universal and prolonged cheering which ensued,
the ladies waving their handzerchefs and hardly
had it subsided when voice cried out, Three
cheers for Thurlow Weed and again and again
the Hall re-echoed to the shouts) Without poet
icaI exapgeration, continued Mr. Melville, we can
proudly proclaim that


'sThe war that for space did fail,


Now trebly laundering swells the gale,


And Ireland is the cry.


(Great cheers)


It is difficult to over-estimate the beneficial et-
feet which the Repeal movement in this country
has had across the water. 1t has strengthened the
hands of our friends. 1t has dismayed our foes
It has spoken to the hearts Of the Irish people
They know that if the sl9adowed day and the evil
hour come, they can fail back on us-ani so they
can-and we'll sustain them to the last (Ihls
sentiment was received with shouts of the most
vehement, almost fierce, enthusiam.) But not
alone here does Ireland reckon her friends by
scores and hundreds of thousands Turn to
France-the land of the olive and the Vine-glo-
rious, enthusiastic, Iii erty loving France-the
home of the most martial people in Europe
remember that in every Frenchman, Ireland has
a friend (Deafening applause.)


And now, when we turn to Ireland ltselt what
eye is there that does not sparltleE what bosom
that does not heave as we call to mind the mil
lion of Repealers on the hill of Tara2 (Great
cneerlng) Il ara ol she ANinS A"t'1 =,
ed by thousand recohectons the seat of lrelands 8
early royalty; before the hoof of the Saxon pro-
famed the sod; when Ireland was nation-(pro-
found silence and marked sensation IN the meet
ing, while after pause, the speaker resumed)-
she is not one now But her time is coming
She is going to her place To avail ourselves of
the vivid imagination of John Bunyan-Ireland
has just toiled from out the Valley of the shadow
of Death The sunshine is around her and upon
her. She is Standing upon the top Of the Delec-
table Mountains, and the shining city is in full view
That shining city is RepeaI the total repeal OF
the miscaHed, tyranical. and accursed Union be-
tween Great Britain and Ireland. Aye, her time
is coming She Is going 10 her place-and with
the blessings fProvidence We'll yet live to see her
sthroned in the senate hall of nations" (Enthu-
siastic and continued cheers( Oh there is an
antique and breathing sublimity about that gather
ing on Tara Hill, which stamps it as era, not
only in the history of Ireland, but of the world.
1t is wholly unprecedented. 1t stands alone.
The records of the past cannot produce its paral-
leled. Loud cheers) There is no time to linger
on it. l would there were. We cannot now
speak of its vast physical strength, lis moral res
traint and above all, its religious sanction can
not, however, piss over in silence the devotion
manifested by the peasants to the memory of the
hundred brave men who were slaughtered there
by British steel in '99, and whose bodies, thrown
together in a trench, were buried on the sacred
bill of Tara. The people knek upon the rude
grave Of their butchered martyred contrymeD-I
who


"Vainly brave,


Died for land they could not save"
Prayers were offered up for the repose of their
souls Silent, and sad and stern there they knelt
and when they rose-the tear drop in the eye
they rose "prayer strengthened for the trial"
Universal sensation) At the call of their coun-
try, the men who knc!t upon that grave would
willingly refill it. The true patriots-who give
heir money to the cause of Ireland-would, ifI
need be, still more freely and gladly give her the
last drop oftheir blood (Wild and terrific cheer
ng) We'll may we exelaim-


Who fears to speak of :9S,


Who bushes at the name


When towards mock the PATRIOTS fate,


Who hangs his head for shame 2


He's all a knaVe, or half slave


That sights his country thus


Be true man. like you, man,


And go Repeal with us."
