A Tributary Province ! A Province in the occupation of a foreign army ! Ireland reduced to the level of Roumelia, the tributary to the Turk ! ' * Is it for this ', they will say, * that we have dared all, and suffered all, and waited ? Is it for this that our brethren have crowded the English prisons, and have perished on the English scaffold? And this is to be the final settlement — this is to be received as a final settle- ment by tis I ' Under Grattan's constitution the political situa- tion..., according to the patriotic historian, was anomalous and insecure. ' Ireland had not, like England, a responsible body of Cabinet Ministers, accountable to her own Parliament. The Lord Lieutenant and Irish Secretary ruled as before; and although they were appointed, it was said, by the King of Ireland, they really held their offices and received their instructions from the Ministers in England'.* Mr. Gladstone's constitution makes no provision for the remedy of this evil ; but it will doubtless be remedied by the Irish Legislative Body.
