people recognize, acknowledge, main
tain. and will continually preserve and
uphold upon the throne Of lrel nds her
majesty Queen Victoria (whom God pro
,tect) Green by~undou5>sd right, and by
hereditary descent, Of Ireland, and her

pie Of Ireland recognise, acknowledge,

ebelongng 10 and inherent in, the impere'
rial Crown Of Ireland; and they will truly
allegiance bear, pure, undivided, aud in
diVisible to her Msiesiy, her heirs and

8. The people of Ireland do firmly
insist upon the restoration of the Irish
House Of Commons, consisting Of 300
representatives Of the Irish people; aud
claim in the presence oftheir Creator the
right Of the people Of ireland TO such re-
storation. They have submitted to the Un
ion as being binding by law; but they de-
clare solemnly that it Is not founded on
right, or on constitutional principle, and
a that il is not obligatory upon conscience.
They agree with the Tory Attorney Gen
eral Saurin that the only binding power
oftheUnion is the strength Of English
domination. They also agree with him
that resistance to the Union is in the alb.
stract duty, and the exhibition of that
resistance a mere question Of prudence.

all legal. peaceful and constitutional
means.
