THE RICHMOND DIsPATCH--TUEsDAY. JUNE s. 1885,

given shall not be abused fpsrneIiItc cheers,
sud 10 devote all the energy. ability. aud 80.
buepce we may lave with our people TO
prevent them flom pbusipg the powers en-
uusfed 10 them fcbsersJ; that n the abuses
take place the imperial Parliament may tn-
tfryene in c.ses of grave emergency. You
haye the power. authority. and force. and
II abuses are rerpefrated you have the RENE
cy IN your 90 q hands.
We have had this measure accepted by all
tbe leaders Of every section OF national
feeling In Ireland; also outside OF Ireland,
IN America, and In every country where
lrisb PEOPLE are found. lCheers.l We
have not heard single voice raised against
the hiil hv an IrIshman-lCheers ana cries
OF l"l-eeriainiy not by an lrtshmin
OF Nationalist opinion. on course there
are sections among Irish Nationalist, Just
a. ibeIe are sections IN the great Consefva-
tive party: in fact a. far az II Is possible Tor
q nation TO accept the measure chcerfuliy.
freely, thoughfnlly, and without reserve.
| say the Irish people have shown
ttal they have so accepted this measure.
(Cheers.l Even the terrible Irish Word
newspaper, which has not been on my side
for the last FIVE or six years, SAYS that the
IrIsh race a. home and abroad has sienihed
is willingness, TO accept the terms of peace
offered by Gladstone. [Cbeers.l say
that p far az the Irish people can accep'
this ill they have accepted II without
any reserve as measure which may b.
considered n final settlement Of this great
question. Upon the question OF protecting
tie loyal minority, Parnell asserted that the
scheme Of a separate ParliSment in Ulster
would fail. because the Nationalist have
majority even IN Ulster. and that the nrst
act OF the Ulster Legislature would be TO
unite itsclf with the Dublin Parliament.
Seven twciiths OF the Irish Protestants live
outside OF Ulster, and that Is another re1-
son why the Ulster Legislature would not
effect its declared object. Besides. Parneli
said, every Irishman would be needed IN
TIE Dublin Government. These Protest.
ant. would form a healthy minority.
1--WE want all creeds aud classes in Par
lament. fliear, bear.l We cannot con-
sent TO look upon single lrishman as not
belonging to us, however much we recog-
u;ze their great ability. We admit the
ability of Irish Protestants and their iuhu-
cnce. We cannot admit that there is sin
gle one Of them too good TO take part in
the work: we admit thai-A small proper
ton fear The treatment they will receive at
the hands of an Irish Parliament. We
ehalI do ctr best, rs We have been
dong, 10 nlqy the fears OF this small
section. When this bill becomes an
act. We shall. not cease nom the work Of
cDuciliatirg heir fears. Theirs i not the
shame and disgrace OF these fears: the
shane and disgrace belong 10 gentlemen
ard .orfs LclcugH, 90 the English political
Var',c,. who for selfish ,ulcrests OF those
Fngli.h political parties, seek TO rckindle
thc almost expiring Cinbers oi political aud
religious rancor. Home Rule cheers: =.
TIE question Of the retention OF the Irish
members nj Westminster j. one which i
stall touch upon very slightly. This diff
cult auction requires gcry serious cOnstde-
ration. when Gladstone has produced his
ul.D We shall. without binding ourselves
beforehand, examine il caMdiGly, with de-
.iTe 10 see In it element, which will not in
iura the rcrmancncy u The settlement. We
have gone through ii all before. and know
the sort q coercion there has been du-
iiAg tie last five years. You will require
even - seycrer and more drastic measure OF
coercion than vuu have now. You viii re-
quirc everything you have bad during the
