We are glad to note that the Northern Whig, a

paper of very great ability and weight, deals with the Spectator's appeal to Ulster in the spirit in which that appeal was made. Though pointing out certain difficulties and objections, it by no means dismisses our proposal as inadmissible. The Bishop of Kilmore sends to the Irish newspapers a powerful letter drawing attention to the Spectator's article, and asking that it shall be seriously considered. "Why not," he says, "ask our wise men to examine the appeal of the Spectator and make a pronouncement ? " On the other hand, the Daily Express—a Dublin paper—has a vehement editorial protest against our suggestion,—a protest which we venture to say is largely founded on a misapprehension of our proposal.
