DISLOYAL PROCLAMATION.

The following in hand-bill form was very extensively circulated in Sydney prior to tHe last Jubilee meeting :— I Republicans ! Roll up this (Wednesday) evening, at Half-past 7 o'clock, at the Ex_ibitibn building, and raise your voices against Imperialistic twaddle and sycojmantic gush. Remember, ; that every time you give "-three cheers for the .Queen?' you are assisting to perpetuate &syßte_a of government which is. totally opposed to the interests of the great mass'; of mankind. The meeting toaighff is not a question of "buns and Mk." Its object is to enable the promoters to cable " home" that the great Heart of New South Wales, is bursting with loyalty to its, beloved Queen (who, by the way, sent only her sympathy to the Bulli widows and orphana-rr-the colony paying for the cablegram which conveyed the information). JDefeat ' the object of the sycophants by voting against .the Jubilee pmohstratiOns, and thus encourage your oppressed and starving brethren in Englaadplreland, and Scotland to persevere ID their efforts to overthrow the Monarchy Snd establish a Republic ! 1)6 ; not ite. gulled by the statement that Great Britain would not have prospered to such an &xt§nfc under a Republic, as it has under thV'fifty years reign of our beloved and generous (?) Queen Victoria. Think of America, with her sixty millions of inhabitants; and only two hundred and fifty thou-M-dpaupers, and of Great Britain with her thirty-six million inhabitants, and one million and thirty-seven thousand poor. Aye, timk of it! jH America: Great Britain I IpJfyOOO persons, 36,000,000 persons, Kss»o paupers. 1,035,000 paupers.
