BRUNSWICK CLUBS. • MEETING OF THE PROTESTANTS OF THE • COUNTY OF MONAGHAN. lABRISKILD nu .:a* MALIN 111011116 Friday the most numerous and highly respectable meeting ever held in this county took. place in the town of Monaghan. The object for which the meeting as sembled was to establish a Brunswick Constitutional Club, and those present comprised the wealth, rank, and intelligence of the County. At an early hour the toads leading to the town were thronged with Protes tants of every decontination and grade in society; from the highest Peer to the humblest peasant, all , seemed animated with one desire,--that of shooing by their presence at the meeting their unalterable attachment to the Constitution, and their determination to sacrifice their lives in its defence, if necessary. So early as ten o'clock the space before the Court-hoose began to be filled with the well-clothed, respectable Protestant yeo manry of the neighbourhood. The crowd became momentarily more dense, and by twelve o'clock. several thousand persons had assembled in the Diamond. At a few minutes before one o'clock, Evelyn John Shirley; Esti: one of the Members for the County, arrived in a barouche and four horses. The Hon. Gentleman was received with the most enthusiastic cheering. Led idlarey's carriage next drove up, and it is quite impos-' ethic to describe the enthusiasm with which his Lord ship was greeted. Lord .Blaney was accompanied by Sir Harcourt Lees, who, Of) being recognised by the people, was received with the warmth which bisexei titan an the cause of Protestantism so justly entitle him to. At this period the crowd had increased to such an exint, that it was found quite impossible to hold the meeting where it was ori4inally intended—namely, the Cow t-houi,e ; and at was then resolved, in order to give all present an opportunity of hearing the sentiments delivered by the several speakers, that the meeting should be held an the open air. A chair was accord ingly placed on. the balcony of the hotel—and on the emotion of Meijor Richardson, seconded by. Capt. Ten nison, the Right Hon. Lord BLANEY was called to the Chair. The moment his Lordship made his appearance on the balcony, he was received with the loudest cheers and, waving of handkerchiefs. Three cheers wei e then gives fur Pi °test ant Ascesdancy,.and " one cheer muse fit. " No suroender.' The CHAlRMAN—Gentlemen, I feel myself hishij gratified by the honour you have conferred upon me, in calling me to preside at this most numerous and highly respectable Meeting of the Protestants of the county of Monaghan—and I feel particularly gratified at finding myselt surrounded by the property, the cha a acter, and respectability of this great county—(Cheers) Tiiere is also another matter which increases the grati. fication I feel, namely, that of beholding so numerous an assemblage of the Protestant Yeomen of the county (Loud cheers). This county has to boast of an intelligent and spirited Protestant Yeomanry, who bid defiance to the enemies of the Constitution. and who are ready to repel any attack which its enemies may make upon it— (Loud cheers). Gentlemen,' must inform the meeting that I accept the situation to which your kindness' has called me in some respects with regret. In s .und mimic principles I will yield to no man--(Cheers)—but though I have ever maintained those principles, I ab.. stained from publicly coming forward, lest my doing so might increase that party spirit which I had hoped would have subsided. It is not party spirit, however, that assembles us hereto day. No, Gentlemen, we are called togetner here in our own defence—(Cheers) Gentlemen, when the Popish Association, whose poser is represented to be omnipotent, assails our religion, vi. lilies our need. and tramples upon the laws—when re bellion is openly proclaimed, and the Constitution attacked, it becomes my duty, and the duty of ever y Gentleman in the country (and I am proud to see so many of them coming forward), and it is your duty, Protestant Yeomen also, to stand firm and support the Constitution—(Cheers, and cries of "No surrender.") Gentlemen, it may be necessary for me to explain, in order to prevent misrepresentation, what our objects art in establishing a Brui.swick Club in this c-unty. A self , constituted body, called the Catholic Association, meets regularly in the metropolis. Their first object is to petition for a redress of wrongs, and then, nest, to fur. then what us called Catholic Emancipation. That quer tion of Emancipation has been d.bated frequently tot many years back in both Hi.uses rst Parliament, and I do not believe there ever was exhibited in the debates upon any other subject such a degree of inconsistency and duplicity as was shown at both sides of the House on that question. When, however, the Catitiiiic Asso ciation, ant the Catholics in general, were called on for securities, that is, when they were asked what securities have you to give us - for the sacrifices that we Protestants are called on to make?