Sf'l.INGrIEID. October &.
On last evening. John Pope HOdnett,
Esq, the distinguished Irish orator OF this
State, addressed IL vesy Large crowd OF his
lfcllOw-coUntrymen in front of the Chencry
! House. and in the short space OftwO hours
told them more political truth than they had
probably heard in their whole lives before.

vid in courage and perseverance. lie Is a
member of the Fcnian organization. and
spoke in behalf Of universal liberty for all
sorts of men, everywhere This. he very
clearly demonstrated, was the only true
and consistent platform for an lrslman to
stand upon. To their shame and confu-
sion. however. he il said. the lrishmcn Gi
America. exhibited the strange and incon-
~ruous spectacle of men claiming and fight
ing for liberty in their native isle, while
with their. whole souls and strength
they STRUGGLED against liberty. and IN favor
of slavery in the lan,bof their adoption.
In Ireland they imbibe with their mothers
milk eternal enmiy and hatred TO En-
Glands ariStOCracy and En"landS rule.
Every Irishman in his own country is an
aboliiionisf. and opposed to slavery in
/ America. In support of this. he quoted
largely from Daniel O'Cornell and other
great Irish statesman, vet strange and un-
accountable as may be the fact, no sooner

strongest advocates and supporters q
slavery and injustice in America. H'
told them frankly That If they ever expect
cd 20 accomplish ANYTHING for their native
isle; if they ever expected TO convince tho
freedOm-loving people OF this great coun
try that they were i'll earnest when they
talked OF the liberation of ireland, they
must first act liberty and vote for liberty il
