Mr. Dimuck As the following article

AN OLD VETERAN.
A scam in named Jo in Wolfenden, lately
atiarh-d to the U S ship North Carolina,
who has b en m vVi .rvi e nearly 45 jears,
has just received his discharge under vhe
following circumstances :
Hu cntt ied the nav in the year 1798 ,
has continued in the servue without inter
luplioti up to the present time, and is now
77 year of age. Someti ne last fall, Cap
lain Gregory prop.jsd to this old veteran,
that as be was now getting old, and had
setved so long aod so iiou-.rb ) io himst-lf,
it would be advatvageous to turn to have hs
dm. barge, ami uo admitted to thi Naval
Asylum, in P nilad- Iphia, wiiere he would
be well taken care of during the remainder
of his life. The old tar, who has been I -;ctivo
service ever since ho j ined the ser
vice and his been engaged in action mauy
limes, reflected a moment, and after kitch
ing up his o-no wenever-niention-ems, two
or three times, reeplied, I don't think, Cap
tain, as how it would look well for me to
leave active service till after the bouodrry
qu stion is se.tod, beca se you know if
there should be a war, 1 should not like to
have it said thai 1 skulked. "
Soon after it had been announced that
Loid Ashburtoti had concluded the treaty
seulmg the boundry question, the old veter
an made application 10 Capt. Giegory for
his discharge, and admission into the Asy
J. hi), saying, "that now ihe boundary ques
tion was settled, I thought I might as well
0, and besides, you know. Captain," said
he, "if any thing lu ns up, 1 can come back
again." Captain Gregory accordingly made
the requisite representations to the Navy
D parimeni, stating Old Wolfenden's (ong
service and exemplary character, and the
Secretary wrote tho following letter, to be
road to tho crew, when his discharge was
given him,
N.wr Department, )
7ih September, 1S42. $
Sir In discharging you from the Navy ot the
United Stal s, with a view to your admission into
ihe Naval Asylum at Philadelphia, I cannot allow
the opportunity to pass without expressing my ap
probation "f your conduct hile in tho eervice of
your country. You have been reported to the
Deportment as a mosi ixeinplary man, always
prompt in obeying the orders t,t your officers, faith
ful in the performance of your duties, and scrupu
lously exact in keeping your word.
Such conduit, while it is honorable to you,
should ti3 held up to Ihe example of your fellow
uane;n ; I therefore direct that this loiter be read
in in picaence of the officers and crew of the U.
S. Ship Nonh Carolina. And I wish you all the
com ort and hippmess in your old age which your
good conduct so justly mtuleB you to.
1 am, n spectlully,
Your obedient servant,
nt t , A- p- UPSflER.
JUr. John Wolfenden-, i
U. S. Ship North Carolina, New York. 5
Cipt. Gregory purposed, on the first fine
day, io have oideied all hands on deck, and
read ihe letter to them, and then to have had
the ship's boats manned, and tohaveacc m
panied and escorted the old veteran to the
cas. Old Wolfenden having heard of this,
ar.d possessing that modesty which always
accompanies and distinguishes true merit, and
which causes it to shrink from any display of
us due reward, applied one m.irning last
WK u l lh? officer of ck a boat,
exhibiting his discharge, and saving that he
wanted io uo The bo .t was accordingly
given him, and he deputed wiihout the pri
vity of Captain Gregory, thus dt-pi, ving him
of the opportunity of me.nifesting ih regard
he entertained for his meritorious conduct
and obliging him to read the I. tier to the
crew without the presence of him whom it
ws more especially intended to honor. This
was accordinglv done on Sunday, after di-
vm.i service, and the letter will be foiwaided
10 ai he Asylum.

