NEW-YORK TRIBUNE.
sympathy for Ireland.

We have observed au attempt made 10 certain
quarters 10 misreprescnt and obstruct the eH"ft
recentlv commenced in this City for ahording to
Ireland I'm her present critical condition. all the ard
which we can render % her consistently with our
duty 10 our own Government and laws. Ii sym
patbv or more substantial assistance was ever
Gained in the name Of humanity and universal
brotherhood Tor people scourscd by tyranny and
struggling for the most fundamental political
rights Il is required from ms now By the Irish
PEOPLE; aud 10 was gratifying on this account to
witness tie evidence which the overlooking pub
iic meeting at the Tebcrnace on the 9Th INST al.
forded Of strong and ardent popular feeling
among us on the subject. Men Of all creeds aud
classes and parties came generously and heartily
forward ON that occasion to contribute their and
ard influence, and from the commencement to the
adjournment. which did not take place until near
midnight the most intense enthusiasm pervaded
the whole mass. The attempt 10 which we have
referred. and which was made Ia the True Sum-
Herald, Truth Tclier, and one or two other con-
genial prints, TO dispuage this movement by rep.
resentng it 70 be an elcconeering device for home
party purposes, is simply absurd. II is IN truth
90 very contemplate that it could not inlufe the
cause Of ireland in New York, nor turn aside from
it any one among as whose assistance or counte-
nance is desirable aud we only refer to 1t lest it
light find credit somewhere ifleft entirely mcon-
tradicted. We had personal knowledge OF the
proceedings preparatory to the meeting at the
Tabernacle from their first inception, and we can
aver that nothing could be more wholly untrue
than to allcge that it had the remOtest connection
with or was in any way intended to promote the
designs Of any political party or party leaders.
Such baseess imputation, we feel assured, has
no American origin, but has proceeded either from
some mere Scoichman or Englishman who has
sort of natural innate dislike for whatever is Irish
or il may have come from some two or three per
haps. of that unfortunate description OF lrishmen
always foremost 10 do their country an i'll turn,
and who, as proverb applied to them in Ireland
declares are always found ready to turn the spit
if one of their countrymen is placed upon it, No
friend of the cause-no one at least, worth retain
ING in its service-can be influenced by the false
hoods and petty cavils Of such os these aud the
sincere aud uuselfsh friends Of lreland's nation
atty will rebuke as it deserves the insoence which
thus presumes to vilify all who do not fraternize
with them in their corrupt political cabals.
We will only add that the measures which were
adopted at the meeting at The Tabernacle Tor or
ganized action are iudicous aud well adapted 10
the emergency, and we trust to see them carried
ont now with unanimity, energy and promptness
Instant action is required to provide for the fast
coming events Of the day. The last arrival from
Europe brings with it the tidings that ions
MITCHELL, the most Republican and the most elo-
qucnt. fearless aud true OF the Irish leaders, has
been convicted by an UNANIMOUSLY packed jury.
The fate of Ireland may depend upon the course
which her sons at home and her friends abroad
NAV adopt ut this crisis.
