"Saxon—oppression—moral force—dagger—forefathers—revenge—first gem of

the sea—trampled upon—oh!—finest peasantry—Cromwell—slaughter—Erin's

daughters—blood boil—ah! cruelty—debt of 80,000,000—robbery—sacrilege

for 500 years—tyranny—be Irishmen—assert yourselves—pikes—iron bars on

the railways—moral force—be patient—repeal—hereditary bondsmen would you

be free?—pay in your subscriptions"—(_tremendous cheering!_)

the above (though that is not absolutely necessary), an excellent

Conciliation Hall speech, or a Monster Meeting harangue, inculcating

peace, quiet, and content, in the true Irish incendiary fashion, may be

produced during any month of the year, but if it is in the depth of the

winter, the effect, of course, is considerably stronger.—N.B. Patriots'

materials made up in the same way on the shortest notice.
