sippi, Judge Ebert, If G Colorado, and
Horace Davis, of California, was
appointed, who, with the chairman
and secretary named, will prepare
q platform to be submitted to the
convention and report to full COM
mites at am. Tomorrow. After
the appointment OF the sub-com-.
mittee, Alexander Sullivan appeared
before the committee on behalf Of
the executive committee of the Irish
National League, and delivered q
long and interesting address on the
subject Of the ownership Of Ameri
can lands by foreigners. A resolu-
ton requesting the com mittee on
resolutions to consider this subject
was adopted at to>day's session OF the
convention. The address OF Mr..
Sullivan, after showing that it was
the intention of the founders of this
government that the principle of
American citizenship shall be .ndis
pensable to the ownership of land
in the United States, and that it is
distinctly 90 indica ed in the explicit
terms upon which the thirteen
states surrendering t cir lands TO the
G government for the use and
renefit OF the entire people,
G les on to say tnat the Intention OF
tie founders of the repuSli" hss |
been thwarted by the events which |
they could not lore5ae - 1858, and
again in 1860, the ',aLIonai Demo-
cratic convention approved Of a re-
solution recommending the rational
Government TO aid in the construc |
ton of the Pacific railway. The |
national Republican convention
followed that example, aud the re.
suit is that quantity OF the public |
domain, nearly equa! to the entire |
area of the thirteen original States,
has been presented to mOnopOlies,
by which it has been disposed of In |
a manner directly hostile to the |
spirit of the terms upon which
those States surrendered the |
land in trust to ths ma
tional government. 1t lie h;ehy
through these land grabs by corpors
ations which have proved tnem~
selves superior to popular control,
that q danger which would have
been Stunned by constitutional pro.
hibition, has stealthily and silently
welded itself upon our country,
namely, the creation of q immense
absentee landlordism, by which the
riches of our soil and the results of |
the hardy labor Of our citizens are
to be drained out of the country to
swell the fortunes OF here
ditary monopolists who hate
our institutions and despise
QUO laws, and who by the conni- |
vance of the b snefciaries of our mis-
taken generosity, are in legal pos
session of at least 10000. 600 acres OF |
our soil. We have seen the effect |
of the system of great estates which |
is now stealing all over our western
domain. In India where thu foreign |
land proprietor has permitted 81 |
100000 OF the Inhabitants, workers
Of the soil. to perish of famine dur |
