"Justice to Ireland requires these things. First—The total extinction of the tithe-rent charge. Secondly—The protection of Irish manufactures. Thirdly—The fixity of tenure of land, in order to encourage agricultural improvement, and recompense the tenant for his labor and capital. Fourthly—A complete representation of the people in the Commons' House of Parliament, by the greatest possible extension of the suffrage, and by the protection of the ballot. Fifthly—The abolition, or entire beneficial alteration of the poor laws. And sixthly—The repeal of the union. The repeal of the union is the only means by which the other great objects can be achieved."
