DUBLIN, January Is, 1867.
To ALB WHOM 1T NAY CONCERN: Ia the pres
ent momentous crisis Of Irish nationality
when in the Eeyes Of lbe Dworld the question
of Ireland's existence or total extinction as
neutrality-suspicious. nation seems trembling IN the
balance, we, the representatives OF the Re-
publican pafty in Ireland, deem tour duty
to make known to all true sympathlzerS with
our. down trodden race and oppressed nation
ality, that we have taken our hnal stand on
the high vantage ground OF self-rellance-
that, taught by years of bitter experiences We
no longer base our hopes 0. snccessupon the
CO operation Of our countrymen In America !
and that we repudiatr, Once and forever, the
degrading doctrine that's irish liberty and
Irish rights are not to beewon without asSls-
lance from foreign and external sources. No
longer shall we be dominated by the autben+
tic dcta Of single will; no longer shall the
deStinies Of our race hang upon the strength
or weakness of a single mind. Our lost OPP
portunities and btighted hopes proclaim,
trumpet-tongued, that The time for such
feudal administration of our affairs is past.
From deep conviction ofsthis truth, wei
the Republican representatives of Ireladd,
formed, on the I7th inst, q Directory, with
supreme control of the organization Ga
the 24th we became aware OF the action OF
our conntry men in America in the deposition
of Mr.. Stephens and the election of General
Gleason, to the vacant Bead Centership.-
While viewing these matters with indit1er-
ence, and as entirely unconnected with our
selves, we tilltrust that we retain the synl-
patty Of our expatriated countrymen, wher-
ever they are 10 be found. But not to them
alone do we appeal for sympathy; when our
struggle for Independence shall be iDaugu-
rated the whole world shall behold the cham
pions of liberty, Of every race and every
nationality, rallyicg round our banner OF
rights. Then, and not Till then, shall the
soldier and the patriot be recognized for his
true worth, and the self-sufieient fool and
Intriguing coward forced to Swallow IN the
mire of his own infamy. eaa a@
Ere long shall the world behold the speeta-
Gle of nation uprising in its might, strong
insits self confidence and conscious right, 10
win its way 10 its legitimate place among the
peopleof the earth, or set mid y balo OF blood
and glory which shall serve as a lode star Of
libertyto future generations and succeeding
ages. .'Hi
Remem bering always that fortune f,vors the
brave and enterprIsing, however adverse she
may appear for a time, we resolve to commit
OURSELVES 10 energetic neutrality-suspicious. action,
AS the only course now BETTING brave and
honorable men, sedulouslY eschewing for the
future all unnecessary exposure of our plans
by public display of lp-patriotism.
{ Such being the sentiments which actaate
US we shall enter fearlessly upon the course
we have marked out-snd may God defend
the right.