—they replied and 'mid, they had none whatever to give. They boldly state that they will give us no securities, and they claim, as their right, un limited and universal emancipation. The definition of the term universal emancipation is, in fact, a sup• render on our part of the Protestant Constitution, which was fought for by our ancestors, and settled at the Revolution of - 16138—at which period our liberty, our' religion, and our properties, Were secured to us (Cheers). EVILYN JOHN SHIRLEY, Esq. M -P. then rose and spoke as follows : " My Lord, I feel, most proud in coming forward to propose, that a Ptotestait Constitu tional Club should be formed in this county. I need not. my Lord, I am sure, remind the Protestants of Monaghan that Ireland at the picsent juncture expects every man to do his duty—(Loud cheers). And I know no way in which Protestants can better evince their de. sire to do their duty than by enrolling themselves as members of the Brunswick Constitutional Club— (Cheers). When I look around me and see the vast con course of Protestants by *horn I am surrounded, I own the prospect that presents itself is of the most cheering description. It : does one's heart good to see that when the Constitution is. threatened, a body of Protestants, such as I have now the honour of addressing, are ready to start . up in its delence—(Cheer9. I am sure the Protestants' of this county . require no encouragement horn me to induce them -to come forward and enrol their names; but one thing I beg to impress upon them, that in -order to give the- cause of Protestantism that ' effectual support which it st suds in need of, we must be temperate, be peaceful, be firm, but, above all, be united—(Cheer's). • Colonel Lesetz-1 believe, Gentlemen, it is unneces ' nary for me to state what my principles are—(Cheers). You have had twenty-six years experience to prove to you what these principles are, and I hope that during , that period I acted as your representative coiformably to your wishes—(Cheers). Gentlemen, I assure you that the event which took place at the last election for this county does not distress me, provided I maintain your good opinion--(Cheers). It is Protestant support and the good opinion of Protestints I wish for-1 de spise Priesteraft and Popery—(Cheers)--and in con,e quence of that being known, and my. not giving way to the arrogance of the Popish Association, I forfeited, my seat; but if I retain your good opinion, I am smile fied—(Cheers). I certainly did not expect to have wit.' (wised such a mi eting as this. It is quite exhilarating to see so many Protestant yeomen, and neatly all the Nobility. And Gentry of the county, assembled, for tie purpose of defending the Constitution—(Cheers). I hope and trust every one present will become member, of the Club which will be established here to-day. Ab stain from giving offence, but support the Constitution as now•established—(Cheers). ArtiaTtee, Esq.—Gentlemen, it has been at tempted to change the fabric of the British Constitu tion, and we are met here this day publicly to btAte,All st that sacred fabric never can be altered while we are living--(loud cheer4)--that sacred fabric, which was I cemented by the blood of our ancestors , and handed down to us by them, must be transmitted to posterity • unimpaired, though we risk property and life in defend ing it—(Cheer). The public voice of the country is with us. This arena resembles the Campus Martins of ancient Rome, where the people stood forward ready to sacrifice their lives, and shed the last drop et their blood in defence of the interests of the country—(Cheers). The Protestant Constitution in its purity is to us what the Palladium was to Troy ; it has invited the rapacity, not of the open assailant, for he dare not as yet make the attempt, but of the midnight thief—(Cheers). It is our duty to protect the Constitution alike from the open assailant and the disguisedfoe; and no means appear so likely to effect both, as the establishment of Pro ' - testant Clubs—(Loud cheers). The Rev. Dr. Roamer RosINSOU—The state of my health demands rest; but the sight of such an asseuibly . takes away all sense of exhaustion; and if any exertion • f mine can adds single spark to the hright flame of the patriotic and constitutional feelings • that are burning itound me, I hold it criminal to be silent—(Cheers).