ABSTRACT

The Irish Bar has already had the honour and the satisfaction of saving this country, or contributing most essentially to its safety, by taking the lead in the Yeomanry institution; and, that they will have the sweet satisfaction of saving our country, by standing between the rash and ill-advised projects of the English minister. The total extinction of the Irish name and independent Irish Legislature is a necessary preliminary. The merging of our Representatives in an Assembly where they will be more than quadrupled, and where if they were unanimous, they could have but slight influence upon any subject, is a necessary preliminary. Alas! to what incalculable hazards and danger, are they willing to expose all that is dear to Irishmen, who speak to an incorporating Union between Great Britain and Ireland. Much talk there also been, of the sacrifices which Great Britain is ready, and willing, to make, for the benefit of Ireland.
