Between the men who were and the men who are bribed the beauties of the Union appear! 2 H 2 REPLY TO MR. SPRING RICE'S SPEECH. We feel great pleasure in giving a place to the following Reply to Mr. Spring Rice's speech, purporting to have been delivered in parliament, on Monday, 11th February; which answers the last of that gentleman's fallacies on the Union. To the Newspaper Editors who have published Mr. Spring Rice's Budget of Fallacies. GENTLEMEN, Dublin, Feb. 15th, 1833. I am about to undertake an exposition of Mr. Spring Rice's Budget of Fallacies. It is for you to determine how far justice to Ireland calls upon you to lay it before your readers. 1. I begin with the right honorable gentleman's description of our "financial condition before the Union." He says Ireland stood thus : "Her income in 1791 was £1,190,000; her expense during the same time was £1,153,000. Ten years afterwards her expenses had increased in the ratio of nearly double her income; for at that time her income was £2,684,000, and her expenditure £5,893,000." Upon this I have only to observe that her principal expenditure was temporary, and that the English minister has been, upon apparently just grounds, accused of having caused it for the mere purpose of effecting the Union. I, of course, allude to the enormous disbursements connected with the rebellion. They added above 18 millions to the Irish debt, and for army purposes alone they amounted, in 1800, to £3,528,800, which is above four times the military expenditure of Ireland at the present period. 2. He next applied himself to the consolidation of the Exchequers "At the time the balance of the debt was struck, the interest and charges of the permanent debt of Ireland amounted to £5,900,000. To meet those charges there was an income of 5,700,000; so that the country had nothing to do but to live, as some individuals among them were said to live, upon the deficiency of their income."