— . Ut this asseatibly, my Lord, the Protestants of ',eland •nay well be proud—it comprises so many thOusanda .if the steady, educated, intelligent, and industrious pro manry, who are the best treasure that aoy country can possess. It contains the great body of landed proprie tors, and all the Nobility of the county. My Lord, our property is threatmied by the Association. If they suc ceed in their present views, our lives lire in danger ; tf they are not checked, our religions Rainey must perish —and we hold religious liberty to be worth more than either property or life—(Cheers). Prote-tantism is La vourable to a nation's political power,. to its internal lot . provement, and to the preservation of pood order and tranquillity among it: suhj cts, while Popery tends to disturb and debilitate All the three. A Pri.testant peuple have, in the very basis of their religion, a spirit of inde pendence and self respect which rouses them to energy and exertion in every line of life, while the noblest part of human nature is crushed in the Roman Catholic, by his forced abasement beneath the degrading tyranny of priestcraft ; and there can be very little doubt as to whether the morality of the Bible, or, that of the con fession box, is most likely to diminish crime and im prove morality—(Loud and continued cheering). The Rev. Gentleman then took a brief and. pertinent vies of the religious history of Great Britain from tw reign of John to the Revoluti:4l. and proceeded as.follows: Since the sear 1688. nn country-on. eaith has pros. pored. like England. Believing, as we do, in an all rulina PRoVIDENCE, we feel assured that we shall continue to prosper, as I. as we continue to h aid and cherish our pure a::d uncortulat .d religion. But the liberals abominat • all reference to history. Let hem, then, use their eyes and 10. k at ns—(Cheers).— In clamate, in soil, in situation, Ulster is undoubtedly the least favoured rrtion of the island; yet compared with the te.t, it seems to belong to another country— its inhabitant's are an object of almoo envy to the rest of Ireland—(Hear). I am often asked the can-e of this by the strangers who visit us, and my answer is the only one that can b:: given—Ulster is eminently Protes tant—the other provinces are en.inerttly Roman Catho lic. Surely even the political eci nom:sts ought, if they were consistent, to pa r..nise a line of conduct the re verse of whit they are pursuing.. Instead of flatteripg demagogues and psie.ts, they should try tn make the rest of our countrymen resemble us—(Cheers). My L the Protestants of Ireland know the blessings of their religion; but they must now struggle to preserve them ; they ate in danger—(Cheers, and " are— they are.") In a subsequent part of the Reverend Gen tleman's speech, which we ate reluctantly compelled .to curtail, upon making allusion to the illustrious indi vidual who now presides over his Majesty's Councils— " the master spirit of the age, the conqueror of con• querors," there was a genetaf chid ang, and cries of s. Wellington f rr ever I" Yee. continued the speaker, let us cheer him, let us rely upon him; he that stands already on the summit of the temple of fame is not to be cajoled by association or flattery. We must guard against insidious craft and political mane:warms ; and the Clubs, for the formation of one of which we are this day Ft" will enable us to do it—will enable Wel lington to do it without firing a shot or drawing a sword. We call ourselves the Protestants of Ireland. and well we may; for Lefore the year ends we shall have almost every person in Ireland is his is nut a oishonour to that name. The objects of the Brunswick Societies are, in my Lord Rossaiore's wends, H fair, open, and natural." Our aim is merely to oppose by lair and lawful means those acts of the Association which seem to us unjust and unlawful; and at the same time to avail ()illative' of our actual union, for the purpose of bringing fully before the Legislature the sentiments If the ltish Protestants respecting what is called Emancipation. By f allowing this course we shall yet save our country—we shall preserve to our children's children a treasure for which they shall bless us to remotest generations—the recol lection of our good deeds shall remain buoyant on the stream of time, and the name of the Brunswick Club be cherished evermore as only second to the glorious and immortal memory of the great and good King William. Colonel CARR—My tt lends, I have to propose a re solution which 1 know will be received with tne loudest acclamation: it is that Lord Blaney be requested to ac. cept the Presidency of the Club—(Cheers). When you compare the part taken by Lord Blaney, and that pur sued by the other resident Lord, I think nay proposal will be teceived with double cheers—(Reiterated ap plause).. The necessity of establishing Brunswick Clubs arises from the conduct of the Poplin party, who have vowed our destruction. They have tried to frighten us, but the Protestants are not to be intimidated—(Cheers). Their threats, however, have had the bad effect of inti midating sonic members of his Majesty's Government. It is necessary, therefore, that we would come for ward and support the Government, and show tiaein that we are able to . defend ourselves as well as them. No man will for a moment suppose that the Duke of Welling ton can partake of any portion of the panic which has been unfortunately communicated to others in the Ca billet ; and Mr.O . 