The Irish republic. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1867-18??, 1867-06-29

England have yet to be adjusted. And more than
that, the influence of ten millions of people of Irish
blood and birth, who are citizens residents of
these United States has yet to be brought to bear
on the national mind of America. Once that is
done-and some of us live and labor to see it done
and, as sure as the Eternal God reigns in Hea
ven, done it will be-the world may expect to see
some decided if not altogether unexpected, mill
tary movements
The leading men of the Irish race in America
have now been pretty well taught IN the bitter
school of adverse experience The mistakes and
errors of the past have not been wholly useless.
Like the wrecks around the sunken rocks they will
be wa, nngs for the future Neither the Internal
treachery, nor the selfish dishonesty, of few bad
men, nor the ignorant and unreasonng enthusiasm
of excited multitudes, will be allowed to force us
into action, at any time in any place, where we
would only sacrifice ourselves or the cause of our
country for the qualification and ACKNOWLEDGEMENT of
our INSCRIPTIONS and remorseless enemies. We
repeat it, the true Irish Nationalist of America
will bide their time And more, they will perse-
we're in their preparations, with calm, answering,
unwearying energy, until the balance Of power
between them and the enemy they are resolved to
overthrow is reduced to something nearer level
than ever it yet has been.
When the hour of action strikes, the robber rag
of England will be swept off the face of this Ameri
can continent.
Possessed of the shores and harbors of the North
ern provinces we shall proceed to proper work.
The maratme rights of bellgerent powers
which England conceded SO gladly and quickly
to the late slave holding Confederacy-will not and
cannot be denied to us.
The Alabama precedent, which England herself
has set, it will be our business to improve upon.
About half dozen English privateers, under the
Confederate flag, in less than three years. time,
swept the vast commerce of the American Republic
off the face of the seas.
With the assistance, which sure to get,
of those in America, and in other lands, who owe
so deep debt to English justice and honor, we can
confidently reckon on our being able to put on
the sea, not six or seven Alabamas and Floridas,
but six or seven hundred.
The speculation will pay. This will prove no in
considerable element of strength.
English power is in English commerce. The
sword which strikes down the one will let the gas
out of the other. The balloon will collapse, and
the result will be rapid and ruinous fall.
Stop the cotton, stop the bread-and what, think
you, will be the tone and temper of the five mil
lions of English " hands, '-in other words, slaves
Throughout the manufacturing districts of Eng
land, who toll through wretched life to find, at
the end of it, paupers' graves? They are already,
as we'll they may be, disa'ected to the core. Amy
change must be an improvement to them. But, un.
armed and disprited, they will not strike till we
first strike for them, and against their oppressors.
Left without work, or " grub,' or beer, Bull will
become a terrible anmal-worse than a ravening
wolf Scenes, ten thousand fold more terrible than
the very worst that ever the first French Revolu-
ton witnessed, will be enacted in sin-laden Eng
land The wrongs of Ireland, and Of India, and of
! drodo tho hotraund and Slauchtered nations
