Of Lieut.. Hoxe, or W hoover is responsible for It,
to the present condition Of the continuation OF

passers by. Please, Mr.. Lieutenant, have the

one of the speakers Hon. Fred. Doug iass-a man
whose love and admiration Tor the great Irish

Tb Jse power and eloquence, intensified by per-
sonal acquaintance with O'Conoell, would render
such selection most appropriate? In his match

Renee, point the way by which his followers may