00::nell cast himself bear witness that Mr. Peel was not to be intimidated, even by the great leader liimsell—(Lotid cheers and laughed). Captain Maxsx—lf the Duke of Wellington were but to s7amp his f o ot, a host of Bute tants would mite sufficient to bear down any opposition. But if be did not choose to give"us aid, I would only ask him to stand by and look upon the contest, and though we be left single-handed and utia:drd, he need not fear the result—(Cheers). Gentleman, it Ministers had clipped in its bud the Catholic Association, the country would not have been placed in the appaiing.situation in whit'. it now stands. What their object could have been in allowing it to arrive at its present state, it is impo sible to conjecture. Mr. O'Connell is permitted with impu nity to hold installations, to appoint chapters, and de corate his knights with the emblem of treason. • What can the end of all these things be, but to raise the people to rebellion? And if such be the result, as as suredly it will, what Can you contemplate, but•to have to fight. fur your existence ?—(Cheers). It is said, and indeed the repot t has been most industi ioutly.ciiculated, that the Government mean to make a provision for the Roman Catholic Clergy. It is quite monstrous to con template such a circumstance. Dr. Doyle, their cham pion of literature, published a letter, in which be had the audacity to state, that there were no essential dif ferences between the two religions ; in fact,. that they were of so trifling a nature, that he . saw no difficulty in reconciling both, and establishing a common reli gion, to which Protestants and Roman Cathcbics might treely subscribe; yet in three months afterwards, this same Dr. Doyle published another letter, in which be compared the worship of the DIVINITY in our Church with the idolatries of Juggernaut.—(Loud Cheers). — How can you treat with men of such a character?-- They draw a circle round themselves which they allo* no person to enter. If once they become the pensioners of the State, they will create such a feud as no British Minister can cope with—(Lund cheers). Gentlemen. M. O'Connell had once the audacity to state, that be only wanted to I:ave the inhabitants of one southern county armed with cabbage stumps, and, with himself at their head, he promised to drive the Protestants of Ulster into the ocean. Of Mr. 0. C.'s valour it Is not iiecessaiy for me to speak ; if he were to choose his weapons, cabbage stomps are what he would prefer to havenpposed to him—(Cheers). I do not hesitate to say that, duly authorised, I would- be content to put myself at the head of the Protestants of Fernianagh and Mi:naghan ; and I have no doubt whatever, that with such loyal and brave spirits as I know the Fermaeagb end Monaghan men to be, I shoold be able in one .month to beat the whole Papist population of Ireland. The Rev. GSM PORTEK.-.lt is the.pat amount obli gation r f my sacred profession to allay party spirit .o,d animosities, and to labour to prod.ice that spirit which heals as much as possible peace day with all men: and I do nat see teat any thing can more clearly tend to bring about that object than by sallying round ode Constitution, and preserving it from its enemies —(Hear)-.Whatever be t eir relit hull-whatever be their piitty. Ocher societies may be founded on obnoxious principles, but I Jo not we. how any good Can object to the principles of Cie Brunswick Club. They are to enable us to live round our own Ere-side in. peace and sccority, and, if at , acked by the rues of tranquillity, to defend ourselves—(Loud Cheers). Popery and as bitrary poser are synonymous terms. Protestantism and civil and teligi ius liberty are ever identified. The avowed leaders of the Catholic Awe. ciation, which is suffered to exist, avow that that which they miscall emancipation will not satisfy them. Par liantentary r form, repeal of the Union, and overthrow of that Church, which is the warning word of )our berties, mot be speedily effected. The Roman Catho lics are not permitted certain legislative and executive functions, because they disdain, the supremacy of oar law. The Protestant acknowledges this power; the Roman Catholic dares it; and without surrendering the vast power of their Church, they demand that they, acknowledging the jurisdiction