MEssRs. EDITORS If we take the
view of early all city papers, ireland
must continue to be what she has been
and what she is at present, IN oppressed
land.
Monarchies may continue to defraud
dependencies, enslave the people, crush
the life blood out of them, drive them to
Heath by pauperism and starvation,
cause them to commit crime, then i'm
prison or hang them. When people
cannot Obtain peace nor their rights,
what are they to do?
Ireland for several centuries, accord
ing to their history, has been struggling
against the oppression and tyranny OF
England. We have a government OF
our own, and Ireland ought to have the
same, and any one who stands in the
way Of its accomplishment should be
moved out Of il, whether King, Queen
Princes, mobiles, thrones or blue blood
no matter what if they are a hindrancr
I" freedom and liberty, they are moth
ing but usurpers, and if they cannot be
removed peaceably, why any means is
publicans in feeling and sentiment.
" One honest man is worth more in the
sight of freedom and liberty than all the
Titled ruifians that ever lived"
The people of Ireland are bound hand
and foot, and they may continue to be
bound if they remain quiet. They can
not wage war the life blood is Slapped
out of them they cannot raise an army,
or navy, nor money what then will
they do? There is but one resource
left them-the free use of the latest dis
covery in explosives. to blow up the
property, and lives, too, of their oppres-
sors and tyrants.
Dynamite is to be the means to revO-
lutionize the forms of war between ty-
rants in the old world. Let it com
mence in Ireland now.
I" But it will not do to punish the in
nocent for the guilty." is the sympathe-
tic cry of the friends of oppression, or
rather the enemies of Irish liberty. Let
the cry of Americans everywhere be-
Down with tyranny !
Let ns not forget that English oD-
preston is causing the innocent" to
bite the dust in Ireland to the number
Of hundreds, aye, thousands, daily, fore
ing them down to their graves with
starvation, or into exile for crime, or to
the hangman's rope. Let our sympa-
thies be on the side of the millions con-
tending for liberty. The innocent"
suffered century ago in our efforts for
freedom, but millions to-day receive
the benefit. The French revolution
gave the foundation to French liberty :;
many innocent suffered then, but mil
lions are in the glory of it to-day. The
innocent suffer everywhere, every day,
every way, by tornadOes, billiards.,
floods, fire, &C.. the capitalists make
the laborer suffer the strong take adj
vantage of the weak in a word, the
big fish eat the little fish at all times,
in all waters.
1t is a sad thought that liberty, our
birth-right, has always to he fought for
against tyrants and usurpers; therefore
let the oppressed everywhere make use
ot the hest means they can get hold Of;
the better, and the hest Just now is dv-
! fail to see the difference be-
tween few patriotic IrishInen con-
tending for freedom, with the chances
Of putting their oppressors to flight
upward, and an army Of fifty thousand
English fighting with gunpowder to
promote the interests Of tvrants. All
honor to patriots fighting for freedom
and liberty, and success TO them with
all the means that come within their
reach. All things to the contrary is IA
sickly sentimentality, unworthy of free
men. Yours, G.