Arressl Of O'Cnnell
. ' i I
One of the boldest steps ever unienawen
by a government, is the airest ot u Lonnen,
arid the dispersion of the Clonta f meeting.
Nothing else is talked about. Whatever
may be its ultimate ieults, the first move
auainst R -peal h as been not less successlul
than prompt. Fions the pasive, th- Go
vernraent hs rush' tl to the aggressive poli
cv fiora one extieme to the other. Of
course, a conflict of opinion is abroad as to
the time in which the new policy towaids
Ireland was fixed upon. It is maintained,
bv the opponents of the Gevernment, that
nothinz could have been more clumsy thn
the way in which they commenced. me
C.'ontarf meeting was to have been held on
Sunday, the 8ih, and the proclamation for
dispersing it was not issued until late in
the afternoon of Saturday ; so late lint it
was impossible to apprise persons who had
come from a distance. As this meeting as
to have been last of the monster meetings,
all the stiength of the Repealers was intend,
ed have beea brought to bear upon it. No
iim was lost by the authorities in giving
effect to their determination to prohibit the
meeting. All the available military foice
of the country was in or near Dublin, the
men were provided with sixty rounds of
cartii'ce, and twenty four hows' pmvisions,
a paik of ai -tilery w-s on "he field of Clon
laif, an d if Mi. OVonnell had not, by a
lira lv count r pn claination, prevenud th-
peojde fiom ssemhliiii.', the consequences
would have been lamentable. Bm so gieat
is his populaiitv so b Mindless bis influence
ov r his countrymen, thai his pricl unaiion
was attended lo and ne meeting did not
take plac. During Sun lay, the road be
tween Dublin and Cln arf some hiee or
four miles was denselv thronged by people
passing lo and from "he intended scene of
opttiaiion, hut no distuibance took place.
Thus stood miuets up to Sunday night.
The following d y a great meeting of
the assot-iuijon look i)lae at the Abbv
street Theatre, the Cion Enrhange bring
ioo small fur the puipose. Ml O'Con
nell addressed iliu meeiinc on the ovents
f the previous day, stating that ir t
G -ivernment dit not intend to shed blood,
.ney had pursued a course 'he most like
v to ff-ct that ohjoct. He counselled
bedience io the law, announced his inten
;ion of holding simultaneous me etings in
very palish ol 1 1 eland, io petition fut Re
P"al, and o address h r Majesty, and de
clared that nothing could accelerate his
wishes so much as the interference ol the
Government. iln intendtd o carry ot the
dan of the arbiualion courts, foi disppns
ins justice to the people without cost, uni
veisaliy, and he hinted at a plan for buying
up the debts on Irish estates, by subscrip
tion, in order that the money might be spent
in Ireland instead of England, as at present.
As the week progressed, all kind of rumors
were in circulation respecting the luture
movements of the Government.
At length the Dublin papers of Friday
night announced thai Mr. O'Connell would
he arrested the next day, and the Irish Me
t'Opulis, as might naiundiy be expected, be
came highly excited. Every one was on
t tie qui vive. Great numbers of persons
issi-m ileil at the He .d Police-office. Mr.
O'Connell remained at his house, Merrion
.quart;, and having received the Saci anient,
was waited upon by ihe Ctown S - liciinr to
know it what hour he would attend wi h bail
ai Judge Burton's th mibeis. The hum fix
ed was three o'clock. Mr. O'Connell at
tended, and entered into recognisances, him
st If in 1000, nd two sureii- s o: 500 each,
to anwtr a change of conspiracy and mis
ileme.moi of lh fiist d.iy of term. The
same course was adopted in ihe case of Mr.
John O'Connell. The charge against Mi.
O'Connell is that of i onspracy for ihe pur-pos-
of compelling her Majes y, bv deni n
st aiions of physical fo.ee, to cha. ge her
measures a? d the liwsof her realm; als
with the u ier.mce of seditious and i fl .innii
tory language, calculated to bung ino on
tempt the government and constitution of
tie countiy, and pri-dine dissatisfaction in
the army ; and fuither, wiihrais ng money
to ptoctiie a rh tnge in the laws and consti
tution of ihe realm. The A;iorne General
is to proceed by indictment, and not ex
officio, that is, if the Grand Jury find bills
' A ft T-ft mm n t rft
against ivjr. ttay, ivir. Steele, iir. Darret,
of the Pilot, Mi. Di.ffv, of the Nation, Dr.
Gray, ot the Freeman's Juuru l,and others,
similar proceedings will be taken. The
Government and Mr. O'Connell are now
airly at issue, and a short time will si ow
who is the victor. At present his chief
anxiety is to keep the country quiet. He
tas issued two addresses, in which obedience
to the law is the only theme dilated upon.
At ihe Repeal Association, on Monday,
Mr. O'Connell evinced a desire lo recede a
lntle fom the high ground on the Repeal
q lesiiou which he has all along taken. He.
expressed himself favorable to a federal par
liament, if the Government would concede
it. S mio assert that this looks very like a
desire to 14 back out;" but he expressed it
seems, a favorable opinion in favor of that
pf ject on more than one occasion.
No less than twelve counsel were imrne
dhiely retained for Messrs. Daniel and jo.
O Conned, among wh-ni are Messrs. Piot
and M .ore, l(H Attorney G-neral a-ul
b .henm ge,ie, i for el--u S Hnd fiye olhe.
y ift-n S COUoe.
Mr. O'Connell immediately caused the
following addiess to b- issued:
r E 1 E"PLE OF Ireland:
utiu 11 is v-r tuwwn j hi en 1 nn-
nounce to you that which you will hear
from oher qoarers namely, iliat I hav.
tliis dav eiupii bail to answer to a charge

