eandities of a people who are tenants et will cm the

that the Irish people, if they are tat to their satire
laud, are at least missonaries of religiee sad nationality
over the world. Now I have seen these noweesiosie sois•
sioearies, and, trust me, the best place for the Irishman,
and especially for as Irish woman, is the country in which

The oolj ufs lase for the Irish race is Ireland. Bat the
moot formidable fropedimeet to do anything effectual is the
want of nolo,. Nothing hes etre* me with more pain sad
utouishmeet than the Winner with which feuds are
cherished In Ireland. I have been away the one-seventh
of a lifetime, sad nobody moms to have forgivise anybody
else io the interval. Perhaps I may have been as much to
blame as asyoce Ic this respect while I was here, but ooming
back like a stranger It strikes me with *aid astonishmest.
And one thing I will say, that M Australis, when a fellow-
countryman cams to ask my aid, I newer withheld it on

plexios they may have base—Old Ireland or Young,

lest in a country which mew to me to set an example
worthy of imitatioe in many respects to ne here. There Is
wide and well.gromaded disseutest in Ireland, sad it rests
itself, as far s.I ma 000011,S, only is threats sad re-
Preach* while on all important end substantial questioss
the wishes sad literate of the siosalry are permitted to
be systematisally set at bought. In Anetralia, they do
exactly the reverse. Their aympatby with the mother
country is so strong that they pour out their wealth
like ester when Reiland, Ireland. or Scotland requires
it. (Cheers.) la sentiment. the mass of the commu-
nity, made op chiefly of Englishmen and Sootohmen, are
actually loom British than the British themselves, Bat
nevertbeless, when any Australian interest is"mmosmed
they insist upon it u resolutely as if they were dealing with
foreigners and enemies. Sevin cited two instances in
which the government and people of Victoria had nno-
modally me/0W the attempts of the mother country
to 'send convicts there, he concluded by esyieg—l wish
Ireland would take the moral of the story to heart, that
those who are determined to insist on their rights get them.
I exhort her from this place to lift up her head 'gain, and
not to despair. Wherever there are Irishmen they are
willies and eager to aid you. The Ireland that is in
Amities asserts itself ; the feeble Ireland that is in Austra-
lia sweets itself ; the frecrineat of the Irish race in foreign
countries in some degree asserts itself. Why does our
mother Ireland only !amnia and despair at home? If they
were the last words I ever uttered to an Irish medicines I
would say—do sot acquiesce is injustice and asisgoveva-
meet. (Loud cheers.)
