THE I‘LATFORM.
The Irish-Ainericaikteeople, assembled
in convention at Philadelphia, submit to
the intelligence and rigjfit reason of their
fellow men that the duty of government
is tc preserve the lives of the governed,
to defend their liberty, to protect their
property, to maintain peace and order, to
allow each portion ot the jnjople an equit
able and efficient voice in the legislature,
and to promote thy general welfare by
wise, just and humane Jaws. We sol
emnly declare and cite unquestioned his
tory and the universal knowledge of liv
ing men in testimonyHfliereof:
First—That the English government
has existed iu Irelatfd, not to preserve
the lives of the governed, but to destroy
them. Entire communities it has wan
tonly massacred by the sword. To the
asylums of terrified women it has delib
erately applied the blazing torch. Into
helpless towns it has discharged deadly
bombs and shells. Through consecrated
crypts, \Vh3re' Ige and infancy sought
shelter, it has sent its bloody butchers.
The sacred of venerable priests
it has stretched upon the rack or suspend
ed from the gibbet.- Puling babes have
been impaled on tbe.pgints of its bayonets
because, 'in their own .words, its emissa
ries “liked that spoil.” Its gold has
been folded in the hand of the assassin,
and rewarded the infatoy Of the perjured
traitor. Its treaeheitous faishood has
lured patriots to unsuspected death. As
if the sword, the eaufion, the torch, the
scaffold, the dagger, and the explosive
were not enough, it enjoys the unique
infamy of being the 3 !only government
knpwn to ancient or modern times wide!*
has employed famine for the desiruetion
of those from whom it claimed allegiance.
Forcibly robbing the Ic isb people of the
fruits of their own toil, produced by their
ownjabor, it has buried, not a hundred,
not a thousand, hut more than a million
of the Irish race, unshrouded, uneofttued,
in the grave of hunger. It has merciless
ly compelled other millions, in compul
sory poverty, to seek in alien lands the
bread they were entitled to in their own.
There is no form of cruelty known to the
lowest savage which has not practised on
the Irish people in the name of the high
est civilization. There is no device of
fiendish ingenuity it has not adopted to
reduce their numbers. Within two years
it has massacred children, and woman’s,
body has been the victim of its licensed
ruffians. There is no species of destruc
tive attack, however insidious or violent,
ancient or modern, rude or scientific—
whether directed against life or matter
in any portion of the globe—for which
its barbarities in Ireland have not furn
ished the example. There is no form of
retaliation to which despair or madness
may- resort for which English cruelty in
Ireland-is not exclusively responsible.
Secondly—We declare the English
government in'lreland lias not defended
the liberty of the people, but has annihi
lated it. The statutes enacted since the
invasion amount to a series of coercion
laws, framed to deprive eitizens of all
vestiges of personal freedom and to re
duce them to outlawry in order to con
fiscate their property and compel them to
flee to foreign lands. Since the begin
ning of the present century, when the
Irish Parliament was abolished, the laws
for Ireland have been made in England,
and during that period habeas corpus and
the right of trial by jury have been sus
pended more than fifty times; hordes of
soldiers have been loosed upon a people
forbidden to bear arms, and a state of war,
with all its attendant horrors, with occa
sionally those of retaliation, has been
maintained. To-day, representatives of
the people are in prison, guiltless of
crime. Freedom of speech is abolished.
Freedom of the press is abolished. The
right of peaceable public meeting is an
nulled. No man’s house is secure night
or day from armed marauders who may
insult and harass his family. Without a
warrant, the citizen may be thrown into
prison; without counsel he may be put
on mock trial before a prejudiced .fudge
and a packed jury. On the lying aver
ments of purchased wretches bis liberty
may be sacrificed or his life taken in the
name of law.
Tbirdly—lnstead of protecting the pro
perty of the people, the English govern
ment in Ireland has been a conspiracy for
its injury and ruin. Of 20,000,000 acres
of producing land, 6,000,000 have been
allowed to lie waste. The ownership of
the remainder, generally acquired by
force or fraud, has been retained in the
hands jf ravenous monopolists, who have
annually drained the country of its
money iu the form of .rents, no portion
of which goes back to the Irish people.
