Previous to putting the question. Mr.. Hennessey
made few remarks, explanatory OF the thin at
!
on Bergen Hil,D was being held at the same time

Ireland He also advocated the strong necessity
of an earnest and unselhsh patriotic feeling. The

Independence is at stake, is not true patriot
The antipathes which have too long dlsunlted Ire
