may be found in the United States peryading tho

dants OF Anglo Saxons, aud that the Independence
OF the United States was achieve principally by the
Anglo Saxons We had then some Irish blood, and
VIC have great deal more now. There is a great
body-grester, perhaps, than any of you here ina

American heart beats in unison with the Irish heart
that they desire to see prosperity and happiness
once more reign over this beautiful island. (Ap-
