81 A great mass meeting was held at the rotunda
= at Dublin. 10 take into consideration the aspect
and position Of Irish national affairs at the pres
-ent crisis.
A-The following resolutions were adopted:
Resolued, That the population Of the Republic, |
the st. Lawrence to the gulf of Mexico,
NJ nom the Atlantic TO the Pacific, being large
" csnrposed of men OF Lrish birth and blood, It
,ould be unnatural 10 suppose that Ireland could
remain an Indifferent spectator between England
and America,
Pesolped. That the events of the hour impera-
- tyelv dictate TO al Iristmen a forgetfulness OF
the pass differences, and a united rally for the
id cause of their country.
PesolreG, That a chairman, two secretaries,
and a committee of twenty-One members, each
having beensduly snd separately proposed and
. seconded. be chosen by a majority OF voices at
. rs meeting. 10 take into consideration the ad-
VISIBILITY Of an organization, in the present
stste Of affairs at home and abroad. /
TSe Liverpool Post says the whole purpose OF
e meeting was to express in every variety OF
NC sympathy with America. 1t is quite nat
4ksl that this should be the tendency of the Irish,
zen anart from their hatred of England, for
carcely any Irish family is unTePresented IN

useless and needless.
