Ireland Is by nature separatefrom every other country, and liberty is the birthright of her people Ireland "ts knc«ti tb-oughofil Europe >:s a nation long before the dawn of Christianity, rad was the home of civilization while England was still barbarous. •■England s claims to authority in. Ireland i.riginaled In force and have been maintained by corruption and coercion: they have neve# ripened into a rght to rule: the title to the conquest has never been perfected, inasmuch as the Irieh people h. ve continually by constitutional agti.ti.on or revolutionary movements resisted England’s power and endeavored to destroy her unlawful supremacy. ■ Ireland is deprived of almost every, civil right which the American people most dearly cherish.- Cneximpied cruelty and brutal vindictiveness have I een the distinguishing features of English rule In Irej land England has destroyed Ireland’s industries and ruined her commerce: she has placed upon her statute books l<ws making It a crime to educate an Irish child-: she burned Inland’s school houses and de.stroyril ter' churches: she has driven into exile, or left to peri ih jn her dungeons thous: nds of men whose only crime was their late of IreUn.l. Every measure for the last century lookins; towards legislative in-'ependecce of the Irish people has either suffered defeat In the commons or been arbitrarily rejected by the lords England, has violated every treaty andtroken eviery"pledge, and with almost every vc-r of tie century she has Imposed upon Ireland brutal laws of coercion. : m one ol the most drastic character is now upon her statute hooks. •To the pleas of thi people for justice and their prayers for mercy. has responded With the scourge and the scaffold, and yet to-day. Ireland enthralled, but not enslaved, crushed, but not conquered. IS in , spirit a nation ..It has become evident, after many years of .• earnest endeavor to obtain a treasure of independtnee from the English government by pc. ceful agitation, that appeals to reason > lor justice are futile It is left, tberefore, for the men of the Irish race to proclaim ' rgaln tlie truth reror lel by all h slory that ; the ii’.citles of a people in the Independence I of a nation cannot be achieved by debate.
