electorate of Ireland was 50 limited that it
was impossible 10 recognize its utterances
as the Voice of the nation. The members
were split into three par;ics-Parncllites,
Tories and Liberals. Now lroland's cleo

England will never repent giving
perfect equality 10 Ireland. We
must look step further for

probably in a vast majority in Ireland to
demand large power and self-goyernment.

the people of Ireland to suppose that any

principles connected with the honorable
