in Jbczv- York.
UNION or IRELAND WITH FNCLAND,
IRISHMEN WITH IRISHMEN
After so mam* ages of civil war and car
nage, how lovely to the ear sounds the hallow
ed name ofUNion ; but not that union which !
Ijjnds die slave to his master, the ufFeer to
his tormchtor, the wretch to his oppressor.
Not that union formed bv a parliament, the
scourge and execration of their own country ; I
the scorn and derision of the minister who
bought them like slaves, and sneeringly pre
tend to have bought their country with them.
Not that union made by those “ lives and for
tune'* mm," who had pledged themielves
sq sacredly to God and to their country, by
teats, resolutions and oaths, to resist every
innovation whatsoever in the constitution of
their country, and with those declarations,
in their mouths, had ruthlessly dragged their
tcKured countrymen to the scaffold and the
gibbet.
Think it not, then, Englishmen, that he- j
cause our dwellings are consumed by fire, and i
our bodies lacerated with instruments of tor
ture, that we are therefore united to you.
It is not because we have been in the damp 1
and cheerless abvsses of the vaulted durige- ,
ons, or worn out joyless scasoncin the filthy
holds of prison-ships and tenders, that wc are
united to you.
It is not because insult and ignominy hare
defiled the purity of our habitations, and that
scarcely a virtuous family but has its belov
ed victim to deplore, that wc should be united
to vou.
It is not because you have corrupted our
parliament,* bribed our aristocracy, and
dragooned our people, that we arc mated to
you.
ij> uui uwiufc ywu laviiiiuu uic crra
sums, mercilessly wrung from the hand* of
suffering wretchedness, with wanton prodi
gality upon p aiders. hangmen and informers,
that we are united to you.
It is not because vou have trafficked with the
word of God, and treacherously inflamed the
ign rar.t to bigotry, and thebigottn atrocity :
seeking to excite amongst us every unkind
and wicked passion cf tlie soul, that we arc
now united to you.
It is not because stifling inquiry, refusing
ev idence. you mock us with the ghostly f rms
of murder' d law. and massacre us in defi
ance of its very forms, that we arc united to
you.
It is not because usurping every organ of
the public voice, you have, through a host of
hirelings, filled the universe with injurious »*i -
bald’-y, covering vour own enmities and faith
breakings with the villain's argument of Ne
cessity, or the prostituted name cf Justice,
that *ye are united to you.
It is not because, like the devoted victims
of auto r fr, you have blackened and disfi
gured us lest sympathy or compassion should
any where console us ; exaggerated whate
ever vices we may have, and which we owe
al< nc to y nr corrupting influence, and ccof
fed nt the virtues that adorn us, that we ate
uiiited to you.
It is not because every man, most honored
and beloved among us, has been rained and
immolated ; and every one most odious a
mong us, raised to power aud office, that we
are united to you.
flelirve me those arts, but too successful
heretofore, -will n 't long suffice. The blight
ing shade which von had castuponus, is hour
ly dissipating. The manifest conviction of
crimes, at which human nature shudders,
hangs over your own heads ! You arc not
now at war with us alone, but with the uni
verse. Our cause already brightens through
the clouds of calumny and terror. The vir
tuous end the generous of your own country
are daily undeceived, and will, with cordiali
ty, atone for the wrongs they have often ig
norantly, and innocently done us. Foreign
nations have felt the perfidy of your alliance ;
the impotence of your protection—the sting
of your pride 1 Amongst, them already decs
\ur suffering cause find flvor ! And though
«v cdo not lift a hand against you, the work
ings of humanity, no longer biassed nor per
verted, will succour the unfortunate ; and
the moral force of opinion, stronger than
hosts in armor, will mine yc ir cruel empire,
andpaJty your misused power. Those of us,
who, fib gan ycur favor, have betrayed their
country, will siqk into contempt with the
w rV. with vrw m »l
The trappings and mock honors with which
you bad e inve-ted them, like splendid live
ries, wdilmark their sei-vilc state: nor shall
the wages cf their iniquities protect them
from due infamy. In vein, then, will you call
those, dear to the cause of virtue, and hon
ored in their country, traitors ! An impart i
fl’ generation will wc:gh us against each
other. You will be no longerdurjudges and
eccurers. Stripped of those casual henors
and ill-earned distinctions which had been
ours, had we not scorned to win them by cor
juption, we shall be measured with one mea
sure. Then will it be Veen who*e stature and
jpropcrthirB are most goodly—whole morals
are most pure--whose reason m ost enlighten
etl—whose courage rttest true. If you be
found then to cxceil ns, it will be in vice, and
not in virtue—in meanness, not in dimity..
And no longer will the love o'country, which
in all climes and ages lias been honored as
the fii*st of virtues, be held a crime in Irish
men alone.
The time may come, 5c may be nerrathand,
Vhvn you may find it necessary once, again
to call on ft.s to take up arms and fight \our
Lattice.
Fcrwhom, for What should Irishmen now
flght? Why should the fallen he proud?
Why should the > lave be loftier that) his
stale ? Agiimt whom should he shake his
chains but hiru who hung them on him ! Go
vr n w!m war the spoils, light for your bcoty '
II ’. is the lawful prize to aim that wins the
battle.
Who in an cr.err.v to Irishmen? A G rant
and a despet. /» it indeed » If so, we have,
not for to seek onr enemy.
Who made the mighty despot? It whs
Voti, di H ministers. You strewed his paths
v'uh flowers, tendered the ladder to his young
ambition' and were his humble frets tools!
IIc if. itv>9t mighty in pour littleness. Me h id
o;ic enemy, and only one, that could withstand
him. Thift one y.ni murdered. It was Li
BRtTT ?
