SlR: The war that has broken out in Europe
and which believe is destined to involve the whole
continent, out Of which England cannot keep with
out loss of national honor and prestige, gives Ire
land the lonF.wishedfor opportunity II England is
involved That the Irish people ready to
brace 1t. the demonstration at Dublin, reported in
to-day's SUS, fully demonstrates. Now, then, Is
the time for the friends OF Ireland to bestir them
selves, lest the erandcs opportunity that ever pre-
scented itself for them TO shake Of the British yoke
viii have come and found them unprepared, and
have passed away, deepening the gloom OF her des-
pair aud the misery Of her condition.
At present there is no organized body Of Irish
nation aliss in this country equal TO the occasion
and one should be Immediately copsttuted-one,
too. which would com nand the respect and conf:
deuce Of the whole people Irish and American. !
therefore propose the revival Of the
IRISH DIRECTORY or '4s,
ns the best means Of embodynE the strength Of the
lfiSh nation in America, and propose the following
named gentlemen TO compose IT, namely:
