    The Fenians Threaten To Destroy The Gas ...

    The Fenians threaten to destroy the gas manufactories of London . They had better destroy the lamp-posts at the same time , lest J udge Lynch should take to ornamenting them with some of these brave patriots .

    We Believe That We May Venture To Contra...

    We believe that we may venture to contradict the report that the Chief Commissioner of Police has been authorised to pay a reward of fifty pounds to the intelligent officer who so nearly apprehended the man who lighted the squib at Clerkenwell —after he had done it .

    The Americans Are Anxious To Declare The...

    The Americans are anxious to declare the great and noble leaders who plan assassination for their dupes to execute , and who maim and murder women and children on the chance of getting one of their band out of prison , citizens of the United States—with all the privileges thereto appertaining : they are quite right ; there should be no mistake as to the real country of such heroes .

    If Any One Wishes To Understand What Tru...

    If any one wishes to understand what true Patriotism is , let him read the account of the proceedings at the Dublin Police Office on Monday the 16 th inst . Such a disgraceful scene has rarely taken place in any court of justice ; and the idea that to give evidence on behalf of the Crown in support of the cause of

    loyalty and order is a disgrace , exhibits a sensitive shame which none but an Irishman could possess . Sir John Gray should have known better than to countenance , directly or indirectly , such an exhibition as this procession . As for Mr . A . M . Sullivan , he is a blatant nuisance , and it was not to be expected

    that his vanity would allow him to miss the opportunity of " talking big , " and of trying to make himself out a man of sufficient importance for the Government to go out of their way to crush . We dare say when they do want to imprison Mr . A . M . Sullivan , it will not be hard to find a reason .

    Creatures like him who encourage the ignorant and reckless in sedition and outrage generally know pretty well how to . take care of themselves , but they are often forced by their own assumption and bluster into an overt act of turbulence which brings them within the province of the police .