In addition to this an iniquitous system
of taxation imposes on the people a gi
gantic burden for the sustenance of a
foreign arrHj r , for an oppressive constab
; ulary, for salaries to supernumerary offi
cials and placemen, for pensions to Eng-
li'h favorites, for blootl mouey, lor iu
formers. ami lor a vulgar court, whose
hextravagance is equalled ©uiy by the
shall of its pretension*? The naturally
createf! capital of the country is sent to
I Eng-Unl, oti one pretext or another, auU
briqg- no exchange except articles of
English manufacture which the Irish
people under self-government would pro
duce for themselves or purchase in Amer
icu. Irish manufactures, deliberately
| destroyed by England in the last century,
! are still dormant. Her immense water
power turns no wheels. Her canals are
all but impassable. Her rivers are oh
-Btrueted. Her useful clays and valuable
minerals art* untouched. In her beauti
ful harbors are few ships except those of
her enemy. English law for tiie pro
tection of property in Ireland has been a
lance to make Ireland bleed at every pore
for the benefit of the landlord
and the English manufacturer..
Fourthly—The English government
in Ireland lias not maintained peace and
order, but lias for 700 yeans broken her
peace and destroyed her. order.
Fifthly—The English government in
Ireland does not allow that portion of
the empire an equitable and efficient
voice in the legislature. In England
one-twefth of the population votes for
members of Purliment; in Ireland one
twentv-tifth of the population votes for
members of Parlamenfc. In England the
registration laws are favorable to the
voter; in Ireland they are inimical to’the
voter. In England all classes of the
population are fairly represented; in Ire
land the poor law is employed to secure
the landlords and place-hunters a pre
ponderance in the national delegation.
In England the judiciary is independent
of the executive, and sympathises with
the people; in Ireland the judiciary is
the creature and part of the executive,
and is appointed exclusively from tlie
enemies of the people. In England, the
magistracy is chosen without regard to
creed; in Ireland, ninety-seven per cent,
of ,the magistrates having jurisdic
tion over personal liberty are selected
from a creed rejected by seventy-eight
per cent, of the people, and the dejteat
able spirit of religious bigotry is thus
legalized and perpetuated. In England
the laws creating civil disabilities on ac
count of religion have long been dead;
■ift Ireland, laws made under Edward 111.,
'Qpeen Elizabeth, tlie Earl of Strafford,
’Charles 11., Queen Anna, and their suc
cessors are still vital, to torment a people
for whose oppression no statute is found
too heavy by venal and trueuleut judges.
Every measure of legislation proposed by
an English member receives courteous
consideration. Any measure, however
just r necessary, or humane, proposed by
patriot Irish members is certain of con
temptuous rejection by a combined ma
jority of both the great English parties.
Thus the educational system of Ireland is
notoriously inadequate. Tims it is that
evictions, unknown in England, and de
clared by filr. Gladstone be almost equiv
alent to death sentences, are o <? daily oc
currence in Ireland, and liaye nearly
doubled in five years in spite of the boast
ed benefits of the Gladstone land laws.
Thus it is that although, according to
government returns, the criminals are 27
in 10,000 of the English population, and
only 1C iu 10,000 of the Irish population,
in spite of the exasperation to which they
are subjected, yet England enjoys con-
stitutional liberty and Ireland is under
worse than martial law. The intrepid
and persistent attempts of a patriot Irish
deputation to obtain in the English Par
liament just and humane laws for Ireland
has always been, is, and, in our belief,
must continue to be a failure.
therefore, in view of these facts,
be it resolved by the Irish-Atnerican
people in convention assembled, that the
English government in Ireland, origina
ting in unsurpation, perpetuated by
force, having failed to discharge any of
the duties of government, .never having
acquired the consent of the governed,
has no moral right whateve- to exist in
Ireland; and that it is the duty, of the
Irish race throughout the world to sus
tain the Irish people in the employment
of all legitimate means to substitute for it
national self government.
resolved, That we pledge our unquali
fied and constant support, moral and ma
terial, to our countrymen in Ireland in
their efforts to recover national self-gov
ernment ; and in order the more effectu
ally to promote this object by the con
solidation of all our resources and the
creation, of one responsible and authorita
tive body to speak for greater Ireland in
America, that all the soeilies represented
in this convention, and that all may here
after comply with the conditions of ad
mission, be organized into-the Irish Na
tional League, of America, for the purpose
ot supporting the Irish National League,
of Ireland, of which Charles Stewart
Parnell is president.
Iltsolced, That we heartily endorse the
noble sentiment of Bishop Butler of Lim
erick ‘‘that every stroke of Forster’s sav
age lash was for Irishmen anew proof of
Parnell’s worth, and an additional title
for him to the confidence and gratitude
of his countrymen.”
