with red blood 10 them, aud something re-
sembling soul, by the grace Of the devil
and the ndvice Of their pastors, bid farewell
to the Gun, and committed suicide; no more
Of that gentle Flaw" which like death, lev
els all distinctions, and places high soul
ed patriot in the same filthy cell witha COM
mon burglar aud swindling jew; no
more Of the licensed scoundreIism Of pom.
pous which the other dny con.
signed one Of our bcs, friends to a felon's
prison. for walking through the streets Of
Dublin with his friends; no more Of that
accused ''.ockery, called government
which has trnmplcd into s,erilty every
good seed Of truth, and honor, and courage,
which the just God had planted In this land,
and lei. il wihou, trli. and vegdure. Away.
away, with all this "spccous cry Of fraud
with English rule and English robbery.
Down to their nntive hell with nristocra,ic
pIunderers and vicercgal grecn-croppcrs.--
Their hours IRE come. With the keen steel
which will rcdden in the blood Of the first
foreign butcher, we will write Fins in the
book Of British crime, and the title pngc
Of Ireland's new history.
The people ofthis land have been dream
ing mn uneasy dream. The nightmare vnn-
ishes ut Inst, and the blood-strenm circulates
in the country once more. They can stir
their arms and use their strength agnin.--
A voicc was heard, CRYING in this wilder.
mess, and il has reused them to sense md
volition. A glorious fiat WIS re-echoed from
one end IF the isle to the other, and the
clouds rolled of from our horizon, and the
blue sky looked forth on us, and blessed u.s.
A revelation came unto the people, nnd
they felt that thew had only to snv. "we
shall do such thing" md il was dome
they felt ut last, the everlasting truth fash.
ing in on their benighted souls, thnt a peo.
pies will, md Omnipotence-as far az re-.
CARDS catih-are synonymous.
Let them como forth, then. in the SUN
light, and take the rights which have been
withheld from them so-yes! take them
for they hive only to stretch forth their
hands. and they will soon grasp the treas
IRE which they desire. Paris willed that
il should he free, and Louis Philippe pnck.
cd up his things pu, bis umbrella under his
arm, and. renewing his youth-cagIe like
went forth n.tYaveIIing. Sicily wiIled that
the Union act-which sucked ont its life
blood-shonld be repealed, and the first
sword that clis'encd in the patriots hand,
cut the parchment link that bound il 10 q
foreign country Milnn-but why multi
ply instances? Is it not plain AZ that God
liveih. TINT we hive bn, 10 ask and we shall
receive. if we ask in tho commanding tones

Come forward, then, ye suffering poor.
md prove to your Oppressors that Won nrc
men and not dogs. From the fields where
YOU toll in the heat Of summer md fro.ls of
winter, coaxing out Of the heart Of the
earth those hidden riches which minis.
ter to your tyrnnt's lnxury-from the filth,
lnnes where YOU cover in rags. and wet.
md misery, hiding your shame from the
eyes Of your fellow.men, md gnawing (,ou
hive done III! through the flesh Of ,our
own children, TO fan the Pickering flame of
life within yOu-from tho underground
celnrs. where some of YOU, endowed with
high aspirations aud sunny genius, grovel
worfnlike, in cold and nastincss, cnrsinC
the rule which has gra. nd YOU down to
dust, and ex,ingush lie heavenly Iich,
within you. from the haunts Of crime, where
with breaking heart, you sell the beauty
which WINS intended to adorn the homes af
virtue. Tint the hunger fiend hch is prey
ing on your cn.raiIs mny be sntisficd-
come forth, come forth, ye poor. You wear
the gnrb Of humanity, you have the M.
pea.nnce Of men. lie. the garb have some.
thing within: let the appearance be reality.
You were mnde TO Gods likeness. Premiefs
and nrstocrats may deny it-but the Man.
God who died tor you has said So. Blood
circulntes in Your veins, too. You have
rights 10 demand and wrongs to nvenye.-
You have as rich fluid within your hcavts
ns the ,yrants who tramp on you. You are
like them in physical formation. II they
prick you, do you not bleed: II they poi
son You do you not die? You are stronger
than they are. They are few and sou are
mnny. Up, then, grnppel with them, and
try fall or two. II is only when YOU
hive your hands round their waists TINT
you can truly estimate their strength or
weakness.
