Again in speech at Belfast, on Novembe
Is. lS47. Mr.. Meager said:--
How do you explain this fact. that previous

In the same speech, in rccounting the wrongs
Ireland had endured at the hands of the British
Government. he said:- o

bly, live to sec the day when tho chief product
of Ireland will be cattle, and English and
Scotch the majority of her population. The

This pamphlet, the reading of which cannot
fail t. thrill the warm blood of every true Celt
should be generally circulated. We have but
glanced at its leading points. Let it be placed
in the hands of every man, whether native or
adopted, who prefers American to British inter-
ests, and who wishes the United States to con
