Di nt. IN, Dec. 11.—At the banquet . to I'arnell to-night the room was crowded. Davitt, in response to the toat, "Ireland a Nation," said that, led hv I'arnell, they might believe themselves on the threshold of herald ing in the Irish nation. Mayor , Dawson read an address to I'arnell. : I I'arnell was eheeicd for several minutes. He referred to the forma tion of the Land Iycague and said : "Never wa there a movement form ed to contend against such a system of robbery and fraud, in carrying out , which there was so much moderation displayed ami such nbseuce of crime. There were 30,000 soldiers and 3,000 police in Ireland. The law of htAeat cnrpit* ha*l been repeatedly violated. The most significant example was when a thousand Irishmen were im prisoned hy "Buckshot" Foraier. If Liberals wish the Irish to co-operate with them, there must he no more coercion of emigration. We regard any system of emigration we have yet had in this country w a murderous blow against the life of our nation, being accompanied by untold sutfer j iogn on the part of the victim*. Three fourth* of tlie emigrants from Ireland during the lat y<-ar or two have been I compelled to find home* in garret* in New York, Bo*ton aud Montreal. Proceeding* of the Tukea Committee rtnnd expo-ed an indecent attempt to a--i-t the Government to get quit of the Irish difficulty by getting quit of tin- Iri-h people. If we are to be emigrated or eoerced we prefer to have (be dose demonstrated by Tories rather than by wolves in sheep's clothing. The pr-M nt Iri-h Executive is eharae. teri/ d by greater meanness and in capacity than any of his predecessors, liar! .-'p'-necr carne to Ireland as a sort of inferior bottle holder to Ponder. We are not surprised Spencer should do if- het to imitate the biggest coer '•ioiiit who -ver came to Ireland, and that he -lioulii desire to give full play to tin- unbridled insults and passions of a foreign garrison in Ireland. "All our experience with Kuglish dealing* in Ireland results in the con* c'.u*ion, the I.ngli-li arealwavs willing to employ force to the fullest extent aguiu-t the rnas-cs of the people. With regard to the question of including Inland in (he < vten-ion of the fran chise our | -ition i- strong and win ning ore.
