ceding in this righteous cause.
He also j eferred to a movement of a similar
character in behalf of Poland; that men and
money had ben raised here, but that it wu too
la. The hand of oppression was down. Poland
was extinct from the liat of nations. The Ameri
can people, said he, have always been ready to
expreaa their sympathies for the oppressed. He
then referred in glowing term, to the efforts of
th lriah patriots, and concluded his remarks by
calling upon the meeting to adopt the aJdreas
and paa the resolution, which was done amid
Loud c hoe ring
Mr. Z. Cullia Le, of Maryland, next ad
dred the meeting. Ua d that he wm proud
of the opportunity of recip rocating the feelings
of his own State and city (Baltimore) with thos
oi r iii.aeipnia. v, e have a m bled, said he,
to do honor to that great principle which is the
foundation of all good, and that principle from
which our government -prang into existence.
He then delivered one of the moet eloquent, im
preaadve and touching ajpai in behalf of the
Irish exile that we have ever listened to, but
the small amount of spaoe allotted to us, compels
us reluctantly to omit it
Mr. Robert Tyler was now loudly called for by
the meeting. He was cheered with great enthu
siasm. He thanked the meeting for the par
tiality of their kind reception. It was not the
first time that many of thoae present had met
together in that crowded room, when the feelings
of the Irish people and the interests of a great
cause were involved. But that Ht
v . .
T ana nappy anticipations had pat
lU hope" wer
DOt met to send word "f
T!tu "d eon as of yore, to the
' " elda of Irish
m""rtion, but to maks an appeal in their
humanity of thoe who had scat-
' -" 111 e
workmen into exile and imprisonment. He
could not dwell upon tuch a theme. He did not
de?ir to comment upon the pat action of the
British Government, in reference to Ireland. He
could not say anything in praiee of it, and he
would say nothing in censure. But while he had
no language in which he would prevail on him
self humbly to solicit any thing, he still claimed
to be able to appreciate fully and sincerely any
act of generosity and favor towards thoee for
whom he entertained friendship and esteem.
And he could truthfully declare that if the
British Government would frankly and promptly
respond to the friendly suggestions of the Gov
ernment of the United States supposing such
suggestions to be made by releasing Smith
O'Brien, Mitchell, Meagher, and their suffering
companions, restoring them to their bereaved
families, and permitting them to seek their for
tune and happiness among their friends and
countrymen in America he should be ready and
eager to express the admiration and respect he
could then feel for an act at once so just and so
humane. The distinguished speaker then went
on to speak of the object of the movement now
commenced in the country, and the principles
on which it rested. He did not doubt for an in
stant the favorable action of our own Govern
ment ; and furthermore he saw no sufficient rea
son to suppose that the British Government
would not grant its speedy and magnanimous
assent. He quoted some historical precedents
for the proposed amicable intervention of our
government in the matter contemplated. Ue
referred to the warm and generous reception
extended to Kossuth by the British people, un
der the eye, permission, and encouragement of
the Government of Great Britain Kossuth
claimed as an Anstrain subject a price on his
head and an exile for a political offence. He
thought it too late for British statesmen to be
exhibiting any particular nervous sensibility on
this subject. They were well-nigh precluded
from a refusal of our request by their own acts.
Why, then, he asked, should these patriotic
but distant and unhappy exiles in a penal
colony, away from friends, family, home and
eonntry, be reMwiafd cf their liberty. The-
"v""ucj wim Lac aarneat z
befitting the occasion, it will not b withheld.

tk-V i ex1Atl a political offence
, ox imand, m 1843, as the people of
"mM mlC. differed from
r 6. .uawt cr ureat Britain on certain ques
tions of right and domestic policy. Thes dis
tinguish. sxUea were among the leaders of their
evuuw-ymen in this political contest If they
had succeeded, they would have been heroes
The world would have been happier, and histo
ry would hive illuminated their name, in letters
of glory. But they did not succeed and hence
mcir pres.ni concution. If they ever deserved
punisamCJt they had suffered enough. Let
England tike car? that an act which could only
be tolerated by the necessity of the case, docs
not degenerate into a mere act of heartless ven
geance. He thought in fne, reason, . policy,
justice and humanity, all uniting, would per
suade the 3ritish' government that it would be
better and iser to do a good and gracious thing,
and to gratfy the feelings of thirty millions of
people, thin to give a cold and unpleasant re
fusal. Mr. Tylo- concluded by pronouncing a grace
ful and apjropriate eulogy on the character of
the Irish Patriot prisoners, and said that no
more honorable and faithful men in their public
and privat relations in life ever lived. That
they were'aot fitted perhaps by their education,
habits andliterary character, to head the spirit
of revolutbn and to lead armies to ri. toriea,
but he would say that their courage, truth, ho
nor and clivalroua devotion to their country,
and the caiae of their country's liberty would
make thenselves and their conduct a subject for
ths commendation and respect of all who should
hereafter turn to their history.
