It is hopeless to expect Irish matters to go well, when the balance of parties in the House of Commons is held by hirelings and traitors, men who debase patriotism and would to-day encourage outrage as much as they did in 1884, if it was worth their mercenary while. I had a word to write myself a year later to Mr. It ran as follows: 'Sir I have just read the speech of Mr.
