wAsHiSGroS, d. c., Dec. 10.
There was a large meeting this evening
at Ford's Opcra.house under the auspices
of the Clan Ma Gael TO express, in the
words of the call, yAmerican opinion and
feeling with regard to the judicial murder
of Patrick O'Donnell by the British author.
tiles" Congressman Robinson, of New
York, presided. He stated that O'Donnell
was not the first freshman that England
had murdered, nor would he be the last, for
there was interminable war between Ire.
land and England. lie thanked God for
that, because England represented opprcs.
sion and everything despicable in the nine.
teenth century. He criticised the Anglo
mania which led the Am erican people to
fete and make much of Englishmen who
visited America. simply because they were
Englishmen. He did not mean to find fault
with the D,j0J,JW citizens of the United
States, but with the 4,0U0,00J dudes who
were in the train of every Englishman.
The United States could not afford to havt

fair trial. The name of Patrick 0'DopU,us
was prouder and more honored than -.
