as of the Union itself. and the suggestion of an
ultimate appeal 10 force against an Irish Legis-

I. is the watchword Of the Nationalists to
treat these Ulster proposals with a contempt they
do not feel. Very likely therefore, you will hear
little from either side till the time for holding
tbe convention draws near. None the less care
fully is every step watched by both sides
