ted our hearthstones. It has done every
thing that power could do or devilish in
genulty could invent to degrade, pauper-
ize and debauch our race and for these
and myriad other reasons before God and
man, we hate that government, and will
continue to hate it as long as God gives US
life. Therefore be-
Resotued, That we heartily endorse the
platform and principles adopted and laid
down by the delegates to the Irish National
league OF America, in convention assem-
bled at Philadelphia, and with them de-
clare that the English government in
Ireland in its usurpation and pepetrating
by force, having failed to discharge any
OF the duties of the government. never
having acquired the covenant of the
ground, has no moral right whatever to
exist In Ireland, and that it is the duty of
the Irish race throughout the world to sus-
tain the Irish people, in establishing
rational self-government in Ireland.
ReSotUed, That as the manufactures of
Great Britain are the chief sources of the
national greatness, already declining I'M
der the influence of American competi-
ton, we earnestly urge our people and
all our fellow citizens to buy no English
goods.
ReSolred, That this convention thanks
Right Rev. John Ireland and his co-labor-
ers for their efficient efforts in procuring
homes upon lands for the over crowded
Irish populations of cities, and in doing
this, we heartily condemn the English
project of enforced emigration from Ire
land and approve the system of the Irish
| National league of migration in Ireland.
Resolred, That in Charles Stewart Par
nell we recognize the chosen leader of the
Irish people, and pledge him our earnest
and unqualified support.
| ReSotued, That all the societies repre-
scented in this convention and all that may
hereafter comply with the conditions of
membership, be organized into the Irish
National League of Minnesota, subordi-
nate to the Irish National League Of Amer
lea, and we earnestly urge all of our race
in this state to cooperate in its works.
At frequent intervals during the read
ing of the resolutions, the delegates hearth
ly applauded the sentiments of liberty
therein expressed.
The report was unanimously adopted,
| ClMr.! Mulcahey, of Grafton, Dakota, Mr..
Walker, of Dubuque, and Groften, of Chi
cago, were invited to seats upon the plat
form.
Mr.. Mulcahey was the first to speak
He candidly said he did not approve of
some of the speeches to which he had
listened. Some of them partook of
TOO MUCH WIND.
We must get down to solid and posi-
tive work. The Philadelphia convention
mapped out our work, and we should do it,
and until we do it, we must not expect to
accomplish much in our cause. The OBJ
ject of Mr.. Davitt's visit to the United
States in 1873 was far different from that
of any previous worker IN our common
cause. There were other men just
as earnest, just as honest, but there
were the constitutionalists, and
there were the revolutionists and they were
engaged IN lighting g sch other. The OBJ
ject of Mr.. Davitt's visit to this country
was to weld these powers with the powers
of the Irish race-the nationalist, the
constitutionalists and the revolutionists
and then to permit every man to 60 on his
own wey and do his work. Now, gentle
men, when you go home do your respect.

object of these resolutions to which you
SO enthusiastically cried yes when you

He closed amid applause and Mr.. Walker
was Introduced anc delivered practical
address. You all know the history CT the
past fifty years of Ireland. You know tn
failure OF '43. Unfortunately for Iceland
when the golden opportunity occurs some
thing happens which destroys that oppor-
tunity. In my State there are great
many Irishmen, but they think far more

try than III advancing the cause ofIrelsnd
We have too many such people. 1t is work
we need, and not too much talk. Our great
est, perhaps, patriot, Charles Stewart Par
nell, ID the man who probably does the
least talking. Talk! l love to listen to
addresses, bnt far prefer to see work.
Captain O'Connor spoke briefly abou,
perfecting organ!za. ons in the various
counties.
Mr.. Corrigan, the vice president of Hen
nepin, spoke upon organization. AS have
| expressed myself heretofore, work is what
We want; an will make every possible
effort in all the societies of which 1 am g
member, to accomplish work for that lit
tie Isle across the sea.
Mr.. Nightingale, vice president of Rice
county, stated he would much rather do
his work silently-to let his actions speak.
He promised to do all in his power to
unite his societies in Rice county
in the cause. He did not think Irishmen
were thoroughly educated in the cause. He
knew of Irishmen in his county who knew
nothing about the cause. They never read
an Irish newspaper. He advocated the
Introduction of Irish literature to every
Irish. fireside in the country. He thought
if there was some way devised in the state
to keep the people thoroughly informed
the work will be greatly enhanced.
Matt Shortall, of Washington county
was next to assure his good faith and to
pledge mis- assiduous work in the cause.
Judge Montague, of Polk county
thought the vice president of his county
would first go to work to convince the
members of hia organization that in Ire
land Parnell 8 the leader, and that Mime

He believed every Irishman IN his county
would contribute his dollar to the organic.
alton He advocated sending letters re.
qussting contribution. There are 10000
Irishmen in this state who should each CON
tribute one dollar, making $4,000. In
the United States by this means we would
raise upwards of 100000 and thereby
