Address to the Irish and their Descendants
in The Uniied States and British Provinces
BY Hibernicus We have been induced to
refer to this pamphlet for the purpose Of no.
ticing the plan uniolded in it for the ameliora-
ton of the distressed Irish. It is that socie-
ties Of 1rshmen and their deccndants aud
others in this country favorable to the cause
should bo formed, for the purpose Of remit
ting money to Ireland to transport to this
country, and other open countries in North
and South America and elsewhere, as many
as possible of the relatives OF the members Of
these societies, and settle them in various
parts, as owners or tenants OF land, according
as arrangements may be made with benevo-
lent land owners. 1t is proposed that such
societies should be formed in every city. town,
village, district and county in the United
States, wherever Irishmen and their friends
exist; that there should be chief societies at
suitable places in each state. and su-
perintending national society. To this end,
it s urged on Irishmen as duty to preserve
among themselves "harmony, imanimi,y and
peace" Such a plan is we'll calculated to
effect the objects in view, and, in other mat
ters, has been found to possess great eficien.
cy. Several orders and societies oxist in
this country with tho same organization car
ried out in detail. Should our Irish friends
be able to effect their objects, there is no
doubt that it will result in benefit to their
countrymen.
