The Irish republic. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1867-18??, 1867-10-19

Since the chettans final fall, these gentlemen have
had succession of leaders" At present they recog
nize Mr.. Savage as their Head Center. That the pur
pose of endeavoring to effect union was good
and laudable one no man, who honestly desires
his country's liberty, will pretend to deny; and
we express our unfeigned regret that circumstances
arose to occasion it's temporary defeat say its
porary defeat for that it will be ultimately accomplished
we have not the shadow of doubt.
And here, before proceeding farther, enter our
protest against the mischevous and unreasonable
duct of certain individuals who, although connected
with do little honor to either section of Irish
tional Organization We have been credbly informed
that certain salared official declared several days before
the Cleveland Convention was held that he would not
even speak to the representatives of those whom he
considered his enemies, as we'll his opponents This,
to say the least carrying things rather far and
gives something like color of reality to the suspicion
that those who flung up to unmerited dignity by the
angry waves of strife are selshy afraid lest they might
sink back into their native mud through the placid
waters of unity And still reprehensble has been
the behavior of New York weekly newspaper, which,
in the abused of entire people, not
frequently the airs of an official organ. The moment
that the print in question ascerained that the attempt
made Cleveland unite the discovered sections of
Organization had not proved successful it out with
rgmarole of silly and satanic bitterness which proved
that selfish parzanship, not pure patriotism, its
ruling principle. We denounce this evil and accursed
attempt to rekndle the dying fires of hatred, and to
replace in the hands of who ought be brothers
the deadly and damnabe weapons of fratrcidal strife
The men whose imbecile iniquity originally occasioned
the enormous evils we have suffered may be
ably regarded as finally disposed Of To language
more expressive than elegant, they are dead dogs"
Nothing but the stencil of their corruption compes
to remember their illstarred existence They out
of the way; and between and those who once
their followers of separation exists except
difference of judgment respecting certain Matters which,
after ALL are not of vital Importance. For the main
question we are all agreed Is it necessary say that
the main question is the national independence of
Ireland?
There is nothing then, to render visible and recog-
nzed union of all the Irish nationalist of America
either improper or impossible Why is it not accom-
plished?
That the day is coming and that it is probably very
near when it will be accomplished have already in
tmated that we do not see the slightest doubt
And that resolved to do everything in power
consistent with honorand principle to secure its advent
and to avoid scrupuous every word or deed that would
be likely hinder retard it, unhestatingy declare
But there are opinion certain matters to be
fully and wisely considered and to these will ask the
earnest attention of all our friends and brothers.
We would be sorry to give needless ofense but truth
compe to state that the late attempt at union does not
appear to have been gone about in way at all likely to
secure it. Here is what was done A Congress meets
in New York. 1t appoints Committee to make union
That Committee attends the other Congress at Cleveland
and makes to it certain proposals which not agreed
to- And then and there the matter falls through, on
