It is now published for the first time.
RELIGION I wish to make a note on the article under this heading to avoid a possible misconception amongst people outside Ireland.

In Ireland there is no religious dissension, but there is religious insincerity.

English politicians, to serve the end of dividing Ireland, have worked on the religious feelings of the North, suggesting the danger of Catholic ascendancy.

There is not now, and there never was, any such danger, but our enemies, by raising the cry, sowed discord in the North, with the aim of destroying Irish unity.

It should be borne in mind that when the Republican Standard was first raised in the field in Ireland, in the Rising of 1798, Catholics and Protestants in the North were united in the cause.
