of battle; but did not intend to plead tonight
either excuses or reasons, believing that you,
having confidence in me, would not put me to
such an ordeal, but take ma for what you have
known me to be and for what please God l
will prove myself to be in the faos of Ireland
and my fellow country nen. Loud cheers.

There is need at the present cr;sts FOR discrim-
