foe The Brotherhood Of ST. Patrick, in
London Mr.. TRAIN vas expected here
by the end OF this month; bat ii is said
that, just before the sailing Of the steam
er, lie was arrested IN consequence Of the
delivery Of this speech
Mr.. Chairman and Trishmen Of the
brotherhood of St. Patrick speak to
YOU in the nam=s Of one hundred and fifty
thousand Of vonr countrymen, who are
now my countrymen as well, who are
fighting the battle of your people as well
as my people (cheers)-the great battle
OF humanity in that highly favored land,
where ibert, means the common rights OF
human nature, and where human beings
are treated like men. In the nan of the
Irish army of the West, | ask you to
cheer for the Union of America and the
lisunion Of Ireland from Great Britain
Cloud cheers Those cheers foreshalow
already the DOWNFALL OF EHGLAND (hear.)
EngIishnen ale so busy plotting the ruin
of America predicting the death knell OF
the nation and praying for the downfall
of America, :here can be no objection TO
my changing the topic, and speaking TO an
Irish audience on The DOWNFALL OF Eng
LAND (cheers) England is supposed to
be a GibraItar-a rock of strength, so
grand, SO powerful so rich, that anything
[ might say would fail to penetrate her
iron armor of agotism, and copper sheath
ing of assumption (aughter.) IsPeak for
the people. The aristocracy have all the
lawyers to speak for them (aughter.) =
Some day men will be considered men,
and the simple annals of the poor" will
be heard in Heaven
Shall crime bring crime for ever,
Strength aiding still the strong?
Is il thy will, oh Father,
That man shall toll for wrong?
No. say thy mountains, No! thy skies;
Mans clouded sun shall brightly rise,
And songs be heard insteBd of signs,
God save the people!
(Cheers) When I aIlude to the downfall
of England, | mean the uprising OF the
peopIe-when men shall have votes, and
not be called the mob. The 1merica1.
rebellion IS the yorla'S rebellion, and the
life Of America is the death of England
British statesmen have acted on that hv-
polhesis. America will hive, England will
die-such is the law of nations. Pros
peritv, then adversely. The antithesis
follows everywhere in nature, right, left,
W, down-abuse a man, then praise him
strong, weak, young, old. When a
man is very III, he must get better or die
The runner st the top Of his speed must
slacken or fall. So the nation that has
mounted the last round of the ladder must
drop or descend step by step. America is
going up. England coming down. The
downfall Of England commenced the mo
ment the governing classes laid their plans
for sapping away the liberties Of the PEG
pie. TAxATIoN WITHOUT REPRESENTATION

All drop the trcacherous mask throw by
The cloak which vailed thine instincts fell
Stand forth thou base, incarnate Lie,
Stamped with the signet brar of Hell
AT last we view thee as thou art
A trickster = it'll a demons heart.

The dwarfed tree OF .he Asiatic was made
