At a meeting of this Association, held in the Conciliation Hall, Dublin, Oct. 24th, the Liberator was received with loud cheers on his entrance. After tho tranjactipn of some business - Mr. O'Connell proceeded to observe, that on the precceding ay, he read a letter from Patterson, forwarded by S. Whitley, Esq., and had ulso handed in L20 from Gerrit Smith, Esq., transmitted by Mr. Lewis Tappan. He said they wcro both among the most illustrious advocates of the wretched slaves and people of color in America, and then continued - Tho cruelty of the Irish towards the people of color in America had been put beyond the least doubt, by Lord Morpeth, who had spent more than twclve months in America, during which time he had an opportunity of investigating the conductof eveery class in that country, and who publicar, in ExeterHall in London, before fivo or six thöusand people, proclaimed, certainly witlj reluctance. and in as modified terms as he could use, that no class showed more hostility than the Irish to the slaves and people of color. Lord Morpeth knew it to be the fact; he is a competentjudge, and proclmmed it. I have received letters from America, stating that lio was deceived by other persons telling him so, and that the facts were not so; but the excuse always given, when a public delinquency is traced home, is, that it was a deception, Lord Morpeth could not be deceired; there was no reason for practising a delusion on him; and he investigated the facts, with a strong wish to find the allegation untrue. It was, therefore, I addressed a letter io tho Irish in America on the subject of negro slavery. I did not volunteer that letter, but the Irish, resident in Ohio, took occasion to administcr to us a long lecture on the continuance of negro slavery as an institution, and we should give an answer to that manifestó, and we fully answered it. Every man raust jbin with me againsft
