| Transcript | IRILH [Irish?] AMERICAN INVASION._ A correspondent of the Dublin Daily Express has forwarded to that journal an extract from a letter written by an Irish emigrant from the County Mayo, and now resident at Pigua, Ohio. The correspondent says that an invasion of Ireland, by the Roman Catholic emigrants in America some time during the next summer, is a matter confidently spoken of among the lower classes in the locality where he resides. The following is the extract alluded to:- "The Irish Americans are going home next summer to visit their native country, in their American uniform, well armed. What will happen I know not. I would like to be one of their number. There will be seven ship loads, and they are to land in Galway. It is our opinion you will see Ireland free before this day twelve months. You will see hot work there next summer. The Irish-Americans will try to free it if possible?" |
