Our army, which is now organised, is ready to serve the American republic in any part of the continent, and should the enforcement of of the Monroe doctrine need its aid will, either: on Irish oil or English ground, establish the fact that the intrepidity, the valor and deter ****mination of the Irish brigade will again prove the loyalty of Irishmen to the United States.

Whatever the nation that dares to interfore with American principles of liberty, be it Eng. land or any other foreign power, we are not- the men wood faith is that of the Irish National Alliance stand, ready to fight at any moment Weil 2 for the honour and for the rights of the couAL. ty of our adoption. This is the loyalty our man bear to the United States. We have proven it on mony a hard-fought full whither the enemies of the republic were Englishmen, Tories or robals.

As to car relations with England, we have no apologies to make, no excuse to offer. Should it be possible to sanbroll her with any power of the earth, we shall not begotata to to so. The chief object of the Irish National Alliance is to create the opportunity which will enabla ns to drive the British onemy from-Ire- land as it was driven from the United States. Bagland's cruelty, oppression and usurpation of the rights of American citizens histoned her utter defeat in America.

We pray that the day may scan come when wa, the eles of aur own land, shall assist in driving the foe to whom we hear nuending hatred from our island.
