Memphis daily appeal. [volume] (Memphis, Tenn.) 1847-1886, 1866-03-16

Trfshulen scattered over the earth now
than there are in Ireland Itself Iiey
are ALI over the worId-in the fields and
in the mines everywhere. Why should
not the American people symeuhize
| with the Irish in their struggle. Your
I floo3 Is on our hammers, and every true
! American viii give you help when you
eoU for it. We hope that the Stars and
STRIPES viii soon be blended la har-
monv that viii last as long as earth be-
! tween he republic Of Ireland and the
i republic of the United States. What
makes the history Of the rise ofthe Dutch
/ Repahlic - interesting Because it re-
[ counts the struggles of a brave people Cor
/ liberty, and the name Of William, their
I leader, is immortal; aud their cause was
not q whit hOlier than that of James
Stephens and Ireland to-day. This re-
public cannot afford TO see Ireland
crushed let me remind you ef What
has taken place The resources ot tins
country have been developed hy the
Irish. That they would be capable oi
self-goverument is evident. They came
here poor and ignorant, bat they
spread themselves and entered every
profession and trade IN lie with s'ic-
cess. England Tor a thousand years
has been sowing the wind, ana lt she
reaps q harvest OF WhirlWinds % Is her
own rauIt The common sense Of the
world was on the side of Ireland. Louis
Napoleon would not maintain his power
for thres weeks If he prepared 10 iasteu
chains on Ireland. Cheers. Amerl-
cans should act on the great principle Of
human liberty, and acting on that prin-
ciuIa they would lee the friends OF Ire
land. and as a matter Of pure right
Americans would give ireland such aid
and eOmf0rt as they could. if England
sent them word that they were going Zoo
far they might step out of the fight and
remain neural hereafter. History showed
that no people ever Vet rose IN revOlu-
ti0n without showing good cause for do
ing so. The French people in the last
century proved that they had good cause
for their revolution, for they were ground
hv the privileged classes. With Keen I
clutch They grasped at the throat Of the
ari~tocracy and hurled them i'm the dust 4
ireland had not only suffered from do /
nestle trrant-, but from tyrants Of for I
eigu birth She made n glorious struggle !
i'm 'gs and As: she covered her land with .
the names Of men whose deeds were As
Inspiring to men in the New World as IN .
the Old. ireland had a better right 10 .
rise to-day against her oppre>sorS than .
the people of France had, for the oppfes-
s0rs of Ireland were Of foreign birth, nav
ing no religious or political feelings IN
common with the Irish people At no
time had Ireland "a better chance OF free
dom than now. England had forfeited
good feeling among Americans In con-
uecti0u with the late rehelli0n; she bad
not friend in amy country in Christen-
dom There were millions Of lriShmen
in every country who hated English
rll- alld were determined % strike
a blow 40 hcr power. England
knew that .reat dancer threatened her
power In Ireland, and that was mani
fe~Irti by Aer recent proceedings ia Par
lament The Irish iu America would
send word 10 Ireland that there were
thousands here ready % die for her cause.
The very act Of the suspension Of the
hu5sgs corpus act, at the suggestion of
the Lord Lieutenant OF Ireland, instead
Of crushing out FeuiaHism, would only
make &c spread ike prairie fire, and If
they created a harmony Of sentiment
among themselves no man would dare 90
appeal iu au assembly Of lrIshmeu who
iii not approve Of their cause. IT they
made their motive high and pure, with
the help 1f God, Ireland would hr free.
rhev should break the fetters from the
rDrever With the help OF God and men
this Government should Dee exercised for
an time in the maintenance OF human
rights and human liberty. Cheers.
