civilization when eng laud was still barbarous eug eng lands claim to authority over ireland originated in force and has been maintained by corruption and coercion they have hate never ripened into the right to rule the title by conquest has never been perfected inasmuch as the irish people have continuously by bj constitutional agitation of revolutionary movements resisted england le power and endeavored to destroy her unlawful supremacy ireland is deprived of almost every civil right which the american people most moat dearly cherish U ui L exampled cruelty and brutal van have been the distinguishing features of english rule in ireland england has destroyed ireland 8 industries dus tries and ruined her bar commerce she ehe has placed upon our statute book laws jaws making it a crime
