I swear by almighty God, by all In beavea

holy church, by tha blessed Virgin Mary
mother of God, by her sorrow and grief at th
cross, by her tears and waitings, by the holy
apostle St. Peter and Paul, by the glorious
apostle of Ireland St. Patrick by tha

holy national martyrs, to fight upon th
Irish soil, to fight for the Independence of
Ireland to fight until I die, wading In the
red gore of the Sassenach (Protestant) for
the glorious cause of nationality! to fight
until not a single vestlf e, track or footstep.
Is left to tell that the holy soil of Ireland
was ever trodden by the Sassenach tyrant
and murderers; and, morover, when the
Protestant robbers ana orute 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,
and take England, and root out every ves
tige of the accursed blood of the heretic
adulterer, Henry VIII., and possess our
selves of the beast who have so long kept
our island of saints Old Ireland In the
chains of bondage.drl ven us from her shore,
exiles Into foreign lanas. I will wade In th
blood of Orangemen and heretic (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. W
shall cot 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 tuy eyes blinded, not
knowing who to me administer this oath
Oath of the Clan-na-Gael.
The following is the oath taken bj
the members of that famous Romish

fend a republican form of government In
Ireland; that 1 will keep secret the name
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 tha same.
That I will preserve , the funds 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,

Irish I take this obligation without any
mental reservation, holding the same forever
binding upon me, and that any violation
thereof, or desertion of my duty to the
brotherhood Is infamous, and merits the
severest punishment, so help me God."
