In few days, it is said, the following de-
claration will be sent, for signatures through
the country:
We, the undersigned inhabitants Of Ireland
believing that the Legislative Union between
Great Britain and iceland has proved detri

ment OF the rights OF conscience or exclusion
from political power OF any class OF lrishmen
on account OF their religious faith.
