THE

IRISH':' VOLUNTEER oity of it was 'that every other month. or week, their influential men were not expressing their views in the same language. If the Volunteer movement had been taken up long ago they would not have the Ulster question so prominent. They would not jhave had the bluff and bluster of it]lIe ~urragh striplings (hear, hear). The opposition in the North was purely sectarian. He regretted this was the case He only hoped that every creed would join in the' national army which could do as much as the Volunteers of 1782. With such a prospect, well might they hop. for' "A Nation Once Awain" (loud appb.ll'.le).

A public meeting was held in Oastleisland 'on Sunday, 5th inst, The meeting was addressed from the balcony of the Crown Hotel, and amongst those on the platform were: -Messrs M P MacElligott, W H O'Connor, R DC; T T O'Connor; the Land League veterans, John Geaney, [erh Kelliher, and T T O'Connor, the former who, despite the grand old age of 82, walked a distance of about seven miles to be present at the meeting. Also present were: ~Messrs T \V \\"Ten, R Finn, J D Rei~y, -Denis J l{cldy, Thos. Costelloe, 1\1 Keane, Lee. Curtin, R lW~lsh, R E Shanahan, C J Browne, S Knight, John Laide. ,,1he following members of the Tra1ee Vol untcer . Committee were ,Present: ~!cssrs. Diarmuid Crean, Chairman, 90.

On the prop.oslt!5ln of Mr ::--1Elligott, seconded u), )'Ir I_,eaney, lII.r I-I O'Connor was moved to. the chair. :\ir. O'Connor, who was received with loud cheers, said-This is a movement that will commend itself to the well-known and widely recognized martial spirit of the town and district (loud cheers). It is a movement that is already firmly established in the ),c1.11 and South, the East and the West, and, I have no doubt, even though your preparations here have been entered on at a late hour, that the fire and the enthusiasm, the real old fighting spirit of the clan's of the Desmond country v.ril make the progress of your movement ]'('3.1 and rapid, so that it ever you are cal.ed upon you will be as ready and disciplined as 1 know you will be anxious' to move forward in the defence of the liberties of your country (loud cheers). It is nob an aggressive movement. It is non-sectarian and non-political. It is open to the manhood of Ireland on the! broad basis that eyery man IS welcome within Its ranks .who, true to him,self IS an Irishman .'S wi lling to do a man s part If the occasion should anse III the defence of his country's Iib-erties. (loud cheers). It was a movement similar to t~l1S ,h7t opened. the) gat,es of College Green ,·0 Grattan s I arltament, and had the Volunteers n~t. been disbanded, the accursed Act of Union would never have been engineered or record~d, and Ireland would be saved the divisions and the dissensions and the miseries of the last 100 years (cheers). All signs lead us to !he belief that a -crisis is imminent. Then it WIll be up to you and 1 to be prepared to see that no unholy combination shall Tend our island into fragments', or stain' her ancient flag of freedom (hear, hear.) To effect that purpose it is necessary for you to join the ranks of the Volunteers. You must submit· yourselves to training and discipline; to learn to obey that you mav be able to command, to learn to erve that you may be able to add tenfold to' the reserve strength at the back of your country's cause (loud cheers). Mr. Crean, who was warmly received, in the course of his remarks said he felt very small in addressing the sons of the historic men of Land War fame. They had' a very strong Corps in Tralee where there were already four companies undergoing instruction. iMr. O'Connor had told them admirably and well the necessity of t11,3 movement. If Ir-eland wants to be a nation there must be an army to defend her-an army of themselves. Disciplined men who would be ever ready to fight for the country. The speaker then at some length explained the rules, orinciples and formation, etc., of the Volunteer movement. Mr. J. 11'Donnell then addressed the meeting. Mr. John Geaney and Mr -:r: T O'C?l'!nor . also addressed the meeting. which terminated with a vote of thanks to the Chairman: _ . • A Provisional C.omrruttee was apPOlnted

with Mr. M'Elligott as secretary, and it was decided to hold a meeting on Tuesday night at the A"O.H. rooms for the purpose of enrolling volunteers. Drill. started immediately after the committee meet. ing. ML Denis J. Reidy was directed to make arrangements for dribl instruotor~ to be present.

D.

CARLOW. At Carlow Urban Council, Mr. Goverrrev !~I:c.c., presiding, -, " b Having ref-erred to the establishment. of I the Irish Volunteers .in the town, Mr. Brennan proposed the following resolutions (1) "That this Council considers the Irish; Volunteer movement established to maintain the rizhts and liberties common to all Irishmer~ to be deserving of the entire practical support of our ~'ellowcountrymen." (2) "That we strongly approve of the action of the Carlow Branch of the DI.L in appointing a committee to make arrangements to have this movement extended to our town." Continuing, Mr. Brennan said that the movement was non-sectarian. All Orange and Green were welcome so that they could have a truly united Nation (hear, hear). In seconding, 'Mr. jackson said the time had arrived for such a movement. It was absolutely necessary. The recent army affair had shown how the people wer-e entirely at the mercy of the military .• Besides, the movement would develop a spirit of manliness. It would tend to make the people self-reliant. It ! wcu ld inspire self-confidence and selfrespect, which. unfortunately, were lacking in some respects. They might nev~er know the use of this movement. : Eventu'tEy they might have reason to . resist foreign invasion, and the movernent no,w started might be the b.eginn i ing of tne final strug~le for Irish liberty j (applausej-c-Mr :u,a:cCarthy wished to, I' make It unde!stood that he w<:s. expressing no opprrnons.

