"NORTH-EAST ULSTER " : A PROTEST.
[To THE EDITOR OF THE " SPECTAIOH."] SIR,—May I protest against the expression "North-East Ulster" which is made use of several times in your article on "The Work of the Unionist Party" in the Spectator for October 7th P I understand that Sir Edward Carson's plan of campaign includes the whole of the province of Ulster, whereas the term "North-East Ulster" would Mad your readers to suppose that two-thirds of the province are to be left to the tender mercies of a Dublin Parliament. May I draw your attention'to the enclosed map, by which you will see that Monaghan and Cavan, the most southern counties of Ulster, can boast of Unionist populations of over 18,000 and over 19,000 respectively, while in Tyrone there are over 68,000 Unionists, and in _Fermanagh over 29,000. In Donegal we have over 38,000 Unionists, and in Armagh over 69,000. None of these counties can be described as belonging to North-East Ulster," yet I venture to hope that Sir Edward Carson does not contemplate leaving some 246,000 loyal Ulster men and women under the government (or misgovernment) of a Parliament in
College Green.—I am, Sir, &c., S. C.
