| Summary: | Poster (black font on yellow paper) publicising the fact that Daniel O'Connell will run as M.P. for Meath in the House of Commons. In the event, O'Connell was also returned for the County Cork constituency and chose to sit for Cork (from July 15th 1841). Full text of poster reads: "Fellow Citizens and Irishmen! The Enemies of Ireland" the base Orange Faction, have triumphed. They have carried their ends by the basest Bribery and Corruption. But blessed be God, their triumph has given a greater impulse to the darling object of my life- REPEAL! Be not daunted, my friends, A PETITION will unseat the Exterminators of yourselves and your HOLY AND SACRED RELIGION! Ireland could not bear my absence from the House at this Crisis, even for a moment, I have therefore accepted the Representation of the Honest Men of Meath; but HUTTON, the honoured Friend of your Country, will prosecute a successful petition. Your faithful Friend and Servant. DANIEL O'CONNELL". Printed at bottom of poster:"Merrion Square, South, 10th July, 1841". |
