To the Editors of The Irish Republic.
SIRs: The writer of the article Warning to lfshmen"
which the 3Oh ulmo appeared in the Oregon Herd-
perhaps by this time widely circulated unknown to me-
1t contains yolumnous misrepresentation of facts merits
vigorous reuaon and accord with the character and dis
position of the lusrous rishman suppose be its author
Before God and man, he has knowingly, wckedly, mali
cously attempted to justify the glazing improperly of Erns
ongoppressed giving aid and comfort to those
mics of human freedom in actual league with the oppressors
of the Irish race who having failed to overthrow this Re-
public extend the of slavery beyond its unhal
protesting to be the poor whe mans friends and it in
their power which hope will be- would bring every
type Of humanity into bondage. < The great
the patriotic Damascus, not from Palestine (perhaps
emssary from Tophe or peak beyond it, with that
low shrewd cunning so peculiar to satanic genius and
disseminated truth and alsehood in intricate
easily deceive the unsuspecting of the Emerald se
and while enumerating few patriotic Irishmen, Whose
patriotism has been disputed omts mention Bishop
Cullen who for his Jealous efforts to uphold British misrue
Irish SOIL was through British agency promoted by his
Fenans the priests of Kerry and other Celtic ecclesiastical
police in the service of the Saxon freebooter. Oh Dam
the rich illusions of thy eloquent mind be-
Something about Israel The proph
of Israel stood in the gap between offended God and
unruy man to reprove the political of State
authorities This being true has the Pope of Rome who to
strengthen the barrier against the approaching Southern
march of Russia gave the Polish insurgents his benedcon
made any effort to revive the hope of Irish nationality? No.
He is like his usrous predecessor who, at the beginning
of Erns great seven hundred when
link had been long imperfect In the chain OF apostolic
cess %
crafty the plunderng desires of wicked kingthe actual
Briton gody Queen-who for the very ungody
oense of attempting to overthrow power enforced
them and their fathers by bloodhed and spiritual wicked
in high places condemned and afterwards against the
of her subjects brought to the gnomnous
death of the scaffold three Irish patriots
He the Pope of Rome and the leading Catholic powers of
boodstained Protestant ngand rob people scattered
and peeled That faction of tnmultuous Babylon of which
the Pope of Rome represents the nfibe head and which
the Catholic lrs being long pundered and their char
maliciousy DETAINED by their Protestant nvader
zeaousy attached has been used and is intended
by Protestant England to be effective barrier against Irish
nationality. These unclean spirits linked together under
invisible leader of the Southern Confderacy at
work in this Republic and elsewhere. \ When
Fenianism the ancient militia of Ireland organized
and when the cries of the people, because OF their opprssor
heard throughout distracted Erin how many of the
more influential the Irish Roman Catholic clergy stood
between the porch and the altar supplcae Almighty God
the deverance of their country from the invaders yoke
yoke CALLING, insulting to oppressed humanity
than that under which the Hebrews abored in the land of
Egypt they any of them have done So do hope that
Damascus will not forget to mention 1t In the next shell from
Tophet he expodes among the Irish people. That
Damascus ashamed of his real he great Cor Mac in
the late gales may have blown off IT'D believes the Irish
element viii WELD powerful influence in the political
destiny of this Republic and that both he and the British
arstocracy having different objects in vew seriously
soctou the Irish people assimating closely with
the socaed democracy under the leadership of such
as Johnson Davis Toomb, Hammond and others: admit;
but that his wornng en explains the difference between
democracy it and the pro-savery Breckenridge
democracy of the present time deny.
In conclusion if MacDamascu whatever his real name
may be-f he has one(for old Satan like the British
arsocracy and Breckenridge democracy being enemy OF
human freedom, may have written the letter tickle his
prosavery friend the Oregon Herald has any influence over
the Oregon journals this will be published therein But
have done my duty you, being editors do yours II 1t
suits your convenience. JAMES JAMESON SHEAsGREEN.