Resolved , That we sympathize with
the laborers of Ireland in their efforts to
improve their condition, and as we have
sustained the farmers in their assaults
upon the landlord garrison, we now urge
upon.the farmers justice and humane
consideration for the laborers. I the
words, for the employment of which an
Irish member of parliament was impris
oned, we demand that the farmers allow
the laborers “a fair day’s wages for a fair
day’s work.”
Resolved, That a&the manufactures of
( Great Britiau are the chief source of her
material greatness, already declining un
der the influence of American competi
tion, we earnestly counsel our country
men in Ireland tb buy nothing in Eug-
laud which they can produce in I inland,
or procure from America or France, ami
we pledge ourselves to promote frij.ii
manufacturers hy encouraging their im
ports into America, and to use our ill most
endeavor, hy jdatn statements of facts,
and discrimination in patronage, to per
suade American tradesmen from keeping
English goods on sale.
litsoh■■<!, That an English Ministry
ostentatiously “liberal” has earned the
contempt and detestation of fair-minded
men throughout the world by imprison
ing more than a thousand citizens of Ire
land without accusation or trial, a number
of whom were noble-hearted women en
gaged in works of mercy among the
evicted victims of landlord rapacity and
English law.
IttpolrtoJ, That this convention thanks
the Right Rev. John Ireland, bishop of
St. Paul ; the Right Rev. John O’Con
nor, bishop of Omaha; the Right Rev.
John Lancaster Spalding, bishop of Peo
ria; the Most Rev. John Williams, arch
bishop of Boston ; the Right Rev. S. V.
Ryan, bishop of Buffalo; the Most Rev.
Patrick A. Feehan, Archbishop of Chi
cago; the Right Rev. Edward Fitzgerald,
Bishop of Little Rock, arid their co-la
borers, for their efficient efforts in provid
ing homes for (lie Irish einmigrants into
the United states. The people of Ireland
are by the laws of God and nature entitled
to live by their labor in their native land
whose fertile soil is abundantly able to
nourish them; but since a brutal Gov
ernment compels a large number to emi
grate, it is the duty of their countrymen
to wain them against the snares of pov
erty in large cities, arid to assist them in
the agricultural regions
Resolved, That the policy of the Eng
lish government in first reducing the Ir
ish peasantry to an abject poverty, and
then sending them penniless to the United
States,dependants upon American chari
ty,is .unnatural,inhuman,and an outrage
upon the American Government and peo
ple. We respectfully direct the attention
of the United Sjates Government to tins
iniquity, protest against its e< n inuance
and instruct the officials who shall be
chosen hy this Convention to present our
protest to tiie President of the United
States, and respectfully but firmly to urge
upon the president that it is the duty of
the government of the .{Tinted States to
decline to support pan pyre whose pauper
ism began under mol in the result of Eng
lish misgovern men t, and to demand of
England that she send so more of her pau
pers to these sh ires to become a burden
upon the American people.
i?esolppl,That tnis Convention welcorries
the sturdy and undaunted patriot and the
prudent custodian, Patrick Egan, who to
protect tneTaritf Eeague'Tulids flWlt' the
robber hands of the English Government
voluntarily abandoned his private busi
ness end accepted a long exile in a for
eign land; the integrity of whose guard
iauship lias been certified after a minute
examination of his books by the distin
guished and Independent patriots John
Dillon, the Rev. Eugene Sheely, and
Matthew Harris. Grateful for his inval
uable service his countrymen rejoice that
.they possess on this important occasion
the advantage of his wise and experi
enced counsel, and are proud to welcome
him to their hearts and their homes.
THE AVERAGE JUROR.
A writer in one of the leading legal
journals in the country says:
“There is something .phenomenal in
the way that many men lose their senses
as soon as they are drawn to
serve as jurors. Individuals who, in the
walks of private life, are regarded as
especially bright specimens of humanity,
no sooner take their seats in the jury box
than they are suddenly transformed into
imbeciles of the most unhappy descrip
tion. Very few, indeed, seem to under
stand that their sole duty is to render a
verdict according to the evidence before
them. Nearly all imagine that they are
to act as interpreters of the law, and a
great majority seem to regard themselves
as arbiters entrusted witn the settlement
of a dispute according to their individual
preferences. In many instances jurors
will spend many weary hours of consul
tation and debate over cases which, to
the mind of the court, the bar and the
outside public, are as plain as the noon
day sun, and then come in with a verdict
entirely in conflict with the evidence and
at variance with the conclusions to which
eveiybody else has arrived, Their
methods, too, are often very singular.
