The Irish republic. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1867-18??, 1867-10-12


distress does not do it from charity but from sense
of duty For public charities, who compare with
them?
While we would impress on our countrymen the ne
cessity of cutivating feelings of unity with their fellow
citizens in general thoroughly DESTROYS of pierre
ing this SHE'LL for it is only shell, that has divided
us from the Yankee We counsel the cultivation of
friendly feelings with Him, for we must bear in mind
that New England is the school house of America and
the Yankee the schoolmaser Look through the land
and see if He does not supply the BRAIN Men may call
him angular in his character but we may rest assured
that his angles always turned towards error and his
smooth side towards justice There is nothing negative
in him. He has too much energy to be neutral He
cannot be Conservative He is extreme, but he
ahead in his extremes He will not wait until the
guard thinks proper to up but he will take
at the point of the bayonet, and conquer or die
Those who think the Yankee is confined to New Eng
land are woefuly mistaken He is everywhere. He
takes swamp the shores of Lake Michigan, and
builds on it city that rivals the marvels of Arabia He
is preparing the Southern States for freemen. He
strnging out the Pacific road at breakneck pace In
fact he has eavened the entire country with his spirit
until there is scarcely of u.s. who have opened
lungs to the air of freedom that has not mbbed some
of his conquering spirit. When grow tired the
road to Irish liberty and begin to count the numberess
obstacles that rise before think Of the few fan
atcs and women, who met in Boston twenty -four
five years ago. and proclaimed freedom to the slave"
They were laughed at crazy. They were prosecuted
as dangerous But the slaves are free today That is
the black slaves the white slaves in Ireland still in
bondage
Young men of Ireland it is to you we speak all the
time 1t is useless to talk to those who have grown
gray in their blindness and SINS To you we speak when
say fling off the robes of bgotry and judge of all
men by their works You who will help to make your
country free America must be radical IN all htqs
What is revolution but the most radical of radcasms
Cut loose from old Conservative fogysm. You cannot
achieve your countrys liberty if each of you fettered
to dead body And in our case all Conservatives are
dead men, than Dead for they retain life but tc
kill us with their rottenness. Think of the abolition
movement, and do as they did.
We do not talk 4" Yankee for the Yankees They
know themselves fully. And any words of ours are
no consequence to them. But we would have our PEG
pie practical radical determined and treless, as thu
Yankees When in the near future Ireland shall rist
from her serfdom, and, shaking off her chains proclaim
herself republic be that the Yankee will have
hand in. Then we invite him across the waters
with his magical " carpet bag" and while he gives u
of his indomitable vim and treless energy, We
will give him some of spare recklessness and spirit
ual dreaming, and both will be mutually benefited
thereby.
So success to the carpet bag that holds school houses
and railroads rifles and iron clads liberty and happiness
and may the owner remember old Ireland in his disr
button of these articles
More Sneering from the Slave-makers.
