other pet place sham republics have been exhibited bv
knaves to ery FOOLS shall take the liberty saying once
for all that Irish Republic neither other
of the things imagined and described by Mr. Linton What
then does it mean?
1t the dethronement of the English trant whether
male female and the destruction of monarchcal govern
ment in country frs then in England and every.
where else the abolition of arstocracy and all
class prviege-so that before the law, all and
shall stand equal It the extinction of territorial land
ocray and the restoration of the land to the people its proper
This to be effected in whatever way will be most
beneficial will home and employment and of
life and happiness to the largest number and will be most
conducive to the safety power and prosperity of the entire
commonwealth. 1t the disestabshment of all re-
gons the total and perpetual separation of church and sae
the combining of proesedy sacred really sacred things
and the perfect liberty of every think, speak, vote and
act according to the dictates of his own conscience.
This is what mean by the Irish Republic. Will Mr. Lin
be good enough tell what objection he has find
with it?
Two other questions mooed in this publication which it
would be improper to overlook They to undee the
entire performance and crop out continually in positive and
startling assertions.
One is that the Irish Republic is to be, at home, only another
for tyranny, and abroad sort of political Ishmaete
with every free country and people earth The other
is that the British empire must account be broken up
Therefore Ireland think of national independence
separation chooses 1t.
That the sole aim of Fenansm make Ireland free and
her people the fees of the Free have already demonsra
ted And defy any produce shadow of proof
that the members of great national organization have
in solitary instance either protested practced the
That the Irish Republic of the be enemy either
passive active of any other free people is supposition
equally gratuitous and groundles Has Mr. Linton been
asleep after the of Rip Van Wnke since l84S when
he asks to believe that the conduct of Mr. in Of
ferng raise legion of Irshmen put down the English
Chartss and uphold the authority of the English Queen
any evidence of the truth of this assumptions
He might well make the Fenian Brotherhood of America
responsible for the dongs of certain clercs in Ireland who in
defiance of all law organized brigade ago, and
sent to Italy fight against liberty and in defense of de
poism Nay he might well hold accountable for the do
ngs of orehers in the days of the Dutch William when
they sacrificed themselves and their country endeavong
pull down foreign yrant in order improve matters by
setting another As matter of principle the nation
of America condemn and repudate all such and

the thought that the humbes earth was would be-
before the law their equal Ah no They would continue
be maser-ony national masters-and would continue to
be the beasts of BURDEN only with change of loads and d
Our tyrants would be countrymen." And the
true of every man, whether in America of it,
whether of the ish any other race who either directly
indirectly ympahses WITH supports human slavery any
land under any circumstances With such yrants tools

have connection They deny and denounce them Hence
much may surprise Mr. Linton it is true that the Fenian-
ism which he fears much but another for universal
liberty and eternal justice It demands freedom for the Irish
and not for him only but for every other whom the
God of freedom has created be his country race or color

The idea that Feniansm would under any possible crcum
