DATE OF THE CONVENTION.
During the conference OF the National
committee OF the league dispatch from
Charles stuart Parneil was read advising
the meeting to fix upon date subsequent
to the English elections for the holding of
the National convention. 1t was accord
lngly resolved to hold the convention in
i January. 1856. In the evening
large demonstration was held at
\ Ogden's grove. 1t was at
tended By several thousands
F Of friends Of the Irish cause. The grounds

CRUSHED BY MISGOYERNMENT.
4 disagreement had so completely
crushed them that only one method-that
. Of political anization-remaIned by
Fl which the catastrophe of 1S47 and 1848
#could be ayerted. Then they were
#wbeedled into believing that the food their
Town soil produced belonged to an idle
foreigner, and that it was the will of God
hat they who owned the land and titled
N should lie down and die while the
enenclary Of their labor squandered its
proceeds IN distant lands. Compared with
Ny man VINO taught that blasphemy,
JUDAS was a saint, for that doctrine made
Tod monster.
ORGANIZATION THE ONLY SALVATION.
1t was organization of the people for
ae achievement Of their political liberty,
snicn alone drove that heresy out OF
Ireland. In political organization
eleeed under cloud of threatened
lSlllne certain principles were adopted
Wlich the people Of Ireland will never
surrender. They are, first, that it is their
flslt to own their own soil and cultivate
70 me uttermOst for themselves and
l1TII children. Second, that it is their
!ss. 70 make their laws on their own soil
Iuu 70 Work out their own political des-
''n! among the nations of the earth.
