Parnell, MP, that his own constituents
had not pronounced in favor OF his conduct
last session in the House of Commons. Inc
objection has now been answered in the
most triumphant manner. on M9hony ias'
Mr.. Parnell went to Navan, and was re-
ceived with unmistskable enthusiasm by
the people and several of their most
trusted leaders. An address was pre-
sented to him by the Town Board, In
which his recent parliamentary action was
highly eulogised, and afterwards, 10 the
market square, aud in the hall OF the
Young Mems Society, the congratulations
were renewed by two OF three Of the moet
eloquent of the priests of Meath. On each
of those three occasions Mr.. Parnell re-
piled in an able and patriotic speech.
There was no attempt made to forstall the
decision of the National Conference on the
question of the Irish policy of the future,
but the proceedings from fret to last con-
stituted a most decided demonstration III
the support of the adoption of an active
and combative, instead of the "conclliatory"
line of conduct hitherto pursued by the
members of the Irish party.
On Wednesday, Mr.. Biggar and Mr.. Par
nell attended a most successful obstruc-
ton" meeting in St. Mary's Hall, Belfast.
Nearly four Thousand persone, comprising
some of the hest men amongst the Catholc
body in the Ulster capital, attended to DO
them honor, aud to declare that the policy
inaug urated by them ia " the only one cal
culated to achieve the objects for when
our Irish parliamentary party was created.
The Rev. Father Cahill, &C, presided and
delivered an admirable speech, and amongst
| the other speakers were the Rev: Father
Murphy, &C, Glasgow, and the Rev. F.
j. Green, &C, Belfast, who spoke strongly
| in favor of the new departure and OF the
proposed Ulster conference. Of the ad-
dresses of Mr.. Parnell and Mr.. Biggar it is
needless to say more than that they were
| able defences of the 30 called Obstructive
| tactics. and that they were cheered to the
echo. And 80, North as we'll as South, the
cry is for fighting Irish party.
The County Wexford Independent Club
| has made another pronouncement on the
| national question. At its usual quarterly
meeting, last week it declared, by formal
resolutions, for union as absolutely neces-
| sary for success, for more energetic Parlia-
| mentary action, and tor National Conter-
| ence as tbs means of giving to the country
a really united and really energetic party
under the leadership Of Mr.. Butt. A re-
solution was also passed gravely ceneuring
both those members of Parliament who
have shamefully neglected their duties,
and the constituents who declare conn
dence in such representatives. This oolt
is probably aimed at the recent extraordln-
sry conduct of the Queens County Inde-
pendent Club in condoning the dellnquen-
ces of Messrs. Digby and Dease, ana 1t Is
not amiss that such conduct be reprobated
But we should not be surprised II the
Queens County Club retorted that Wexford
itself is not a bit too we'll served In Parlla,
ment, and that the Wexford Club might
we'll bestir itself to bring about come i'm
Iprovement in that respect.
