They believe that since the success of the long and gallant struggle which our fathers maintained against sectarian ascendancy, a NEW MIND has grown up amongst us, which longs to redress other wrongs and achieve other victories; and that this mind has found no adequate expression in the press. The Liberal Journals of Ireland were perhaps never more ably conducted than at this moment; but their tone and spirit are not of the present but the past;—their energies are shackled by old habits, old prejudices, and old divisions; and they do not and cannot keep in the van of the advancing people. The necessities of the country seem to demand a Journal able to aid and organise the new movements going on amongst us—to make their growth deeper, and their fruit 'more racy of the soil'— and, above all, to direct the popular mind and the sympathies of educated men of all parties to the great end of nationality. Such a Journal should be free from the quarrels, the interests, the wrongs, and even the gratitude of the past. It should be free to apply its strength where it deems best— free to praise—free to censure; unshackled by sect or party; able, Irish, and independent. Holding these views, the projectors of the <i>Nation</i> cannot think that a Journal, prepared to undertake this work, will be deemed superfluous; and as they labour, not for themselves but for their country, they are prepared, if they do not find a way open, to try if they cannot make one. Nationality is their first object—a nationality which will not only raise our people from their poverty, by securing to them the blessings of a domestic legislature, but inflame and purify them with a lofty and heroic love of country—a nationality of the spirit as well as the letter—a nationality which may come to be stamped upon our manners, our literature, and our deeds—a nationality which may embrace Protestant, Catholic, and Dissenter, Milesian and Cromwellian, the Irishman of a hundred generations, and the stranger who is within our gates; not a nationality which would preclude civil war, but which would establish internal union and external independence—a nationality which would be recognised by the world, and sanctified by wisdom, virtue, and time.<sup id="cite_ref-John_Mitchel_1908._pg_3_5-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-John_Mitchel_1908._pg_3-5"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>5<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> </blockquote> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Charles_Gavan_Duffy_1846.JPG" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/6/6b/Charles_Gavan_Duffy_1846.JPG/220px-Charles_Gavan_Duffy_1846.JPG" decoding="async" width="220" height="368" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/6/6b/Charles_Gavan_Duffy_1846.JPG/330px-Charles_Gavan_Duffy_1846.JPG 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/6/6b/Charles_Gavan_Duffy_1846.JPG/440px-Charles_Gavan_Duffy_1846.JPG 2x" data-file-width="606" data-file-height="1014" /></a><figcaption><a href="/wiki/Charles_Gavan_Duffy_(Australian_politician)" class="mw-redirect" title="Charles Gavan Duffy (Australian politician)">Charles Gavan Duffy</a></figcaption></figure> <p>As could be seen from the prospectus, as political objectives went, the programme was certain to be of immense assistance to Daniel O'Connell in his efforts to revive the agitation for Repeal,<sup id="cite_ref-6" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-6"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>6<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> but O'Connell also knew and felt that he was receiving, for the present, a powerful support from them; but he knew also, that they were outside of his influence, and did not implicitly believe that Repeal would be yielded to "<a href="/wiki/Political_demonstration" title="Political demonstration">agitation</a>"; that they were continually seeking, by their writings, to arouse a military spirit among the people; showing plainly, that while they helped the Repeal Association, they fully expected that the liberties of the country must be fought for in the end: it was in appearance only that they worked in harmony.<sup id="cite_ref-7" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-7"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>7<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:John_Mitchel_(Young_Ireland).JPG" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/0/0a/John_Mitchel_%28Young_Ireland%29.JPG/220px-John_Mitchel_%28Young_Ireland%29.JPG" decoding="async" width="220" height="354" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/0/0a/John_Mitchel_%28Young_Ireland%29.JPG/330px-John_Mitchel_%28Young_Ireland%29.JPG 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/0/0a/John_Mitchel_%28Young_Ireland%29.JPG/440px-John_Mitchel_%28Young_Ireland%29.JPG 2x" data-file-width="577" data-file-height="928" /></a><figcaption><a href="/wiki/John_Mitchel" title="John Mitchel">John Mitchel</a> became the lead writer of the nation on the death of Davis</figcaption></figure> <p><a href="/wiki/John_Mitchel" title="John Mitchel">John Mitchel</a> joined the staff of <i>The Nation</i> in the autumn of 1845.<sup id="cite_ref-T._F._O'Sullivan_8-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-T._F._O'Sullivan-8"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>8<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> On Mitchel's frequent trips from <a href="/wiki/Banbridge" title="Banbridge">Banbridge</a>, <a href="/wiki/County_Down" title="County Down">Co Down</a> to Dublin, he had come in contact with the Repeal members who gathered about <i>The Nation</i> office and in the spring of 1843 he became a member of the <a href="/wiki/Repeal_Association" title="Repeal Association">Repeal Association</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-W._Dillon_9-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-W._Dillon-9"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>9<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> For the next two years Mitchel wrote political and historical articles and reviews for <i>The Nation</i>.

In 1847, when he severed his connection with <i>The Nation</i>, he wrote, "I had watched the progress of the famine policy of the Government, and could see nothing in it but a machinery, deliberately devised, and skillfully worked, for the entire subjugation of the island—the slaughter of portion of the people, and the pauperization of the rest", and he had therefore "come to the conclusion that the whole system ought to be met with resistance at every point, and the means for this would be extremely simple, namely, a combination among the people to obstruct and render impossible the transport and shipment of Irish provisions; to refuse all aid to its removal; to destroy the highways; to prevent everyone, by intimidation, from daring to bid for grain and cattle if brought to auction under 'distress' (a method of obstruction which put an end to Church tithes before); in short, to offer a passive resistance universally; but occasionally, when opportunity served, to try the steel." To recommend such a course would be extremely hazardous, and was besides in advance of the revolutionary progress made up to that time by Mr. Duffy, the proprietor of <i>The Nation</i>, Mitchel therefore resigned from the journal, and started his own paper, <i>The United Irishman</i>.<sup id="cite_ref-T._F._O'Sullivan_8-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-T._F._O'Sullivan-8"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>8<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>Women wrote for the paper, and published under pseudonyms such as Mary (<a href="/wiki/Ellen_Mary_Patrick_Downing" title="Ellen Mary Patrick Downing">Ellen Mary Patrick Dowling</a>); Speranza (Jane Elgee, <a href="/wiki/Lady_Wilde" class="mw-redirect" title="Lady Wilde">Lady Wilde</a>, <a href="/wiki/Oscar_Wilde" title="Oscar Wilde">Oscar Wilde</a>'s mother), known universally as "Speranza" of <i>The Nation</i>; and Eva (<a href="/wiki/Mary_Eva_Kelly" title="Mary Eva Kelly">Mary Eva Kelly</a>, who would marry <a href="/wiki/Kevin_Izod_O%27Doherty" title="Kevin Izod O'Doherty">Kevin Izod O'Doherty</a>).
