AN ULSTERMAN FOR IRELAND
let me know there are ten thousand fighting men in Dublin "felons" in heart and soul.
I thank GOD for it. The game is afoot at last. The liberty of Ireland may come sooner or later, by peaceful negotiation or bloody conflict—but it is sure; and wherever between the poles I may chance to be, I will hear the crash of the downfall of the thrice-accursed "British Empire."
Your friend and fellow-countryman,
JOHN MITCHEL.
