by himself and Egan.


PHILADELPHIA, April 27.-AleXander
Sullivan, since tO-day's convention, is one
of the most prominent lrishmen in the
world. He is now thirty-fve years old,
aud was born in Maine. He stumped the
State Of Michigan for the constitutional
amendment giving the negroes the right
of suffrage, and was an active abOlitiOnist.
He was Republican until 1870, when,
being Il strong friend of Mr.. Greeley, he
supported the liberal movement and has
since been a Democrat. He studied law
with Algernon 5. Sullivan, of New York,
and has been for Il number of years in
successful practice in Chicago.

as God had so made them. England had
sentenced the Irish tObe nation of pau

zation. A man 5000 miles away from

to the British oppressors than if he were
there.
