IRISH AND REPUBLICANISM.
(To the Editor.) Sir,—l cannot understand how any Irishman can be a Republican. Why, we all:claim to be descendants of kings. All our traditions of loyalty, patriotism, clanship, are inseparably twined round the*old Irish regime, which shed such jlory on Mother Erin: besides we can trace descent' in an unbroken line from those great chieftains, our Milesian forefathers, so that it is no vain boast which ire proclaim, as anybody who reads "A History of the Irish Clan Chieftains and Old Families," can witness. A recent issue of this valuable look las been added to Irish literature in our library. In this age when the question- of "Who's who?" is often it is something to remember the *°rds of the Irish bard: Ana wheresoe'er a scion of those great old 7. m. honses be > in tne-country of his fathers or the land . the sea, in "ty-or in hamlet, by the valley, on the Hie spirit of his brave old sires is watching ocr aim still. 1 etc, ERINEAN.
