THE NATIONAL FEDERATION.
What the Opposing Irish Papers Say ON the
New Organization.


DUBLIN. Mar. 1.-THE Freemans Journal,
in commenting on the communication from
the Irish bishops in regard TO Messrs. O'Brien
and Parnell. declares that when the people
shall have given their whole unbiased minds
10 the dispute they will promptly acknowledge
where remains the strength, honesty and
honor Of the national cause.
The National Press (the new McCarthyite
paper) considers that yesterday Inauguration
II the National Federation was a success more
brilliant than the most sangulne NatOnalists
ever hoped for. The subscription 10 the Fed
Grafton fund, amounting TO l,56O pounds, tes-
tilted 10 the earncstness OF the feeling. The
convention is death blow TO Parnells pre-
tentions it says, and a lesson 70 those mis-
taking the clamor Of a mob for the voice ofthe
nation.
The Freeman's Journal describes the
speeches made at the convention as resembling
those made at a wake rather than at a chris
tenng.
