"I swear by almighty God, by all In heaves

holy national martyrs, to fight upon th
Irish soli, to fight for the Independence of
Ireland to fight until I die, wading In th
red gore of the Bassenach (Protestant) for
the glorious cause of nationality; to fight
until not a single vestige, track or footstep.
Is left to tell that the holy soil of Ireland
was ever trodden by the Bassenach tyrants
and murderers; and, morover, when th
Protestant robbers ana orutes in Ireland
shall be murdered and drtvea Into the tea
Ilk 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 beasts who have so long kept
our Island of saints Old Ireland in the
chains of bondage, driven us from her shores,
exiles Into foreign Unas. I will wade In th
blood of Orangemen and 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. W
shall cot give up until we have restored out
holy faith all over the British Isles.
To all of this I sing erely and conscien
tiously swear with my eyes blinded, not
knowing who to me administer this oath
Oath of the Clan-na-Gael.
The following is the oath taken by
the members of that famous Romish
Catholic society:
"I (name In full) do solemnly swear In tt
presence of Almighty God, that I will labor,
while life Is left In me to establish aad de
fend a republican form of government In
Ireland; that I 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 the 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,
brotherly love, nationality, among all
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."
This oath the candidate is abjured to
keep at the hazzard of his life. It was
printed in the Chicago Inter Ocean and
was sworn to be correct at the Cronin
trial. It was reported by said paper
