ity; we conjure you, Irishmen and descend
ants OF lrishmen, to abandon forever all de-
tense OF the hideous negro Slavery system.
Let it no more be said that your feelings are
made SO obtuse by the air of America that you
cannot feel as Catholics and Christians ought
to feel this truth-this plain truth-that one
man cannot have any property in another
man. There is not one of you who does not
recognize that principle in his own person.
Yet we perceive-and this agonizes us al
most to madness-that you, boasting an
Irish descent, should, without the instiga-
ton of any pecuniary or interested motive
but out of the sheer and single love of wick
eduess and crime. come forward as the vol
unteer defenders of the most degrading spe-
cies of human slavery. Woe! Woe! Woe!
There is one consolation still amid the pull
sations of our hearts. There are-there must
be genuine Irishmen in America-men of
sound heads and Irish hearts, who will assist
us to wipe off the foul stain that Lord Nor
peth's proven charge has inflicted Oh the Irish
charlottesville will hold out the hand of
fellowship, with heart in that hand, to ev-
erv honest man Of every caste and color
who will sustain the cause Of humanity and
honor, and scorn the paltry advocate Of slave
ry-who will show that the Irish heart is IN
America as benevolent and as replete with
charitable emotions as in any other cline on
the face of the earth.
We conclude The spirit of democratic
liberty is defiled by the continuance Of ne
gro slavery in the United States. The Uni
ted States themselves are degraded below
the most uncivilized nations by the attro-
cious inconsistency of talking of liberty, and
practicing tyranny in its worst shape. The
Americans attempt to palliate their iniquity
by the futile excuse of personal interest; but
the Irish, who have not even that futile ex-
cuse, and yet justify slavery, are utterly in
defensible.
Once again--and for the last time--we
call upon you to come out of the councils Of
the slaveowners, and at all events to free
yourselves from participating in their guilt
Irishmen, call upon you to join in crush
ing slavery, and in giving liberty to every
man of every caste, creed, or color.
Signed by order of DANIEL OCoNNELL,
Chairman of the Committee.

looked better than it does this spring. None
of it killed out and very little damage has
been done by standing water. This crop
will probably be the largest ever raised there.
It is good all through Northern Wisconsin.
The farmers are busily engaged sowing
spring wheat and oats, which it thinks il
will need very favorable season to make a
