BOSTON , August 13. The last delegates to
tbo convention of the Irish National Icnguu
hold a secret meeting until afrer midnight.
The principal business was defining the policy
which shall govern the proceedings of the con'
vontion to-day. Delegates nro nearly unani'
moua in favor of prohibiting discussion in nny
form of American politics. It was decided to
recommend Judge Mooney. of Buffalo , for
temporary chairman. The Iowa State league
sent 51000 to Sullivan for the parliamentary
.fund. Seven hundred delegates nro in town.
NEW YORK , Aug. 13. Mr. Sexton comes as
I'arncll'H representative ! to the land league
convention in Boston. So.xtou was seen by
a reporter to whom ho said :
"My only purpose in this visit to America is
to observe the formation nud system of the
league and discuss methods for fostering har
mony which Is nlono successful in carrying
out the purposes ol thu league. 1 do not
doom it wise , in a year like this , when the
country Is absorbed In a presidential contest ,
to endeavor to gain attention for any other
subject. I shall probably return homo .tho
30th iust. , as political ovonta require my ( at
tention soon after. Next year I shall coma
again and addre's the citizens of your country
on a subject of the work wo have in hand. "
When asked if ho had any special view of
the news from the other sida Sexton sa'd :
"No ; affairs remain adout the same. The
land laws nro badly administered. The gov
ernment appointed land commissioners who
are in sympathy with the landlord claw and
they broke it ' back of Iloaly's act. That a
tenant should be compelled to pay rent on his
own improvements is shameful , and the
league s first effort is toward the abolishment
of thatsjstem. Whonwo accomplish that end
the adjudication of rents will bo taken up.
There's no doubt that tlia question will require -
quire long consideration. "
Thos. Sexton and Wm. Redmond arrived
this morning and left for Boston to attend
the land league convention. Sexton stated
his relations with Parnell and Davitt were
friendly and that no estrangement existed bo-
the two latter.
THE UETOBATJONtf.
Auguet 13. Fanouil hall wan
filled at noon with 800 delegates to the Irish
national league convention at d friends. Many
ladies of the woman's branch of the league
were present , also many priests. The hall was
nicely decorated. The platform and pier con
sists of a triple arch of original design. The
main arch has in the center a sunburst seven
feet in diameter and drawn back sortie foot in
the middle. Surmounting this is n golden
harp in the Irish pattern , ornamented above
with a gilt drop , the wholu being crowned
with the motto , in Irish , "More light
for sacred Ireland. " On the other Bide
are numerous festoons of American and
Irish flags , tastefully arranged and with ex
cellent effect Surmounting columns that
support the main arch am shields , upon each
of which is an Irish harp in gold relief. Over
topping each of these are bannerotts , a staff
tipped with battlcaxes of silver. Upon the
faceof the arch is the motto ; "Right will
triumph over wrong. " Beneath are festoons
of green material decorated with gilt stars
upon the loft , and gilt shamrocks upon
tight. Upon either side of the main arch are
smaller gothlc arches. Surmounting these
columns are circular pieces two feet in diame
ter. Those next to the mam arch upon either
side are iu light blue giound , edged with gold
and in these circles are American shields In
gold relief. The circles surrounding the out
side columns are of green ground work , edged
with gold , with the harp ot Erin in gold relief.
In thu spaces between the main and Gothic
arches are panels bearing the names of Swift ,
Molynoaux , Grattan , limmott , Flood , O'Con-
neil , Davitt and Parnoll. Over fiUOO feet of
bunting liavo been used in decorating and the
effect is very imposing.
1'BESiDKNT SULLIVAN'S ADDRESS.
fJIIon. A. M. Sullivan , president of the
national league , addressed thu convention as
follows :
Gentlemen of the convention : In the naino
and by the authority of thu Irish National
league of America , wo moot to fulfill the re
quirements of its constitution ; to convoy to
our kindred the message of our steadfast de
votion ; and to receive the ambassadors whom
they have commissioned to acquaint us with
the progress of their struggle for self-govern-
mont. The memorable i'hiladelphia conven
tion organized the Irish National league of
Aineifca. It is the auxiliary of the Irish
National league of Ireland , the heir of all the
hopes , and the guardian of moro than the aims
of that gro it Bocial revolt which , lifted tlu >
Irish farmer from the earth to his feet , and
cast the English system of landlordism in
Ireland on its face on the earth. The land
league was
HORN IN AN IIOUH OF WOK
when the spoctro f ami no appeared , summoned
not by the breath of Go I withering the har
vest , uut by the Km'luh government. With
armies and fleets , with prisons and scaffolds
and fulon ships , with coertion acts and con
stabulary , it enabled the landlord to withhold ,
until purchased by foreign charity , the food
the people had produced by their own labor
out of their own soil. Humane , nay , liumblu
as was the first object of thu Land League , it
