To the Fenian 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 cheers which arose from the
Irish soldiers at Limestone Ridge as the
English foe went fleeing before their sveng-
ing steel, has found a responsive echo in
every Irish breast, and made US one in love,
purpose and resolve. We see. after ages Of
oppression, the unquenehable desire for
Irish independence blaze forth anew, and
as it sweeps along the cities and prairies of
the vast continent it gathers within its
magic influences five million of Irish
hearts and twice fve million of friends of
freedom and foes of despotism. Arise,then,
my countrymen, nerve yourselves for the
struggle so nobly commenced. Cast aside
every consideration that would darken the
hopes of your enslaved countrymen. Be
true to liberty, Your country and
your God" and your native land,
instead of being lazar house of slavery
will soon be the garden of freedom. Stand
by the cause. Be not dismayed by obsta-
cles yoI meet. You must surmount them
and vof will I, at cnuardica snd icnora ura
