The Irish republic., 1867-06-08

ring the past five years, the Monroe doctrine
appeared to be in bad way indeed. It's march
was apparently backward one. The tools OF the
tyrants sneered and exuted and, as if ashamed
of ITSELF it got wenigh out of sight Its enc
mies-and their is legion-were Jubllant IN
the belief that it had left the world for good and
that here, in the new world, as well as IN the ola,
tyrants, great and small, might do their wlckedest
and their worst. And they tried hard to do IT,
France in Mexico, Spain in San Domingo, and Eng
land with her Aabamas on the seattle devils SER
wants were not idle
They fished in the troubled waters of American
conflicts and caught-nothing. Worse than that,
one of them who says that he is the nephew Of his
uncle, has, at this moment very big flea inhis ear
Perhaps France may relieve him of his embarrass
hfent by giving him kick on the seat of honor,
and setting up Republic. Another, named Bull,
who tried to gore liberty to death, now bellows
with mortal terror, as he the Yankee matadore
entering the arena with his avenging sword. And
as for the anointed harot of the Spanish Peninsu-
la, the less said the better There are things too
dirty and indelicate to talk about. Let her
send her jewels and bastards to London. She will
very soon follow them
So fares it with the enemies Of the Monroe doc
trine-in other words, Of human liberty in Amer
ica And what of that world renowned doctrine"
itself? Why, this The red-clouds of war, that
concealed it's spendor, have all passed. and it shines
the brightest star amid the glorious con-
stellation that emblazons the flag of the great Re-
public. Monarchy in Mexico has withered under
its blaze. And Russia like sensible power, has
resigned dominions of almost fabulous extent to
Republican America, and has retired amid her own
barbarians. Both North and South have acknowl-
edged that no power but one has right to rule in
America. And that power is the people fof
America. But foreign tyranny now remains
to deseorate the soil of this great Northern Cont
nent. Shall we name it? England 1t still re-
tains a hold upon Canada. But the cords are tight
ening around the neck of the British beast. His
armed enemies are all around him. He may growl
great deal, and fight little. And then, like those
renowned warriors, the Queens Own,' he will
away.
This will be the next triumph of the Monroe doc
trne. We are firm believers in it, Our American
friends, of all political parties, profess TO be the
same. But we have some right to complain that
up to the present. they have not reduced their faith
to practice.
We have an offer to make to our fellow citizens
OF the United States, and we make IL IN the name
of all the true Irish nationaists of America. The
people of this country no slaves. They are SOW
ereign. They make the laws. They make and un-
make the Government Their rulers are their SER
wants. They have only TO express their determine
ton, and their will must be obeyed.
They are able therefore, to do all we ask of
them and it is their duty and their interest to do
it. If, then, they will request their Presidents and
Secretaries of State to to be the plant tools
of English tyranny-if they will request their rulers
to keep their hands of as, and leave us at liberty
to do our proper work. we engage, on part, that
in less than three months time, we will make the
