YOUNG NEW ZEALAND DEMO CRATIC ASSOCIATION.

Addresses by Sir George Grey and air J. A. Connell

A meeting of gentlemen desirous of form ing the Young New Zealand Democratic Association, projected by Mr J. Aitken Connell and confirmed by public meeting in the Choral Hall on Monday week, was iield last night in the lecture hall of the Y.M.C.A.'s Rooms. The attendance was pnly moderate, the lower portion of tho hall being only half full, and three ladies having the gallery all to themselves. Sir George Grey and Mr. Connell upon their entrance were received with loud ap plause. Upon Mr Connell's motion, Mr J. M, : McLachlan was called to the chair.

i Mr Bridgewater took the opportunity to announce that the debate "Free Trade Protection " —about which there had been some confusion—was fixed for Friday next.

The Chairman having opened the pro ceedings, called upon Sir George Grey to address the meeting. Sir George was received with applause. He began by saying that he fully believed that politics in their true and right Bense were a part of religion. It did not sufficiently strike iis that every one we met was an individual soul whose .welfare was as great a matter to the Creator las anyone else's welfare. Neither did wo 'reflect enough upon the dignity of labour. JThe world had been placed under our go vernment, and the laws or precepts given ,88 by a Supreme Being were only of a 'general character, to be interpreted om^ selves for their application to the needs of our daily lives. Every ■ nation almost had interpreted them differently.' We could hardly conceive how bloodthirsty tome of our old laws were, or credit the number of young people who were put to Seath for so venial an ofience as picking jpockets. It was of the utmost importance ithafc we should have good laws, and for krhafc purpose it was essential that our youth j—who would provide tho future legislators lof the country—should be properly in structed. They should be trained in the JBtudyof ourlaws,andconsider every question Sbat concerns the happiness and well-being [of their fellow-creatures. In this new country new circumstances were constantly 'arising, and ifc was necessary to be prepared [to meet them to the best advantage. Then, again, we had an immense landed estate, the possession of which might tempt our legislators to cupidity. In both these yespects we occupied a quite different position from people in England. It was essential that our youths Should be able to act for them selves, to frame good and ju.-l laws, and to administer thorn impartially. He earnestly e,xhprted our young men to this preparatory Work. It was one of his own greatest Consolations that when he should close his

fey,es.oii earth, he had used every effort ijio possessed to render the benelits which 60a had so liberally bestowed on the earth available for everyone of those beings, his fellow men, whom he came in contact with. The young people needed a full equip ment to withstand the temptations that would beset them. He would leave to other teachers the instructions as to the Bpiritual armour needed. But he would Bay that it was a most important thing that they should determine upon all great politi cal questions that no temptation or per suasion should cause them to swerve from the straight path of political honour, or to give their support to measures which they believed to be wrong, or to join other parties in some vast speculation for the purpose of acquiring land for their own benefit. He adjured the young people to cultivate that greatest of all virtues - a positive re liance, the power of rightdoing ; to make a positive resolve to adhere to it; and to come to a positive determination to sacrifice even life itself rather than depart from just pnd righteous principles which had been implanted in', us by our Maker. for His glory on earth. They should foster that greatest of all endowments—a sympathy jor our fellow-creatures, and a charity im pelling us to assist those who are beneath jas by reason of their own weakness or mis conduct to raise themselves again to the posi tion from which they had fallen. They should'hot be too ready to ascribe faults to others, but rather ready to pardon and to give all a chance of re-establishing them selves again in life, recollecting that this was thelaw by which Providence dealt with ns. The statesman who secures some great benefit for his fellow men leaves behind him something which never dies. They not only had the power to do this, but there was no telling what benefits might accrue to after generations from their labours. He therefore hoped that they would form a political association as proposed—not for the purposes of squabbling upon political matters, not for the purpose of assisting certain parties, but to enable them to devise measures for the good of all. (Applause As they had much business to do that night, he would not detain them longer. Perhaps rjie should in the future meet them often. •He had tried in plain words to set before ;them his own views upon the subject, which were, perhaps, deeper and graver than any of them might believe. As Sir George Grey had at this stage to leave the meeting, the Chairman called for a vote of thanks lor him, which was carried by acclamation. Mr Connell then came forward amidst applause. He said that he too would not require to detain them long, as they al ready knew his views upon the matter. He might state that his only object in try ing to form this association was because he looked to the young colonial blood of the colony to work for the good of the country. All it wanted was a few older men, like Sir George Grey to take the lead. It was gratifying to him to find that although pir George Grey and himself differed upon pome matters,still he threw himself heartily Into the project. (Applause.) He looked upon it as a most important matter, the formation of this Association. The time would come when instead of 150 men they would number them by thousands, and then their power would be felt. It was because he foresaw that the movement would be .takenup throughout the colony that he was Was glad to see-that Association formed. It would yet become a great political force, UK it would prevent small knots of pien ivGxa doing what they pleased with the country. What they wanted was to get 'pho young, colonials to fool their responsi bility in this matter, and not hang back for pear of a little trouble or mud-throwing, ijle had conferred with Sir George Grey iupon the matter, and they had decided that it would be advisable to change the name of jth.sA4fipcio.tion fromthe Young New Zealand i Democratic Association to the Young New 'Zealand Political Association. He would, fto test the feeling of the meeting, propose jthe, following resolutions:—" That this meeting resolves to form the Young New Zealand Political Association, the objects jof whiqh shall be (1) To encourage the js{;udy of political subjects by its mem bers with the view of enabling them to take an active and intelligent part in connection with the consideration of public questions and the direction of public affairs. (2) Without committing it uelf to any particular set of political Opinions generally, to seek to discover and support at elections for members of the JElouse of Representatives gentlemen of in telligence and education having fixed moral aruT political principles, and to oppose and discourage by all means in its power the return^ of candidates destitute of such principles. (3)' To form, conserve, and find i&eans. for the expression of a spirit of at. *achment ans loyalty to the colony of New Z^lajtwi/and to fi^k to raise the tonpof the

