vinces me that do not msinterpret your
feelings, as | accept your presence here to-
day as an evidence OF the existence fthese
sentiments among you, so | consider the
position which the President of the st.
Patrick's society holds as the commander of
of one of the finest volunteer battalions In
our country, Enthusiastic cheers, proof
that you will give to these principles no
mere barren assent, but that you will be
ready, if the necessity should arise, which
God forbid, to back iDur principles by your
stout right arms. Enthusiastic cheers.

Market, where the vast assemblage was ad-
dressed by Hon. Thos. D'Alcy MCGEE, Maj.
Starns and the Presidents of the several
societies. The speeches were national and
loyal, and from the manner in which the
speakers were received, there is no doubt
as to the loyalty OF the lrishmen OF Nom
treal, or that they will not be foremost in
the racks to resist any invaders, come from
whatever quarter they may.
