You rebelled against Its continuance. We feel It an nonor. therefore, to call you our countrymen.

You care set a noble example, and one which will not fall to be imitated until the wmto slavery of Ireland be an dead as the black slaverv of America. Under tho most terrible trials you have proved ronrselvc! worthy of tho land you lovej and of the liberty for which rou have contended. Those or uo who are of American tlrth regard you as the pioneers in the Old World of those eternal principles of right and freedom which Fathers of the Revolution triumphantly established iu America; and wo bid you God speed-while you labor lite them to free your country from foreign thraldom, and set it as another itar In the glorious constellation of universal Iberty. xour own experience Is a woeful demonstration of what monarchical despotism can do to oppress, If not to lestroy-the best and truest of our race. Ths condition of un- lappy France tells at this hour how successful a tyrannous fcntt proflisale government can work out tne ruin of a great and peoerous people.

Gladly do we receive you Into a land where such enormities are nntnown and Impossible and where the choieu ruler of torty millions of free people dla- charges Us hlch trust wlth'alruBlitTand faithfulness that are the surest pledges of the stability and elory of the American republic. See to It, yon hare seen so nrach of and suffered so much human despotism, tnat Its fell corruption shall never be permitted to poison the pure fountain or American freedom, or to affect the totesrity of Us civic, State or federal administration. You owe this to yourselves, to Ireland, to America. While we struggle and suffer lor freedom in our lative land let us never be tempted to affiliate with those in his land of our adoption who, for their own lolltleal purposes, endeavor to degrade our race j- making them instruments to destroy at tbe jallot boi that liberty In this country which was denied them In the land of their birth. Some of yon are already ourfellow citizens.

All of you will doubtless and in season become such. We grasp wita confidence the ands of both, for those who have already suffered so much or freedom and lored it so well are sure to continue its best and firmest friends, to resent and to resist any attempt to undermine or corrupt it and to be as firm and faithful In aelr allegiance to the land of their adoption as they were to the mud of their birth. We proudly -welcome vou to land of perfect libe'lv. Your great countryman," O'Conneil, refused to visit this ountry or to receive assistance from certain classes of its citizens because the curse of slavery prevailed within Its borders. That curre Is gone for ever, and we stand together to-day under that oeautiful flas wnich never was lowered before the foes of freedom, and which waves only over the free.

In the name of iie great American peonle we oucemo-e bid vou a cordial welcome. J. J. MILLSS, Chairman United Delegations of-L K. F.