of the Pope, shall legislate for our Church. Now, if this is con ceded, adults est de ercksia —if this is granted, the principles which guard the succession of the throne to the House of Brunswick are destroyed—(flear, bear). I deny that this is bigotry or intolerance. I fling back the charge with indignation and scorn. The bigots and intolerants are those who require special pri vileges to themselves contrary to the Constitution, and will concede nothing—(Loud cheers). In old times, the Roman Catholic religion would have granted this, but the Popery of the present day will not. The first article of the g, eat charter of Henry 111. is, Quad et cksia onglicana libera sit d habeat mails aria jure et libertates ilkeza. Their ancestors willingly allowed such securities, aid why should not the same be now con. ceded? Because political power and RonsanCatholic as cendancy is the object, and not equal privileges. Thgy possess personal security, personal liberty, and private property well secured ; and a more miscalled test than emancip.oion, or a remedy more ruinous than the phrase is intended to signify, was never proposed. The pretext of religion in the many is only a cloak for the ambition of the few, and the rights of the people are sacrificed to wink at religious usurpations. Fox says, the Pope's keys cannot work in England before the lock of good laws be changed, and we ask no blacksmith to try experiments upon these necessary securities. The sth Article of Union prescribes that the United Church of England and Ireland shall be and remain in full force for ever. It is not to be maintained in mere exis tence, but in peace, and honour. and glory; not only presetveJ from all aggression. but from the dread of any, and not trusting for its ordinances, or crouching for security to the tender mercies of its opponents. The munificent endowment for our Church, its Prelates and subordinate orders—the tithes which are held by Laity and Clergy, and those institutions which have connec ted themselves with the manners, habits, government, and division of property, deserve equal protection from the State--(hear)--tbe alliance must be preserved entire, and each discharge their reciprocal duties—(Hear). It s not by the sword or rceptre,but by the pastor al staff and keys of St. Peter, tat the most haughty domnion that ever trampled even upon the rights f man, is exercised by the Priests over the peasai.try ; from this I would emancipate them, who aie taught that he wl o has not the Church for his mother, has not GOD fur his father --(Hear, heal). What man can say that emancipation, as it is called, will produce any satisfactory result ? I cannot see that any securities are likely ti be tendered, which can guard our throne and our altars, equal to those which the laws of our country now give; and, as it was not for trivial and unimportant errors, for vain tears, our ancestors 'ejected a long succe ss ion, sad placed the House of Brunswick, being Protestant. on the throne: so, if the Reformation was worth establish. lug, it is worth maintaining. The fashion of the day is I to scout at every thing which wears the garb i f an‘ tiquity. The cry of the day is, that old principles may now be relaxed without danger, and that principles for. merly considered inviolable rigid sacred are nos esteemed chimerical and useless. Them is an alarming fluctua (ism, a wavering inconsistency in the principle. What is our remedy for all the oppression and persecutions which our poor Protestant brethren suffer, who still ad.. here to their native soil, waiting only for means to carry them to distant shores?—(Loud cheers). We must be united under one rallying point—the Constitution; we must become advocates of the oppressed Prostitute, and promote a real radical emancipation amongst Roo man Catholics, by encouraging industry and monthly, subscribing, not to illegal associations, but farming and useful societies, promoting schools, and giving them the light of the glorious Gospel of the Son of GOD, to banish' that monstrous spiritual . tyranny which blights our land. . Rev. H. Sr. Gnomon-4 consider the subject which we are this day discussing as one purely religions, and oile of all others most intimately connected %Mt our tatted calling. It is true we do not, as the priests, go to stations and lead mobs there; neither do we use our influence to force our parishioners to vote as we would have them, as the Clergy of the Church of Rome did in this place at the last election. Did one of your Mi nisters, my (*lends, attempt to presume ou the wretched bitterness of a worldly and-selfish mind, for :scuba* causes,. to drive you. to the busting: to vote as be pleased, you would drive us from you with merited in dignation and with just abhorrence--(Cbeers). As Chris.
