The following the address issued by the friends OF

MEN Of Tipperary-Gallantly and noby have you
truly do You interpret the feelings that swell to bursting
the full heart of Ireland mourning for her cruelty tortured
Unto death, and in suferngs far worse than the most
dreadful death have those noble men proved Their
unselhsh love Of Motherand What tongue can TELL wha
words describe the mental tOrures tha nave nseateu
from her throne What the yscal rom
which victims have found refuge IN the gfaNef
Greater love than this no man hath, that man lay
his life for his friend! Even more than life have
those laid down for their country For we are as
sured by one who suffered he would far rather meet
death than endure for three months what he suffered
in prison What love then does not Ireland owe them in
reurnl Nor has she been unmndful OF them but, hum
bling herself in the dust the petition OF the nation Tor
their release containing 100000 Names was laid at the
feet Of the Queen Her humble petition was spurDed
with contempt For months the nation mOurned IN ST.
lence Again she aroused herself 10 another effort on
behalf of her suffering sons and at the amnesty meetings
the full heart OF the country sent up TO Heaven the cry
OF Ireland mourning for her children because they are
not And once again the PRAYER OF Ireland meets only
the heartless denial OF the English Minister and inc
threats and SCOTS OF the English press. And
now, ere she folds her hands III solemn and
digned silence leaving the cause Of outraged humanity
GOD and the civilized world, Ireland by the voice OF
noble, gallant Tipperary, places record her protest
against the treatment OF political prisoners, and pro-
claims to the world that the English Ministers cruel re-
usa release them from their fortunes has ntenshed
her them and that their names shall hencefOrth
enshTined in the hearts Of their cOuntrymen, and be-
the watchwOTd and the rallynR TO which the
nation shall be reused action. In the name Of God
aud OF our suffering countTymenin the name OF human
ity and of lTeland-we call upon you men OF lpperary
to prove yourselves equal 10 the proud position the
voice Of Ireland assigns 10 you by electng ODonoyan
ROssa the most fitting person to represent you God
save Ireland ="
