Il Itappears (says the Newark Daily Adveriiser)
that the proposition for raising an Irish brigade in
this country came originally from Smith O. Brien !;
and, at meeting Of the Irish Confederation in
Dublin on the 2lst March, ga mission to America"
was suggested, when Mr.. p J. Barry said, we
are only waiting for the right man to put the sug-
gestion in practice adding that Irish brigade
in America might hereafter serve as the basis Of an
Irish army" Hence the response in New York,
and the resolution adopted at recent meeting Of
Irishmen at Palmo's Opera House to petition Con-
gress to open the way for it, viz:
ReSoue That executive committee be charged with
the preparation Of memorial Congress- 10 repeal the acts
Of 30th January 1899, and Goth April sls Sec l. entitled

THE VIRGINIA ELECTION.

S.IReaAy, one might suppose, from the strains Of
glorifcatlon in which the Enquirer INDUCES, that
the Wings had sustained perfect Waterloo defeat
this spring. But such is not the fact though if it
had been we should neither have been greatly dis
appointed nor at all discouraged. The Democrats
went into the contest, as they affirmed, perfectly
harmonious, and full Of zeal for their principles"
God save the mark y The Wings, on the other
hand, were engaged in an angry quarrel about men,
and their presses and politicians, instead Of making
war upon their opponents, devoted most Of their
space and time 10 assaults upon each other. Under
such circumstances il is remarkable that they have
so well maintained their ground. 1t satisfies us
how strongly they are attached TO their principles,
and how zealcusly they will sustain them under
more auspicious circumstances Uhig.
