The same story may yet be told of one, who
flying from the shores Of Ireland, devoted his
manhood to the service OF this country, and re-
turning TO the soil from whence his hopes, his
| memories. and his sorrows sprung, found a
grave, not beneath the ruins of his native land,
but beneath the arch of triumph, reared to
commemorate her ascension from the tomb
Loud cheers.) The day may be distant thar
will realize this conjecture. The history OF
Ireland suggests dependency, and reconciles
US, by anticipation, TO the worst. The san
guine, the generous, the courageous, the am
bilious eyen-all share alike in the gloom
which that history diffuses. Yet, it is no i'm
piety for me to predict, that as her suffering
has been long, her happiness shall be great
and that as she has been called upon to bear

glory the more glorious. Cheers.1 II such

To the promised land there will be to Us guides

Faithfully, piously, lovingly, let US await that
time, and with pure hearts and upright spirits,
perfect ourselves in those arts and habits
which will enable us to meet it with advantage.
Loud cheers.] This is the noblest object we
can have upon this earth. There is, however,
another object which here should stir the
feelings and stimulute the energ ies--should
prompt the intellecf, quicken the industry, fire
the ambition of all who come from Ireland
who are jealous of her name, anxious for the
sympathy of all great and reputable nations,
and who have fixed for her in the coming
yeers, an abode of peace and an eminence OF
renOwn. (Cheers.) Here, in this land, the

tiOn Of those virtues which strengthen, embel-
lish, and elevate State, by sobriety, honesty
and assiduity in all pursuits, in generous and
cheerful subOrdination TO her laws, in warm
and strenuous fidelity TO her charter-will the
name OF Ireland be made respected, q deep and
enduring sympathy for her sufferings and her
mission be evoked, and new facilities be
opened for the redemption to which, with bro.
ken accent and wounded heart, she aspires-
Loud cheers.l To this end the military or.
ganization, OF which here behold so conspi-
cu0us an illustration, is sure to conduce. Ii is

prosperity with obedience, and face the most
formidable menace without dismay. (Cheers,

perpetuity was the noble aim Of the emin snt

this city robed herself in mourning. tGreat
appiause.) Commencing the influence Of
ayarce, luxury and fashion, it keeps alive IN

OF patriotism which broke from the lips OF the
Lacsdemonan mofbe", whenin answer to the

slain in battle, she exclaimed-"l asked not
concerning my children-I asked only for my
country; If that be prosperous, | am happy"

inspired the mother Of Coriolanus, when she
exclaimed-"Had l dozen s0ns-each IN my
