ULSTER’S RIGHT.

HOME RULE FOR IRELAND. EARL GREY'S OBJECTION. [By Electric Telegraph—Copyright 1 [United Press Association.] London, October 1L Karl (j! rev, explaining his opposition to Homo Rule, said the present scheme differs widely from Canada’s, because it is based on the assumption that Ireland is a separate nationality. If the people of Ireland are right-in refusing to ho governed from London, the people of Ulster are entitled to refuse to be governed from Dublin. ’I he population of the North-East corner of Ulster exceeds that of seven out of nine of the Canadian provinces, or that of the whole of New Zealand, or that of twenty-one out of the fortynine States of the t nited States- of America. It is a crime to compel Ulster to accept Dublin rule. Lord Benconsfield and Mr Joseph Chaiphorlain favored applying the federal principle in Ireland. The Unionists should accept Mr Churchill’s invitation to seriously consider the federal solution, which is within the field of practical nolitics.
