few from other States. The altered notes amount
ed to $780, The altering was exceedingly well ex-

The IRISH LIBERAToRs IN AMERIoA.--A ddress
to the Irish Emi9rant did Conuention.-The con-
vention of the Irish Emigrant Aid Society adjourn
cd yesterday, after session of three days, after
the adoption of series Of resolutions and an adj
dress containing the principles of their platform,
80 far as their platform may be said TO have any
principles. We are not informed precisely what
this movement is intended to effect, although its
object is of course proclaimed to be the liberation
Of Ireland from the English yoke. How this is to
be done has not been made known, for the society
is partially secret one; but it is said TO be by
arms, and we cannot well conceive how it could be
otherwise accomplished. There is a rumor that an
agent of the Russian government is one of the
principal leaders in the affair." and that he has pro-
missed them the support of the Gar in any hostile
movement which they may make upon England.
However this may be, we are pleased to see
that in their address and resolutions they ignore
any intention to violate our neutrality laws and
as long as they keep their word, they may meet as
often as they please, and protest much as they
like against English tyranny. The freedom Of
ireland is matter which is left for the people Of
that country to decide upon. Should they be will
ling to fght for it. and require assistance, the As
ISOLATION win give IT. but should they, on the con-
trary, conclude to remain as they are, then the
Association, like the Cuban Junta, viii wait until
they are willing and ready for revolutioa. How
long they may have to wait time must determine.
Meantime would 1t not be well for them TO appoint
an investigating committee TO inquire what has be-
come of the foity thousand dollars collected some
seven years ago, for the emancipation of Irelandf