The same Government the other day wavered very near to a grand betrayal ot its pledges to this country, but, thanks to the stand taken by that great leader, M1'. John .Redmond, th.e difficulty locked like being surmounted. It was due to Mr Redmond if occasion arose he should have deeds as well as words behind him, and men prepared and ready to defend their lives, their liberties and their homes as a set-off to this menace thrown down by Ulster (hear, hear) What appealed most forcibly to him was the clerneut of non-sectarianism in the pronosed organisation. It was a laudable idea, and should be the pervading tone In every. movement for the good of the country (hear, hea:). It would help to bnng about a U1110n of hearts; this union of hearts that we have read so much of, have heard so often of, and for which the most devout amongst us ha\'~ even 'pra~'ed (applause); a consum-. l1l~tlon which would leave no dissentient VO)(,3 to our. country enjoying its own laws and p~.ospenng Ul~de~ them with the right and title of a .I" ation Once Again (app!ause). .

:\ eedless to say WSi, welcome ·ilia new Volunteer movement as an indication that a national spirit is abroad. We have read about the movement in other places, and were glad to see that the Carlow Branch of the United Irish League sanctioned the formation of a corps in Carlow. At '~'Ionday night's meeting of the Carlow Urban Council, we were agreeably surprised at the enthusiasm with which the resolution approving o·f the movement was passed. The atttitude of the veterans was reminiscent of the poet telling of the soldier who "shouldered his crutch and showed how fields were won." Lukewarm souls became fervid, and the sceptics began to ponder. The young; men of Carlow have taken up te national spirit -we were going to say sword-in earnest and the civic fathers have given their blessing. The watchword still is "Ireland a Nation" one and indivisible-c-vCar. low Nationalist."

~ CASTLEBAR. There was a splendid muster of Volunteers on Sunday when the whole battalion was photographed in -rnarching order by 2II\: T A Wynne in Ellison street. The newly organised fife and drum band of tho volunteers made its first appearance on that day and the music was very much appreciated. The splendid bras's band of the Temperance Society was also in attend2.J1ce, and when the battalion was photographed they paraded the princlpa1 streets of' the town headed by the bands. Subsequently a parade was held at the drilling grounds and several new members were enrolled.

Mr T Dawson, town clerk, presided, and explained the objects and constitution of the Volunteers, stating a branch was very necessary in town, and now that all Ireland had practically moved in the matter Tipperary shotuld not be ba-ckward in upholding its national reputation. Mr James O'Brien in a very able speech moved the resolution that a branch of the Volunteers be formed. Mr Berm seconded the proposition, which was passed with acclamation, There was a provisional committee of six formed, Messrs T F Rogers and Liam O'Riain to act as secretaries. Sunday, the 26th, was fixed for the publ:c meeting, when a speaker from headquarters will be invited.

BELFAST. The general committee of the Belfast Corps have reason to feel PT011d of the progress of the movemen.t in the 'northern capital. The natural aptitude of the men for drill and the really creditable displays they give even on first trial might be attributed to the fact that the men are putting :{)fth their most earnest effort to make theinselves efficient Volunteers and be ready, if necessary, to t~ke the field and' fight 'for Ireland a nation.

Long before the appointed hour lor forming the corps of volunteers had arrived the unceasing train G!t Bae stalwart young fellows ll'll1.klnC1their way towards the Hibernian liJau ~vas witnessed. When the critical moment arrived not a square inch of room was left; the whole crowd stood while the National song was sung "A Nation Once Again." Kever to the memory of the oldest inhabitant of the town was such marked enthusiasm manifested by soung and old. A Provisional Committee Was formed to get the Volunteer movement under way. The Provisional Committee are-s-Messrs Thos Godfrey, c u., President, A 0 H; James J O'Sullivan, P S C, Secretary, A 0 H; Alexander Eager, James W' Murphy, Vice-President, A 0 H; J OM Slattery, marshall, A 0 H; Pat Murphy, J Tangney, John Clifford; Wm Godfrey, Pat Sullivan, Con Hayes, ban Keane, Tom Quirke, Con Sullivan, 'Michael Carey, John Carroll, Tames Cronin, Con Shea, JohI) Hurley, Eugene O'Shea, Pat Flynn, This Provisional Committee and the g<lnerol membership are representative of every townland in Milltown and the surrounding parishes. A discussion arose as to the appointing of a colonel; that distinctive honour fell on Mr James J. O'Sullivan, P.S.C., a gentleman of no meal,'! talents, proud of the land of his birth, and a true descendant of the great O'Sullivan Beare. After the meeting on Sunday last O'Sullivan had sufficient volunteers to form 10 skeleton companies. It is confidently expected that by the next meeting these companies will have been fined up. The organisers ape confident that before Lst May they will have enrolled at least 10 battalions in Milltown, Castlema ins and Listry, Arrangements are beIng made for drill halls and rifle ~anges, and ~ few weeks will see things In. full swing. The Secretary, Colonel o Sul livan, P.S.C., Main Street, Mm~own, will be pleased to hear from intendIng volunteers in his district and outside districts. / '

These armed men, he stipulated, should be S1>Idiers of the fighting sort-not bluffers and "lady-killer»" (laughter). Whereat a voice chimed in: "And let none of the officers have conscientious objections like the Curragh, ladl,." (Laughter.) A corps of the Volunteer Army was formed at the conclusion of the meeting.

~ INISHOWEN. In ishowen is one- of the last to join the firing line. That veteran of a hundred Irish fights, Denis Diver is giving a lead. ~Ir Diver has been described by his fellow-veteran A J Kettle, as "one' of th~ very best men who appeared in the/Land League fight."
