The Fenian Brotherhood, through its representatives
assembled at Philadelphia, framed and adopted
Constitution, modelled after the Constitution OF these
United States The Brotherhood had long felt

who were aiming to establish Republican form of Gov
in their native country and then and there they

who had driven them almost to destruction and placed
them in the hands of fifteen men, called Senate. This
did not suit the insane Tycoon, who had SO long been
