Tho meoting-was XOT A8 WELL ATTENDED wa was hopad, yot, cousldoring tho stato of the weather, was quite as largo as was to have beeu sxpocted, from 800 to 800 persons boing prosout.

Brotherly Jove and equali- ty to-uay oxtsted valy in tho hovels of the poor. {b the valnces such virtues were unkuown. It must fill tho henrts of workingmen with joy to seo how many bad turned out in spite of tho bad weathor to proteat against tyrpuny and op- prosaion. The reason of thia outpouriug was that a ery of pein had reached them from over tho ocean,—from their oppressod brothren i New Caledoula who wero BOYFERING FOB THEM PRINCITLLS, It was the most barbarous outrage over per- petrated, and it way the duty of every working- man to protost against it. No one could imagine tho terriblo suferings and privationa theso poor outcaats had to oudure. Evon tho uecossary provialuns were withheld from the poor suffer- eors, and tho torturcs of tho Middle Ages woro wreaked upon them. To satisfy the cravinga of bunger, they were in tho habit of catching flah, but this ovon has now boen prohibited.” Tha necessary clothing with which to cover their bodies was withbold, snd women ware compelled to draw their scant rotions in cast-away men's ciothibg or go haif naked. Ho gave numberloss other iustancea of barbarous aud brutal troat. mont to which the convictod Communiats wera subjeoted. In view of this, in viow of tho torri~ ble cutrages porpotrated by othor Govornmonts than the Y¥ronch upon workingoien, was it not tlmo that every human belng roso ta protost againat guoh’ shameful scta? Shounld thowr omprhfi; corse thom for haviug neglected 1o holy o doty? ‘That fu this country oven stamotul and atroctous outrages woro cominitted by the authoritles was shown by the action of she police of Now York on the 13th of January, 1874, when they MALTAEATED AND CLUDDED THE WORKINGAEN for peacofully assembling in ® public place. Then there wers tho outrages comwitted by tha Qovornor of Pennsylvauia in aliowing the poor miners to be assaasinated {n cold blood bocauss they tried to secure justice from the hands of tbeir oppressars. The capitalists and rich who wero now ruuning the Goveroment would soon soe the ' Mene, meue, tokel upharsin” on the wall. Thoy had boen weighed and found want. {ng. The workingmen wers no longer content to drink the bittor cup ot sorrow and privation while others wero reveling in luxury snd liviug at ease. It was thereforo the duty of every workingman to gmwaz agaiost tho eruel barbarlun whick was daily practiced against the exiled Commutnista, Many would ask, Wero those Oommaniuts nob murderers and criminals ? Of course, it they bellevod tho daily nross, such was tho fact, Ho, however, would ‘show that tho datly pross hed and that the Communtsts wore in ronlity tho MOBT NODLE AND THE MOST UNSELFIST oenefactors of mankiud, They woro tho purest patriots aud liberty-loving martyrs that evor uved. Ho then gave a hintory of the Commune, Irom a Commuuistio standpoint, showing that ull the barbarities and crime with which thoy wers charged wera actually comtnitted by tho Vergatlles Governmont and’ their wympatluzors, ‘The Government which submitted to bo ruled by » protonder talked abous rebels. But every- body koow ' that tho Government was the most hypocritical in the world.
