Excerpt from The Irish Position in British and in Republican North America: A Letter to the Editors of the Irish Press Irrespective of Party

In What I have to say, I own' at once I bear the testimony of a minority only of the Irish in N orth America. But the minority With Whom my views coincide is upt so small as some here and in Ireland may imagine. Many are silent from a constitutional distaste of controversy - many from a weak desire for their own personal ease and tranquillity - many from downright disgust of all things Irish, of a polemical sort. But our minority includes in its numerous ranks, so far as I know, all the Catholic Bishops, and a vast majority of the Priests of Irish origin in North America includes a majority of all our well-toldo settled agriculturists our men iof business, and professional men; includes all the influential and wealthy Irish Protestant population includes almost all, I ob serve, of those who have won on this side the Atlan tic any distinction in literary or politico-literary pur suits. The voice of such a minority, not rashly raised, will not; I am satisfied, be lightly regarded; and of this voice, I dare to assert, I shall be found in this letter the faithful interpreter.
