DEAR QUEEN: I'm your friend. I'm
q friend to ali good queens, male or
female, who watch over the interests
of their subjects rs you do over the
Erins. You're to them like a tender
mother to her babes, if not more so;
but they don't treat you as a parent.
They're set of unprodigal children,
according to your policy. III there
fore give you true history of their
movements in America, for you should
know their hartes. Them Fins, my
dear Queen, is dangerous to the
throne. They're a volcany, and
there's no telling how soon they'll
bust. They are smoky for liberty.
The little affair in Canady isn't any
thing to what it will be if it isn't
nipped in the bud. Therefore, Queen,
make the most eXerty efforts YOU can
to nip immediately The general
which nips in time always carrys his
pint. Rise from your slumbers in
the morning with tho nighting,l.
Remember ''thc early bird always
gets the worm Keep that on your
brain.
Now for the nippin process: If
you'd put every Fin you catch in a
comfortable shooting iron, (give them
plenty Of room, and shoot them ont
IN haste, i'll presence of Ireland;
think that would cool down all you
shoot off in that style. You know
how to do the thing, l think it
would be cuttin' to the hartes of
Irishmen in n. York to shoot them
across the briny, and land them one
after tother in that town; tho I think
it would be morely virtuous to put
each patient in head frst-that would
give him chance of lighting on his
feet when he arrives This clemcncy
of putting them in contrary to the
brutal system of feet first, wo'd enti-
tie you to the respect Of all civilized
nations, ancient and modern. Use
clemency, Queen-it's bully policy.
BE softly. Go slow. l think, ac-
cording to your policy, they've rot
too much liberty. know they like
liberty, but it's not natural for them
to have it just now and formerly.
And then 1 think oppression is % viz
tue on your part. 1t must certainly
give you sweet conscience and sleep,
with but very small nightmares.
Opression-morc OPPRESSION, if posi-
BILE
That's true religion. The very light
taxes, privileges and cetery that you
50 graclously grant them, sho'd be
received by them with extasy, in
stead Of ricY ee1sY That's Latin.
Queen; it means the other end first. I
| don't think they pay you and your
family enough in the article of cash
alone to recompense you for the life,
liberty and pursuit of happiness your
motherly charity rains in their
bosoms This is deplorable ingrati-
tude. From all I can learn, yourself
and family are very poor. Here,
poor Queen, l stop and drop tear
I'm sorry this IS a free country, orI'd
try and get the Erins in this country
to also likewise help to support your
family. I'm sorry also on Elbert and
Eixandy's acct. It's hard TO begin
life poor. ] hear you got daughter
which got married shortly ago, and
if he hasn't got q trade, of course
the Erins will also support him cheer
fully as common.
The father of these Fins was an
old Fin, which reigned in Ireland
while Osslan, his son, done the sing
ing, IN the first age of that country.
Ihls shows that these mon have gone
back to the Hordes and Vandals,
thereby assuming an attytude of war
and pestilence against tho Crown.
Watch them, Queen, watch them