public life of the colony. (4) To establish branches in each Provincial District with local presidents and vice-presidents and other officers." In speaking to the motion, he pointed out the necessity of educating the young colonial mind in political matters. They should study mental science and philosophy. They would soon be able to show candidates that they could no longer be hoodwinked. But the Association should never degener ate into a mere party thing. It should embrace all classes of thought. Mr Con nell concluded by reading some suggestions of his own for the guidance of the Commit tee.

Mr Grace seconded the resolutions, and spoke at some length, after which the motion was unanim.oti.Bly adopted. It was further resolved that members of the As sociation must be between the ages of 20 and 40, and must have lived in the colonies 10 years or be a native of New Zealand ; provided always that members under 19 years of age might be elected on the re commendation of the Committee of Manage ment.

The following Committee was appointed to draft a constitution, rules, enroll mem bers, and call a meeting within seven days to consider the same :—Messrs McManus, F. W 7. Luhning, John Lindsay, Eric Hud son, and Mr Connell, with power to add to their number.

The usual vote of thanks concluded the meeting.

PUBLIC ADDRESS IF THE CITY HALL.

Mr J. A. Connell Advocates Home

Knlc

Mb J. Aitkex Coknell delivered on Mon day night in the City Hall the third of his series of Monday evening political addresses, the subject being "Home Rulo for Ireland." The large building was crowded to excess.

Mr Thos. H. White (District President of the H.A.C.8.5.) was proposed as Chair man, but a section of the audience clamoured for the irrepressible Hodge. Upon a show of hands being taken, how ever, Mr White was declared to be elected.

