 Their Vieyvs-A Long Paper Issued
 by the Executive Committee of the
 Liberal Union Association.
 NEW YORK, Dec. 1.-The five anti-Par- nell members of the, commission in this country have issued a long manifesto. After speaking of the unpleasant change that has taken place in the prospects of the Irish cause during the past six weeks and reviewing the reasons given by MT. Parnell for this change they ask whether it is credible that the British statesmen who have until recently been considered the friends of home rule have suddenly be- come treacherous and whether it is just to regard as renegades and mutineers those Irishmen who differ from Parnen in this crisis Continuing the address says:
 Our position in this matter is an espe- cially cruel one. We have had to endure the anguish of seeing all thefruits of weary years of battle with enemies of Ireland suddenly and fatally imperilled in the very hour of victory by a crisis for which we are not in the smallest degree responsible and which our absence from Ireland renders us perfectly helpless to control Even if every private and public utterance of our political loves had not attested the of our allegiance to MT. Parnell his widest partisan will scarcely suspect us of desire to overthrow his leadership with some terrific cause at momene when @ few months more of united action would have brought us to victory and when any prolonged convulsion of the Irish race must involve the certain loss of the tre- mendous interest we had staked upon the general election. We may, therefore, per haps claim, even amid the fierce passion of the hour, patient attention from our when we do the only thing that is left in our power to do to aid them in the momentous decision, namely, to impress upon them our deep conviction that Mr. Parnell's deplorable impu- tation of mutiny on the part of his colleagues and treachery on Mir. Glad stone's part are absolutely baseless and unreal, side issues raised up for the purpose of diverting the judgment of i'm pulsive Irishmen from the real issue, which every man of Irish blood will have the duty of pronouncing upon within the next few weeks under the most solemn obligations to his conscience and to his country. That issue is whether it is possible to win the general cleo ton under Mir Parnell's leadership-and if the loss of the general election is the certain and indisputable price of retaining him can Mir. Parnell himself or any ration al human being honestly face the future and point to any ray of definite hope to sustain our unhappy people in the face of a triumphant majority and helpless divided Ireland. With MT. Gladstone gone, his party irrevocably estranged from the Irish leader and the whole British peo- pie angered by deplorable insults to their leaders and rendered suspicious by still more deplorable hints of the insincerity of all our professions of friendship and forgiveness.
 The certainty of Q disastrous general election MT. Parnell is too clear-sighted statesman for one moment to dispute. The horrible consequences that must ensue in Ireland he can only pretend to disguise by vague speculations as to future parlia- mentary strategy. All such speculations, which lost sight of the fact that intrigues of English party politicians in the house of commons, are now replaced by the supreme vote of the British democracy, who were seizing the full truth of the Irish question, whose hearts and intellects were beyond all doubt won to the principle of Irish na- tional government, and whom 6 persistence in MT. Parnelrs present methods would drive into sullen distrust of the uses to which we would put national elf-government, and a rooted belief that the Irish people were incapable o1 exercising it. If this be true statement of the prospect before us in cast of MT. Parnell's continuance in his course disaster at the general election and blanl hopelessness after it-is necessary to jus tify by another word the action which thu majority of the Irish representatives hav' felt themselves coerced to take at the sac rifice of their own manifest desire and il resistance of their own passionate persona promptingsa In comparison with tn awful issue at stake-the freedom or tn miserable subjugation of Ireland for tn present generation-there is no advantag in discussing now the possible blunder and misunderstanding on both side which may be helped to bring us to thi miserable and calamitous pass. We are no inclined to dwell upon MT. ParnelPs re grettble assaults upon the honor of col leagues who were proud to bear the taun of servility in their unswerving fidelity t his banner. Still less need we insist upol tbe gross and almost incredible method he has been driven to adopt to suppres the solemn voice of the Irish party and t defy the will of the majority in violatio of the fundamental pledge of that party
 unity and of every principle of constitr 1 tional freedom All these questions pal l before the great issue which every man ( | the Irish race is now summoned to detel | mine under the most sacred accountabil1t l to his own conscience and to our ancieI | cause. With the Irish people alone tf | determination must rest, and dlsastt l even greater than a mistaken verdict woul be verdict which would not be prom and decisive on the one side or the othe l To this verdict, the delegates say, the
 will fully submit and in the hands of u
 Irish people they leave the matter.
