The Times Comments on the Philadel-
phia Convention.
The Times editorial says the Irish Conyels
tion at Philadelphia began with claptrap OF
folly and malignity and closed after the same
fashion. The whole scene, IL says, would be
painful were II not sapremely ridiculous. The
only practical suggestion made by the conven-
tion for injuring Great Britain is the advice to
the people Of Ireland TO buy nothing from Eng
land unless they are Obliged to, II is a confes-
sion of impotence when Irish malice is driven
20 such pallry expedient, which, If tried,
would only ininre its adopters. The lesson 20
Great Britain is TO ignore Irishmen and aban-
don the hope of bringing them 10 better frame
Of mind by continuance Of unmerited favors
They have already convinced the rest Of the
world that they are unfit 10 have national in
dependence, and they must be made 10 feel the
strong hand Of the law
