| England Is anxious TO conceal the true
condition of affairs In Ireland from the
sympatliZers with her cause in the United
States. The newspaper accounts do not
give fair idea of what Is going on, as the
dispatches come from London.
This is cause which can be made sue

tenants of Ireland will not pay their rents
under the present circumstances. They
will be evicted, but no man Will dare
to take the land from which they have
been elected When tenant is
turned out, we provide n house for him,
where he can watch his farm. We will puf-
chase lands and settle the tenants upon
them until they can return 10 their homes.

were never so strong as at present, when
the grievances and oppression of centuries
had accumulated, and had driven her peo-
pie to desperation.
In concluding his address he predicted

scured sun; that the glorious light of lib
erty would soon irradiate Ireland and glad
den her suffering people.
MAJOR ELLIoTT's REMARKS.
Mr.. HEALY, SIR:-As you made your APP
pearance on this platform this evening, as
you proceeded from commencement to
close ofyour eloquent lecture, ablaze with
soul-stirring data relating to your brave
people, and as you took your
seat, you must have been convinced
you were indeed among, people
terribly in earnest about the
lconccrns of the shining sap
phire of the sea. The distressing pictures
iyou have painted tonight of the colossal
wrongs which you tell US have been I'M
posed and are still being heaped upon the
100000 of our fellow-beings across the
deep, will not only lived fixed in the mem
DRY of your every auditor but will
serve as incentives to make a liberty-loving
! people on this side that water to demand
all the facts in regard to your grievances,
and then knowing them to insist with all
their influence that wrongs shall be righted
and that oppression shall cease. Con
vince but this people that Ireland asks
only what is right and proper, and that she
is denied this, and you will speedily
see that from sympathizing American
hearts there will issue through American
lips and hands u support whose energy and
magnitude will startle the world by It's
pregnant and portentiuus earnestness. We
are glad, sir, that you have come amongst
us and we heartily thank you for what you
have furnished here this night, and
