men, Etc.
Folow-countrymen:-I, as an Irishman, and
knowing well the situation of our brothers at
home, do hereby warn you, in the name of our
suffering people, against throwing away your
money on a set OF knavish fellows at Union
Square. Be led no longer by the men who have
deserted the cause of Ireland and allowed all
our noble patriots to be arrested and crammed
into British prisons. My fellow-countrymen,
in the name OF common sense did not these men
get sufficient amount of money TO enable them
to give us their long-promised assistance2 And
yet they never gave in all one hundred rifles;
in fact there was scarcely rife in Ireland,
except q few purchased by the people them
selves, out of the shillings and sixpences sub
scribed by the poor, wretched sixpence.per day
men.
Some of that great mysterious body at Union
Square might be good enough to tell us what
they have done with the twelve pilots that were
sent In the early part of December TO pilot the
imaginary fleet that was to invade our coast.
They will not stand up and tell you, like men,
that they discharged those men, some of whom
had Afterwards, poor fellows to beg their bread
in New York, and had ultimately TO work their
passage home and to other places as best they
could. In the name of common sense, purchase
rifles with your dollars which you are toolishy
giving to this mysterious humbug at Union

session. They are now killing time as to
dupe you more safely. Tread lightly as you
pass, for the naval secretary is preparing a
fleet which is to be piloted by the man in the
moon. Turn your money into rifles, knapsacks,
and other fighting material, and give them to
President Roberts and General Sweeney. Do
that, each and every one OF you, and you Will
soon hear OF an. army in the field, and one OF
the finest and bravest that ever yet went to
battle in any country. Yes, and moving in the
only direction that an army can move to save or
serve our country. | should like to know what
can an unaTmed, undisciplined people do in Ire
land without arms after the suspension of the
hdbedS corpus, sixty thousand soldiers and a
strong military police in every part of the
country.
The time for fighting in Ireland is gone by.
To try it there now would be slaughter and the
eternal ruin OF our race. There are more than
enough of sorrowing women and children there
at the present. My countrymen, be deceived no
longer; give up the idea OF moral logic talk from
John OMahony q Co., tor it will not save you.
He never intended to fight. Get yourselves
together as Irishmen should do in this great
hour of trial. Be laughing-stock no longer.
Assist President Roberts and General Sweeney
to get into the field. Turn your eyes, hearts,
and minds towards them alone. If you do not,
you are only assisting the men who have ruined
the people in poor old Ireland, and would ruin
us here also if thev had the chance, he is still
trying to do so. Good old experienced soldiers,
who came to lay down their lives for ireland,
were lett shirtle:s on the streets OF Dublin in a
that was collected by the Union square faction
for the support of those people? could tell, il
/ chose, but before l say much on this point l
give Mr.. 0'Mahony chance to answer the ques-
ton himself But hail the fleet, the imaginary
fleet Well, suppose it was feet in reality;
what wonderful thing to talk about! But just
look at man. .ot-war lying watching every port
around the coast of Ireland! 1t is the widest
sort of insanity to talk about feet. But they
have not the least notion of such a thing. The
whole secret of his doings of late, and their
future, is wrapped upon one word or two:-
"Give me your money. Buy my bonds" But
if am not very much mistaken, Union Square
will be uninhabited some of these mornings
Assist President Roberts and General Sweeney
with all the powers you can get together
money, arms, and ammuniti0n-at once, if you
feel for your brothers in Pentonville prison
Your only way to obtain satisfaction, hostages
and the redemption of your country, is Canada
first, Ireland afterwards. Ifyou have not sense
enough to see this, you are worthless people
and not deserving of liberty.
