other meeting of Irish Protestants was held at To-
ronto. According TO the report of the Toronto
Coionlst, several thousand persons participated In
this demonstration, and the greatest unanimity
prevailed. The preamble to the resolutions adopt
ed asserts that the Irish Catholic citizens of the
United States are principally those who were the
disturbers OF their native country and not satsfit
with the mdness and liberty of the British Const.
tuition, forfeited their right to the designation Of
britsn SUBJECTS by emigratiDg TO foreign State
and that their turbulency and interneddling their
active subserviency and blind obedience to their
priesthood, have rendered them obnoxious to their
fellow republicans After these very serious
charges, the resolutions proceed to deprecate and
disapprovc, in the strongest manDer, of the con-
tempated Wholesale transmission Of Irish Catholics
to Canada.
These resolutions were adopted with great ar
plause. Their spirit shows that even if the exc-
dus should be towards Canada, the emigrants would
find no more favorable condition OF things there
than the one they complain ofin the United States.
There can be but little doubt that the English.
Scotch, and Irish Protestants in Canada are less
tolerant to the Irish Catholics than the Protesants
of the United States.
The next feature of the movement has been the
assembling of an Irish Convention at Buffalo. New
York, on Wednesday to concert general schems
crn States. Much preparation was made for this
Convection, and delegates were appointed from
different parts of Canada as we'll as the United
States. Some of the Roman Catholic clergy have
taken prominent part In the preliminary meetings
At meeting held in Brantfort, Canada, Rev. Mr.
Ryon stated that the Convention originally pro-
posed by the Very Rev. Dean Krwan, and expires

influence in favor of the work. 9e
he also suggested that the delegates should be
reminded OF the necessity of impressing on the
members of the Convention that the colonization
should be made sure and permanent that a given
number of intending settlers should be accon,pa-
MED with clergyman and q schoolmaster; that
they should possess means to enable them to erect
church and sehool-house in central locality,
remarking that it would be strong inducement to
intending settlers, and be means of drawing OF
the surplus population of our countfymen from the
railroads. the canals, the over-crowded cities ard

AT a meeting at Hamilton, g. W., Rev. Mr.. Ca
ragon advertised that information should be obtain
ed as to the most suitable tract Of country and
that societies should be formed throughout North
America, every member of which should contribute
specified sum for certain number of years. to
purchase said territory, and assist INDECENT settlers
A meeting of the Irish adopted citizens of Colum-
bus, (Ohio,) approved of the object in view but
were of opinion that the Catholics of Ohio would
never remove beyond the limits of the United
States The idea seems to be, to establish an in
dependent community, beyond the reach of Pro-
testant Influences and whore their religion viii be
respected. A meeting of the Irish residents OF
Buffalo was held on Thursday evening last, and
resolutions passed highly condemnatory of the
movement.-Batttmore Ameriedn. a5
