Excerpt from Proceedings of a Meeting of the Friends of Civil Religious Liberty, Residing in the District of Columbia: Assembled at the City Hall in Washington City, on Tuesday Afternoon, the 20th June, 1826; In Pursuance of Public Notice Given in the Newspapers of Washington, Georgetown, and Alexandria A few gentlemen of the District of Columbia, desirous of ascertaining the opinion of their Fellow-citizens as to the propriety of transmitting a consolatory address to the people of Ireland, caused the following notice to be inserted in the public Journals of the District: "The friend of civil and religious liberty, in this District, are requested to meet at the City Hail, in Washington City, on Tuesday, the 20th instant, at 5 o´clock, P. M. to express their sympathy for the people of Ireland, and an earnest desire and hope of a speedy amelioration of their condition." "June 15, 1826." In pursuance of the above notice, at the time appointed, a numerous and respectable assemblage of the Citizens of the District convened at the City Hall, in Washington, which had been politely furnished for the occasion by Roger C. Weightman, Esq. Mayor of the City. At 5 o´clock, P. M. George Washington Parke Custis, Esq. of Arlington, was invited to the chair, and John Boyle, of Washington, appointed Secretary to the meeting. As soon as the meeting was organized, the following letter from the Rev. J. W. Fairclough, of Alexandria, was presented by Mr. Charles Murray, and read from the chair. The sentiments contained in the letter were favourably received by the audience. To the Chairman of the Meeting of the friends of Civil and Religious Liberty, in the City Hall, Washington. Alexandria, June 20th, 1826. Sir: Sorry I am that my manifold occupations prevent me from attending your meeting this evening. I hope the address to the people of Ireland, emanating from the Metropolis of the free United States of America, will be consoling to, will he sympathizing with our suffering brethren in persecuted Erin; will speak in strong, intelligible and dignified terms, becoming the free citizens of a free country, the fellow kindred feelings which glow in the heart of every exile, of every free born American. You cannot express your feelings too strongly. Ireland demands your sympathy. Sympathize then with her, as children who love their parents.
