The Irish republic. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1867-18??, 1867-11-23

"eehe 1nsuIreCUOnaTy movements which were only
queled with fire and steel?
Our object, then, we respectfully urge, should be to
take hold of these movements in such way as will
best advance the liberty Of our own country. What
ever secures the liberty of England will do that for
are as firmly convinced that the Eternal regns
on high, that Irish and English freedom must fall rise
together How this to be DONE think it wiser not
to say too plainly here Besides, that is mainly for the
wisdom Of accredited leaders But it is to be DONE
and 1t ought to be done, and if in earnest way
Will be found to do it, We have got million of Irish
men IN England. They all Republicans, every man
OF them Could they not while clinging to the ultimate
liberty of their own land sink their narrow seconaIism
so tar, for season, would enable them to unite in
every free movement with their English neghbors
Hence for friendship with all peoples, but espe-
cially with the real people of England Strike their
tyrants if you wl-the more the better But do not,
by and useless bravado annoy or exasperate
the people Lest we should be misunderstood we say
plainly that this thoughtss and purposeless ranting
about burning of docks and sackng of armories in Eng
land IS only strengthening enemies and rvetng our
countrys chains 1t is sacrificing brave men useessy
and useless waste of human blood is neither more nor
less than crime 1t is time to put stop to this sort
of braggadoco and seek the rational aid of those who
can do to upset English tyranny in one year than
all the cashcolectng patriots of New York could do in
century.
We conclude by calling the attention of our readers
to the following significant report taken from the New
York Tribune of meeting of the English Reform
League which was held in London on the 24th of Oc-
tober:
long letter from the President Edmond Beales M. A.
was read in which that gentleman after expressing his hope
and belief that long Mr. Gladstone would place himself
at the head of the manhood suffrage movement to
explain the in favor of italian liberty spoke of
the Irish question: asserting that the Irish had the right of
meeting the English did in Hyde Park and expressing
their grievances and demanding their removal On this
ground he denounced the physical unwise and
unnecessary and calculated to divide English and Irish

the latter.
long discussion ensued upon the letter. Mr. Iucrof
objected its publication because it condemned Fenansm
he felt that the Irish people fully justified in using
physical force to redress their wrongs when they received
such fearful provocation.
Mr.. Whitord another member of the Council said that
the people of Ireland had been roden upon that he did
not think it right condemn them if they revolution
Mr. Cooper said the Irish had been receiving provocaon
for seven hundred years There argument power

the Fenans, and he fully sympathized with them.
Mr.. Odger said, if he were Irishman he would be
Fenian Ireland would never make an impression on her
rulers until she knocked of them down. How else
would they get redress? The substance Ireland was eaten
up by boaed parsons who protested religion with which
the people had sympathy, and he surprised or
sorry that the Irish people sad ave will endure it
no longer"
Mr. Brisk said Mr. Beas letter was an abortion and he
trusted Fenianism would go and prosper
Inc Chairman Mr. Baxter Langley ympathized with the

The letter of Mr. Beae entered on the minutes but
