ROCK ISLAND, WEDNESDAY,. JUNE 3. 1856.

COUNTRIES, anu HHu IL you can singie
book, find, would almost say, as much as
a single newspaper, article, in which the
conduct of England toward Ireland is any
where treated except with profound and
bitter condemnation Are these the tradi-
tons by which We are expected to stand:
Oh, they are a sad exception to the glory
OF our country. Cheers They are more
than ablack blot upon the pages of its
history. And what We want to do is to
stand by th4 t. additions of which we are the
heirs in all matters except our relations
with Ireland, ana to make our relations
with Ireland conform to the other tradi
tions of our country. Cheers So we treat
our traditions; so We hail the demand of
Ireland for what call the blessed oblivion
of the past She asks also, boon for the
future, and that boon for the future unless
we are much mistaken, will he boon to us
in respect to honor no less than boon to
her in respect TO happiness, prosperity and
speace. lCheers.l Think, l beseech you,
think well, think wisely, think not for the
moment, but for the years that are to come,
before you reiect our plan" Loud and en-
thu5astic cheering
The division occurred Immediately after
Gladstone sat down, and resulted in ma
jority of thirty against the second reading,
and upon the announcement the house went
wild Cheers of the Conservatives were met by
counter cheers from the Parnellites and for
some time pandemonium seemed to have
broken loose. When quiet was restored,
Mr.. Gladstone, in voice that trembled,
moved an adjournment, to which, after
some more boisterous proceeding was
agreed to
The majority against the government--30
votes-was more decisive than Gladstone S
friends had expected There were only
eighteen absentees. The vote stood 81 for
home rule and Itl against. The speeches OF
the night were made by Gladstone Goschen
and Parnell The Irish leaders effort was
simple, frank, resolute-
3; The ministry, Tuesday afternoon, unani-
mousiy resolved to appeal to the country,
and to dissolve parliament June Is
lrotestants all over Ireland are rejoicing
at the defeat of the home rule bill
The Standard says: by Its vote last
night the house of commons saved itself
from degradation and the empire from dis
ruption. 1t has also read lesson to Ire
land, which, after the first irritation over
the defeat of tho bill has subsided,
will, we trust, be duly appreciated by
the quick witted inhabitants of that coun-
try. Gladstone, ParnelI and Morley may
now rest satisfied that what the presen,
house of commons refused to do no parlia
ment returned on an appeal to the constitu
encies to decide between unity and separa
tion of the emnira will ever be induced 10
sanction.

lists in Ireiaud to the hone that their kins.
