INSCRIPTIONS and aspiring man that ever sat
upon the treasury bench Of England. Mr..
O'ConnOr then gave graphic picture of Eng
land as it Is to-day, and in sarcastic terms al
luded to the fact that it was driven out by
the Zulu's and beaten by the Doors, and
yet emblazoned upon its banners victory
in killing woman and sabering a child in the
county OF Mayo, Ireland. Mr.. O'Connor then
alluded to the struggle between America and
England, in which the former fought and won
the victory upon the principle OF ssnO repre-
sentatiOn, no taxation" So do we saw to.

lon are in jail-no rent! Ale long as we have
no representation-no rent-as long as we
have no constltutiOn-no rent. Referring
again to Parnell, he said, "Parnell in his cell,
has more honor than all the ministers of
Downing street. The cottage of the tenant
farmer is the battle ground between English
tyranny and Irish patriotism. They may knock
down our houses, but we will rebuild them.
They may evict 5000 but America alone will
reinstate 10000. There is no power
on earth to evict nation. The
speaker theu gave grapic
picture OF how eviction is carried out, and
gave heart rending account of the suffer-
ings which followed. When redress was asked
you might as well cite mouse before a coun-
Gil of cats for justice. If you ask why these
people have been evicted return to their old
homes, he said that the evicted were the own.
ers Of their houses. They had reclaimed the
land and built their houses, and had self
consciousness of ownership. They were fight
ing for what was justly their own, and who
would not do the same. Their homes might
ba blighted by famine, and menaced by death,
yet they will cling to it through all trials and
trlbulatiOns. The time was when the tenant
stood with bare head before the landlord, but

the tenant row stand face to face, and the issue
OF the fight is Irish liberty, and Irish honor.
We may be cOaxed. We may be cOncilated,
but never will we be coerced to longer sub

cannot be Indifferent. We are your brothers,
and your sisters, and we know you will never
be satisfied until you hail with us the birth OF
q new nation.
The above is but a brief and imperfect
sketch of of nearly two hours address. Mr..
O'Connor is a most entertaining speaker for a
man of only 33 years of age. That he is fnlly
lmbued with the course he has espOused is
evident in every word and gesture, and Ire
land could have no more eloquent or effective
orator to champion her cause on this side of
the ocean. At the conclusion, of his remarks
the audience cheered loud and heartily.
Father Stanley being called out said that
words from him would be out of place at this
time. He was in sympathy with the object oi
the meeting, and was happy to have the mat
ter stated SO plainly before the people of st.
Paul. Letus prove ourselves as true Irishmen
as have the suspects. (Cheers.)
Brief remarks were made by S. L. Pierce,
Esq, w. L. Kelly and G. NJ. Mccarthy, when
the meeting adjourned with three cheers for
Parnell, Dillon and other Irish patriots.
Mr.. O'COnnor addresses meeting at Min
neapolis tonight, another at Rochester on
Tuesday night, and again at La Crosse on
Wednesday night, after which he goes south
