The Dublin Pilot chooses to call Mr. Ashton Yates's letter
" con- vincing," and to assert that be makes out " a conclusive and unanswer- able case" for the Irish Liberal Members. The Pilot, however, takes are not to give our commentary on the letter, or the record of Mr. Yates's votes, which proved the inconsistency of that gentleman's con- duct in Parliament with his professions of perfect independence and pure Liberalism. Mr. Yates complained of " abuse," and wrote to defend himself; and in reply we adduced complete proof of the justice of the only charge udvanced against him, and which was not mixed up with abuse. As to the conduct of the Irish Liberal Members gene- rally, that is not a point to be settled by a dictum. Let the Pilot give both sides, and then perhaps lie will find silence his best policy.
