tive Committee, having in charge the st-
fairs connected with the National Irish
Immigration Convention, have issued the
following brief address:
TO the lrishmeu of the Jnited States
g The National Convention, called by
the delegates from the various States,
viii meet in st. Louis on the 9Th Of .Octo-
Der. Its object il to anIeliOratV the con-
ditiOn Of the Irish immigrant in this free
land of his adoption. To secure this it is
designed to encourage him 10 settle upon
and till the vast unoccupied but fertile
lands OF the great West, and 10 remove
him aud his family liGm tho moral con
Iamination and poverty consequent upon
n residence in the great cities. The gen
tlemen who originated, and who are now
eudeavoring to carry out this benevolent
protest, are actUated only by disinterested
motives. They have repeiYed tl5 APPROX
al Of a large number of the distinguished
prelates and clergy, rs well as that OF
many OF the prominent laymen of the
Union. Il is, therefore, hoped that those
70 whom the success OF the cause is dear
will inteFsst themselves 80 far as to see
that their city and state 9Ta represented.
This hope is expressed particularly. TO the
Irishmen Of the Eastern and Middle
States, and even more especially to those
residing Ia the great State OF New York.
JThe number OF delegates is not limited
for any city or State.
"In conclusion, we say that the benef-
cent results 10 be expected from this
great cause should inspire every irish
man throughout the land TO do his duty.

fire on several places at midnight. The
Penn Horn oil works were saved.
