The Ft'iilun'u Oath.
"I swear by ulmlghty God, by all In heaven
aud earth, by the holy prayer-book of my
holy church, by the blessed Virgin Mary
mother of God, by her sorrow and grief at the
cross, by her tears and waitings, by the holy
apostles St Peter and Paul, by the glorious
apostle of Ireland St Patrick by the
blessed and holy church of all ages, by the
holy national martyrs, to fight upon the
Irish soli, to tight for the Independence of
Ireland to fight until I die, wading In the
redgoreof the Sassenach (Protestant) for
the glorious cause of nationality; to fight
until not a single vestige, track or footstep,
Is left to tell that the holy soli of Ireland
was ever trodilen by the Sassenach tyrant
and murderers; and, morover, when the
Protestant rubbers auu oriues in Ireland
shall be murdered and driven Into the sea
like the swine our Lord Jesus Christ caused
to be drowned, then we shall embark for,
aud take England, and root out every ves
tige of the accursed blood of the heretlo
adulterer, Henry VIII., and possess our
selves of the betsts who have so long kept
our Island of saints Old Ireland In the
chains of bondage, drlveu us from her shores,
exiles Into foreign lands. I will wade In the
blood of Orangemen 2nd heretics (Protest
ant) who do not join us and become our
selves.
Scotland too, having given aid and succor
to the beast, we shall live In her gore. We
shall not give up until we have restored our
holy faith all over the British Isles.
To all of this I sincerely and conscien
tiously swear with my eyes blinded, not
knowing who to me administers this oath
Oath of the Clan-na-Gael.
The following ia the oath taken by
the members of that famous Romish
Catholic society:
"I (name In full) do solemnly swear In tie
presence of Almighty God, that I will labo
while life Is left In me to establish and de
fend a republican form of government In
Ireland; that I will keep secret the names
and everything connected with the Irish
brotherhood from all not entitled to know
such secrets; that I will obey and comply
with the constitution and laws of the same,
that I will preserve the futds of this
order for the cause of Irish revolution alone
as specified In the constitution; that I will
deem It my special duty and mission to
promote and foster sentiments of union,
brotherly love, nationality, among all
Irish. 1 take this obligation without any
mental reservation, holding the same forever
binding upon me, and that any violation
H ereof, or desertion of my duty to the
brotherhood Is Infamous, and merits the
severest punishment, so help me God."
This oath the candidate is abjured to

was sworn to be correct at the Cronin
trial. It was reported by said paper
