to the Uniteds States, dependent upon
American charity, as unnatural, inhuman
and an outrage upon the American govern
ment and people; directing the attention
of the United States government to this
iniquity, protesting against its continuance
and instructing the officials who shall be
chosen by this convention to present pro-
test to the President of the United States
and respectfully but firmly to urge upon
the President that it is the duty of the
government of the United States to decline
to support paupers whose pauperism began
under and is the result of English misgov-
ernment, and to demand of England that
she send no more of her paupers to these
shores to become burden upon the Ameri-
can people. The concluding resolution is
one of thanks to, and confidence in Patrick
Egan, whom itwelcomes to the Irish hearts
and homes in America.
The report of the committee on organiza-
ton was then read. The preamble and
first section of the constitution are as fol-
lows:
Whereas, In the opinion Of the citizens of
America and Canada, who are Irish and OF
Irish descent, it is needful for the purposes
hereinafter set forth, that sinking all pr
vate prejudice and creed distinctions, they
do unite to secure this common end and
hind themselves together under the name
and title of the Irish National League of
America.
Section /. The objects of the Irish Nation-
al League of America are: First-Earnesr-
ly and actively to sustain the Irish National
League in Ireland with moral and material
aid in achieving self-government for Ire
land. 2nd-To procure clearer and more
accurate understanding by the American
people of the political, industrial and social
condition of ireland and that they may see
for themselves that her poverty is the result
of centuries of brute force and destructive
legislation, and that if permitted to make

post i've proof that the remedy initiated is OF
the highest value. As soon as it had been
tested and proved by the whole world that
Hop Bittcrs was the purest best and most val

tons sprung uD and began to steal the notices
(which the press and people OF the country
had expressed the merits Of II. b., and in eve
ryway trying to induce suffering invahds to
use their stun instead. expecting to make
money on the credit and good name Of ii. b.
Many others started nostrums put up in SINH
lar style to II. H.. with variously devised
names in which the word "llop" or "IIops
were used in way to induce people to believe
they were the same ms Hop Bitiers. All such
pretended remedies or cures, no matter what
their style or name is, and especially those
with the word "Hop" or "IIops' in their name
or in any way connected with them or their

OF them. Touch none Of them. Use nothing
but genuine Hop Bittcrs, with n bunch or
cluster OF green Hops on the white label
Trust nothing else. Druggists anil dealers

If we can be allowed to tell til
truth, and for once TO puthis Satanic
Majesty to the blush, we will say that
the nominating speeches of the Louis
vile Convention We're the most infe-
rior specimens of Kentucky oratory
it was ever our luck to hear. Mr..
McKcnzie's nomination of Knott was
the one real brilliant in this cluster

speech. Modest in wording, elegant
in diction, glistening with living clo-
quence and bright with noble ideas
couched in choicest language as they
fell warm and fervid from the lips OF
the imprisoned speaker, it was one
of the finest oratorical efforts to which
we ever listened. The Second Dis

EASTERN DECADENCE.

The events of the last few years have
shown that the eastern portion of the
country is losing its power and control
in the union, and that-it is to the west
that the country looks for its strength,
energy and force. Since 1860 every
president, except, such as became SO
by the death Of the chef magistrate,
has been taken from the west. Since
1868 The house of Representatives
have chosen western men for speakers
with two exceptions. Since 1860 the
Republicans have held four OF their ma
tional conventions at The west while the
Democrats have held the same number
of theirs here, while The liberals in 1872
held theirs in Cincinnati Si.ce loyU
the republicans, with western men Tor
presidential candidates. have succeeded,
and the Democrats, with eastern men,
have iaued. The 9mmandiug otHoe,s
OF the armies Of Jne United STATES since
1864 have all been western men, a0d ol
.;oabinet otfioiale lle s1yest has had tar
more IMAM mex sbar6 STAGE the election
of MIR. Lincoln. Such Things do nos ex-
iot because they merely happen SO.
Since 1890 the center of population has
moved from a point near Philadelphia
to point west of Cincinnati on about
the same line. But while this is so, the
energy and life of the Union has kept
in advance of the center of population.
The people of the west are active and
! aggressive, those of the east are quiet
and conservative; those OF the west are
accommodating property, those of the
east are boarding and saving it; those
OF the west are energetic and vigorous,
those of the east are quiet and deliber-
ate. AS natural result of all this, the
region of country that is developing
with the greatest rapidity, where rail
roads are being constructed, where bust.
LESS Is the most active and prosperous
is west of the Alleghanies., The region
where towns are making slow growth
where men are content to live on the
incomes of their mortgages, and where
conservatism, rather than activity il
business is the rule. and from which tn,
young men go out for wider fields O
activity, is the other side of the mount
ain range that bounds our eastern limits
The location of the republican national
convention at the west, with fresh full
| blOOded western man at the head of tb.
ma tional committee, is but recognition
of the fact that to the west the republi
can party looks for brain and brawl

The New Year.

Like young maiden, comes the year,
Bright with youths first glory;
Where's the golden pen to write
Her LIES yet hopeful story ?
GladnCss waits on, all her steps,
Crowned her brow with flowers;
Mirth and music, sisters gay,
Wing the pleasant hours.
All young year, thOu'lt yet grow old,
Thy step will lose its feetness;
The cOronal which decks thy brow
VIII miss its bloom and sweetness;
And shadows dark will fill the sky,
And dreams, 50 fondly cherished.
Will go TO build the Funeral tyre
OF hopes that early persisted.
Yet blessings on thee, thou New Year!
We will not cloud thy promise
By shadows of the loves and hopes
Which in the past went from us;
But count each year a precious gem
Unto our LIES crown given
A golden chain which lenghthens out
Until it reaches heaven.

Christmas at Phillipsburg.

The good people of Phillipsburg and
vicinity pretty generally, resolved to
have merry Christmas, and as far as
we can judge they did so. On Christ
mas eve, both the Presbyterian and
Union Sabbath Schools had trees,
nicely decorated and loaded down
with presents, both useful and orna--
mental, and appropriate exercises con
sisting of music, short speeches, &c.
the little people taking leading part,
and everybody seemed to be pleased
and drink in the spirit of the occasion.
Accept the the many gifts as they came
and be happy. Several families had
private trees and other devices
st their homes or with their immediate
friends and relatives, and it is safe to
say that there is not a person but what
has had some remembrance that it is
Christmas time, and that they have
kind friends who desire to assist in
making them happy, That we may all
live to enjoy many happy returns OF
this pleasant season, and now that we
have had so merry and joyous Christ
mas the HERALD wishes all a HAPPY
NEW YEAR,
