PiafTssns Adopted by the g'hiiasiclp hia
Convention.
NKw Yosx, April 1.-THE Irish-Amsr
lean people assembled III convention nc
Phil ldelphia submit to the intelligence,
right and reason of their fellowmen that
the duty of the government Is to pre-
serve tie lives Of the governed, to defend
their liberty. TO protect their property.
to maintain peace and order, to allow
each portion Of the people an equitable
and efficient voice in the legislature, and
TO promote the general welfare by wise
and just and humane laws. We sol
EMMY declare aud cite unquestioned
history and universal knowledge, the
living testimony thereof, First. that the
English government has existed IN Ire
land not 10 preserve the lives OF the
governed, but to destroy them" The
resolution then pictures at length the
alleged barbaritiea Of the English gov
eminent. how the blazing torch has been
applied TO the asylums of terrified wo-
men, how the deadly DO ab has been
discharged into helpless towns, and
adds. las il the sword. cannon, torch.
scaifold, trigger and explosive are not
enough. il enjoys the infamy Of
being the only government Of an
cient or modern times which has
employed famine for the destruction
Of those from whom IL claimed
allegiance. forcibly robbing the Irish
people OF the fruits OF their own toll,
produced by their own labor. II has
buried not hundreds, not thousands,
but more than millionf Of the Irish
race, unshrouded and uncofiined in the
graves of hunger. Il has mercilessly
oompslled other millions in compulsory
poverty to seek In alien hands the bread
thew were entitled TO own. There is no
form Of cruelty known to the lowest
savAQe which il has not practiced on
the Irish people in the name Of the high
est civilization. The last paragraph of
this plan refers to dynamite. There II
no form Of retaliation 10 which despair
or madness may resort, for which En-
alish cruelty in Ireland Is not excius-
ively responsible. Second. we declare
that the English Government Ia Ire
land has not defended the liberty Of the
people, but has aunihilated the statute
enacted aimee the invasion. The coer-
ciou laws framed 70 deprive the citizens
of all vestiges Of personal freedom, and
reduce them 10 outlawry in order TO
confsoats their property and compel
