next deals with the purchase and sale
Of land in Ireland ana at the outset
acknowledges that the most power
full agent in bringing about the
defeat OF government was an aversion
to the land bill. The Siamese
twinship OF the two bills was put to
scorn by those for whose benefit il was
in great part designed, having been
deadly 10 both. He thinks il his duty
explicitly to ackno Wedge that the SEN
tence which has gone forth for the sew
erance Of .he two measures is irresis;
able, and that the twinship which has
been for q time disastrous TO the
hopes of Ireland, exists no longer.
At the same time, he hopes the

home rule have ever been the keenest
promoters of land purchase in the in

enemies of the land purchase bill;
instead of standing at their ease.

OF the bill lately con-ig1ed 70 them.
I Gladstone next discussed the Con-

ireland. 1t may reasonably lay claim,
he holds. to the Conservatives favor, for

domestic aspect to the commands
which, when proceeding from n re-
mote source, want their best passport
70 acceptance. He then proceeds 10
consider 70 which party he work IS re-
served. He docs not go beyond the ex-
/ preston of an undoubted belief that
the measure OF self -government not less
extensive N the proposal OF 1855 y
