P. O'Connor, in his address |to the electors of Liverpool (Scottish 'Division) says the people will have at least the opportunity of ridding themselves for ever of a servitude 'to a prejudiced, insolent-aristocracy.

Brassey (eldest son of Lord Brassey, formerly Governor of Victoria), in forwarding EoOO sterling to Mr O'Brien's All for Ireland Fund, said-- that Ireland had no worse enemies than the extremists who preached hatred to England, or the Orangemen, threatening bloodshed if the existing forni'oT government was not preserved. The,lrish Directory, in a manifesto, declares that the defeat of the Lords will clear the path to Home Rule.
