/ To the officers and members of the Fenian
Convention assembled in Centerville, Decenl-
Der 90, 1867 1. aH U.s..
| Your Committee, appointed to draft resoIu-
tions expressive of the sentiments Of the Fe-
nian organization of Idaho Territory, do re-
spectfully report the following preamble and
resolutions: 4a,
WHEREAS, In the language of our most pa
triotic District Centre. it is both necessary and
expedient that the Fenian Brotherhood Of
Idaho Territory, through their Representatives,
should come together Mt certain periods to re-
view our organized efforts in the past, and in
the language OF our most solemn pledge to
more fully propagate the principles of Fenian-
ism.
AND WHEREAS, The recent executions of
| three OF our countrymen iii Manchester, and the
corruptmean used through bribery and packed
juries to convict them, is but another evidence
of the fact that the Fenian Brotherhood
throughout America must, by renewed efforts,
create an opportunity to aycnge the death of
the Manchester heroes, and to redress long
list OF grievances accumulated for the last
seven centuries.
AND WHEREAS, The address of President
Roberts to the late Cleveland Congress, the
proceedings of which we most cordially in
dorse, as we'll as the declaration of principles
emanatlng from that body, all point TO the ne
cessity Of renewed efforts aud more thorough
union Of Irish Nationalists Therefore,
Resoiced, That the liberation of Ireland from
the tyrant yoke of her ruthless oppressor is
paramount to every earthly consideration, and
to attract the sympathy of all nations to the
business OF our cause, a more perfect union of
the entire Brotherhood of America is impera-
lively essential.
Resoiced. That rs the difference of opinion
of the Fcnian Brotherhood Vt the East exists
only as to the mode Of accomplishing the indie
pendence of ireland, We therefore call On our
brothers everywhere to set chickering's and
jealousies aside, to lock hands in q spirit of
harmony, and engage at once in the one CON-
mon object, that We may present to the hered-
itary enemy of our race one solid, unbr0ken
phalanx. And be it further
Resolped, That We believe with the great
statesmen who have most intelllsently and no.
bly, expressed their opinions on the subject in
this country that, in exchange for the allegiance
which the alien born solemnly pledge under
sacred oaths upon becoming naturalized citi-
zens of the United States, the Government is
in duty bound to invest the newly made citi-
zen with every right, privilege, prerngative,
and guarantee under the Federal Constitution:
That among those guarantees are the protcc-
ton and safety of citizens from illegal mpris-
onment at the hands of any and every foreign
Government; And should the issue Of war b.
the consequence of such protection, We pledge
ourselves to tender to the Government our ma
terial and physical assistance.
Resolved That We view with exceeding NOR
titicaton Of spirit and deep displeasure tho
conduct of the Government ut Washington i'm
its unexampled neglect and refusal to exercise
that protection and safety (Which should be
the guarantee TO every citizen whether native
born or naturalizedl to those of our country or
blood who have suffered and to those who yet
suffer from the barbarity and inhaman tyranny
Of the British Government as was conspicu-
ously excmplifed in the late brutal executions
at Manchester. and in the sentence to long im-
prisonment OF other brave spirits, both native
and adopted American citizens, for no other
cause than their heartfelt sympathy or noble
efforts in behalf Of oppressed Ireland
All of which is respectfully submitted.
