1t was stated by the Secretary, that the amounts
returned by the wardens collected by them in
hedifierent wards up TO the period of holding the
meeting, was $207 50. This addition then will
swell the gross amount collected in this city within
a very short time to pretty near thousand dollars
We are rather particular in giving these amounts,
because the Secretary, at the close OF the meeting,
protested his utter inability to report the total sub
scrptiOns, in consequence of the rapldiy
with which they had been received du-
ring the proceedings, and also because some parts
Of Mr.. O'Connor's speech, as well as his motion,
seem TO have direct bearing upon this part of the
subject.
Mr.. EUGENE CASSIDY, Chairman of the Committee on
Resolutions read series of four which in various forms
asserted the legality and the justice of reands present
hat Without it, she could be and
ought to be contenied These resolutions were unani
mousy carried.
Flushing noticed above then and solicited permits
sion to move resolution Considerable uproar immedi-
he part Of the chat man and Others that order re.
stored The meeting, however, would not hear Mr. o..
read the resolution and it consequently read
by the Secretary. II was as follows -
Resolved, That for the purpose of giving publicity to
he proceedings Of this Association the Secretary shall
furnish copies Of all the documents of contrbu-
and calls Of meetings the three repeal newspapers
y, this city, and as many others as will give them pub
lefty grauitously.
Mr. OCoNNoR then again and said that the meet.
ng had heard the resolution they would probably do
lin the favor to listen TO few remarks. He had risen
Of nearly twenty dollars entrusted to him by some
good Irshmen in Flushing If the resolution passed
md acted upon in the spirit OF kindness that in
which proposed, it would doubt be the
!ayng great deal Of angry spirit that pervaded the
Irish community in this city They ought, instead Of
citing the bitter feelings of another be united i'm the
bonds of amty otherwise they would not in this crisis
be true Irshmen. There were few individuals, however
who in the discharge of public duty might not be
Ter temptation to from the path Of duty As
rishmen they should endeavor avoid this they should
pull together in this great struggle forget all past differ
in the present emergency and unite in for the
skcd for nothing from the Association but that which
every member entitled. Mr. OCtnnor added some
concerning the subscription he had handed
md he concluded by disclaming all intention Of giving
offence to any person.
The resolution was seconded by some person in the DO
y of the meeting.
The said all he had say in relation to this
resolution that il intended to express any
upon him. Secretary to the association he should
object to it, MIR. OCoSSoR-t is nol-but if it
intended and it passed he should be very happy
to give his assent to it. II was then carried.
Mr. ByRNE then delivered spirited address in favor o
and Ireland The present meeting seemed to him to
lie the quotation so happily used by Tom Steele
Behemoth biggest borne of earth,
Upheaves its vastness
In the of his address three cheers were given
OConne and corresponding tokens Of execraton for the
members of the British Cabinet
Mr. HoRscE GREELEY was next introduced to the meet
ing and he commenced long Grafton by cautioning the
irish rcpeaers in the United States to beware of dsunor
md division. He characterised the repeal agitation, and
he Americans support of ii the principle Of liberty ap
pied to reands particular case and he concluded by
ang the principle that in hepresent state of soci
ty nothing less than domestic Legislature could aevi
tc reland's ills.
Mr. Munpuv followed and at the close of his speech the
Meeting separated, II being quarter to eleven o'clock
