times England's cOntiScatlOn edcts have
thundered upon her peope-seven centu~
ries Of continued injustice, outrage, mur>
der yet Ireland lives again in the I50.-
900 Irish soldiers in the American amy
(cheers). The Sixty,ninth still cheers for
Corcoran. The Chicago Montgomery
Guard still cheers for Illinois and the
West as they fc ught at Lexington Shields
was backed by Irish at Winchester; and
the Irish Brigade at Fair Oaks stopped the
rebels in their advance The Massachu-
sets Ninth, and the PENNSYLVANIA Sixty
ninth we're Irish regiments loud cheers
All hail, then, Irishmen, as you live your
lives over again in the army Of the Consti
tuition loud cheers Our army is your
army. Let Catholic and Protestant COM
bine for Union. We do not inquire, when
the 1rishman volunteers, whether he be
Protestant or Catholic cheers,
Unite, and by the famine graves,
By your sircs' sacred dust,
You shall not, will not long be slaves
You'll break your chains accursed.
The tyrant Saxon soon shall quake,
At banded millions might
The time is nigh--arouse awake -
For Ircland's sake untel
loud cheers
England's downfall commences when
America closes up the ranks, and peace
cements Union and perpetuates Republics
and universal suffrage-when crank is but
the guinea stamp" and Z" a mans a man
for "a that" These cries must shortly
come into fashion: Canada for the Cana
dams, Australia for the Australians, and
Ireland for lrishmen loud cheers What
distracts your country? Shall tell you
[YesI. Well, then, it is firebrand that
England knows how to use-a tirebrand
thrown into your ranks whenever YOU talk
Of nationality. Name That frebrand
is religion hear, and cheers] Now, my
idea is that so long rs you permit this
bone of contention to distract your coun-
ellis, so long YOU will remain in slavery,
and be what O'Conneli told the Parlia-
ment-alen in manners, alien in language,
alien in religion, and alien in the very
land that once belonged to Irshmen loud
cheers + Wherever YOU speak of unity
of natlonaIity-you must omit that word
religion. Drop that, aud Catholic and
Protestant will join hands, and Ireland will
be a Queen among the nations Of the world
icAeeEs
When will you cease this useless strife,
The scourgc of InnIsfail
Base bigotry and party strife
The Gael 'gainst brother Gael
O! once your country nobly join
Together in your might;
Forget old Limerick and the BOyne-
For Ireland's sake, unite!
[Cheersl
Mark well the eloquent words of Arch
bishop Hughes a! Dublin. He said he
had seen three great things in the world
tile Falls IF Niagara, St. Peters at
Rome, and that glorious demonstration Of
Irishmeu at Dublin, on the laying OF the
foundation Of the Catholic Uniyersity.-
lie says the Irish soldiers are only drilling
in America, and that they do not intend
to lay down their beIts-Lapplausel and
| do not hesitate to say that if England
inter ieres in our domestic matters, that
glorious rebel of As, Thomas Francis
Meagher, will be back again in Dublin,
with a body guard OF ten thousand veteran
Irish soldiers from the battle fields of Rich
mond. Here the whole audience rose to
their feet, and the hall re5ounded with
cheers for Shields, Meagher and Irish Ma
tionality.
EngIands decline and fall must De near
at hand. Mark the strange scene in the
House Of Commons. The Lords and mer-
chants hurry up from the country to pass
the Game Bill, for fear that some poor
Lancashire wre;che5 may pick up a hare
or pheasant on the Queens highway to
keep their wives and little ones from starv-
ing (shame). Notice the cry of woman
hood and manhood from the factories.-
Why is it that, after years of prosperity
and plenty Of cotton, the operatives have
nothing laid up for rainy day Can it
be possible that the workmen Of England
work at starvation prices, in order TO make
fortunes for the land owners, the mill own
ers, and the bankers?
There are $4,000 operatives in the .,
500 cotton mills Of England, and they re
ceive but los. Cd per week, or Is. Cd. per
day, out Of which they have to pay taxes
and lire. II IS too erpensipe IN England
