Journal declares that the new bill is
one Of the most tyrannical instru-
ments of modern times, and that it
is, perhaps, the fercest coercion act
ever proposed for Ireland. The
champions of liberty, since the assas

helpless. It will be their duty to
withstand the bill, though they may
be defeated.

night, on the repression bill, Mr.

Irish annals wee stained with assas'
snation. No Englishman felt the
humiliation more than himself, bu
be declared it did not rest on The
Irish b cory. but on Forster. 1
the government sent another man tC
Irels ID to carry out measure simi-
lar to that under which Forster
acted, such an accursed act would
again sully the pages of history.
