A mass meeting of citizens was held this evening under j the auspices of the Irish Democratic Union, to express condemnation of the treaty of the Joint High Commission.! They protested against the ratification; ! and resolutions were adopted declaring I the diplomatic expression of regret for j depredations by the Confederate cruisers was in no sense adequate re- j paration for the insult and injury sus-' tsined; that the permission given to 1 Canadian fishermen to use American fisheries was in utter disregard of the rights of New England fisheries and it will surrender mercantile interests ; : worth seventeen millon s for a considera-! tion amounting to seven thousand , dollars. There could be no terms of : condemnation too strong for an admin-: istration which remained indifferent 1 while American citizens were con-; ; detuned to penal servitude by the, British government for words spoken in the United States. Speeches were ' made by General Halpine, Hon. W. ; ;T. Kobinson and others. |
