Ulster; while his speech gave proof
that he has not put himself &C the
head OF this movement without hav-
ing counted the cost to others as well
as to himself e.
In solemn tones, and in words that
created profound impression, Sir
Edward Carson declared that this &C
ton was the gravest matter he had
ever had to consider, and 'the more
/ consider it the more certain am
that it is right am prepared to tgc
on to the end, and in the march will
have all that is best and honest, not
only In ireland, but also in the United
Kingdom. - s
He defended himself from the char
&c of having threatened with the fate
of Lundy any who refused to sign
the covenant What he said was that
the man who after signing betrayed
his comrades would be branded as a
successors of Lundy =.
Upon one point Sid Edward was
emphatic. He will listen to no pro-
posal for separating Ulster from the
rest of Ireland. "That is not and never
has been a policy of ours, he declar-
ed. We will have nothing less than
the Parliament of the Unite King
dom. To.separate Ulster, he argued
would be to ssacrifice the Protestants
in isolated parts of the south and
west of Ireland.
The delegates cheered this declara-
tion, and made it Clear that in the
present stage of the conflist no COM
promise will be considered. It is to be

promises nor threats viii move Pro

Lord Londonderry And The. Campaign.
Lord Londonderry, speaking at the
luncheon, said the prosperity not only
of Ulster but also Of Ireland was due
entirely to the Union, and it was or
that account that they were determin.
ed not to give up the Union. (Cheers)
There was no precedent for any COM
munity being driven OUT of their coun-
try simply because they were Iuyai,
industrious, and had affection for the
Mother-country. However, they had
now got the enemy in retreat, ant
they must turn it into a rout.

Sir Edward Carson said: when /

Irish Unionist Parliamentary Party

any glorifcation. ("Hear, hear ,
Everything have ever done in my

am represented in the 'Westminste:
Gazette as having said that any
Ulster man who does not sign the
covenant must be regarded as a sue
cessor of the infamous Lundy.
Il said no such thing. 1t is an also
lutte falsehood. (Applause.) So far
from using any threat towards any
man warned them that they ought
not to sign unless the signature came
as well from their heads as from their
hearts. (Applause.) What I object
to especially about this class of jour-
nalism is that in the very paper in
which they make that accusation
against me they had an accurate re-
port of what did say. Therefore
charge them with having made a pur-
posely false statement. :
