the federalists, on the part Of the repealers as


body. Mr. ID contends that federalism is essen
tally worse thing than repeal. First, because
it stlllleaves England the head quarters Of Irish
politics and ambition perpetuates the Irish sub
lection, and fails to discourage absenteeism. Se-
ndIy--Bccahse in itself it is OF no use to Ire
land. Thirdly, As demanding Reconstruction


OF the institutions of the empise, i is lmlracca-


Bile. The second point to which Mr.. Duffy con-


tends, il, that it is bad policy to embrace federal


ism and lastly, that the Repeal Aassocation hav-
ing been organized on repeal principles, has nc
last Irish Parliament had to vote away the inde-
pendence of Ireland. Mr. Duffy is, however, will
