what induced-yen to this country.? ,-(" To
escape tyranny.") Don't think the irdper

you the answer to it. : myself:. Why did r '
you leave the Rhine-and the Memo and
the borders of Lake Geneva ? 'Why : did.
youleave Neufchatel and Constance?
-Wily did );ou,:leavo, the Eibe• ; and the
Scheldt and the Hague 2. Why. did You
leave sunny Italy; the scene .of civil war
for more than a hundred years, and why.
the Vine-clad hills of - France? Why did
yen leave Caledonia; " stern- and . wild,"
and sweet,lakes that nestle in the bosom ,
of hills ? .Why did ;you leave Killarny
andKakenny,and those consecrated places
where Curran and: _ Grattan *thundered
against oppression and WhereEminet laid
down his. life? - (Applause), Why did
you leave the-graves of your- kindred in
the Fatherland, " the God's acre" of Ger-.
many, and the churchyards•ofthe United
Kingdom ? Why.did you leave the

Goth hate been, and 'where. ..they have
