How cruel the Penal Laws are which exclude me from a fair trial with men whom I look upon as so much my inferiors...

Gentlemen, you may soon have the alternative to live as slaves or die as free men

Good God! what a brute man becomes when ignorant and oppressed! Oh, Liberty, what horrors are perpetrated in thy name! May every virtuous revolutionist remember the horrors of Wexford!
