l.. IL. 0 Counor, District Head Center Of
Chicago, has written very strong letter IN
regard to the political policy of tho Fenan
Brotherhood. ITe says;
| As to the line of policy adopted
/ by the +. b., is there ANYTHING wrong in
this, the nineteenth century, for tho Irish
national organization in existence to declare
! that hencclorih they and the Irish people
| (whom they have right TO sneak (orl are
i'll favor OF uuivorsal liberty that they are
| willing to give to others what they claim
| for their own people Why, sic, this has
! been the doctrine OF every martyr to Irish
! liberty; the doctrine of Burke, Graltan,
Shiel, Sheridan, O'Connvll, aud every Irish
statesman from the days OF Swongbow down
10 the p eSent iima; the doctrine of Corro-
Ian, Moore, Davis aud tho gentle Griffin.
and every poet whose name has been iden
tilted with the songs aYd poetry of the Greon
Isle; the doctrine of the people Of every age
in ireland the doctrine of the emigrant
when lie bids farewell TO all that is dear to
him on earth aud steps aboard of the emi.
grant ship that brings him to the aad Of
his adoption. There is not u people on this
earth that loves liberty aud hates tyranny
with such intensity as the Irish people,
| And yet we are accused OF selling our
" Irish. Am lrican" friends, becauso we have
the honesty, in this age of enlightenment.
to adapt for our people a platform of equal
rights to all nlhkind because we have the
honesty to give to others what we claim
for ourselves because we have cut our
selves loose FROM al party ties, SO that in
the future, we can vote tor the mon who
will heGriend us
now THE COPPEsHEAD5 HAVE GUILED THE
| IRISH.
To show how the Irish peopl1 have been
gulled by the de(uuct Democratic party,
vii. again refer to the emigrant who lands
upon our shores with an eternal hatred to
tyranny and oppression in every shape
and form. lie is told by the self.conslluteC
political hacks of his race that he mus
stille his love of liberty and shake hand,
with the friends of slavocracy that here
great party rules the nation-a party tina
loves tho smiling faces of the sons and
daughters of Erin; aud that, in order to be
a freeman, he must ally himself with thi,
party. And, in his simplicity, he believe,
it, and forthwith his application for citizen
ship is recorded. He settles down among
his friends attends the political gather
ugs of the party to which he has attached
himself. lie enters spacious hall and
hears q hloated ollicer-seeker harauguine
the faithful. The policy Of the Republicans
and all the isms of the day are denounced
as momstrous. The Irish are laudsd foi
their fidelity to tho party. The emgrau
is pleased and swears to be true to the par
ty. lie goss home to his wife aud it'll
once, and lis t EN- what good man tina
was, and what he woul do for the Irish
&c All this the poor dupes swallow. The
day of nomination comes Three OF four o
the pillars meet in back room and make
up the ticket for the coming election. On,
timid individual suggests prominent pac,
on the ticket for the lrish. lie is met viii
a scofnful look from pillar No. l. "No,'
says he, g 70 he'll with the Irish they wi
vote the ticket any way. We viii give
this Office to a German this to u Know
Nothing this to a wavering Republican
this to another Gcrmon this to another
Know Nothing" and so on until they get t.
the tail end, when some hungry Irishman j,
presented with an Office that costs him for
tune to acquire. The honest Irish vote
= cannot see why the Irish are not bet o.
represented Oh the ticket, but he is told i
is impertinept in him to make such in
quires. Thus the farce is played yea
after year. Thus the Irish people are in
suited by their professed friends. Blu
there is an end to all this, withstandinl
the efforts of the Chicago Times and il
correspondents. Indeed, tho Times goes 81
far as to say that those who will not vott
,4fhe ticket are traitors to their country
Ftheir race, their religion and themselves
7 | deny that the Times is an impartial Judg,
upon the three first counts of these charges
for it is well known that the responsible
editor of that sheet has spent the create
part of life denouncing his country, Iii
, race, and the religious opinions of othe
men. AS for the last count in the indict
ment, | will admit he is true to himself &c
i it is currently reported he looks out 70
No. l. @ f-H1r
Now, in order that the public may know
t who the real enemies OF the Fenian Broth
erhood and the Irish people are, viii her
state that such sheets as the Chicago Time
aud the parties who indorse their teaching,
are, and have been, tho bitterest enelnie
of lne Fenian Brotherhood
