IRELAND, bly adhered? At all events it was I point with which' that Meeting had no connection, unless they presum ed to interfere in a manner which neither moral or religious principle sanctioned. Mr. Boy LE expressed a desire to hear the teasons upon which the Learned Gentleman grounded the assertion, that the Catholic Laity could not interfere with their opinion upon the appointment of the Ca tholic Prelacy. When the Amendment was about to be put— Mr. POW ER rose and expressed his hopes, that in his native city, though after an absence of some years, he might be pardoned for intruding a very few ob servations. He did not see the necessity which ex isted for introducing a polemical discussion, to prove that the Catholic Laity had no power to infringe upon the rights of their Hierarchy. There were, without such a reference, motives sufficient to sway every man who felt for the character and honour of th4t great Body, not to yield such a right even to the venerable discretion of the Executive /Vlagistrate. Amidst the disabilities under which they had laboured—under all the odium to which the Catholic Body were sub jected for centuries, of persecution, it was still a con solation to feel, that they were blessed with inde perident Clergymen. (Hear, hear !) Surrender this right to the Crown, and what power will a base Mi nistry avail themselves of. In place of a respected popular Prelacy, responsible to public opinion, and alive to popular feeling, you will have an intriguing servile Clergy, the tool of every hireling of office, and more anxious for his countenance than for the accor ding sentiment of his flock. (Hear ! hear !) In be half of the Catholic and of the Protestant part of the community, he would protest against the innovation, as equally dangerous to the liberties of both. Was this the time to degrade the claim of truth and justice, the demand of loyalty and valour, by an unnecessary bribe? The great question stood upon its own merits, it was sanctioned by the ablesta nd honestest States men in Europe ; and therefore, he trusted, that in 1 offering their just prayer before the august delibera tive assembly, they would not overcharge it either 1 with slavish concession, or braggart menace. They had to recollect the political martyrdom which they Ihad already suffered for the religion of their fathers, and as long as they revered that recollection, they would pronounce their veto upon the proposed amend ! meat. CORK, NOVEMBER I. Pursuant to public advertisement, a. most respect:. able Meeting of the Roman Catholics of this City :ta d County was convened at the Bush Tavern, for t h e purpose of taking into consideration the propriety v f petitioning I'atliament early in the next Session, for a release from the penal disabilities under which ;Lev now sifTer. On the motion of GEORGE GOoLD, Esq. Joust GAL• /1 , ‘ y, Esq. of Lota, was called to the Chair. Counsellor JUSTIN M'CARTHY then addressed the Meeting :—As one of the Committee, he stated that it i iii d fallen to his duty to propose certain Resolutions, u pon the propriety of which the Committee to whose care the Catholics of that great city and county had colitickal their interest, had unanimously agreed, it was 11::•11 unnecessary to develope the reasons and motives which led to such a conclusion. It was, perhaps, of t l i u greatest importance to the ultimate success of their r.l:tce, that the principles which recommended it were : , fully understood, and so wisely appreciated—still it ,1:•.;lit be proper to preface the Resolutions with some ~: n eral observations. The disabilities under which they I.:houred had not one e ff ect more poignant to the feel igs of the Catholic Body than that they held them t ip to the public view, as well as to their own consi- L!-:ation, as a degraded cast. They felt that any man I f tileir body, hosiever transcendent hi: merits, ele •:!icd his rank, or distinguished his virtues, in moving t sre'rgh his proper sphere in society, could place his ion,' upon his heart, and in the language of conscious iqicpeadence say that he was in ins native land the e q ual of his Protestant fellow-subject, even with leSs ciaims to superiority. In such a state of things, it was impotsible for men to be divested of those excitements nbicli prompt the human mind to take the means of extricating itself from undeserved inferiority.—lt was i m possible that those impulses should not operate with T. 4 Catholics, which were so strongly implanted by the hrnd of Nature in the human heart. In compliance irith that impulse, he felt that it was the duty of the Celio!ics of that great City and County to seek for the covcry of their Constitutional rights by legitimate nrin.3. At all times the right and the policy of con ceding them were felt and admitted by the wise and the patriotic, hut the peculiar_circumstances of the present e,,,y rendered the propriety of the discussion much rare perspicuous. It was surely a public duty to knit in an indissoluble bond the hearts and affections of acry description of men in the kingdom at a moment vim, we may say, with the exception of the British ,:lands, the map of Europe was extinct, and when, Elf a single nation was left upon its extensive Conti nent that would dare to breathe the accents of inde pendence.—(Hear ! hear ! hear!)—The Learned and CORK, NOVEMBER 1. highly respectable Gentleman next proceeded to state i bourhood of Ballimacaw, near Waterford, discovered, Thursday last, the boats which ply in the neigh the propriety of the Catholics coming forward with i at some distance, a small cutter ; on approaching her, adopt the most efficient means for eventual success. subscriptions, in order to enable the Committee to at they found her totally deserted, lying on her side, and nearly sinking.
