Wedneavday, September 18. [$07. O'CONNELL'S BIRTH-DAY.

0w looking ovvrn late No. of tho Duadallr Democrat. on article with the above heading attracth our atten- tion as worth reproducing. The Democrat remarks that O'Connell used to any that “ Irishman were prover- blaiiy ungrateful to their public men." \Ve will not take upon ourselves to any that the remark is strictly correct. “in know. however. that many of their public men have not treated the Irish people well. They have sold the liberties of the country to tho highest bidder. and barter-ed away the rights of millions for their own profit. They were trusted as patriots. and alter strut- ting their hour on the popular stage. titer took tlto bribe of the enemy nnddcsertcd the people.

O‘Connell. however, was not one of thou treacher- ous Irishman, for he was true and faithlul to the end. But how many thought of him on his birth day? How many of these fond slaves to an odious ascendancy. and liberated from their fetters. recalled to their minds the memory of bialifodoug labor in the causal Let us hope. for the honor oi'tba Irish race. that they wore not few in number. Somo. looking back for a few years. may think that O‘Conneii's achievements were not of great importance; but had they soon titty or sixty years ago. they would be of a very different opinion. and honor the memory of the great man who infused a portion of his own mighty spirit into the sons of an enslaved nation. and enabled than: to win reli- gions liberty. ‘ ‘

The people of Ireland should never forget the memory of O’Connell. And if thoy were really and truly grate- ful for his novices. thoywouid make it their business to

~ celebrate his birth day in a becoming. manner. This practice would teach generation ~ aftar generation. as Moon and Joana taught the Israelites of old. how their fathers were in bondage. and how the wisdom and patriotism of O‘Connell rescued them frotn tho ty- ranny of théir enaiavers. ' ' What was the condition oi Ireland when O‘Connell stood up to advocate her cause. The Catholics were .grovaliipg iii the lawns stats of slavery. Because they -adhaled-to the faith of their fathers. they were denied thou-mos rights of citizens They would not be permitted to enter Parliament unless they swore that tho sacred ceremonch of their religion were damnabio avid idolatrous. No Catholic lavvyer aouid ascend to a seat on the Bench. No Catholic possessed a seat in my oflha 'corpprationv of Irclind. Theta bodies were tha’hol beds of tho pacend‘nn cy party. who plundered and insulted the Catholic people. Dundalk. Drogho~ da. Newry. Waterford. Cork. and in fact all the im- portant towns of Ireland were groaning beneath the vllost oppraoalaa. A Catholic had no voice in man- aging public al‘aira. all was dark as tho hideous gloom of slavery could make it. '

” It was in the “midst of this state oi things that O‘Connell canimenced his'lab‘ora. lfc proposed to ac. complicit (of Itrlittd what Gianna. Flood. Tone. 1-ho- ,inet. and Lord Edward I-‘ltsgcmld had failed to win.
