TON.

Most Rev. DR.. McCrory, speaking of
the Convention, of which he is mem.
Der, said that although he was pre-.
cluded from discussing the proceed
lngs OF that body-more was the pity
he could say that whether they be-
lteved in the Convention idea or not.
or whether they hoped for any good
from 1t, it was an assembly of Irish.
men of which even it's opponents might
be proud.
The most divergent views had been
expl essed there, honestly and frankly.
and they had been listened to with
such patience and forbearance as he
believed would do credit to any de.
liberate assembly in the world. If
the croakers who told them that an
Irish Parliament would be like an as.
sembly of Kilkenny cats could see
that assembly he thought it would
put an end to their doubts and fears.
The Castle IL Hostile.
"Wayfarer," in the London Nation"
writes: Il find it difficult to describe
the amazement of Nationalist Ireland.
The Convention goes well-there is
something of break in the obduracy
Of Ulster, as well as q certain soften
ing of the ruder side of Sim Fem,

ciliator. Yet we have the raid on
