TIoN-sPEHCH OF MR.. DIsRAELI-TIIE MOTION
SUPPORTED BY 81 syoTEs-Irs REJECTION BY A
LARGE MAJORITY.
LONDON, Friday, July Q, 1874
In tho House of Commons last night the discus
sion of DR.. Butts Home Rule motion resumed.
Mr.. Daniel ODonoghue, member for Tralee, said
the Home Rule movement miserable COM
promise, cOncocted by those who did not dare to
face the penalties of Fenianism. lie acknowledged
the desire of England to cOnciato Ireland, and
said that perseverance IN this agitation would
be in defiance of gratitude, justice, and
common sense. He said that the ultimate
object of the leaders of the movement to mcite
Irshmen to force the repeal of the Union, and their
success would plunge Ireland in civil war, and
annul the recent progress in that country. He
said further, that if England continued 20
remove every pretext for the plea of ms
government in Ireland, the result would be the
dsgraceful failure of the movement. He firmly
believed its success would bring ruin to the interests
of every man in Ireland
Mr. Robert Lowe, member for the University OF
London said the establishment Of local Irish Par
Lament would involve the necessity Of similar
bodies in Scotland, and the result would be constant
disputes and difficulties
Mr.. Disraeli was unable TO agree that Ireland had
right to greater amount OF self-goVernment
than Scotland or England. He demonstrated
the groundlessness of the camplaint that
Hishmen were not appointed to high offices
Of the Government, and denied that
Ireland was treated as a conquered country. He
said that two separate parlaments would be con-
stantly in collision The minority in the Irish Par
lament would be always appealing to the Imperial
Parliament. He opposed the motion because it was
injurious to both countries.
At the great crisis of the world, which was nearer
than some supposed he wished the people to be
united To accept this motion would produce disin-
tegration in England and might result in the de-
struction of the Empire.
Messrs Mccarthy, Mitchell, Nolan, The OConner
Don, and others, spoke in support of the motion
