Manifesto from Lord BcaconSfield.
LONDON, March 9th.-Fhe following is the
text of Lord Beaconstield's letter to the Duke
of Marlborough:
10 DOWNING STREET, March g. 1880.
My Lord Duke: The measures respecting the
state OF Ireland which her Majestys Government
have 50 anxiously considered with your ENcellency,
and in which they were much aided by your advice
and authority, are now about 20 be submitted for
Royal assent and it is at length in the power Of the
Ministers to advise the Queen 70 to the
OF her people. The arts OF the agitators which rep
resented that England instead Of being generous
and sympath2ing friend Indifferent to the dan
ger and suferngs of Ireland, have been defeated by
measures at once liberal and prudent which Parlil-
ment almost unanimously sanctioned. During the six
years of the present administration the improve
ment of Ireland and the content of our feow-coun-
trynen CT that island have much occupied the care
of the Ministry, and they may remember with sat
sfaction that in this period they have solved one Of
the ost difficult problems connected with its gov
ernment and people by establishing system of pub
lie educ aton open to all classesand all creeds Never
theless danger i'll its ultimate results scarcely less
dangerous than pes Hence and famine, and which
now engages your Excellencys anxious attention,
distract, that country portion OF the population
is attempting to sever the constitutional tie which
unites it TO Great Britain in that bond which has
favored the power and prosperity Of both 1t is to
be hoped that all men OF light and leading will resist
this destructive doctrine The strength OF this
nation depends the unity of feeling which should
pervade the United Kingdom and the wide
spread dependencies The first duty of the
English Ministers should be to consolidate the
CO operation which renders Irresistible a COM
munity educated as our own in an equal
love OF liberty aud law and yet there some who
challenge the expediency of the imperial char
acter Of this realm. Having attempted and failed
sition they may perhaps now recognize the dsinte-
grafton of the United Kingdom, mode which will
not only accomplish but precipitate their purpose
The immediate dissolution of Parliament will afford
the nation to decide
which will Immediately influence its future fortunes
and shape its destiny. Rarely in this country has
there been occasion more critical. The power of
England and tie peace of Europe will largely de-
pend on the verdict of the country. Her Maiesty's
present ministers have hitherto been enabled
to secure that peace so necessary to the
welfare Of all civilized countries. and so
pecuIislIy the interest of our own but this
ineffable blessing cannot be obtained by passive
principle of non-interfsrence. Peace rests on the
presence, not to say asccndancy, of England in the
councils of Europe. Then at this momen. the doubt
supposed to be inseparsbe from popular election,
il it does not diminish, certainly arrests her infu
ence and is the main reason for not delaying the
appeal TO the national voice, whatever may be its
consequence TO her Maiestys present advisers.
Nav jt return to Westminster Parliament not IN
worthy Of the power of England, and resolved TO
maintain 1t. ! have the honor to be- my Lord
Duke your faithful servant, BEACOSSFlkLD.
