thousand, to live by active labor to their bread
by the sweat of their brow"
Just think of such man, at time when he can
hardly get half work and consequently can only earn
half wages, voting for party which has Free Trade
with England" inscribed on its banners-voting with
party whose policy, if they only get command of
the Government of this country, wildly deugng the
markets with British manufactures the price
of American goods at least oneha and inevitable
consequence reduce has half aoages one-ha more, SO
that the dollar and half which, in Boston or New
York Chicago he tries to keep and body together
will be crushed down by English Free Trade to seventy
five cents Yet this is just what the Irish voters
deliberately doing for themselves who support the
terrified Democracy" which boasts that it is about to
carry all the States of the American Union Ofcourse
mere Irishmen are only good for evoters" None Of
then, 0oted for. Scratching off the ticket is the
lot reserved for them IF they content with this style
of treatment and consider it as not only endurabe but
dgnfed and honorable so be it, They have the power
to do they please, But submit that they hare not
right to cote for that aohch oW roin the american Re
public, make themselves papers, and tahe the bread ont
Of the mouths Of their children.
Resentment against Acknowledgements the murderer
of his race, and destroyer of his countrywas sup
posed to be the deepest feeling in the heart of every
true of Ireland The home he has left his persisted
kindred his exile and the obloquy to which he is every
where exposed, than sufficient to explain and
Justify that eternal thirst for vengeance which burns
with volcanic power in every Irshmans heart One
would imagine that such man would in political life
be careful to select and support party and policy
whose object would be to wound and humble that per-

the horrid part of robber and jaer and hangman in
Ireland That remorseess rufian power has feahered
its nest with the plumber of hundred nations By its
perfdous treachery it destroyed the commerce of its
only rival America. And at this hour the seas are
covered with the ships which carry its goods to thou
sand Shores from each of which golden stream flows
back to England. If it could get the commerce of
America into its allgraspng hands, its triumph would
be complete. Then the worlds wealth would be only
and all its own. Free Trade will do that for it We.
says the Democratic party will write that Free Trade
on our banners and pass it into law And we, shout
million Irishmen will vote for the Democratic party
and English Free Trade This is, indeed the heroism
of FOOLS"
The first blow that is to humble England must be
stricken at her trade Let that be eectualy dealt with
and the inflated and nsolent power of the oppressor of
Ireland will collapse like rent balloon IF the Repub

pledges and protect American workmen from the ruin
Gus competition of the English robber then do not sup
port that party But set yourselves like intelligent and
resoute men to organize political party which yW do
this most holy work. But in the of justice, of
country ofhumanity do not support those whose object
to aggrandize your eternal enemy and reduce you
your adopted country, to the hunger and rags from
which you escaped when you fed from her internal OPP
preston in the hapess land which lies beyond the
Atlantic sea-
