To the People OF British America:
We come among you as the foes of British rule in
ireland. Exiled from that ative land of ours by the
oppreSs Of British arstOcracy and legislation our
people hunted down to the emigrant ships or worse
to that charne of Government institutions the poor
house: countrymen torn from their families and
friends and hurled in droves to the prison pens of
England and lreland our country subjected to q for

people and makes misery and poverty the sad rule of
their condition. covering fair land with paupers'
graves and wretched hovels eliciting from the liberal
minds OF England herself expressions of shame for the
Government, and Indignation for the people We
have taken up the sword to strike down the oppres-
sor's rod-to deliver Ireland from the tyrant, the
despoiler, the robber.
We have registered our oaths upon the altar of
our country in tho full view of Heaven apd sent M
Then, looking about Us for the enemy we find him
here here in your midst where he is most vulnerable
and convenient to our strength, and have sworn to
stretch forth the wide hand of Ireland to grappie
with him. The battle has commenced, and we pledge
ourselves to all the sacred memories of struggling
liberty, TO follow 1t up at cost to either of two
alternatives. the absolute political Independence
and liberty Of Ireland Or the demolition of our ar

a solitary right you now enjoyj We will assail and
asperse only the rights that claimed and enjoyed
by the government of Great Britain, the right to
make her American possessions the field and base of
operations IN awar against an enemy.
We come to install ourselves in her possessions and
turn them against her in q war for Irish freedom.
W o are here neither as murdereTS nor ROBBERS for
plunder or spolation. We are here the Irish army
of liberation and the friends Of liberty against des

people against their 0ppressors of the ballot against

In ia word our war is with the armed power of
England, and not with the people, not with these

enemy, and as such will be dealt with. As VIC know
how TO recognize the services Of our friends also
do we know how to punish the depredations of our
foes.
Our work for Ireland accomplished, we leave to
your free ballots to determine your natural and
political standing and character, and shall rejoice to
and assist to make these mitess colonies spring
from the foot of foreign throne as free and indie
