faith of Ireland owes to their fathers or
their fathers sons cloud cheers), and
little it owes to the ecclesiastics who,
instead Of taking the part of their suf-

saved by the bishops and the soggarths
who were not afraid to take their sides
with the people as outlaws (cheers) in
many fastness and many a mountain

the faith of ireland, and it is such
bishops, and it is such priests who thus
side with the people who will save the
faith of Ireland in spite Of DR..
O'Dwyer's attempts. (Cheers). The
Irish people know where their duty to
Ireland ends, and when their duty to
Rome begins. There will not be from

leaye any ranking trace behind when
by-and by the Pope comes to recognize,
as recognize he will, that this rescript
was mistake, as O'Connell brought
the Pope Of his day to recognize that
The veto was mistake. (Cheers). We

Wicklow, and said:
'sThere is no question OF religious
doctrine, article Of faith, or disputed
dogma involved in thus controversy.
We are, therefore, on a field of argu-
ment where the reasoning Of the lay
lnan has the sane controversial right
to be heard as that Of the ecclesiastic;
and, as the obvious tendency of this
rescript is to interfere in our agrarian
movement in the interest Of England,
of landlords, and !and~grabDers, We
must strip this attempt OF it's assumed
concern for morality and lay it bare be-