was suppressed by force because the Knglieh
government feared that from the brow of its
humanity would spring the spirit of liberty.
The Irish National league , whosa distinct
and avowed purpose is the establishment of
the sovereignly of the Irish people in Ireland ,
is the embodiment of that spirit of liberty ,
It cannot bo suppressed , for it * spirit is 5m
moitnl. It s beyond the scope of coercio :
acts , for its lifo is as endless ns the Ufa of ,
rnco. The shamrock on it < banner , tcir-bo
dewed in its native bed , is thfl symbol of th
glorioui union of the rnco in three hones
separated by the seas that divide continent ?
united by thu determination of n race t
achieve
THK is'ircrKNiiKxcK OVANATIOK.
As the hind league accomplished the relic
of ft class , the national Ioag > io represents tin
aspirations nud the resolve of nn entire pee
pie. As the farmers Imvo been the chief ben
cficlarlcR of the struggles and sacrifices thus
far made , the Irish people throughout th
world , who participate in the struggles am
share the sacrifices , admonish the farmers
that they ewe a duty to their country in at
easiest support of the aims of the nationa
league. We warn them that until the chit-
object of the national league is achieved na
tion.il self-government their own position I
still unsafe. The national league aims no
merely at a reduction of rents ; not mi-rely nt
n change from idle proprietors to working
proprietors , but at the creation of complete
national llfo and the development of all the
diversified industries which render n pcoplo
SKLP-8CSTAININO AJtt ) ritOSl'EROUS.
The farmer * are rightly admonished that i
they fall to extend to the laborer * the frater
nal aid they have themselves received ; if thej
rail to encourage Irish products , to the exclu
sion of English goods ; If they luwtnto to in
vest in domestic industries they will bo moro
odious in the sight of God and man lhan the
audloitU from whose clutch they have been
released. Wo do not doiro in Ireland the
substitution of potty selfishness for gigjntic
robbery. The ingratitmlo of the farmer will
) o moro despicable and moro dangerous that ]
the tyranny of the landlords , because that in-
jratitudo will bo treason to n nation. The
; conomic and civil lifo of a people can bo do-
eloped only by a sincere , noble and effectual
ohesion of all classes for the common welfare.
Tim work of the league in the United States
ins been directed first to
KXIHNO All ) TO Tim TREASURY I.V inilLAST ) ,
vhoso moderate requirements , in the absence
of any emergency , hive been fairly met , and
; o the enlightenment and solidification of
American opinion. While fprco is still nblo
, o prolong despotism , justice is not dependent
m arms alone. Ireland , unable to cope with
ho empire that denim her a constitution and
> arlianiont , appeals from the bayonet of her
nvatler to thu conscience and the mind of
mankind , and asks whether her demands are
not met , and whether her patience , her
norrdity and her perseverance have not been
ublituc. The American mind is essentially
irncticnl , and during the past year wo have
indeavcred to make it acquainted with thu
iractical aspects of English misrule in Ireland.
Vo have asked our American countrymen to
ontcmplato the impoverishing taxation , the
rushed manufactures , the restricted educa-
ion , the diminished agriculture , the compul-
iory emigration of the people of Ireland. Wo
lave aiked the American conscience to ecru-
Inizo the
CORUUTT AND INFAMOUS JUDICIAL SYSTEM
; rinilv maintained there for the torture and
laughter of the people. Wo have asked
American freemen to contemplate the sup-
> ression of free speech , the intimidation of the
iress , and the extinction of personal liberty
nder an administration nominally constitu-
ional , actually a barbarous. despotism. The
csults of our labor are apparent in the sym-
Kithelic unanimity with which the American
> reps sustain the struggle of our countrymen
it home , and the universal expression of pub-
e opinion of the republic. Nor are these re-
ults morn recognized by the press of England ,
vhich no longer affects to underrate the in-
elligenco or the resources of the Irish race
hroufjhout the world , or to dcpiso its deter-
nination , or to bo indifferent to the menacing
jittcruess of its memory.
It is now apparent to thoughtful men on
rath aides of the sea that the interests of tin
American republic are
IDENTICAL WITH THK INTERESTS OF ItlELAND.
Every year that witnesses the denial of
f self-government for Ireland is a year of
axation upon n considerable portion of the
Linerican pcoplo for the fiipport of the Eng-
ish crown in Ireland. The drain of money
: om the toilers of the United States to aid
teir kindred in Ireland will continue until
10 government which they detest , and which
; eep.-i thbtn poor and dependent , is expelled.
n whatever measure wo enlist the sympathy
ind the influence ! of thu American republic iu
lehalf of the pcoplo of Ireland , wo render a
rvico to the republic. It has been the prac-
co of the English government for moro tlun
generation to drive vast numbers of thu
rish people off small agricultural holdings in-
, o foul and vicious dens called poorhouses.

