The Irish republic. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1867-18??, 1867-12-07

we opine. We also expect that while one of them is
alive and has power enough to wag his tongue or pen
the only weapons they showed any capacity for using
he will treat to the ring on the old pot with vara-
tions Surely if England could be scoded out of Ire
land by eloquent revolutoniss our country would have
been free long ago. But she won't be scoded nor cursed
out unless at the point of the bayonet. From 48 to
Fenanism is but stride. We owe all our msfortunes
and laundering to the fact that Fenansm founded
by some of the '48 scholars They commenced laying
the top brick first, and built downwards. AS
quence the building has been tumblng about heads
tor the last five years since it became than Chou
sand of bricks"
AS we look back and condemn the '49 blunder-
bloodless however-so will the next generation look
back and the Fenans, unless the future of the
Organization makes reparation for the past.
Feniansm so far has succeeded in attracting the
attention Of the world very desirable thing for those
who essay the role of throne smashers by weworded
wind to delighted and incensed audiences and getting
the best men of our race into dungeons Now, the
business of the Fenansm of the future will be to open
their dungeon DOORS
Had England confined her warfare to twenty years
killing it would have given the leaders of Fenianism

in public, to fight the English in the future, but spend
the present IN the delightful and national game Of fighting
each other But there is divinity that shapes our
national ends, well as individual, and that
divinity has shaped at stroke of its mysterious
chsel.
The old hunger of blood has once more mady seized
our enemy, and the first meal has been taken. Blood
once tasted who say where this thing will stop?
Three of brothers have been murdered according to
British law in Manchester
We shall not enter into long monodies the dead.
They died like the of DID, and like them their blood
will not be stamped out not though the feet Of twenty
millions tramped it into English earth But week
ago, and these common men but that English law
that has made many Of immortal has written
their the role of Irelands political saints where
all who persisted for liberty live forever Of that enough
How shall these men be avenged? How shall the
strength of the of our race, who place Ireland
aJove all other considerations, be concentrated and
hurled on enemy? It is useless to accuse this
that party with getting this that into trap.
All know is, that these three died for Ireland
and that their blood ere it becomes cold must cement
the haters of England into an ndissoluble bond of
Brotherhood Let the past take Of ITSELF the pres
ent and the future ours Had the Fenian Brother
hood been Revolutionary body in the severe meaning
of the word and led by wise and desperate men, think
ye that England would hang these men? The blind
trant should have known that blood will not make the
Irish heart grow pale. The blood Of the dead of Man
chester will give vgor to our Organization that forty
thousand orators could never nstll into it's veins
We are little given to bombastic threats of humiliation
to the Saxon for mere buncomb We heartily tired
of this style of revolution; and what propose saying
is not intended to hurt the feeling of any honest man
in either branch of the Organization. We have peen
playing with revolution long enough. We have oeen
preparing and talking and armng for nine years. and