Mr. TyUr concluded his able and excellent
effort amijst the loudest applause.
Mr. Join Cadwaiader then arose and delivered
one of tie most masterly speeches that we re
member ever to have heard. He enlisted the
profound attention of the audience by his argu
ment, and was continually interrupted by irre
pressible bursts of gratification and applause
It would be impossible to do justice to it in a
mere sketch, and it is equally impossible U
furnisk anything more complete to-night, and
we therefore avoid it
Mr. Morton McMichael wm then called for and
addressed the assemblage in a brief but elo
quent speech, but marred its effect we think,
and hazarded the puceepe of the cause, by an
fll-timed aeeault on Mr. Ex-Secretary Walker
and his Southampton speech. Mr McMichael's
address, where it was confined to the legitimate
subjects of discussion before the meeting, was
exceedingly able; but of the pjopriety of the
part to which we have referred, we cannot
withhold the above remark, which we regard as
a very moderate expression of opinion very gen
erally held.
Mr. John O'Bjrne was next introduced. His
adlrew was mainly devoted to an exposition of
the characters of the men in whose behalf the
meeting was assembled, and a vindication of
their mosives. Mr O'Byrne had been the com
panion of the brave and illustrious exiles and
spoke from personal knowledge, and in such
glowing an I impassioned terms, as called forth
the most unbounded and prolonged applause.
At the conclusion of Mr. O'Byrne's address, the
Governor adjourned the meeting.
We should say that during the evening the
Pennsylvania Brass Band, which was present,
added much to the enjoyment of those assembled
by their brilliant performances of American and
Irish national air a.
The
Mormons Trouble
In the
Future.
The movements of the Mormons are exciting
more than ordinary attention. The rapidity of
their increase is surprising. They are now, ac
cording to all accounts, establishing the nucleus
of a great city on the shores of the Pacific,
while some of their leaders cherish the most
ambitious objects.
By the Los Angelos Star, we learn that the
price paid by them for the rancho was one hun
dred and two thousand dollars; twenty-five
thousand dollars of this were paid down, the
remaining seventy-five is to be paid in two
equal annual instalments. San Bernardino
contains within its boundaries more than eighty
thousand acres of excellent land, a great part
of which can be irrigated. The Santa Anna
river runs through it, furnishing a large and
unfailing supply of pure water, and havjng ex
cellent mill seats. The mountains near are
covered with pines, sufficient to supply with
lumber all southern California for years. The
improvements to be immediately made will be
of great benefit to that country.
This settlement commands the Cajon Pass,
and will protect the valley from further Indian
incursions. We understand that a flouring mill
and several saw mills will be erected there du
ring the rainy season, and it is said that the
Mormons now located near the Cajon Fass will
raise enough wheat next year to supply the
whole southern portion of California with flour."
It is said that a book is nearly out against
the Mormans. and the lareest ever printed in
Co!iiei uia,. The A Vs. Celirbrnian dfloewnew this
(book as ca.Tra,T. , . .
ww great ueau or pre
judice, and lead to mishief. It says
"However detestable and intolerable may be
the religious sentiments of the Mormons, when
inculcated in our midst, let us not permit a set
of designing scoundrels to provoke disturbance
and collision between us, or our interests, and
these people, while they are eo situated as to
work us no harm, as frisndly neighbors, but
capable of inflicting opoft 9 serious injury M
nemies."