Mr Connell, who was received with cheers, explained that his original intention was that the meeting should consist solely of Irishmen, and he felt assured that trom an audience of Irishmen he would receive that fair play which he had not hitherto been given in Auckland. (Cheers and hisses.) There was in the Irish character so much that was akin to his own Scotch character that in the face of the world he declared that he loved Irishmen. They manifested an enthusiasm, and a love of justice and fair play and right dealing, which were very much akin to the greatest, traits in tjio Scotch character. (Cheers.) And in his connection he wished his .audience to remember that it was not Scotchmen v.iio had deserted Irishmen upon this Home Rule question. (Applause.) Many people questioned the right of colonials to exercise a voice upon this mat ter, but it was just colonials, who them selves were in the full enjoyment of Home Rule, who hada right and the opportunity to pronounce a well-founded opinion upon the blessings and advantages of Home Rule. (Cheers.) And Ireland looked for and ex pected the support of the colonies on this question. Still it was not to bo a thing to be discussed in colonial Parliaments. We had no right in our Parliaments to mix our selves up with purely imperial questions— with the government of Ireland by England, or indeed with the Government of any other land than our own. But this was the time—in a period when political matters were agitating the minds of the people at large —that the persons who sought their support and confidence should speak out clearly on such an important subject. (Cheers.) And he cherished the hope that his small influence in this far-away part of the world might have some slight effect in bringing about that justice for Ireland which she had so long besought in vain at the hands of England. (Cheers.) Mr Connell then proceeded to explain what is meant by force, both physical and moral. Tremendous as mate rial force was, it was transcended by moral force—the force that animated millions to the achievement of some grand purpose, or that influenced the individual man to resist all earthly agencies for the coercion of his will. We were not to take the people who indulged in outrage and dynamite as the stimulating force which moved Ireland on the Home Rule question. As well might we take the larrikins of Auckland as fair types of the population. Like them, the dynamitards were but the pimples on the face of society, and were not representative of the great heart-blood of the nation. (Loud cheers.) Mr Con nell then proceeded to give a brief sketch of Irish history from the time of the Union onwards. He showed that Grattan's Parliament of 1782 was a venal Parliament, because, from the fact that it was co-equal and co-ordinate with the English Parlia ment, the Executive Government of the day found the administration of affairs impossible unless it had the Irish Parlia ment in its power, and that it achieved by bribery and corruption. So patriotic an Irishman had declared that he had never seen such a set of scoundrels as those who sat in the Parliament at Dublin. When the Union was effected Pitt earnestly desired to fulfil his promises to Ireland, but the Tories prevented him from doing so. From that time onward the Great Liberal Party of England was always anxious to do justice to Ireland, but the justice was invariably delayed by the Tories until, when it was at length extorted in any shape, Irishmen had ceased to care much about it. He greatly f.—■■] that this would be the case v'-i . dome Rule. Mr Gladstone was tue greatest statesman that England had ever produced (loud cheers), and he had been more suc cessful than any of his predecessors in obtaining justice for Ireland. The crowning triumph of his life was his demand for Home Rule. (Cheers.) And although hitherto thwarted in this great reform, he verily be lieved that within the next two years he would be sent back to power with a major ity large enough to sweep everything before him. (Loud cheers.) The speaker then went on to sketch the salient pro visions of Mr Gladstone's Home Rule Bill. It reserved to the Imperial Parliament all such questions as the succession to and prerogatives of the throne, army and navy, [foreign affairs, war, coinage, trade and navigation, copy right, census and quarantine laws, weights and measures, and fiscal unity. Ireland was left to deal with her own domestic legislation. But this was nob enough. Ireland should have the full control of her own tiscal affairs. (Cheers.) If England at tempted to interfere with our fiscal affairs we would take up the sword and make a de termined stand against her. (Loud cheers.) She tried it on with America last century, and the result was that she lost America. It was quite right that the bill should pro vide against the endowment of any parti cular religion in Ireland (cheers), but Ire land clearly should have the control of her own taxation. This was the deiiciency in the bill, and he attached the greater importance to it as the Irish people had professed their willingness to accept it as a final settlement of the question of Home Rule. England was practically taking advantage of Ireland's weakness and her desire for Home Rule in thus withholding the great right of fiscal control (cheers), the right of dealing with her own Customs and Excise. Such a thing would not be tolerated in any of the colonies. (Cheers.) Mr Con nell eloquently maintained that the grant iog.of such full rights of self-government as he advocated-would no more tend to sever Ireland from' England or to weaken the

endurino attachment of Irishmen to the Empire than it had done m the colonies. The tendency would be quite in the opposite direction. (Cheers.) Had England ever found nobler or better men to serve her interests than Irishmen? Had she ever had a greater states man than Burke? Never. (Cheers.) Had she ever found a greater soldier than the Duke of Wellington ? Never. (Cheers.) All the wrong England had heaped upon Ireland had been powerless to alienate the hearts of Irishmen from the cause of England. (Hear, hear.) He detested the prejudice, ignorance and superstition that was being shown over this question of Home Bule. Englishmen and Irishmen alike must make up their minds for Home Rule, for it was just, and it must be conceded, and Home Rule Ire land should have in the name of God. Mr Connell resumed his seat amid loud and prolonged cheering. On the motion of Mr H. Mcllhone, se conded by Mr Lawler, a vote of thanks was accorded to Mr Connell.

The assemblage dispersed after giving three cheers for Mr Connell.

CONCERT.

