The expelled Irish members hare almost
unanimously decided to remain in their
plates and offer every resistance which
tbe forms of the bouse of commons will
permit to the passage of the coercion anil
arms bill. In this resolution I fully con
cur. The result or renewed exertion of
the party since the coup d'etat and option

having adopted rules of coercion and In
timidation against our people and their
representing es in parliament, and having
practically attempted to drive both one
and the other outside the limits of tbe
constitution bv tbeuseof unconstitutional
and Illegal means in parliament and in
county, two courses appeared onen to us:
The first, that the Irish members should
retire in a body from the house of com
mons and announce to their constituents
that the constitutional weapon of parlia
mentary representation had been
snatched from their hands and no course
remained to them but sullen acquiescence
or appeal to force In opposition to the
force which had been used against us.
The second and only other alternative
appeared to be that we should steadfastly
labor on, deepening the lines and widen
ing the area olour agitation, appealing to
the great masses of the population of Kiiir-
laiid and Scotland, who are much less
represented in the house of commons
than the masses In Ireland. Anpealing.I
say, against the territorialism and slopoc
racy which dominate in parliament to
the workimrmen and agricultural lahorer
