Since the doomed Revolution of 1782 I find there have been many others, 1848, 1916 and more besides. Yet so little is changed!
For still today the Government of Ireland in the base, wicked and contemptible hands who had spent their lives plundering and degrading Ireland... Who of the veteran enemies of the country lost his place, or his pension? Not one.
The power remained in the hands of our enemies, again to be exerted for our ruin, with this difference, that, formerly, we had our distresses gratis at the hands of England, but now we pay very dearly to receive the same with aggravations at the hands of Irishmen-yet this we boast of and call a Revolution, a Republic!
Mine aims remain these: To subvert the tyranny of our execrable government, the never-failing source of all our political evils, and to assert the independence of my country.
Huzzay!