Property, liberty, and even the question
of life or death, have been made to de
pend upon the tossing of a coin in a jury
room. There is, in fact, hardly any
eccentricity of which the average jury
man is not liable to be guilty.”
Denison’s Balsamic Syrup of Ked
Spruce gum and Button root is without
any doubt the most remarkable, pleasant,
and positive cure for all diseases of the
Chest .and Lungs that has ever been dis
covered. One who had suffered long,
and was supposed to be dying of con
sumption, says “Denison’s Balsamic Sy
rup cured me when ail other remedies
tailed, and it is the most pleasant and
agreeable Cough remedy in the world.”
Try it, and you will never .use any other
remedy for Colds, Coughs, Asthma,
Bronehites etc. etc.

AARON* BURR’S PISTOI .
A I'lormidalilc Pair of Weapon*, One of
Wlilch Killed Hamilton.
1 *r mm *
Luuisn Ci vri'r-xf'tUrnal: Some week*
ago l ran sM'.rbtsjWThnfw the miwf famous
and fatal firearms On Hits--continent—the
superb duelling pistole of Aaron Burr.
They are a bone-breaking brace of the
first calibre, and the property of Captain
Brent Hopkins, of this city. One of
these pistols fired the bill that killed
Alexander Hamilton at VVeehawken. It
is identified by a long, deep notch indent
ed oil the handle. The pistols were made
by Mortimer, of London, England, and
were imported by Aaron Burr at the ctoae
of the revolutionary war. The barrels
are thirteen inches long and cFrry an
ounce ball. They are flhif locks; and the
pans for the priming are liried with gold
and the touch holes are bushed with the
same metal. They are hair triggers and
shoot with great force ami accuracy.
The locks are very sujierlor and of ex
quisite mechanism. The pair came into
the possession of Captain Brent Hopkins,
the present owner, through his .uncle,
Captain Sam Goode Hopkins, of the For
ty-second Regiment of United States
Dragoons, who purchased them from
Burr in Washington City In the winter
of 1813 or 1814. paying SSOO In gold for
them. Burr remarked at the time that
he would not let any one else have the
pistols, as he had used them with Hamil
ton.
The weapons have surely a blood
stained history. They have been used
with fatal effect In eleven dufcls. Among
the sanguinary combats, Pettis, of Vir
ginia, killed Biddle on Bloody Island,
near St. Louis; Edward Towns, of Vir
ginia, killed a Frenchman near New
Orleans: Capt. Sam Goode Hopkins kill
ed a Spanish Count near Madrid, Missou
ri; Hugh Brent killed a man from Geor
gia on tliamoftd Island, below, Hender
son, Kentucky. They were used several
times in Virginia, twice In South Caro
lina, and more than once in Kentucky,
with deathly effect. Robert Triplett, of
Owensboro, shot the old lawyer, Phil
Thompson, of that city through and
through with one of them, but, strange
to say, Thompson recovered, ami grew
as fat as a bear. Henry Clay and Capt.
Hopkins were fast friends, ami the form
er was to have used the pistols In one of
his duels, but they arrived a day too lale.
Dynamite is one of the many products
or combinations of nitro-glyceriue and
thirteen times as powerful as gun power.
The discovery of tlvis dangerous and po
tent explosive was made in 1810 by
Aseagne Sobrero, then a pupil In the lab
oratory of Helouze, the eminent. French
chemist, wlo devoted tweut} years of
his life'to~the TnVfesflgKlon of the ehem
istrv of oils and fats. Dynamite was
patented in the United states May
1868, the patent being granted Alfred
Noble of limburg, Geriurny, assignor to
John Bandmann of -San Francisco. It
consist* of nitro-glyceriue with a sub
rtanee of great absorbent power, such,for
snstance, its fullers’ eath of rotten stone.
By this composition the explosivensss of
the nytrr-glycerine is controlled, as it
were, and the compound is capable of
withstanding all the ordinary dangers of
transportation, while at the same time
i its explosive power is not lessend. The
process of manufacture is very simple.
You take a certain proportion of nitric
and sulphuric acid and mix them with
•certain other proportions of glycerine,
which is the essence of fat, to make the
nitro- glycerine. To make dynamiteyou
only need to mix nitro-glyeeriue with
some absorbent material—fullers’ earth
is the best—to have dynamite.— Philadel
