Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Irish Question, Federation or Secession This article is not to be taken throughout as an expression of the writer's own opinion, but as an attempt to understand the mind of the Ulster Protestant Party in regard to proposals for the self-government of Ireland. The object of what follows is to discover if there is any method, consistent with the principles of the Northern community, which offers a present hope of ending an old and bitter controversy. The Protestant Community of Ulster The population of the whole of Ireland is a little under four and a half millions, while that of the Province of Ulster is a little over one and a half millions. The Protestants of Ulster number more than 885, 000 persons. They are therefore in a majority of nearly 200, 000 over their Roman Catholic fellow-countrymen in the Northern Province. The so-called "Ulster Party" is not a party in the ordinary sense of the term. It is made up of all classes of society and of every shade of political opinion. It includes Conservatives and Liberals; but Radicals, Labour men, and Socialists form by far the larger portion of it. The Ulster Protestants have at all times been distinguished by habits of thrift, industry, and enterprise, both as tillers of the soil and in mercantile pursuits. They have been distinguished also by the importance which they attach to education and by the liberality, untainted by corruption, of their municipal administration. At the date of the Union (1800) Belfast was a small town of less than 50, 000 inhabitants; it now numbers over 400, 000. The mightiest vessels launched from its slips float on every sea. Nor has this city any natural advantages, such as are derived from adjacent deposits of coal and iron, to account for its progress. While the Dublin Corporation is a byword for jobbery and incompetence, and enjoys an unenviable notoriety among the great cities of the Empire for its neglect of the very elements of health and decency among its poorer inhabitants, Belfast, with an approximately equal population presents a remarkable contrast in every particular. For upwards of a century the Ulster Protestants have lived and worked under precisely the same conditions - economic, social, and political - as the rest of Ireland. They have prospered under the Union to no less a degree than Great Britain; and for one reason only - because of their determination to make the best of their conditions as they found them. The Force of Sentiment Had the rest of Ireland acted on the same principles they would have prospered equally. They might even have surpassed the prosperity of Ulster by reason of their remarkable gifts of quickness and adaptability. In saying this it is not intended to cast any reproach.

The committee has met this morning for the pur pose of considering House joint resolution 357, introduced by Mr. Gallagher, of Illinois, and other resolutions which have been referred to the Committee on Foreign Affairs relative to the Irish question. I understand there are quite a number of ladies and gentlemen here from different points in the country who want to be heard on the reso lutions, and I will be glad if some gentleman who represents some of these committees or delegations would indicate whether he knows how many there are to be heard, so we can arrange to apportion the time. The committee decided to give four hours to hearing various persons on these resolutions. We' would like to apportion the time in a manner agreeable to those who have come to be heard. In addition to the visiting delegates there are a number of Members of Congress, who have introduced resolutions of a similar import, who would probably like to be heard on their particular resolutions.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Irish Question: The Chicago Convention What the Convention Did. The Convention of the Irish race in America, which assembled in Chicago on the 18th August, 1886, has attracted so much attention in England, and has been the subject of so much misrepresentation by the enemies of Ireland, that it is desirable that its character, spirit, and work, should be clearly made known to the public. We will first state what the Convention really did, and then what it did not do. Number of Delegates. The total number of delegates who assembled was 972 almost every State and Territory in the American Union being represented; and an evidence of the growth of the movement was supplied by the presence, in addition, of each of the provinces of Canada.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Two Speeches on Conciliation With America and Two Letters on Irish Questions In 1733 the Molasses Act laid duties in the American colonies upon molasses, sugar, and rum imported from any but the British West India Islands. The agent of New York in England protested that this was divesting the colonists of their rights as the king's natural-born subjects and Englishmen, in levying subsidies upon them against their own consent. In 1732 the American colonists were forbidden to export hats; in 1750 they were forbidden to erect mills for slitting or 101 ling iron, or furnaces for making steel.

Levin and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-12 with total page 30 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Lecture on Irish Repeal, in Elucidation of the Fallacy of Its Principles, and in Proof of Its Pernicious Tendency, in Its Moral, Religious, and Political Aspects Repeal! Irish Repeal! O'Connell and the Irish Catholics! Emancipation for Ireland. The Queen! The Pope! Irish Independence O'Connell and Sedition! The Arrest of the Liberator! The Conspiracy crushed. "If O'Connell suffers, Peel dies!" Another grand rally for old Ireland! Slavery and the President of the United States! His Holiness the Pope, and the degraded American people who give countenance to slavery! These are a few of the watchwords of the times, that strike upon the ear of an American patriot, in the middle of the 19th century! The sounds are strange. They strike us with surprise. Nay, they appal us with apprehension. The Pope! the Queen! Irish Catholics and African slavery! What a cluster of ill-assorted associations, to be wound up with the name of Daniel O'Connell, Sedition, Conspiracy, and Arrest! Do we really live in the middle of the 19th century? Are we truly awake, or is all this a frightful dream? Is this the chosen land of liberty? Was it here, that the rights of man were erected oil a foundation of blood 1 Was it here that Washington said, in the tones of a father - "Shun the brawls of Europe?" How is this? The fair land of liberty become the battle-ground of kings, tyrants, popes and their political myrmidons? Why all this din and turmoil? Is the Republic in danger? Have the monarchs and popes of Europe hired wretches to insult us? Incendiaries to stir us up to riot? Slanderers to defile our freedom? Monarchists to scold us for slavery - themselves the slaves they pity? Or, have we lost the recollections of liberty, and sent to Europe for a supply of royal tutors to instruct us in the rights of man? How is this? We are traduced - abused - insulted. And yet the free American has no equal in past history. He can dread no superior in the future. He stands forth a sovereign man - such as God made him, invested with all the rights that create power, and all the power that prescribes duties. He is his own master. His own king. He bends the knee to God only; and neither worships nor fears his fellow mortal. If he parts with individual power, it is only to entrench his rights by the rampart of law; but never making a total surrender of the rights that are essential to the retention and preservation of his power. In what quarter of the globe do you behold a freeman like the American? In what spot of the globe can you discover a people who do not bend the knee to a sovereign, or bow their necks to the galling yoke of power, contrary to their will, or repulsive to their feelings, destructive of their happiness, or pregnant with their degradation? Imposing burdens fraught with misery, or exacting duties fatal to content? On what charter of monarchy, can you read the sublime lesson of "the rights of man?"

Download or read book How the Irish Became White written by Noel Ignatiev and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2012-11-12 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: '...from time to time a study comes along that truly can be called ‘path breaking,’ ‘seminal,’ ‘essential,’ a ‘must read.’ How the Irish Became White is such a study.' John Bracey, W.E.B. Du Bois Department of Afro-American Studies, University of Massachussetts, Amherst The Irish came to America in the eighteenth century, fleeing a homeland under foreign occupation and a caste system that regarded them as the lowest form of humanity. In the new country – a land of opportunity – they found a very different form of social hierarchy, one that was based on the color of a person’s skin. Noel Ignatiev’s 1995 book – the first published work of one of America’s leading and most controversial historians – tells the story of how the oppressed became the oppressors; how the new Irish immigrants achieved acceptance among an initially hostile population only by proving that they could be more brutal in their oppression of African Americans than the nativists. This is the story of How the Irish Became White.
