Mr.. 0Golman, IT,. proposed the following
resolution, which was adopted:
Considering. that it is the universally &C.
know !edgrd night Of every nation To deter
mine who shall be its own rulers;
That previous To the year 1890 this island
was in all essential attributes an Independent
nation
That the act which abolished its indepen-
deuce was passed By means of bribery and
brute force. in opposition to the declared will
OF a large majority OF lis people
That the Union was thus forced upon the
Irish people IN violation OF a solemn %interna-
tioaal ,reaty ratified by on act OF the British
legislature, declaring the right OF Ireland to be
bound only by laws enacted by her own par
liament, TO be established and ascertained
forever, and OF no time hereafter to be ques-
toned or uuquestlonablt.'
Resolved, That for the foregoing reasons
we declare our solemn conviction that the
Aforesaid Union IS d HuIily; that the laws of
the British Legislature are not in conscience
binding upon the IRISH people, aud that resis-
lance or obedience To Is authority is d ques.
ton OF eXPediency, not oil duty.
The following address to the Queen was
adopted;
