Extracts Of Speech Delivered ID
Dublin at the Formation Of
Branch Of Gaelic LEAGUE.

More than 300 years ago the English
poet, Spencer, advised English states
men to crush out Irish: tear out their
Irish tongues" said Spencer, "for if
the tongue be Irish the heart must
needs be Irish, too"
Certainly, as the tongue is, so shall
the heart be; if the speech be Irish
the spirit will be Irish, but if the
speech be English, then the spirit will
be that of the Daily Sketch or the
Dublin Independent.
Seventy or eighty years ago this
principle was we'll understood by the
people; there was then strong cur
rent of Irish nationality, so strong
that people thought it could never die.
There were wise Irishmen then who
recognized that the real spirit of Irish
nationality was enshrined in the Ian
guage, and they knew that if the Ian
guage died the spirit of nationality
would decay and soon die out. But,
unfortunately, we have men today,
protested leaders of Irish nationality,
who either do not know, or who dis.
regard this great principle of national
existence. Let us compare the prin.
ciples of Thomas Davis, John Mitchell,
or even of Daniel O'Connel with those
professed by Irish politicians today,
and we can then see how far we have
drifted. If we allow the language to
go, we will simply drift further, until
all national spirit and ideals disap-
pear, and our ancient nation becomes
mere province-just a back garden
of the British Empire, if that EN-
pire survives the present struggle.
If then we want to retain our name
and nation; if we wish to keep up the
spirit of Irish nationality, we must
keep the language and work to restore
it; and any man in Ireland, no matter
what his position may be, who does
not help in some way in saving the
language, then you may be quite sure
that man knows little and cares less
for the principles of Irish nationality.
A branch of the Gaelic League was
organized and it was arranged that
lessons in the Irish language and Irish
history be given every Sunday.
