IRELAND'S RP:V0LT IN '98 Wl On the paragraph in his address referring to the Union, a debate commenced in the Com- mons which lasted till one o'clock the follow- ing day— more than twenty consecutive hours. Against the Union spoke Ponsonby, Par- sons, Fitzgerald, Barrington. Plunkett, Lee, O'Donnell and Bushe. In its favor the advocates were Lord Castle- reagh, Corry, Fox, Osborne, Duignan and some others. The contest was carried on in the English Parliament as well as in Dublin. The two great ...parties engaged in the discussion were known as "L^nionists" and "Anti-Unionists." That there was a "LTnionist" party in Ire- land may cause surprise to those who are unac- quainted with the state of the country at that period. All wonder will vanish when it is recollected that the whole island was ovemni with a greedy multitude of officials of various kinds in the pay of the government ; a host of Church of England clergymen; a rapacious body of the legal profession, as well as the landlord class with their numerous agents — nearly all of English importation.
