Do not trampe on the poor slave Tt is the act of

The principle, therefore, must be maintained intact
against all comers- must be maintained the ballot
box, and If necessary it must be maintained more
on the battlefield, that the loyal people of America
shall rule America and they only.
What then, in the name of justice and common
sense, In the name of the safety of this great country
the last hope and refuge of all oppressed peopes-is
the meaning of this foul and false game of fast and
loose which many influential members of the Re-
publican party have been playing with Reconstruction
We aude principally to the clause which fools or
knaves toisted into Of the Reconstruction Acts,
which requires that majority Of registered roters must
declare for union or no union ever be? Many of
these men who are registered voters blooddyed
traitors who spurn the proered boon because they eh
to destroy the country? Was the clause put in to enable
them to do So tlooks like it. Or it be true that
such Mr.. Senator Trumbull, of Illinois, who
opposed it at first is abusing his position and in
uence to keep it there If this be true he is assuming
terrible responsibility And high as he stands and
able he is the country will call him to account for it.
For the sake of country and Of universal liberty,
let Mr. Shermans proposed measure be at passed
into law; and let it be proclaimed for all time to come,
that whenever the majority of the citizens who actually
vote in any State pronounce for the Union that Union
with them and with their State is then and there forth

was hoped that the days of monster meetings-with

The State of Ireland.

We published in last weeks issue of THE IRISH Re-
PUBLIC appeal from Father Vaughan, in behalf of
Isaac Butt the celebrated counselor who defended Luby
Kickham, O'Leary and others with such remarkable
ability Isaac Butt has been in debtors prison for
the last four months and will remain there until his
friends come to his assistance His incarceration may
be the taken by INSCRIPTIONS and willy enemy
to be revenged upon him for his dissection of the Brit
ish Government during the first Fenian trials.
In addition to the appeal for Mr.. Butt the good
priest appeals the Irish people Of America in behalf
of the Dublin freshman newspaper, which the British
Government is endeavorng to suppress They will go
through the legal farce of trying the editor Mr. Pigot
and fnng him heavily that unless those who wish
support the national press of Ireland to the assist
of the h1shmaa there is little doubt but that it
will have to go the road of the Dublin Irish People.
No words of add to the strength of Father
Vaughans appeal If the national press Of Ireland
such even the British Government permits in that
suffering country-is allowed to be suppressed without
struggle it will be of the biggest victories that the
English have gained in Ireland in this generation
Now that the great holiday of our national saint is at
hand, when money will be spent in criminal folly
than would fit army for the field or give bread
into the hands OF the suffering millions of race it

unwisey it matters moths children the property

We have noticed with pleasure the recent movement
in Ireland and England to raise funds for the support
of the families of the murdered Of Manchester.
The great excitement caused by this recent move
ment to alleviate the suerngs of the families ofthe three
murdered men has had the bad effect of stopping the
contributions to the original Fenian families. The
patriotism and duty of the people in their desire to as

have been turned into wrong channel. The money

graveyards of ireland to the deadas has been
mended by excited eaders-s wanted to feed the chill
dren of those who pinng in dungeons and suffering
worse than death for Ireland Also
We do not wish to institute comparisons between men
who have acted so nobly and suffered herocay for
liberty have those who have made the of Fenan

The worse feature of the whole case however, is chat

there is not dollar going from America. Here we
have Irish than there in Ireland, and each
man much in day as he could in
Ireland in one week. and still the children of the best
men of our race-men who gave life and liberty for
their country-are crying for bread. Why do not the
Fenians throughout the country when paying in their
dues add five or ten cents week to the fund for the
children of the prisoners
Brothers, entreat you in the of liberty, not
to forget the children of the about whom we boast
much, and after whom name our Circles.
We also request of the Irish-American journals to
take up the appeal of Father Vaughan for Isaac Butt
and the Dublin hisAm,an. Let forget differences

There is more money extravagantly wasted by our
countrymen annually, in America, than would suffice to
relieve all the sufferers in ireland.
When shall some or men arise that will turn our
vehement patriotism and boundless extravaganza into
profitable channel? Let the money that is usually spent
on ST. Patricks day be sent to the prisoners families
and country and will stand higher in the
estimation of others.
