nize the fact that the whole OF England is
convinced that the Government has dealt gen.
erously with ireland bat must resist the de-
mands of secessionists. Americans do not in
their hearts believe that all Englishmen are
hypocrltes and tyrants, and should consider the
effect of their reckless language and cease say.
