sktpcrt the latter is certainly my case i hav bad great ness thrust upon me i am deeply convinced that it is also but in a different mode the case of your grace and in ihe fellowship of this conviction i proceed to settle a short account which stauda un closed between ur you arc reported by all the new papers of the last week i care not in what debate to have said of me these two things first that 1 had been convicted of a misdemeanor and afterward promo ted by the irish government- secondly that i have more power than any individual possessed since the revolution of 1gss ti c first assertion my lonl permit me to tell you is totally unfounded and you ought to have known it to be so the second is a ross exaggeration and you must have known it to be so we may dispose of the flrt in a few words- you have more than once made this charge against me publicly in your place in parliament and i hove of ten in my place in the other house distinctly and emphatically contradicted it tins should have put you upon inquiry into the facts before you ventured to repeat the calumny nay more you had the proof in your hands that your assertion was unfounded because when you first made it in the house of lords it being oven tfjwu vtiiwjatvs ikmvi emflft bft icaror jn jid nf you moved for a return of alt the proceedings gainst iik that return was made that return was primed by the house of loids it waa in your hands jt showed indeed thai there were eleven in- dictiuerts against me several of them charging me with sedition and a conspiracy for seditious purpo ses but every one of them every indictment that charged me with any moral oivcnce abandoned up on the record by the attorney gcner1 no man everhutd another more than lord an glesey hated me he is not as yon my bird know a wise man and i hud hurt ins vanity the greatest offence that could be committed against a vafa and unwise man lie accoidingly bated me cordially and mr ijlackburne his attorney general whom you more congenially continued in office rivalled ilia lordship in animosity yet so totally false were the cluireeein these indictment lhatihey were pub licly and on the record given tip by that attorney general this you had in the printed return there remained one indictment it was for dis- obeying a proclamation yes literally for disobey ing a proclamation without any illegal or improper nicnl bein so much as alleged i insisted that it was no offence to disobey a pro clamation and relying on that plain principle of law i declined to plead to that indictment having first secured these terms that no attempt should be made to proceed to judgment without giving mc the full power to have ihe twelve judges in ireland and litiallv the houc o lords to decide whether or not il was an offence to disobey a proclamation of couivc the matter proceeded no larthcr and thus 1 was not only not convicted but i was not tri ed ntall aud you clearly should have known that your charge against mc was entirely destitute oi fict for the present i imve done wiili this part of the casf fcituply cautioning youuguhisiaiiy other repe tition of this calumny yon shall not repeat it with impuimy as 1 will feel it my duty to expose such injustice to the british people who already under stand you nearly 9a well as i do and your entire career as well as the tone and temper of your mind are quite familiar to tur one word as 10 the promotion you say 1 have re- ceivud whv it atj neither place nor petition of fice nor etnolument it iuu actually more useful to ottnife ihn it afr h ne it rtitly is vrry undgri- hed in you to quarrel with it it is but a patent of precedence costing the public not one penny- mere precedence and that below my standing st the bar of no value at all tomcat present that i have almost entirely abandoned my profession irouhl have had it before the emancipation bill it was on your part and on that of your parly a gross injustice not only to me but to my clients to my numerous clients someofwhoro were orange men and the very great majority ofwhom were pro testants not to have given mc that precedence twenty yearo sooner industry and above all pro vidence had given mo those faculties which placed mcin the first business in my profession for twen tyfive years i had the misery of seeing my juniors in standing and inferiors in the profession one after the other put over my head placed before me and given those opportunities of success which were but of little value to them but would have been of incal culable importance tome how often have ire- turned home from court heartsore and pitying myself for being the victim of the injustice not of the law for the law was silent on the subjectbut of that fell spirit of ascendancy whicfi you still cherish with as envenomed a fidelity as if the penal lawa and test ami corporation acts were still in full force it therefore is very unbecoming of you to reproach any persons with doing me a tardy justice when you and the men wbo thought and acted with you so long and fo shamefully withheld it but injua tree gross palpable injustice is not only the mot to but the daily practice of the party iu ireland to which you are and always have been so strongly devoted your second assertion namely 1 have more power than any individual potmtssed since the revolution ta i fth i till more uoffcriunaje him the first i have no power properly so called i have it is true some influence nay considerable influence i discover occasionally that i possess more influ encc than i could previously trust myself to believe wtfihj yva owgrenai twi pmhcv iif yaps glomes hut then if you have any thing of the statesman a bout you should you not ask ay aod answer these questions that has created this power what con tinues this powerhow is this power to be extin guished 9 to answer these questions it would be necessary to understand the past history and present state of relandand this my lord you do not do i must therefore endeavor to assist you in the first place you will admit that i do not owe ihia influence 10 the advantages of superior birth for whatever my pride of ancient diieftainry may be i am but the son of a private country gentleman nor do i owe this influence to superior fortune for mine is but a small competence and the balance of favor in this respect is bestowed on not by me nor do ovve it to superior talent for mine is but of plain and ordinary dimensions to what then do i owe all what you call power i will tell you my lord duke i owe it all to you and to men like you it is you and men like you who have created that power who continue that power and who if you be not checked and control led will augment increase and accumulate dia power it is in the grievances in the oppression in the wrongs of ireland that the source of my power is tn be found it is to the sufferings to the woes to the rancriee otulir ptfntritaittf itaitmtil dluit my piftvtr tin to be traced yon and men like you have always governed ireland with a wrong view and in a sinister spirit you have encouraged a party and disparaged tho people you have courted and caressed a faction a pale a particular denomination a sect or a per- ftuaston and you have insulted and despised tho nation this has been the course and career of brk tish government in ireland for six hundred years and here are you and your constitutional blood hounds as your gallant friend colonel sibthorp calla them as frevltf as untired as ready to start upon another crusade of oppression intuit devastation and slaughter as if you were now to begin only fot the first time aud that the misgovemment of ireland had in it all the freshness and excitement of novel- ty pii untasted gratification tltese are the causes which naturally account fot the predisposing aymptoms of my influence it ia the insulting misgovtrnmentit is the audacious preference of the bloodstained orange faction to tho catholic population of irelandit is the partial ad ministration ofjustice by partisan magistrates party sheriff prejudiced judges and bigotted factious jurors it is the establishment and insolent triumph of a sinecure church it is the exaction of tithes from an impoverished people to support clergy men whom they never sec and whose spiritual as sistance they are for from requiring it is the still more insulting insolence toward the clergy who serve the people and who are calumniated and vilified under your auspices by every worthless defamcr from the haughty bishop of exeter down to the mi serable knight of kerry these and one thousand other crimes committed toward ireland and the my- riadc of additional evils which they generate arc the originating cause of the popularity and influence which you attribute to mc and which i believe 1 en joy allow me to add that the irish nation know me to be sincere and honest they confide in my mo ral courage aud indefatigable perseverance they know i never will cease to agitate whilst one gric vance remains unredressed they are certain that mv untiring energies arc devoted to the good of my native laud they of course are aware of the infir mities ofiny