vhilo wo fastened the attention of the world

oil are under tillage , and that , if permitted to
; overn herself. Ireland is capable of support-
] g five times her population.
Of thu national convention of each of the
; reat political parties , wo requested nnd _ re-
: eivod n pledge that Englibh landlordism ,
wich is nearly expelled from Ireland ,

Istoncd to the genoruos cheera with which

vitu eight millions or five millions of

.p grapple with the intellect and Jorco of pub
ic opinion of five and twenty millions of the
rish race kcattored by his own evil policy all
ho world over and affecting by their intolli-
enco ho conduct of the greatest nations of
, ho earth. [ Applause. ] In the name of the
rish psoplo and the Irish National League of
lie Irish parliamentary party and ita illus
trious leader [ great applause ] I salute thia
great convention of our race , this convention
yhlch by good order , the propriety of its do-
derations and the discretion and judgment of
ho conclusions at which it shall arrive will
irovo to all observers , in defiance of all cnlum-
liatois that capacity for deliberation upon
niportant questions and for Bclf-govcrmnont
vhich our enemies would fain deny us.
In paying my first visit to thia great coun-
ry , which 1 have long wish to visit , both as a
over of national liboily , and also as an Irish-
nan , I count inytelf peculiarly fortunate in
hat I am enabled to condense into the ox-
> erionce of a _ few hours in this city of Hoston
vhat otherwise I could not have gained by
over a year of travel , for hero in this historic
Kill , and in this illustrious city , rich in tradi-
ions of patriotic solf-sacrifico and devotion ,
t is my peculiar good fortune to meet in thin
nspiiing arena an assemblage of men ropra-
enting every stata and territory of this union ,
an assemblage of men. material leaders of the
rish race on the American continent , men
qualified by public service , by character and
jy capacity , _ to intoiprct the thoughts and
viler the sniitimcnts of the Irish race.
I will say that I nm hero not only as the
delegate of the Irish parliamentary parry , but
of the Irish National league [ auplauso ] ; that I
am hero to speak to the people of America ,
not only on behalf of that party , which faces
ho oppressor of our country on the floor of
.ho house of commons , but also to utter the
ontimentfl of that organization , which trains
nd organizes with resolutions and ingenuity
ho strength of the Irish pcoplo for the strug-
lo upon the soil of Ireland. [ Applause , ] I
nn hero as the representative of united Ire-
and. [ Great applause. ] Iain hero to say
hat there is no differeuco in the- principle * ;
no difference in the intentions between men
rtio confront the oppressors of our country in
ho legislative arena , and men who
onduct the public causa at homo ,
nd while I declare there is
t this moment perfect identity of action
nd perfect unity of principle between the
> oopo ! in IreJnrm and wo who struggle for
hem in the English house of commons , and I
> ellovo that I may add that no man who at
liu moment commands thu confidence and
oyq of the just people will bo found in the
riticul future , which Is near approaching ,
vhich will decide not only the social butotho
wlitical rights of our race , to interpose any
jersoual view or preference of his own if ho
inds it will have the effect of injuring the
tnity of the people , or endangering the sue-
ess of their caiiBO. [ Applause. ]
-Speaking to you then as the spokesman of
.Tinted Ireland , I _ would say that 1 have co n
; donce that you will prove ou this occasio i
hut the Irish race , long schooled in politica
adversity , lias learned to extract from it
weefc results , and that , looking back upon
ho past , our country , disfigured along thu
ildeous track of oppression and of suffering ,
you will resolve that the historian will not
lave It to say that you added to these land
marks by your disunion , but tlmt you will
efloct in your conclusions hero , that unity to
vhich the people at homo have been driven ,
nd whatever conclusion you may como to. it
vill bo the conclusion of you nil , and that
vhatover stop you may take to strike down
hi ) power of the oppressor , that step you will
nko nil together , and that there shall bo no
hnnion in your ranks. [ Great applause. ]
