AN ULSTERMAN FOR IRELAND
stand folding your hands in helpless "loyalty," and while every nation in Christendom is seizing on its birthright with armed hand will you take patiently, with your rations of yellow meal, your inevitable portion of eternal contempt?
If this be your determination, Protestants of Ulster, then make haste; sign addresses of loyalty and confidence in Lord Clarendon, and protest, with that other lord, your unalterable attachment to "our venerable institutions."
John Mitchel.
(From the "United Irishman" of May 13. 1848).
