The aeIf-CIaImed AssassIns of
CaVendish and Burke.

CaVendish and Burke.
New York, ia special dispatch
from Dublin says the following
proclamation has been issued by
the IriSh-Republican Brotherhood:
GOD SAVE IRELAND.
DUBLIN, May S.
To the Irish People and all Logers
Of Liberty, Particularly to our
Brothers Of the -RepubZtca7z
brotherhood and Kindred Organ
iSGtiO7lS'
AS there seems a grave misunder-
standing as TO the aim and scope of
the late executions at Dublin, we, the
executive of the Irish-Republican
Brotherhood, hereby request all .
the aforesaid to withhold
their opinion of this matter
for the present and refrain from ex-
pressionS Of sympathy at public
meetings, which tend to humiliate
Ireland and give aid and comfort
to England. As to the monster,
Burke, he had preyed on the lives
and liberties of his countrymen for
many years and had deserved death
a thousand times at our hands, and
as to Lord Frederick Cayendish,
lineal defendant Of the famous Lord
Brougham. who hanged the gallant
and patriotic Mace Agan, bishop
Of Ross, at CarTigadrOid. because
he would not betray his country,
his very name stinks in the nostrilS
of the Irish people by the iniquities
of his brother, Lord Harrington, and
the wholesale eVictiOns of his father,
the Duke of Devonshire, thereby
driving thousands of the rightfuI
owners Of the soil to the poor
house, to exile and to death. This
organization has tolerated the vaga-
rieS of Parnell and his safe treason
mongers until he has filed the bas-
tiles Of our country with victims Of
useless parliamentary agitation.
which left 10000 persons homeless
last year, and drove millions of the
flower of our people to exile. This
ceases to be harmless when truce
is made by which he himself and
his friends are allowed to go free,
and eighty of Ireland's bravest sons
ara left to languish in the prison, to
be exiled or aSsassinated, and these
men who, by sO-called outrages,
opened the prison doors to Parnen
and his friends. If England really
wished to deal fairly by Ireland,
why not issue a general amnesty,
by which the prison doors would be
opened, and thousands Of our exiled
brethren who now pine in foreign
lands, could return in safety
and honor. Instead of this
| Gladstone sent emissaries to
the venerated head of the Cath.
Ollie church who, by lies and false
representations, have deprived
thousands Of our poor prosecuted
people of the comforts of religion
by turning our affairs into political
platforms. Let us ask the people
of Ireland, are there no classes Of
people to be considered except
farmers and Of what avail will it
be to Ireland if a selfish class is
firmly rooted in the soil and be-
comes thoroughly loyal to England.
We ask our friends In America to
ponder upon our desperate circum-
stances, to think Of brave and hon
orable people driven to despair by
witnessing the white bos0ms Of
women torn open by the bayOnets
Of English mercenaries, and our
children Of tender years shot down
in the highways, while our
walls Of anguish are stifed
in blood. We are convinced
that no true prosperity can exist in
Ireland so long as England pos
sesses her custom houses there, al
| lowing her manufactures to pass
free, thereby leaving our Irish me-
chanics unemployed and an enOr-
nous war tribute eXacted in Eng
land; taking away the produce of
the land and thereby forcing the
Irish people to starYe.
Now, furthermore, we call upon
all our brethren in America, par
ticularly advanced nationalists.
to aid, by every means within their
power, the men who have carried
out this execution; and we hereby
further declare they deserve we'll of
their country
