Committees on resolutions and organiza-
tion were appointed.
John O'Reilly, of Boston, offered reso-
luton, which recites the facts of the Inn
prisonment of American prisoners in Eng
lish jails, quotes the language and dispatch
of Minister Lowell, and calls upen the
President to Immediately recall Lowell,
and proEides for the presentation of the
resolution to President Arthur by the Com
mittee. The resolution was enthusiastic
ally adopted.
At the evening session the Committee on
Organization presented p. A. Collins for
President, who was unanimously chosens
with list of Vice Presidents including Mrs.
r. M. Springer, and O'Connel, of the Dis
trict of Columbia, for Secretary, all of
whom were elected The Chairman and

ers Menanim and Cronin, were appointed

plause.)
A letter was read from Wendell Phil
lips, in which he says; "Our relations
with foreign States win never be satisfac-
tory until our diplomatists remember on
that side of the ocean what they ought to
have learned here-that all men are created
equal, and that an injury done to an Am
erican kcitizen, no matter what his ante
cedents (cheers) or position is, is as grave
an insult to the nation as if the wrong was
done TO our foreign minister himself.
trust the convention will assert the princi-
pies with all emphasis possible. +"
General Rosecrans appearing on the
platform, was greeted with three reusing
cheers. He said he sympathized with the
cause which brought the meeting here, and
it was not the beginning of his sympathy.
The evils which were to be eradicated were
rooted six centuries deep in the soil of Ire
land, and no American could understand
what the Irish people have suffered.
Congressman Robinson, of New York,
also made an address.
Some routine business was disposed of
and the Convention adjourned till to NOR
