THE IRISH REPUBLICAN ASSOCIATION The
Irish Republican Association held a meeting
on Thurs day evening at WIN German Han,
IN strcet-Mr. r. II. Donegan, the president,
in the chair.
After the transaction Of considerable bust.
ness, Mr.. John Hickey offered the following
resolution
Whereas the colorpd citizens constitute the
main body OF the Republican p lrty in this city;
and whereas they have invariably discharged
the duties of all Offices of honor and trust to
which they have been appointed with marked
ability end integrity: Therefore, be 1t
Republican Association, favor the nomination
of a competent colored man on the general
ticket"
The President said: This is a step liz the right
direction, and will ten0 to CONG uer tbs prPiu-
dice which exists against race IN this cIty-a
prejudice from which the Irish have suffered
as well as the colored people; but as botn are
armed with the ballot now, they can. by acting
together, defend themselves against prejudice
and proscriptive rings. The enemies Of the
one race are the enemies of the other, and the
friends of the one are the friends Of the other
Those who applied the lash SO unmerciIully to
the colorGd mans back, tried, in ana out of
Congress, to disfranchise the Irishman, and
those who have always advocated the freedom
of the colered man, such as Sumner, Wilson
Banks and Chandler, are the advocates of the
Irish to-day in Congress. and are calling John
Bull TO account for his antagonism against the
United States, as well as against Ireland. All
the lives which were lott aud the blood which
was shed for the freedom OF the colored people
and for the preservation Of the Union amount
to nothing unless we vote as we fought. viz:
for freedom and the Union. Remember Daniel
O'CoD nell, the idol of Ireland the champion of
the color, d race. The interests of the coIored
people and those of the Irish Iden teal; both
are working people, and can, by securing a
proper understanding with each other and a
harmonious concert OF &C tioE, command proper
respect and proper remuneration for their
labor. We must also remember that colored
men were among the first who volunteered %
go with the Fenians TO Canada, in order to
compel England TO redress the grievances of
Ireland, and we must further remember the
persecution which we have experieD cad in this
city at the hands of so called Democracy
Messrs. Martin CronIn, O'Leary. Z. q. Braen
advocated the adoption OF the resolution; and
il was adopted.
Mr.. e.. +. Magll offered a resolution OF sym.
patty with the Cublns in their present struggle
for independence; which was adopted.
Mr.. Marcelius West addressed the m eeting as
to the Irish and Olored people working toge: her
Ia the Republican ranks. Adjourned.
