BRENNAN AND OTHERS.
The Irish nature is too fervent to do things by
halves when it is aroused, and the Irish-AInert-
can Republican mass-meeting in Cooper Union
last night was one that finely illustrated this
quality. II was whoe-souled one as r. en-
thusiasm, and an immense one 10 numbers.
While It's chief object was to make public pro-
testation Of the loyalty of Instantaneous to
Harrison and Reid and Protection, il was also, In
measure, personal tribute to the chairman,
Patrick Egnn, United States Minister to Chilli.
Ills services to the cause of Irish Home Rule had
won him the liveiest enmity of the British and
the Pro-British element in this country and his
appointment to be Minister TO Chill caused this
class the liveliest concern. Recently, the spokes-
man of this sentiment, Wayne MacVeagh, made
a most bitter attack on Minister Egan The Irish
citizens of New-York last night declared their
contempt for Mr. MacVeagh and their entire con-
idence in the probity and sincerity OF their
felow-Irshman.
Before O'Clock the hall was filled except i'm
those aslcs which the police kept clear. The
playing of some Irish melodies by the band mel
lowed the audience in the beginning, and put 1t
in fine humor. On the platform were many lead
ing citizens, wearing the green badges OF The
Anti-British League. Among the 400 or o0o

GENERAL BURKE's WORDS.
The entrance of Captain Hugh Coleman, K-
publican candidate for Register, ana ex-Juuso
Horace Russell was the signal for great cheering
and when Mr. Egan appeared on the platform, the
applause was ear-splitting. General Denis +.
