Ils I. and the Impressive silence of the " Nfll voice , sience , deleg.tes made a Icep Impression as he proceeded ceedel . to real under thu title of a "Declara- ton of Principles" the following : The people of Ireland are a sovereIgn ! \ people. Ireland Is by nature separate from Is the birth- every other country , and liberty right of her people. Ireland was known throughout Europe as a nation long before the dawn of ChrlstUly ali was the home nf civilization whlh England was stl bar- barous. "England's claims to Ireland orIginated In force and have been maintained by corruption - tion and coercion : they have never rIpened Into a right to rule ; the title by conquest hal never been perfected ( inasmuch as the Irish people have conttuonsly by constitutional movements resisted - and revolutionary movementi agitation an revolutonary agiaton < sisted gngland's power and endeavored to _ destroy - her unlawful supremacy . . ; , " lroland Is deprlve:1 : of almost every CVI : right which the American people most dearly cherish. Unexampled , cruelty and brutal vin- dictivet ess have been the distinguishing feat- , urea of Fpglish : rule In Ireland. England I has destroyed Ireaml's ! industrIes ali ruined her her commerce ; she hqs placed upon statute books laws making I a crime to educate an Irish chIld ; she burned Ireland's school houses and destroyed her churches ; schOI she has driven Into exile , or left to perish < whose In her dungeons , thousands of men only crime was love of Ireland. Every measure for the last century looking toward legislative independence of the Irish people has either suffered defeat ( In the Commons or been clher sufered rejected hy the Lords. arhlrarly England has violated every treaty and broken - every pledge , and with almost every rear of " ' the century she has Imposed upon Ireland . brutal laws of coercion , and one of the most drastic character Is now upon her statute books nESpONDm WITH TIm SCOUItGE. "To the pleJs ) of the eoplo ! for justice and their Prayers for mercy England has re- SIJoIde,1 , wih the scourge and the Scaffold , and yet today , Ireland enthralled , but not enslaved I , crushed , but not conquered , Is In spirit a nation. "It. has become evident otter many years of earnest tnietvor to obtain 1 measure of independence - dependence from the English government by ! . paleful : < agitation that appeals to reason for. justice are futlie. I Is left , therefore , for \ . the men of the Irish race to proclaim again ' . ' I the trnth recorded by all history that the 0' ( ilibertics of a people and the IndepelHlence of a nation cannot be achieved by debate but must be won upon the foil of battle . and we declare our belief that the men of Ireland who are being llrlven Into exile or Into the graves of serfs In their native land by Engl h misrule arc entitled hy the laws ] of God and man to use every means In their power to drive from t hell country the tyrant and usurper , and we believe that Ireland had the right to make Englaiitl'a dlmculy her op- portuniy and to use all possible means to CI tate that dUilculty. _ "II view ot these facts the members of this convention app al with conthlelce to their American fellow citizens and alt lovers of liberty to co-operato with them In aiding the people of ireland 11 the achievement of th 'same measure of liberty enjoyed In these United States.
