The proposals of one are always insidious, dangerous or reactionary, as the case may be, in the eyes of the other; and in no case will the parties agree; they will at times even charge each other with treachery; there is never peace.

It is the rule of party war.

Who, then, can hope for peace where into the strife is imported a race difference, where the division is not of party but of people?
That is in truth the vain hope.

And be it borne in mind the race difference is not due to our predominating Gaelic stock, but to the separate countries and to distinct households in the human race.

If we were all of English extraction the difference would still exist.
