The speech of Mr. O'Connell, which we publish on the first-pogo, is producing great excitemont nmongst the Irish Repealers in all paris of the Union. Very full meetings have been held in New York, Philadelphia, Bull.imorc, and other places to consider of it.- Many of the Southern pnpers are publisliing it with indignant comments. The meelinga in eeveral Northern citiea have taken the ground tlintMr. O'Connell ia but an an individual, andthatthe question of Rerpeal must be pur3ued without bcingidentified with the peculiar views of nny individual rcpealer. Thia position, however plausible, will fail to satisfy the slaveholders. especially ns Mr. O'Connell:la;mcd to speak the uenümonts of the whole body, and was greeted uith tremendous np plaiise. The authenlicity of the speech has not been callcd in question any where. lt is from the Dublin Freeman'd Jourml of May H. It speaks the feelings of one of natures nobiemen, and its frank, generous, expandcd epivit contrasts gloriously with the selfish, contracled and panizan policy which some of he politica] leadersof this country would scek o stamp upon our whole Irish population.- etthe subscribcts of the Signal loan this peech lo their Irish neighbors, that thcy may once morehear the voice of their noble-liearted Liberator pleading for the rights of man, rrespective of country or color. {L?= The time oftraveling from Detroit to Chicago ücross the Península, by the rail rond and stagen, is just 39 hours. This root ia stated to bc cheaper, quickcr, and pleasanter than that by steamboats nround the lakes. 05=" The Repealers of B.iltimore have lately held a very large and aniniatcd meeting at whicli Mr. O'Connell was rebuked thus: Reiolvcd, That the idea which Mr. O'Connell would promúlgate ns a fuct in relalion to the slavcs of 'lie South, that thcy are treated not as human beings, bul as the brute brast Ihal apires and then ceases to have any olhr.r existvnee, is insulting to the choracter ot the American people, a base cnlumny ngaiust the humanity and the pure sense ofliuman obli"■ation that are the characteristxs oftheern peopln. Resolved, Thai thiö Association lias yet to Icarn lliat the propiielor of slaves who fceds, and clothes, and protects lliem, and when disease has struck tlicm down, cnlls iiTthë physician and cleryinan to nttnid them, deserves no liiylier grrade in society tlian the pickpocket or the petli larenty scovndrcl. Resolved, That beUevjng the doctrine of abolition to be inimioal to thé welfare and perpetuity of our republican institutions, calcnlated to rnpturc, if pnshed to the extreme, our happy Union, and dismember the confederacy this Associalion, laugtóng to scorn Mr. O'Connell's cry of shanie and disgracc, will maintiiin his proud attitude as thé ui.'compromising friend of that Union, and Imrls back with iiifliirnant contempt the degrading epjthet pf 'faithless niiscreants,' as umneritcd and rash, insulliüg and undeserved.Qj The slavelioklcra of Washisgton compkiïn of the bad effuctd of the elevation of tho colorcd people of lliat city. "Tlie Capítol," a penny paper, jlhiis speaks of a concert of white youth which some colored poople atlenAo.d:"We wereauiong tlie niulience on Wednesday night, and to our surprise and disgust foundthe wholeof the back part of the room occupied by negroes. They did not seat themelves in a respectful rnanner, but mounted the ushioued seats.wore their lints on their heads, quirted tlioir tobáceo juicc about, and apl.iuded ns heartily ae the rest of the aiidience. A miniber of persons left the roorn, expressjg their opposition to tliis levelling pystem, rl we wcre oniy eurprised that the whole udiencc did not rise en mnsse, and leave the 'oung vocnlists to chaim an ËtWppian udi Ory. Our laws, our customs, nnd our nature ïave drawn a distinction between the two races God has made the white m every respect the upcrior, und if, in our public assemblies, wc re compelled to sit 'clieek by jovvl' with the worthy childron of África, there i.s no knowiDg how long we shnll be able to maintain the respect of our own slaves."Dr. Becchcr, it will be rccollecled, voted agaiiist all nction of the General Asscmbly against slavery. The Evangelist snys: "Dr. Beecher said he should vote for Dr. )ickinson's subsiïtute. Ihough a different uitwas desirable, nnd, as he feit, duc to the ause of Truth nnd Justice, and the characer of the Presbyterian Church! ' "And so," eays the Christian Reiunuer, '"TRUTH,' 'JÜST1CE,1 and 'CLIARACTER,' werc deliberately and avowedly sacri ficed for the sake of going with the majority, for the sake of inaintaining harmony in an ecclesiastical body! The atheistic tendency of such unscriptural clerical combiaations is strikingly developed in all this? But will the man llmt could uiiblnshingly uvow such recreancy to his own conscientious convictions, ever stand up in a Chrislian pulpit again, and profeBS to believe in a God, and a day of Judgmr.nl 1"If an -ecclesiastical body will confessedly sacrifice Truth, Justice, and Character for any ecclesiaptical object, what can bc imagined which tliey would not sacrifice? Quarlcrly Subscribcrs.-W e received about forty lost week, and a friend promises us fifty more this week from one post oflïcc . It does appear to us that if Liberty men realized that something needs lo be done for our cause- tbat scarcely any thing is tioing, or vvül be done except through the press - and Unit tlie recular circula tion of the Signal is confín c chiefly to confinned abolitionists - they would make sonie exertions lo circuíate the Signal among the uninformed on the very cheap terms on which wc oficr it. But wo submit the whole matter to tliem, mcroly observing that nó cause, liowever excellent, ever yct became triumphnnt withoirfiíhe use of nppropriate meana. We shnll find it so in ours. fl Flour in Buflulo, July II, eold foi $4,00. Ohio Wheal braught f 1 ?er bushel.
