THE FESIAN MEETING.-The Fenan
Brotherhood had an immense gathering at
the Court House in which the apparently
Utopian scheme of Irishmen taking Ireland
was eloquentIy explained BY Mr.. A. l..
Morrison, Of Chicago. The deeds of the
patriots Of '98 were recited, and the sturdy
defense made by two counties on Vinegar
Hill against l20, 600 Bri,ons was dwet up
on; the orator claiming that had even one
more county taken part in the defense, to
say nothing of the other twenty nine coun-
ties, the victory would have been achieved.
In alluding to many affecting scenes in poor
Ireland's history, the hearts of the auditors
were stirred up with emotion, and hun
bred handkerchiefs were seen brushing
away the tear drops from moistened eyes.
The oath required 10 be taken was no Sc
cret; it simply required Irishmen to stand
by Ireland. At the close Of the meeting a
large number joined the brotherhood. Jas
McGrath, Esq, Chief Center Of the Fenian
Brotherhood IN this city, presided. -[St