A very enjoyable concert was given in St' James's Hall last evening, in aid of the funds of the Boresford - street Congrega tional Church. There was a large attend ance. The concert was under the conduc torship of Herr Tutschka, and the overture " Nebucodonosor" (Verdi) was well exe cuted, the piano accompaniment being played by Mxfcs C. Wright, and the violin and 'cello by the Misses Chew. Mr J. Knox appeared to advantage in "The Slave's Dream," and Herr Tutschka followed with a violin solo, Krai's " Taran tella," which was skilfully executed and provoked loud applause. An encore was duly responded to. Mrs W. Eady sang " Tho Angel's Serenade " with violin obli gato by Miss Chew, and was deservedly ap plauded. Miss C. Wright contributed the pianoforte solo Mendelssohn's " Spring Song," which was very creditably rendered, and the Misses Chew gave an instrumen tal trio, two fragments from " Rosamunde." The Misses Chew played the first and second violins and 'cello, MissC. Wright the piano, and Herr Tutschka -the bass viol, and the effect was very pleasing indeed. Mr J. Hooton opened the second half of the pro gramme with a piano solo, " Sonata Pastor ale " (Beethoven), which was executed with taste and finish, and Mr Holloway rendered " The Bedouin's Love Song." The violin solo, " Les Yeux Bleus," by Miss Ottie Chew, waa a very attractive item. Mi-s. Bartlett gaVe " When the Tide Comes In," and after a prmsr by Mr Hunter the orches tra played thewaliy. " Paiie.uce.'' The enn oei-t concluded with the National Anthem.

CORRESPONDENCE.

The Eden Election.

(To the Editor.)

Sir,—As I find that attempts are being made to prejudice me in the minds of Eden electors by representing me as a Southern man, likely if returned to Parliament rather to study the Otago interests than those of the people whom I desire here to represent, I beg to subjoin the following correspond ence, which will show exactly the posi tion I occupy with regard to the proposals which I have re ceived from the South that I should con sent to bo nominated for an Otago con stituency. Whilst at first disposed to allow myself to be nominated for Dunstan in view of certain contingencies, my letter of July 28 to Mr McFarlane contains my final decision-1 stick to Auckland whether ehe will have me or not.

I may say that I have entirely abandoned the idea, which at one time I entertained, of possibly contesting Auckland Central with Sir George Grey.—Yours, etc., J. Aitken Cornell.

" Tapanui, 22nd July, 1887. "J. Aitken Connell, Auckland,—

" Would you contest Dunstan ? Get you good requisition if favourable.' " J. McFarlane."

"Fort-street, Auckland, July 28, 1887.

" Johk MoFaklane, Esq., Tapanui.

" Dear Sir. -After most careful con sideration of the matter. I beg to say that I have finally come to the conclusion that unless I can obtain a seat for an Auckland constituency I will nob consent to sit for any other. "I need scarcely say that the proof I have received of the kindly feeling by which I am still remembered by the Otago settlers in hearing of the desire of the Dunstan electors that I should agree to be nominated for their district is very gratifying to me, and when I first heard of it through your letter and telegram I felt inclined to respond to your friendly overture provided the events happened which I refer to in my telegram. "On careful and further consideration, however, I feel that by so doing I should place both myself and the Dunstan electors in a false position. "My full purpose and intention is to remain in Auckland for the rest of my life, and I cannot help feeling that to obtain the confidence and support of the people among whom I have cast my lot is my proper work. I feel that I must do this, or make up my mind to fail altogether. '' Whilst I shall always cherish the warmest feelings for Otago and Otago folks, my idea of the relations which should obtain between a member and his constituency involve necessarily frequent personal inter course, and unless the electors are accus tomed to see the face of their member fre quently among them, I feel that there is something out of joint. " Having thus, as I have said, cast in my lot with Auckland, I intend to identify my self with Auckland, and if Auckland will not have me my services, such as they are, poor indeed, probably, at best, must be lost to the colony.

" This decision gives mo one unmitigated source of satisfaction—l shall not be com pelled to oppose my old friend Mr Pyke. '' Please convey to the gentlemen inter esting themselves about the requisition, and to the elec'ors, my deep sense of the obligation under which they have placed me.

" Yours faithfully, "J. Aitken Connell."

" Tapanui, 26th July, 1887. " To J. A. Connell, Esq., Auckland.

" Dear Sir, — Your delayed telegram ar rived here on Saturday night. " The general opinion is that if you were declared for Dunstau at once you would have almost a block vote hereabouts. . . .

So that it will be known all over the elec torate this week (and your ears ought to tingle). " The feeling here about you is that though we do not know all your views, yet we know that you will go straight for what you know you believe to be right, and if you could see your way to come here, and go over the district while the heat is on, it would be yours I fully believe I hope you will see your way to comply with our ideas.

" Yours very truly, "John McFaklane."
