organized Jointly by the United Irish league
ana the Land and Labor association, is
said 10 be the answer of the last named
body 70 those ingenious attempts that
have recently been made to make the
ISOLATION the foundation stone OF another

benedting the laborers. He had only To
accept the old demand Of the Irish party
