"If," continued Sir Edward Carson, "tho South and West of Ireland said to Ulster, 'Wo must run our own island and live together; we will no longer preach hatred of England but cooperate wiili you and th'o rest of too Empire.' then I will undertake we will accept the offer and shake hands for the sake of England, Ireland, and Empire."
