In New York alone some three thousand had Gu

generally manifest decrease ofoutraee and crime
with one two occasional hideous exceptions, suf.

ccrned. never 10 presume Agriculture is under
going immense Development, and it must be the
task of maOV pnntlompD n that OI
manufacturing processes exhibit the same progress
New shoos of education, colleges of learning
new temples Of religion, multiplying on every

of Ireland is that there are almost too few to work
and too few mouths to be fed
II have heard indeed, lately something of new
arrivals being expected in this country from Amer
lea. Well, then, gentlemen, will they be all Irish
men, returning home to till their fields again, TO
work their looms again, to kiss their wives and
families again II so we will heartily bid them
welcome provided they at least come in some
moderation Can it be that they could come,
that any could come here, with any hostile inten-
ton I
i feel sure that the good sense, as well as the
good feeling, of all truehearted Irishmen Anne
ricans would repudiate the mOnstrous superstition
Loud cheers If, contrary TO all expectation and
I'll reason they would 80 come, ! ought not to say
that they would not be as welcome as the others
but of this feel contcnt-that the Antrim Rifles
whom left in Dublin, and the North Down Rifles
whom find in Belfast will be able to give very
good account of them. But we will not let such
monstrous images mar social harmony, and
would rather leave you with bright Impressions
about you of successful commerce. rewarded
industry, restored peace and extending civil
Zation."
