that of a Conquered province or of an integral portion of
the British Empire! Such an " independence" as
that which is contemplated under the insidious term of
"Repeal of the Legislative Union," cannot be tolerated
by Great Britain, and must be absolutely fatal to the
people, upon whom it is sought to be conferred. It
must be resisted, and it will be resisted, by all the
energies, and the vast power of the British nation.
But how are these to be applied ? In what mode are

The loyal Protestants of Ireland, we believe, could
effect in one month, with comparatively little blood-
shed--could effect, legally and constitutionally—what
a British army, at the expense of an ocean of blood,
oldu find it difficult in accomplishing. Nay, we are
sure
that the mere demonstration of the resolve of
the British government and people to place the defence
hiahof Ireland in the hands of the loyal portion of its own
abitants would not, of itself, contribute to prevent
e outbreak which we contemplate. It is much to be
questioned whether one half of the very mobs who
