Britain knows to her eost,that whenever they did possess official powerthey did use it to pervert the Constitution, and 611 the corona', with all manner of evil. Therefore they were justly excluded from the Throne, the Cabinet,. • and the Legislature. It is not my intention to ter üble you with a recital of the numerous facts which might be adduced from history to support this principle, and which of late have been often set forth. Any one su• crucially acquainted with the history of England knows that the very name of James 11. recalls •scenes which cause the Protestant to shrink with horror, and stimulate him to exert every endeavour to prevent the possibility of their recurrence—(Heat, hear). The Ro man Catholic will tell us that the doff •rence between Protestantism and Popery is merely nominal, as far as regards Civil Government, and that their divided alle giance, with which we charge them, and which is, in tact, the root of the evil, merely regards spiritual con cerns. But t h ese are mere assertions—they cannot prove it—if they Could they would obtain their demands ; lot the British Constitution professes to give the same poi vileps to all oa the same terms—but they demand ex ;lasi,* privileges—they demand that their Church sh uld be set over the Constitution and the Government —they deny the Sovereign that right with which the Protestants have invered Trim—the appoi;lment of the Clergy. They give that appointment to the Pope, ever the enemy of England. The layman is throughout the slave of the priest.. To whom can we attribute the tre mendous political combination existing in Ireland, hav ing for its declared object a vital political change.? The Bishops and Priests appointed directly oi-indirectly by the. Pope. Who tax their flocks to maintain it? Who destroy the e!ective franchise? Who bind down Members of the Legislature too; p s th Government in aU thing.? The Bishops and Priests appointed by the Pope. It is idle to tell .us that the Catholic Clergy act as they do merely for the removal of their disabilities. That they can act so for any purpose is abundant proof, decisive evidence, that foreign allegiance vitally affects civil government. They could use the same power for any i•ther question—such as the repeal of the Union, or the overthrow of the E,tablished Church. Their demand of unconditional emancipation is made in violation r f every principle of right and justice; and let me ask— are you prepared to consent that these demands be granted ? Are you ready to agree in tame sub mission to the deprivation of your just political tights, and will you shrink from defending wi.at your ancestors nobly won ?—(Cries of " No, no,' and of " No surrentlet.r) Ale you yet sufficiently educated in the school of libe rality as to be induced to bend your necks under the yoke of Popery—a yoke mote degrading than ever yet was plat d on man, enslaving as it does both body and soul ?—(" No, never.") It is, lam convinced, unneces sat y to explain to Protestants their duty on this emer gency. %1 hen they look to the state of Ireland a: this moment, they see what the Roman Catholics really ask, and t' ey need not deliberate on a reply. The pride and independence of Englishmen may bear the insult conveyed in the act of demanding concessioi on such terms, but will never suffer them to be.clegraded. The ad a kagates of emancipation and the Roman Catholics gr y assure us that V e removal of the disabilities will produce tear quillity—that Vie disordered scenes which now vex and agitate this unhappy land will be sootted into a calm of peaceful serenity—that the priests wid cease their political labours and be absorbed in the multitude of their spiritual duties—that the bonds of so c.ety will not he trampled on, and the compact between landlord and tenant will be united never again to be di.severed. Such assurances might be entitled to some degree of cre !mice were it not certain that, the Roman Catholics have mail other objects in view besides oh tai ling admission t t Pat liament—it is in fact the step ling stone by which they would be enabled to enter and batter down the walls of the Constitution. They a mild s• on introduce the questionchurch robbery and the repeal of Vie Union; and, in proportion as t !ese or other questions would be more etre active, and more im mediately conducive to the interests of their church, the more would the energies of the Pi tests and the passions of the people be excited; and, to make matters worse, they would be more powerful. the removal of the dis abilities would greatly increase the Priests' intriguing at elections. Can any one imagine that the Priests would be less active or that the freeholder would he more obed rot to hi; landlord when ti-e contest would be between Roman Catholic and Protestant, than it was when between Protestant and Protestant? Everything in reason and experience poste, that the removal • ould render the Romanist' more united and more un governable. Such are the tea ons on account of which I would pet turn the Legislature to adhere to the system exclusion, and for which 1 would earnestly implore 411 ranks and conditions to do their duty, by rallying round the Church and Constitution in this hour of un certainty and danger, tha: that monstrous spiritual • yranny which has been so baneful to this country may not he permitted to ei•ter the Legislature. In the mid.t of the dangers which threaten, the institution of Brun wick Clubs is of Inexpressible wr rth. I hope sin cerely that they will multiply and flt uri.h. ‘Vtiat adds to their worth is their complete independence, having rruthing t t do with men in power. If the Duke cf Wei iingiou and Mr Peel do their duty, let them be ardently 'typo. ted—if t ey forget it your course is obvious—let them he firmly oppo.ed.
