THE IRISH REPUBLIC contains too much sound truth for
such people, if they did read it, They are in my
opinion beyond reclamation They uod sacrifice the indie
pendnce Of their country and every principle that hold dear
euem nationality se.tor the perpeuotion Of copper
head rule But must only hope for better future that
they into their Ignorant and degraded position lift
themselves of their unfortunate condition. and prove
themselves worthy of their country and of being citizens of
the great Republic. THE IRISH REPUBLIC declared
time that the people at home far in advance of the
majority of their countrymen here, in intelligence and
patriotism which is, in my opinion, in every respect
This degradation of the Irish people in America believe
owing to the teachings of the copperhead press for it is
after they to this country that they become bgoed
and predced and from that hour bndy led by traffic
ing politicians who loud in their praises in order
obtain their votes but in office than they openly
deceive them
There another source to be blamed for this unhappy
of things Until THE IRISH REPUBLIC made its appear
ance there other Irs-Amercan journal the con-
tinent speak out boldly and tell them their faults well
their merits Because it is well known the poor Irish
easily offended and to let the truth be known them might
offend them too much; therefore they led to believe
they the greatest people the face of the EARTH So
they remained happy as 1t were IN their own ignorance
talked about kings and clans the great Os and Macs but
word about assisting in driving out the English
obbe from their native Shores about the gallant patriots
who pnng in British dungeons for the crime of
being true to their native land.
But this great desderau has been supplied by THE
IRISH REPUBLIC and wherever it makes it's appearance it
cannot fail to make revolution in the peoples minds from
the bold and manly tone of its uterance and the sound
wholesome advice that is always be found in its columns
In conclusion, wish THE IRISH REPUBLIC success and
hoping you will for trespassng too much upon
your valuable space remain your obedent servant