"The history of the rise tad r,e.-oa- .v-
Mormons it without a parallel t th records of
modern times. Like that ad H
cient world, the Jewish race, we might sJsaoa
ay oi tne .nortnons,
Empires have sunk, anrl i..,i. j
Yet still apart, sublime in misery, stand
The wreck of Ira.i "
By way of St Louis we also learn that mnm
of the master-spirits of this etraan rsoele. are
conducting the-nselves in a manner well calcu
lated to provoke the hostility of the people of
the United States. It is said that thev recently
denounced the officers of the United States gov
ernment, not only in terns of the utmost bit
terness, but of wanton calumny. A letter
dated "Great Salt Lake City," is published in
me vvaahington Union. It sr-eaks of theYana-
tical intolerence of the Mormons as trvtly de
plorable, and says that on the anniversary of
the arrival of ths Saints in the Great Valley,
tneir principal orators employed lanaruaare to
wards General Taylor and the present officers
of tiia United States Government of the most
outrageous character. The writer, who is de
scribed as a judicial officer of the Government
of the United States, says . .
"You may remember that I wti authorised
by the managers of the Washington National
Monument Society to say to the reor! of the
Territory of Utah that they would ' be pleased
to receive from them a block of marble, or oth
er stone, to be deposited in the monument "
an offering at the ikrrne of patnetirm." I accord
ingly called upon Governor Young, and apprized
him of the trust committed te my hands, and
axpreewed a desire to address the people upon
ths subject, when assembled in their greatest
number. He replied that on the following
Monday the very best opportunity would be
presented. Monday came, and I found myself
at their Bowery, in the midst of at least three
thousand people. I was respectfully and hon
orably introduced by "Aai ezcHleny to the vast
assemblage. - I mads a speteh, though so feeble
that I could scarcely stand, and staggered in my
debility several times on the platfcrm.
I spoke fer two hours, during which time I
was favored with the unwavering attention of I
my audience. Having made some remarks in
reference to the judiciary, I presented the sub
ject of the National Monument, and, meidtntzUy
thereto, (as the Mormons supposed.) I expressed
my opinions in a full, free, unreserved, yet rs-
'pectful and dignified manner, in regard to the
defection of the people here from the govern
ment of the United States. I endeavored to
show the injustice of their feelings towards the
government, and alluied boldly and feelingly to
the sacriligious remarks of Governor Young to
ward the memory of the lamented Taylor. I
defended, as well as my feeble powers would al
low, the name and character cf the departed
hero from the unjust aspersions cast upon them,
and remarked that in the latter part of the as
sailant's bitter exclamation that ht " a-a alii
General Taylor teas in ," he did not exhibit
a Christian spirit, and that if the author did not
earlier repent of the cruel declaration, hs would
perform that tatk trith keen remorse vpon hit dyinj
pillow. I then alluded to my nativity to my
citizenship to my love of country to my dutv
to defend my country from unjust aspersions
wherever I met them and trusted that, when I
failed to defend her, my tongue then employed
in her advocacy and praise mitrht clintr to the
roof of my mouth, and that my arm, ever ready
to be raised in her defence, might fall palsied at
my side. I then told the audience if they could
not offer a block of marble in a feeling of full
fellowship with the people of the United States,
as brethern and fellow citizens, they had better
not offer it at all, but leave it unquarried in the
bosom of its native mountain.
At the close of my speech, the governor arose,
and denounced me and the government in the
most brutal and unmeasured terms.
The ferment created by this remark was truly
fearfuL It seems as if the people (I mean a
large portion of them) were ready to spring
upon me like hyenas, and destroy me. The
Governor, while speaking, said that some per
sons might get their hair pulled, or their throaf3
cut on that occasion. His manner was boisterous,
passionate, infuriated in the extreme; and if he
had. not been afraid of final vengeancs he would
have pointed his finger at me, and I should, in
an. instant, have been a dead man. Ever since
then the community has been in a state of in
tense excitement, and murmurs of personal vio
lence and assassination towards me have been
freely uttered by the lower orders of the popu
lace. How it will end I don't know. I have
just learned that I have been denounced, to
gether with the government and officers, in the
B?m in to-day, by Govrrnor Yonn. I
hope I shall get off safely God ocJT kaow, j
am in the power of a desperate aad mwiaecua
at I, however, fel no great fear. So muah
for defending my cowntry.
; I expwet all the officers of the Territory tt
least Chief Jus doe B, Secretary Harris, end
Captain iKy, Indian Agent will return with
me, to return hert no more."

with the prospect of universal suJrage, and
strongly advocato it, as the surest means of
averting civil war.

compromise even a matter of the extremest
