After tho transaction Of some routine
business, the vice president, Mr.. james
Powell, took tie chair, and Mr.. st. CAR des
liverod an eloquent address in support OF
tho object Of the organization. AZ the con-
cluslon, he offered the following, when Wore
unanimously adopted;
Whereas every movement that 10 intended
to embrace an entire people should eommenoe
with their oApitalJ and whereas any moys.
ment that takes deep root in the ospita Of Oac
nation sooner or later extends 10 every sec |
tion Of II, since the head Of tho BODY pOntg,
bears nearly the same relation to the rest OF
its member, that the head Of thG SoGy S syaTS

At an end, Its own irish Republican Associa'
tioni
Rssoipsd, That II 10 plainly the duty Of every
Irish Republican who resides and votes IN this
city TO immediately connect himself with tho
Irish Republican Association OF his WArui
that those Irish Republican who are citizens
of the States, and only temporarily residing |
amongst us, should connect thenselyes WIN
the Republican Associations OF their respec'
tive Statss, so that the party may DO always
able to know Its exact strength In this city,
and that every member Of II may hold himself
ready to respond to his name when called
upon; aud that any one who fails to do either
cannot in strict justice be regarded as an active
and Jealous Republican.
RssSipsd, That Irish Republican Associations
should be organized IN every town and city IN
the United Statesi that the Officers OF those
fhoSe who openly and boldly profeSsSd the
Republican filth when II was neither popular
nor profitable to do sol or failing those, from
those among the recent converts whose intel.
iiEsnoe And Integrity will ssrve as q good guar
Antee for the faithful performance of the ebli-
cations which they have assumed, since no
| association can prosper that allows ignorant
and unprinoiplsd msn to force themselves
upon Il as Its officers, that such persons should
he removed from otfice as soon a. they are
discovered, in the exercise Of the right Of self
defence, which belongs to ASSOCIATIONS of men
as such as to every Individual Of themi and
that opposition to such persons should not be
| considered as opposition TO the Irish Repub-
| lean movement, nor determination to get
| rid OF them as 4 desire to break up that par.
| tioular club or association.
| Rssolpcd, That as there Will always be
| conservative ADD progressive party In the
| country, and as there arc Conservatives and
Radicals to be found among lrishmen 80 well
| as among every other people, we hold 1t to be
the duty of lTishmen to divide themselves be-
| tween both parties; that those OF them who
are Radicals from = necessity Of their moral
| and Intellectual natures, should unite with
| the progressive party while those oil them
| who are Conservatives for like reasons, should
6y pursuing this line Of conduct every Indl.
| vidual will be tCu0 to his own convictions, as
he should be, while we, As a people, will have
| friends on every side without sacrificing any
| principle to secure them.
RSIoipsd, That heretofore we have unitcdly
| supported the Conservative and opposed the
| progressive party that by doing so We make
an enemy OF one party and very lukewarm
| friend OF another, since that which VIC In
vAriably opposed made no effort to secure our
! support, while the other looked upon us as
| so completely its own that 1t saw no need Of
| treating US with common Justice or common
deceney in the distribution Of its iavors In the
RsSoISsd, That it Is full time for us to pur-
| sue another and wiser coursc; that wO have
as good right to promote our individual and
| collective Interests as any other peoples that
| our interests need looking after as much as do
| those OF any others with whom we are Re-
guaintedi and that We rcquest all newspapers
| frfnnnlu nRNnlR n nj q . n
insertion in their columns, and call tho special
attention OF their readers to them.
