A. IL Il EoTT
The Irish Republicans of the United
States of America in National Con-
vention assembled in the city of Chi
cago, ILL.,, on the 4th day Of July, 1869,
have made the following declaration
of principles ...
1st. Resolved, That it is the duty of
the Irish people in this Republic, and
of all men over the world, to give their
support to those who on principle
contest for the rights of all to perfect
liberty, without regard to race, color,
creed or sex.
I'd. Resolved, That loyalty to the
American Republic is a fixed and un-
alterable determination to stand by
the only free government on earth,
and to preserve and defend it against
the attacks naturalization of all its
enemies, is the first political duty
which the Irish citizens of this cOun-
try are called upon to discharge.
Sd. Resolved, That to spread princi-
pies Of freedom is a duty we owe to our
selves and to the oppressed people of
the earth, and one which, by all
means consists with international OBJ
legations, we are bound to discharge.
4th. Resolved, That we ask for the
oppressed people of our native land,
for Cuba and the dOwn-trOdden of all
enslaved lands, the sympathy and sup
port of the people and the Govern
ment of the United States.
5th. Resolved, That we protest
against the presence of the armed des-
pOtism of Europe on this continent,
and pledge our hearty cooperation to
any plan adopted for their removal.
9Th. Resolved. That to Senators
Sumner of Massachusetts, and Chan
dler of Michigan, we tender our
thanks for the noble efforts made by
them to secure Justice for the insults
and injuries inflicted by England on
this country, and which are known
as the Alabama claims, and that we
declare our readiness to stand by the
government in insisting upon an am
pie apology for the wrong committed,
and full compensation for the loss sus-
tanned.
7th. Resolved, That Free Trade,
falsely so called, is a cunning and sell
fish device Of the enslayers of man
kind, saps the very foundation Of
American prosperity and indepen-
denee, and that we in the interest Of
the entire American people, claim full
and adequate legislative protection to
American industry for those only who
maintain the principle Of protection
and who will make honest efforts to
embOdy it I'm q protective tariff should
the votes Of the Irish men in America
be given.
Sth. Resolved, That the tendency
which induces 50 many to neglect the
cultivation Of the soil and cOngregate
in great cities we mark as an evil, and
one which cOlsigns many Of the Irish
people Of this country to lifelong mis-
cry. We therefore declare our deter
mination 70 take measures to afford
facilities to our cOuntrymen TO settle
down in the free and fertile lands Of
this great and glorious country.
9Th. Resolved, That we rejoice in
the triumphant success Of the Repub-
publican cause at the late Presidential
election, and pledge to President
Grant our cordial and earnest support
in preserving and defending the great
principles Of human liberty at home
and abroad.
10th. Resolved, That the existing
neutrality laws being instrumental
only in aiding the mOnarchies of the
earth in sustaining their oppressive
system of government, and having on
various occasions, placed the Ameri-
can GOvernmentin in the ananlolOus Do
sitiOn Of using their power for the
support Of said governments, and Sc
curing only in return active and omen
hostility for the British Government.
we hereby pledge ourselves to labor
Tor their entire repeal.