of consptiacv an
the first day next term. 1 make this an
nouncement in oider to conjure the peop'e,
one and all, to observe the siiicl and m si
perfect 'tranquility. Any attempt to disturb
the public peace, may be most disasierous,
certainlv would be criminal and mischievous
" Attend, then, beloved countrymen, to
V4 J V m
me.
' De not tempted, by any body to break
the peace, to violate the law, or to be guilty
of any lumult or distuibance. The slightest
crime against oider, or public peace may
ruin our beutiful and otherwise triumphant
cetise.
If you will during thi crisis, follow my
advice, ami acl as 1 entr-at you to do, pa
tiently, q iietly and legally, I think I can
pledge myself to you that the peiiod is nut
far distant when our reveied Sovereign will
open the lr'sh Parliament in College Green.
Every attempt of our enemies to dis
turb the piogress of Repeal hitherto has
had a direct comraiy effect. This attempt
wiil also fail, unless it b assisted by any
misconduct on the part of ihe people.
Be tranquil, then, and we shall be tri
omphant.
I have the honor to be,
y.'iir ever faithful servant,

Merrion Sq wre, Oct. 14 1843.
It appears that the aires' are to have a
Very wide scope-, including several editors of
journals, and the gentlemen contacted with
the w orking of the association. The magis
trates were instructed bv the government to
remain in their offices till they received in
limation from the Casde that their atten
dance was no longer requiied.
I was geneially believed that warrants
were to he i i mediately issued against the
R ghi R veiend Dr. Higgins, the most
Revptend Dr. M'Hale, and Lord French.
The incipient movements which led to
ihe arrest of Mr. O'Connell wee as follows:
-Lord Grey ariived at Dublin qoite unex-
. nn , i, Ea.jy next morning a
privy counsel was held, and the resui! whs
the issuing of a proclamation for the sup
pression of the Clontaif meeting, signed by
ihe Lord Lieutt nant and Privy Counsel.
As soon as this proclamation was known.
Mr. O'Connell called a special meeting of
the Repeal Association, which was numer
ously attended, the result of w hose delibera
tions was the issuing of the following counter
proclamation
O'CONNEL'S PROCLAMATION.
Notice. Where. s, there has appeared
under the signature of E. B. Sugden, Do
nouhmore, Ellioi. F. Blackburne, E Bla
keney, Fred Shaw, T. B. C. Smiih a paper
being, or purporting lo be, a proclamation,
drawn op in very loose and inaccurate terms,
and manifestly misrepresenting known facts,
the object of which appears to be to prevent
the public meeting intended to be held lo
morroyv, the 8 h instant, at Clon'rf, to pe
tition pailiunent for the repeal of the hate
ful and destructive m-auio of the Legisla
tive Uni-jn :
'And whereas such proclamation has no
appeared un il late in the alteinoon of this
day, S ituiday h 7 '' mst tnt ; so that it is
utterly impossible that ih knowledge of its
exisi m o could b communicated in the
usual : ffirhl channels or by the post in
time to have its con ents known lo the per
sons intend ng to mee' at Cloniarf for the
purpose of petitioni ig as aforesaid; where
by ill disposed persons m have an oppor
luniiy, under coloi of said proclamation, to
provoke breaches of the peace, or commit
violence" on persons intending to proceed
peaceably and legally to said intend d meet
it p
Ve, therefore the Committee of the
Loal National Repeal Associai n,do most
e,unestl rqesi andHnreat, that all well
disposed persons will, immediately on re
reiving this intimaiion, repair to their own
dwellings ai.d not placo themselves in peril
of any collision, or of receiving any ill
treatment whatsoever.
"And we do further infomi such persons,
that without yielding in any thing to h
unfounded allegations in s iid alleged procla
mations, we deem ii prudent and wise, and
above all things humane to declare that said

Previously to the
meeting, a rich prelude to the ceremonies of
the afternoon took place, to which the pen
of the reporter would in vain essay to do a
dequate justice, notwithstanding the most
careful obseivation, on his part, of eveiy
hing that occurred. There had bken a
staying erected, as usual, in front of the Ci
ty Hall, for the occupancy of the fil ers
and speakers, and this, on our arrival, ai ha f
past hiee, we found filled with Mike Walsh
and his 'Subterranean friends. An attempt
wa made by several of th reporters of the
poblic piess to obtain a lodgment in a con
venient position there; but the anival of a
large body of police, with their staves of of
fice at once prevented the execution of that
design, and greatly excited the Sobfenane
neans, who filled the stand. The police at
tempied to cle-ir the place, bui the occupants
claimed an equal right with all or any others
of their democratic brethren to stand there;
and the myimidons of tne law were f in to
concede as much.
Slike Wafsh first addressed the m- eting.
