The Limerick Manifesto.
From the Boston Pilot.

The manifesto of the Very Rev. DR.. OBrien and the
clergy of Limerick has called forth expressions of warm
sympathy generally, well opposition and bitter
part of the Orange and Tory supporters of the
Irish Establishment Dr. OBren has been thus induced to
publish another brief letter thank "his correspondents,
both lay and clerical both sides of the channel for their
sympathy who are too be replied individually
The dean says in this letter:

difficulties the best proof that valid objection can be
found. We do not to dismember the empire any
than Baron Won Beust wanted to dsmember Austria
by giving Hungary constitution. We do not favor re-
pubcanism; the contrary place nationality between
Ireland and revolution. Nay think the time come
when united and paced Ireland be power in the west
for the conservation of order and the support of constitutional
government We do not favor Fenansm on the contrary
take from its lips the chefes plea of Fenianism and
the hearts and eyes of counrymen away from Fe
nanism by giving them object and hope We do not
in the least interfere with what good seek and hope
to obtain We do divert attention, weaken energy or
confuse issues-God forbid At this moment mere

less, be one of much Importance.
