Reading Experience:

Evidence:
'The Cork "Southern Reporter" echoes the new "Nation", and even tries to go beyond it in treason. Mr Barry quarrels with Mr Duffy for keeping the independence of Ireland before men's eyes even as an ultimate and far-distant object; he is for "putting it in abeyance", that is, dropping it altogether... These poor creatures will soon have few readers among the country people.'
