The Irish republic. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1867-18??, 1867-08-17

eversming Western prares These fellows are either mad
or under the continual influence of dyspepsia If they
get cured of their blue DEVILS and be made to see and az
preciate what really beautiful in nature let them Jump on
to train in Chicago and steer due west for the Big River
Let in the months when the teeming earth bears
her rich crops and lifts up her beautiful bosom clad with
Indian co Irish potatoes and red clover Nohuman being
with spark of the poet him. could ride those fowery
plains summer day without feeling his better nature
gratfed Here glorious regions expansive enough to
breed enough to the dadem from the brows of all
yrans EARTH Here is the cradle of the that shall
give liberty the world and with strong hand tear down the
despoc thrones of the old word-hrones built sghs
tears and broken hearts.
At this rate of morazing shall reach Aurora.
WE'LL we have said all that space will allow about the beauty
of the prairie drive from Chicago and will suppose ourselves
fairly journeys end with the depot and the Fox river
the principal features of the scene.
What pity this same Fox river is not navgabe. We
love rivers and the reader pardon this depression
We fancy the delights of sailing down the Fox river,
with gardens of Eden in the shape of fields of clover
buckwheat and "spud" each side Unfortunately, how
the Fox river although respectable stream, is not
navgabeand more is the pity but the good Aurorians
have enough to boast of and make the most of privileges
in that respect they might be sot up perhaps if they
could point steamboats, amongst other of their advantages
Twenty years ago there hardly house in Aurora and
it contains thrifty, welltodo population of at least
the important point the Chicago Burlington
Quincy railroad between Lake Michigan and the Mississippi
Some of the public buildings very fine The school
house deserves particular attention red brick building
and the graceful edce remember to have
made out of that material The post office also very
fine structure and built island formed by the river
On every side beholds buildings in the Of
being erected and long the streets of Aurora WILL for
their size vie with those of Chicago the neatness and
pcuresqueness of the suburbs however, that attracted
attention most We quite surprised to find streets
around Aurora yng neaness and beauty with Wabash or
Michigan avenue YET SO it was and too much praise
be given the enterprng citizens of Aurora for the
tdiness and beauty of their suburban residences.
We now turn to congenia themes, and from discuss
the merits of the buildings and parteres on to the
good peopethemseve Unfortunately stay short
less of the people of this really pretty city than
pleasing We enough, however to show plainly
that the people of Aurora ofhe right and could be
hosptable to the stranger and wayfrng AS far
could see the German element predomnate in Aurora and
right and clean do the Germans keep their quarter of
the Of the lost sheep of the house of Israeli
the natives of the old green se-there are very many
but indeed think cap the climax of praise of
the Aurorians in emphatic manner than by stating
that we'll hundred of them have subscribed for THE
IRISH REPUBc There proof of genuneness that there
gansaying and to make the matter rebound
their credit there every probability that nearly many
about become subscribers And here before
mention people, let return thanks to
American and German subscribers in Aurora Is
there not hope for Ireland when the Teuton and the Yankee
begin take in her? What other Irish paper
this continent boast of its hundreds of American and
German subscribers most of whom have unsolicited given
their support because support ibertyberty not
alone for ourselves but for all the of mankind that happen
be in need of that most necessary concoman of happiness
Here the of and here is the cause why
the liberty of Ireland is not and has been SO popular as
it ought to be in America We have been too many of us
at least awuy selfish in our ideas about liberty We thought
might help keep other people in bondage and the
time camor for liberty for ourselves Itwas no wonder
that the cause OF Irish liberty very nearly mscarried and
