LUDLOW STREET JAN, n. Y, June II.
To the Fenisn Brotherhood and Irishmen Of
America:
BRoTHERs AND CoUNTRYMEN: The Irish
people of America are again united in the
cause of Irish independence and universal
freedom. The cheer which arose from the
Irish soldiers at Limestone Ridge, as the
English feet went fleeing before their
avenging steel, has found a responsive echo
in every Irish heart, and made US one in
love, purpose and resolution. We see, after
ages Of your oppression, the unequivoeable
desire for Irish independence blaze forth
anew; and as it sweeps along the cities Of
this vast continent, it gathers pathy
from millions If Irish hearts, and twice five
million friends of freedom and foes of des-
potism. Arise, then, my couatry men; nerve
yourselves for the struggle 50 nobiy cOm-
men0ed cast aside any consideration that
would darken the dawning hope.
Ii your enslaved eountrymen be true to
! liberty, your country, and your God aud
your native land, stand by the cause. Be
| not dismayed by the; obstacles you meet.
You must surmount and you win let COW
ardiee desert and denounce you, What Of
that. The true men are stlil able TO begin,
and the struggle must not be abandoned
| even though our saddles should be compell-
ed through their own zeal 10 abandon the
present campaign. There is no turning
back Tor US, my countIyman; our move
ment must and will advance; retrogressioa
would entail eternal infamy, and bring q
deeper stain Of slavery upon your country
and race, and it is as legitimate for you 10
attack English power in Canada, IS It was
| for England TO attack France or America.
Remember in union there IS strength and
| that union which has been cementsd by the
blood Of our brothers must be eternal, and
let the man be mathematical and banned
who, with lying lip or evil heart, would
