AN UNANSWERABLE ARGUMENT FOR REPEAL.
AT a Repeal dinner at Carrick-on-Suir, the health of the Marquis of WATER-map was toasted. Mr. O'CON NELL rose to return thanks, " It was a singular thing to find him, who had so long fought against the family of the noble Marquis, standing, up itt a Repeal festivity in Carrick-on-Suir to speak to his health. It showed that times Were choa.ved fin. the better. The noble Marquis was surrounded by the gentry of the country, to whose amusements he administered; whereas in London he was nothing. Let theta obtain Repeal, and they would have the absentees returning to fol- low the example of the noble Illarquis."—Think of that, Irishmen! get Repeal, and you will not only be able to keep your WATER■ FORDS at home, but to increase the breed. And then it is an ar- gument which tells equally well on this side of the water. Mr. (YeoNNELI. vastly underrates the importance of the Marquis when he says " in London he was nothing." The noble Lord contrived in London (and, indeed, from One end of the island to the other) to make people feel that he was a very great—nuisance. Many a decent shopkeeper on this side of St. George's Channel would gladly vote fin- Repeal if quite certain that it would keep the Mar- quis of WATERFORD at home.
