''Onr sense of the matehless genius OF Mr..
Parnell as leader; of the inperishable
services he has rendered the Irish cause; Of
his courage and integrity, and the splendid
success with which he has led our people
for ten years; and the personal respect and
affection which has for years bound us to
him have made US suspend to the last possi-
ble moment our judgment against his fur
ther leadership. The obligation to express
that judgment is to all of Us the most pain
full duty of our lives. No earthly considera-
tfon could move us to our determination
except the solemn conviction thatwe are
driven TO choose between Parnell and the
destruction of our country's cause. The
manifesto which Parnell- has just issued
cuts US off frem the last hope to which we
clung. Anxious to avoid word that
might embitter this controversy, we shall
not dwell upon the cruel injustice with
which he treats members of the party that
have followed him with loyalty and affection
such as no leader ever experienced before.
lis recollection of their fealty to MIN in
many an hour OF trial might we'll have saved
them from the imputation that any section
of them could have allowed their integrity
to be sapped by Liberal wire-pullers.
UNJUST IMPUTATIoN.

and unjust. We view with abhorrence the
attacks made on Parnell by public and pr-
yate enemies under cover OF his present diff
fcuties. To attacks of this kind, addressed
to man of proud and strong spirit, we may
attribute many of the terrible dangers with
which Ireland is now threatened and we
fear they may do the further mischief of di-
verting the minds of many people from
grave national to purely personal issues in
natural resentment of the ungenerous attack
on the great leader in an hour of stress and
disaster. But while making every possible
allowance for ParnelPs feelings, we con-
slider it unjust TO the English people and
lamcntable from the point of view of inter-
national good feeling to describe as Eng
lish wolves those who have not been a Bile
to bring themselves to the same view to
which gratitude ana the necessity for
union impelied ParnelPS colleagues and
countrymen.
GLADsToNE's LETTER.
1.-THE plea of Parnell that Gladstone's letter
involves claim to dictate TO the Irish party
and thereby strike at the independence OF
that party as strictly Irish national body,
is one calculated to inspire every Irish
Nationalist with alarm. if that plea were
not an obvious falacy. Whatever differ
ences of opinion may exist as to the haste
with which Giadstone's letter was made
public, it was obviously not his hostility to
home Rule, but his earnest desire to save il
from disaster that prompted Gladstone to
write his letter. We de, lore that the diff
