OF all the conventions of Irish-born
citizens that have been held in the
United States, that about to assemble
in st. Louis is likely to prove the most
fruitful of good results. Its purpose
is to make arrangements for the proper
settlement of Irish Immigrants who,
heretofore, have fallen a too easy prey
to the Establishments of city trieksters,
(often from their own country who
first rob them of what little they have
upon landing and then persuade them
from agricultural pursuits to become
the prey of bad associates and villain
Gus whisky. The Irish are, without
doubt, among the stoutest and most
economical agricultural laborers of
Europe; and, ifonly encouraged might
become, in time, leaders in the pur-
suit upon which all others hinge. They
should continue in this country to la
Dor at what a majority Of them follow
at home. Hthe convention atSt. Louis,
to which manyof our leading Irish eiti-
zens go as delegates succeeds in accom-
plishing a plain, practical plan of set
Element upon public lands, to be car
ried out under the superintendent of
sympathizing, good and honest men,
it will have done more to better the
condition of the Irish immigrant than
all the other Irish conventions and
meetings that have been held in the
United States.
