ECO, chairman. The notice for calling the meet

The CHAIRMAN proceeded to take review of the
state of the Repeal question in this city, and made
some remarks on the conduct OF certain portion of
the press OF this country as to the way they have
treated the question and its supporters-and, from
whatever party this had emanated, 1t showed that
they were rotten before ripe and must eventually
fall, when repeal would triumph. (Cheers) He then
alluded to the dissatisfaction which prevailed In
their ranks. These attacks come upon them worse
than the enemy's broadside-with more dlreful
effects. He did not recommend those present 10
meet these attacks with like spirit, but as attacks
made upon truth-to make them more firm to the
cause Of injured Ireland and its sighted justice.
(Cheers) There may be some wrong done by the
who has spent the best forty five years OF his life
in the cause we espousebut his general integrity OF
character points him out of the most popular
leaders OF the people of the present age-such
other mortal man could ever perform. Voice

threadbare stories, and young speakers.
