cant minority OF Orangemrn, are fOndly anIicI-
Datlng. and ferNeniy praying, that the equitable

lean republic, residents OF It's western con-
divine inspiration, given by God TO man, love OF
that land which was the place Of our childhood.
and Notwithstanding Our most sacred devotion
and iralty to this land we sill cherish the hope

whereas, there are sim Incarcerated In Eng
LANDS penal dungeons many brave aud noble
hearted Irishmen who were convicted In

lmiiy IN the English mind had fed; whereas
