He has heard of * Philips, Curran, Grattan, and Emmet”— this is the order in which he arranges their names—an order which shows his profound knowledge of the men; he is particularly savage on England, and grows quite pathetic, unprepared as he is, at the mere mention of the told land.”’ A fair share of mother wit — sufficient stock of spending money, anda vast deal of brass—complete the equipment of this very active, very importact, avd much! courted individual.

The intimate relations of Ireland and Norta Ame- rica, in this middle period of the century— the interests, the action, and reaction which have already eprang out of those relations— are subjects of very real, | was going to say very urgent, consideration to every publicist throughout these kingdoms. Let uo man think, when he has heard the last sub from the ship’s side—when he has seen the last glimpse of the emigrant ship itself—that he vas beard the last, or possibly seen the last, of that living load of passion, affection, hat- red, remembrance, prejudice, and speculation, aid power—strooger than distance, stronger tuan every influence but God's or death’s — which bas just launched itself out in the At- antic. The Atlantic may prove the grave toa sinall per centage of those out-going myriads ; but su sure as steam has narrowed 16 to, at most, a fortnigitly ferry, su sure the future of these myriads 1s destined, within our own time, to play an important part, directly or

lands they leave, us well as the fate of the lands they sail for. The transier of a third vt @ million of productive people a year— mostly adults—trom old kingdoms to new republics, from a monarchy to a democracy, 13 a fact in the history of our times beiore which most other things that are called poli- tics sink into insignificance, whether regarded in their caases or in their copsequences. Is there not a balance of production as well as & balance of power? Is there not a war of idsas in the world—a war of which.our wide- spread language has lung been the battlefield —uas well as dynastic wars and civil wars? (cheers). My object, however, is not so much tu discuss the great general auestion of the economy of emigration as to lay before my fellow-townsmen, and 80 many of my feilow-countrymea as may do me the honur to read the report of what | have to say, the true position vf our countrymen by birth, both in Republican and in British America. iluwever it may conflict with any existing theory, | must set out with the plain state-

ment of this fact — which every one. who

you of the public general position of the Irish in America, why it is that [ am not, or ever was satisfied with that®position, Very early I perceived that herding together in great cities, running up debts with storemen in idle spells, and squandering their wages when flash of cash, was destroying our peo-

ple. L endeavoured to set on foet in 1855, at the Buffalo Convention, a plan for the sys- t tematic settlement of our people in the in'and } States anu in Canada; but, though I still be- | lieve it was a good plan, it failed for want of id

support, and the next year I voluntarily transferred my housebold gods to the valley of the St. Lawrence. Loud and fierce was the ; outery of the demagogues at this desertion,

as they were pleased to callit. They did

not hesitate tu fling foul phrases and ribald

reproaches after me. I was no Irishman— no freeman—because I preferred an orderly ; British Provinee in which to live, and a TE woral city like Montreal in which to bring te up my children, They called me traitor! renegade! apostate! but I tell them from this spot—those of them who still survive to hear me—I tell them in your presence, my fellow-townsmen, who have of ail others most closely watched my course, that [ have done more in ten years, by a steady, constita tional line of public conduct; by blending the warm Irish impuieee (which I shall only cease to feel when | cease to live) with rational and lawful public objects; that L have done more, bumble as [ am, to conquer back the respect of intelligent men in Great Britain i

and America for tae Lrish name, than any { half hundred of the demagogues put together, (Cheers). Forgive me, Sir, | did not intend this; but having now meationed my removal to Canada, you will expect me to say some- thing of the position of our countrymen in that and the adjoining Provinces. British America—if we speak of the whole region from Wewfoundland to Vancouver — includ- ing the vast territories held by the Hadson's i Bay Company, covers about one-third of the

Continent ; it is, in extent, greater than the 1 Republican States, greater than all Europe 1] —or, more statistically, it is about 3,000

miles from sea to sea, and 1,600 from the |

American frontier to the Pule—inelading : about 4,000,000 of square miles. Of this re-
