Cumberland, who were on a strike, as reported
in Yesterdays Gazette, have gone to work,
loading coal for this city, at sl.3O freight per

panies, whose agencies are located in George

over the grave of Fenianism, for its meaning is
liberty and its spirit is immortal.
When Irishmen cease to exist they will cease to
cherish love for national independence. Until
then, Fenanism will fling it's banner to the breeze,
and struggle for liberty hopelessy, prematurely,
unpreparedly sometimes,-but never bending its
knees at the shrine of despotsm, nor bowling its
head to receive the letters of the slave.
Ere Fenianism ceases to exist the traveller from
New Zealand will stand the broken arch of
London Bridge and sketch the ruins of St. Paul,
and Rome will be the capital of an Italian Re-
public.
Let the towards and slaves,-if there are any
such in the Brotherhood fall away, and herd with
the great army of our soulless serfs who move
through the cities and continents of the world
without country or name, needless whether their
country be the bondmaid Of despotism not.
Enough remain to do our work. Our great
bers has been our great weakness IT'S not bones
we lack but souls Close up your ranks, then, and
shout to the Shan Vapo Vocht and her herd of
lazzaroni-
" Out and make way for the Fenian Men,
The Irish republic. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1867-18??, 1867-06-15
The Battle Ground.


There are two positions which, for the present,
we shall take for granted as founded in truth and
justice One is that the people of Ireland have a
right to their national independence. The other is
that the moment the proper opportunity offers they
will strike for it and secure it.
These positions, in the sight of all men who are
true to liberty, are absolutely unassailabe. And
most assuredly no Irishman will object to them
unless he be an English sympathizer, or coward.
And in either case perfectly willing to make
a present of him to the enemy.
Some true men amongst us-and great many
who, for their own purposes, professed to be such
have, up to very late period, argued strongly
that Irish independence should be won only upon
Irish SOIL And not content with holding and ex-
pressing their own opinions which they had
right to do-some Of them have gone to the most
unjustfable lengths, in denouncing those who,
after careful consideration, had been compelled to
come to different conclusion. The most devoted
and self-sacrfcing of our race, either in
America or throughout the earth, have been pub
licy branded traitors by worthless and wicked
adventures who, while fattening the plumber of
our poor countrymen were Turing on the best
friends of our national cause to doom worse than
death, and doing the work Of it's mortal enemies
thousand times more efectually than ever they
could have done it themselves.
The result Of the late wretched attempt at revo-
luton in Ireland is a melancholy and conclusive
proof of the correctness of the views which, months
and years before, were entertained and advocated
by the most honest and capable of our countrymen
in America What these views are we shall pro-
coed to explain. But before doing so, it is neces-
sary to guard against misconstruction and misrep-
resentation. We say then, once for all, that there
are not on earth who would desire more fer
venty than we would to see the British beast
bearded in his Irish den,to the foreign usurp-
err and oppressor driven headlong out of that lovely
land which he has torn and tortured so long, But
we must not be 'the fools of our own wishes"
1t is easy to desire, but difficult, oftentimes,
to accomplish What is practicable is the grand
question-what can be done and, therefore, what
if we are men capable of exercising the reason
that God has given us-ought to be undertaken
and accomplished,
Here is our deliberate conviction. 1t is no hasty
thought. It is the result of years of reflection and
experience. While England IS at peace qoith the
great ooaoers Of the ear and has, consequently, all
