of the world though he easily chased but DEAL
rather with fact and logic and examine condition
and in the practical manner that would
do in the case of our individual Our enemy is
powerful Then how necessary is that should
ganize whole power to meet him? Do not be always
attacking him with fraction of our force when little delay
will enable to attack with masses
Let work, and earnestly and honestly unite our
scattered forces and when have united and conquered
ourselves passions hates and preudces and have laid

whose musterols will speak to the understanding of men
of practical ability, who now look dreamers-men
whose military reputation something tangible and who do
not risk its loss gnis tau but who would,

ieoders-then, my brothers, shall have hope of winning
independence then safely ntrust fortunes

not dispense with union AS long have wings will
be cursed with leaders and parsans of such wings whose
personal vanities political opposition will forever keep
apart Let this be longer We construct such
Brotherhood that wherever Fenians found together
they shall be united by the very nature of things upon the
enduring basis of brohery love and love of Irish liberty
regardless of any outside influences Brotherhood in fact and
in deed which shall be of to its members and to Ireland
brotherhood whose underlying principles shall be stronger
than religious bgotry party politics. Ignorant preudices

known each other each others views would be
allowed to do if of socalled Irish-Amer
