There is located at the Corners about 2 or 10
sons NV the Green Isle Nv Erin, which is called
the Green Isle, spose, becos of the ease with
which the great majority of EN- is managed by
the Democrisy. To fasten these voters and hold
EN- to US, it was considered advisable that some
akshen be taken by the Democrisy ny the Cor
ners, in the matter Nv Irish liberty and EngHsn
oppreshun. The igee originated with Deekin

liberty to a man who don't like to work; who
hez a taste for draw poker and mint goolips, and
who can force fifty hundred niggers to work
for him? 700 might ez we'll fire paper wads at

for work, and likin for mint goolps, but haint
got no sentiment. Still, we hev no objecshun to
talkin of liberty at long range. We hev no OBJ

to admit that in Ireland it is pretty good thing.

of the Yoorited Stats, that steps be Immediate

The resoushuns about bein yoonanlmous-

in taxed like thunder, but who amt permitted

Resolved, Likewise, that while moistenin up