»ou scorned hr.r id'lanee. You frl»h‘ed
her from off the vt ry e *vth. Yonr p««Uknti
•1 bn ath e mpoisoned her. You croffed and
ra'.led at her so Wondrous wittily, that though
yo idicd for it, you C' uid not win her hark 10
5,ai.i. But when you saw your enemy on hi^h,
and :ea ed in the throne of mortal glory, and
all the t 01 Ti-«e cry —“ hail jfrrat C.t\vr /”
/nis/e.l and ttupil.cd at yr.ur own foily but

to Cure your mischiefs by i)(fw(< imcs. Must J
"e tnorhure in your'inglorious warfare, /n-j
fmial n.achination*, ami your filvta ? Must j
'•'•e, who would not take your ignominious
lives by u due means, become assassins to do
Vou service? Must wc now war against the
Harmless Dane ? Must wc bring fire and
sword into that new and happy country j
where ail, all our hopes and half our kindred)
dwell ?
Are there no other kings to coalesce with ?
Have you then ruined all ? Why then stuud *
forth nud light your battles singly, and iet the '
Irish rest in sullen peace? If liberty be tru- I
ly such «jest us you have taught the world [
to think, it is—if it be odious, felony and trea- j
son, why would you bid us now to tight for ;
liberty? If wc must serve a despot, let >t !
be a splendid one, and we shall be less galled. !
The wneuthecl bondsman cancot loose by
charging. To him the mightiest master is
the best. If we must be humbled, it is bet
ter still to fall before the lion than the
wolf. Who is now the wolf! The crudest.
Who is now the lion? The mightiest. You
arc no longer now the //on, but the vnf.
But Irishmen are generous, brave and loy
al*—They will forgive their wrongs, forget
their insults, and march against the invader.
Be it so. But who is this invader! Comes
he with racks & scourges, to scatter reeking
gibbets through our land; to pike our heads
an monuments of scorn ? Comes lie with full
battalions of in former a ! Does he invite
men to lav down their arms, and then break
faith with them, and murder them? Will
he deflower our wives, and burn our houses ?
Beware, that we mistake not friend for foe.
But no1 we know him by his warlike stand
ards. He bears the picket, pi'ch-cup, and
the fire-brand, His music is, the cry rf wo
meu's grief—that's our invader—that our
mortal enemy—look to him well—he’ll rob
us rf our LIBERTY.
But, e’er wc light, go, call at Edward’s
tomb*—cry in his cars—bid who sleeps to
wake—bid him rise and hght h>s enemies._
Brave as the lion—gentler than the lamb_
the sparklingjewel of an ancient house—the
noblest blood of any in our land, and nobler
than your king's, ran through his veins. He
hears you not—he sleeps to wake no more (
Of all his country, and of all he owned, there
vests no more to him than the cold grve he
'lies in !
L Oh ' galbnt, gallant Edward! fallen in
i the flower of youth, and pride of manly beau
tv ; had you lived to see your country free,
the proudest conqueror that t. ears a sivord,
dared nr>t invade it.
Go call his children, by their noble sire, to
come and fight the battles of their country !
’ They have no father, for > ou murdered him !
They have no country, but the green sod that
rests upon his grave ! You robbed their guilt
less infancy—tainted their innocent blood_
plundered their harmless cradles'!
Go then to Crosby’s tomb!+ His onlv crime
was, that he was beloved—Call Coldclough,
Esmond, Grogan, Harvey; still nobler in their
virtues than in their station, and their anci
ent heritage.
Call whole devoted families, whom you
have swept from ojf the surface of their na
tive soil ;—they cannot fail but rise and stand
for you.
'-ail those two brothers, whose hearts in life
were joined—in death united—hung on one
gibbet—beheaded with one axe—Bid the two
bheares’s rise and tight for you, and die a
gain together, in your country’s cause—they
will befriend you.
There were two brothes Tone3, no ordina
ry souls. Bid them rise too from out their
common grave and fight together for you._
He that first led his country men to union, will
lead them now to victory.
Call on t!ie multitude of reverend men of
all the various sects of Christian faith, whom
you have murdered 1—Call on them by the
sacred office of their priesthood and by that
God, whose holy word they taught—to pray
for you. But if they sleep too sound, or will
not hearken, go to the flocks they led, and
they will follow yoa with many and many a
blessing.
Coll from the earth where Porter’s ashes
lie, the gentle emanations of his genius—the
lucid beams of mild philosophy—you want
such light—they will be very serviceable.
bo to Belfast, r.nd parley with die heads
you there impaled—those silent witnessesof
your humanity, who gave Vo all that looked
askance and teniued upon them, such mov
in'lessons of your mild persuasion, as won
all hearts to love ymi—Those topgueless mon
itors were passing eloquent—bid them speak
for —they will recruit you so'diers and
wi’.lhonoryou, and draw their willing swords
to fight your battlc3.
Call upon Russel, whose once gentle heart
voit turned to desperate madness, and slew
him like a ruffian.
Invoke the croud of brave and gallant vie-,
timsi. Whom “ memonj cannot count, nor
ch'ice sdtct.u%—and you will have an army
strong in numbers—stronger in well-tried
courage, and in uNioy.
But if this cannbt bO, and victory declares
hgainat your ruffian banners, rent mber (>Rn !
He was the first that gave his life to Union—
P.M.MKT the last that sealed it with hisblood.
I heir parting Words may teach vou how to
die! 1
But no, you will not, dare not, die like
them !—You will betray your country first
«» hundred times; and rather than meet death
as men should do, lay at the conqueror’s feet
you" c.’ty’i charters and your monarch’s
crown. 5
