Signed by Daniel O’Connell and Theobald Mathew, Here are few phrases, from this call for the Irish people of America to “JOIN WITH THE ABOLITIONISTS EVERYWHERE.” ….. “Irishmen and Irishwomen! treat the colored people as your equals, as brethren. By all your memories of Ireland, continue to love liberty —- hate slavery — CLING BY THE ABOLITIONISTS — and in America, you will do honor to the name of Ireland.”
