The Irish Con.velition in
The Irish have been holding a mon-
ster conventic n in Philadelphia for the
purpose of co
the Irish A
Irish N ation s,'
bining, if hot Uniting, all
erioan societies in one
League of America, to
co-operate w th the Irish National
League in Ire and to secure self-govern-
ment in that counqy. The plan of
organization' rovidea for a council, to
be composed f one member from each
State amid Ter 'tory, and the Dominion
of Canada, vtl o Elan elect in turn an
executive corn ittee of seven, which is
charged with ihe practical administra-
tion, of the aff irs of the League. All
American, Iri h, and Irish -American
Sooieties are i vited to be enrolled as
paying one dollar per annum for every
member into the national treasury.
The general ol jects of the 'League are :
, To instruct th American people re-
specting Irish ; airs ; to 'create a public
sentiment in f vor of self-government ;
to promote th development of Irish
manufactures and their importation
into the Unite States ; to promote the
study of the Ir eh language; literature,
'like, eta.; to abolish sectional said
tazian strif , and to unite all the
hurt the enemy where he will feel it
moat, by relesine to purchase any
article of -English manufacture, and by
using all legitimate influences to dis-
courage tradesmen from keeping En-
glish manufactures op sale." The con-
vention also adopted a platform ' which
presents an eloquent inclictmeot of the
English Government in Ireland, as
having existed, " not to preserve life
but to destroy it ; not to defend liberty
but to annihilate it ; not to protect pro-
. party but to injure it ; not to maintain
peace and order, but to impair both."
The platform also ' calls on American
tradesmen not to keep Englieh goods
on sale, and calls on the United States
Government to prevent the immigration
of Irish Paupers to their shores, " to
become a burden to the American peo.
pie." The dynamite faction wite pret-
erit in, the convention, brit by a vigorous
application of the " previous question "
was Mit down by a large majority, and
its only noticeable effect in the tuition
of the Convention is the absolute of any
condemnation of the dynamite policy,
and the methods, in the resolutions
adopted.
Although the holding of a Convention
in Philadelphia for the discussion of
' affairs in Ireland seems a somewhat
peculiar proceeding, we do not know
that any serious objection can be lived
against it. It is true that most of those
who took partin the Convention have
left their native country and helm cast
their lot with a foreign people, and now
give allegiance to a foreign flag,and some
of them we dare say, have not even a
national interest in the Emerald Isle,but
notwithstanding all this, so long as
their demonstrations do not go farther '
than declamation, and passing high
sounding resolutions, little fault can be
found with it. If it pleases them it cer-
tainly does not , erm any person. Some of
the planks of t e platform adopted are
also, unobjecti liable, while others are
absurd and im. ranticable. There was
one prominent feature which seemed to
pervade the hole proceedings, and
every speaker seemed determined to
keep it in the preground, and in doing
this, no doubt, the leading spirits in the
Convention Were acting in unison with
instructions received teem the princinal
Irish egitatorti on the othet side, and as
such it becomies worthy'of notice. This
feature is thel demand for " Ireland for
the Iriste" q an entirely independent
existence for zeland. The demand is
that it shall be separated from British
rule, and be s t up RS an indepeodent
never be atiosided-to. II the Irish agi-
tators will cohtent themselves with de-
manding simply home rule, they will
L4
receive/1inch sympithy and assistance
which they 1 '11 alienate from their
exam if theyipersist in the more.daring
demand. upxne rule, or a local control
over 'waist? - , is the most that Par-
r.
