TO THE FRIENDS OF IRELAND IL TIE CITY AND
COUNTY OF HILADELpHiA
Authentic information of great value has come 10 the
possession of the Executive Committee, which strongly
urges them call upon the friends of Ireland and OF
Human Liberty in the City and County Of Philadelphia
for the most immediate and efficient action The last
steamer the Europa brought intelligence 20 this coun-
try that the people of ireland had constructed their
fret barricade at Waterford. BY the same source OF
intelligence sdyices Of the most direct and authentic
character have 10 us, which leave no doubt as TO
the fact that the Irish people a. our American iathers
did in the solemn and agating time Of their great Rev
olution throwing themselves upon the assistance Of
God and good cause-haNe determined 20 resist the
wanOn, unmsny. and cruel aggressions OF the British
Government on their rights, liberties and happiness.
The British arsiOcracy have sent armies 10 Ireland %
suppress the loud voice OF public opinion raised against
the horrible and atrOcious wrongs inflicted without
mercy or justice, on the people They have instituted
censorship the Press which actually abolishes
freedom of speech. They have made new crimes in
ireland by special legislation against liberty and no
mans personal security who pretends 70 free speech,
is safe. They have seized men for speaking the truth,
and have brought them mock trials with scarcely
aectaton of the forms Of legal constitutional justice
and have sent them elon cells and penal colonies
They have virtually sbrogaiec the trial by Jury. All
this has been done maintain system of government
false, incompetent, except for evil and mischief and
perncous in the extreme 20 good mora By which Ire
land continually plundcrcd Of her wealth periodical
IL decimaicd by famine and disease, and always OPP
pressed and trampled under foot
Therefore the Irish people having no hope except in
Heavens mercy-goadcd beyond human endurance
with the issue at last forced deliberately upon them by
the Government Of humiliation regards their civil
rights of resistance unto death with arms in their
hands-are about 10 unsheath the sword, which when
II strikes for Liberty, becomes consecrated
Now American ciuzens-friends OF unhappy but re-
generate richardson's OF Libery--we cast ourselves

strictly informed that what done for this in the
United states De strictly available must be effected

but much can and doubtless VIII be done. Give u.

We would have you b do nothing % violate the law:
/ OF the land God forbid. We are each and All OF us
