continent when an opportune period for step in that
direction should present ITSELF and willing cooperate with

for using this influence with effect and advantage will shortly
Hence take this occasion of appealing all Irish
refugees who have been forced leave their country for
loving too we'll join body and by doing increase
that power and influence which it is intention to put
forth in accomplishing the object should all aim at viz
the consolidation of the Fenian Brotherhood upon firm
basis and the uniting together in cordial and harmonious
whole the elements that keep asunder enieebing
energies rtterng away strength and rendering futile
our attempts to deal an eecua blow the heart of the old
enemy of our name and race No shall be admitted
member of body who has not been in the home Organ
izaon who not always his post when required and
whose character sterling Irshman and patriot will not
bear the strctest scrutiny We are now IN possession OF
encouraging facts regards the home Organization,
and the method upon which at present conducted we
do deem it prudent enter into detail of those facts

eminent in possession of information which should be with
held from them and their minions. We do not In future
intend to apprse that Government OF our Intentions we cam
however, without compromising the cause give one or two
from communication recently received from one
who is well posted upon all matters aperainng to the Bro
therlood in Ireland He SAYS tbe at home deter
mined that in future they will be governed by body of
three thousand miles away WHO know little, and
possibly care less about real of affairs there The
all the disasters of Campaign for Ireands liberty are
decidedly the best judges to when and where the revo
luton should be naugurated and they are determined not
to move single the beck of anyone till their local

view of the bunders and mistakes the faehoods and de
son that have characterized the late attempt at rebellion In
Ireland and without asking ourselves upon any SIDE
or sneapng blame upon any parry no malter nov Ihuc
deserving what ourselves may think regards them
we are resolved to have vgant eye upon ose VINO may
again attempt impose upon beoo or beray our brothers
home by lies and Misrepresentation We intend to oc
cupy position of faithful seninels the watch towers
of Irish liberty keeping sharp look out Tor all those VINO
may traitors and recreans to their contrys cause or
eopardze it's interest," either through ambition or any other
selfnterested motive We firmly resolved to longer
allow our brothers in Ireland become the victims of be
duped by designing adventurous knaves, and we shall
feel called upon hold public odium and execratlon
all who endeavo people for their own base and
selfish purposes.
To the Fenan Brotherhood home do not particularly
address ourselves. We earnor have facilities for
receiving authentic account of the true state OF affairs
herewith much satisfaction that they have already adopted
of action of which we approve, and we shall take
early opportunity of apprsng them of the path we have
marked for ourselves To the members of the Organlza-

their differences or rather the quarres of their eaderor
very little exists among the rank and file of the F. B. at both
be ended In former address asked them
une amongst themselves and recognize no party TIL union
was formed This advice has been acted by some and
to these in the of suffering people we beg to
return our sincere thanks Why should not all follow their
example? Unfortunately there many who fear that if
they withdraw support from their party they would thereby
weaken strength and indirectly support leaders whom
they dsrst To meet this earnestly recommend that
wherever two Circles each supporting different party exist
they should consolidate appoint their officers and refuse
to recognize either until union was effected AS soon as
the entire of the rank and file of both Wings united
there would be but slight difficulty in making such arrange
men would place the Organization once terror to our
as the hatred we bear towards the oppessos of country
We have once forth principles and the line of
action we have pursued and intend to still pursue Again
we appeal to the scattered members of the home Organza
ton to come into our ranks and assist in uniting
countrymen in solid mass for the accomplishment of
Irish liberty All collective strength and wisdom