nell has yet i emended for Ireland, and
if he content himself with this, there
is little dorab but it will be acceded
before very lcmg, but if he shifts his
!position and ‘,(11rances in his demands,
is the proceedings at the Convention
seem to indOate he will do, he wig lose
the sympath.,tr of many who no*. aide
with him, am d his country will not
•
obtain the relief it would otherwise
have got. Those who have the caused
Ireland at heart will be wise if they
content themselves with reasonable de-
mands, and not grasp after the impos-
sible. By pursuing the former urse
pursuing the latter, they may pl ass a
know little and care less abo t the
wrongs of Ireland, but they will not ad-
vance the ORURO they profess to have at
Referring to the proceedings ,of the
Conventiein again, we agree with the
remark Of a -contemporary thikt the
feeling of the impartial reader iof the
records as published in the daily papere
must be one of commingled ad/titration
and amusement. The language of the
platform is elm/dent, fervid, impassion-
ed, and the indictment of Englaid has
an unquestionable foundation in the
history of the past ; but the 1whole
force of that indictment is impaired by
the bitterness of prejudice within has
prevented the framers of it from re-
cognising, even remotely, the recent
endeavors of the Liberal government
of England to mitigate the evils which
are an inheritance from the past, and
to repair .somewheit the wrongs, per-
petrated in the past. These impetuous
oonventionists are ready and willing to
give England full credit for all the
wrongs beth real and supposed which
she has subjected Ireland to, bnt they
shut their eyes entirely upon the long
iniffering kindness and patience she
has bestowed upon her, even under the
most trying circumstances. The at-
tempt also to unite all Irish -American
organizetions in one national league is
well enongh, end the vigorous sup-
pression of the dynatnite fiend is heart-
ily commendablee although the meas-
ures employed were highly path/Omen-
taly, and certainly were not consonant
with the freedom which ordinarily char-
acterizes such a convention. fiat/ the
oposition to attempt to avegge Ire-
lands wrongs by a wholesale boycotting
of English manufactories in the Ameri-
can markets is so abserd that it la sure
prising even the het heads who pasideit
were not ashamed 'of it. Andericans
will -purchase their goods whelie they
can get them cheapest and best, as the
almighty dollar concerns the average
American a deal more than Iris4 Inde-
pendence does; and besides the Anaeri-
Cans are just as glad to purchase Eng-
lish man ufactorieis as the English nianu-
fa.cturers are to sell to them. The !next
proposition, te relieve Ireland! of its
poverty, by inducing the United States
GOVernMent tO shut its porta against ihe
Irish poor is, on the whole, the most
gigantic Irish pull which wan ever per-
petrated. Stich a proceeding might
benefit the Irish in A.merioa, but it.
would not materially improve the posi-
tion of the Irish in Ireland. Upon the
whole, therefoce, we are inclined 'to the
opinion thItt the world has net been
much enlighteped, neither has the Irish
problem been eny more nearly solved
by the deliberations of the Ureat Phila-
delphia Convention. So far as we cen
see it has not been productive either of
much good or harm.
THERE is juSt now a good deaA of dis-
cussion both io the press and in parlia-
ment, or at least in a committee, of
Parliament, about what are termed the
" Printing Frauds." The fIrst' thing
which gave rise to this discuesion was
an account which came before the Pub-
lic Accounts COmmittee. This account
was one whichi had been paid to the
Messrs. Stephenson, publishers of the
Chatham Planet, for printing the evi-
dence taken before the Pacific Railway
Commission. This commission, it will
be remembered, was appointed by the
present Government, ostensibly to en-
tinire into the working and manage-
ment of the Pacific Railway, but in
reality to endeevor to secure some evi-
dence of wrong-deing against the Hon.
Alexander Matikenzie, late 00111MiSSi011-
er of Public Works. What a miseiable
failure it proved, is now known to every
person. The commission was an ex-
pensive and useless affair, which cost
the country many thousands of dollars,
and further than giving employment to
a few high-toned Government favorites,
such as Judge Clarke and Nicholas
Flood Davin, no earthly return has been
received for the money thus expended.
It is true that the evidence taken forms
a vast volume, but owing to its unim-
portant character it will never be looked
at or referred toley any persone The
squabble which has been going on in
the Public Accounts Committee over
the minting of the evidence is a fitting
termination of the expensive farce, and
the jobbery cennected with the work is
only of a piece with the spirit which
prompted the appointment of the com-
mission, and -aniinated the commission
while prosecuting their researches.
However, the evidence was printed,
and it is in connection with thin work
that the present scandal arises. The
work, as we have already stated, was
given to the Messrs. Stephenson. They
did not possess the facilities for doing
the work, and they sub -let - it to the
eltovernment contractors. But, although
they could not do the work, they seemed
to understend how to charge enough for
it. They put in en account to the Gov-
ernment for something over six thous-
and dollars, and the account was paid
by th

in this township was the marriage of
Mr. John Pollock of Baylield, to the
only daughter of our deputy reeve,which
took place at the residence of Mr.
Castle last Thureday evening. The
parties are so well known here that the
attendance of guests was of course, very
large, and the popularity of the bridal
pair was evidenced by many handsome
and valuable presents from their nut
mereas friends.. The festivities of tho
occasion were kept up until a latet or
rether itn early, hour. Mr. and Mrs.
Pollock begin married life with the best
wishes of all who know them.
