Since our prospects, therefore, have so much improved, it is tiecessary for us to be prepared for the events which they pOint out. It is obviously necessary that those who are disposed, to befriend us should be acquainted with the nature of our wants, and the kind of relief of which we stand in need. Who so proper to inform him of this, as we to, whom the relief is necessary ? It is therefore my opt. Hion, that a scheme should be put by us into the hands of our Parliamentary Advocates; and that we should, for this purpose , take into immediate consi. deration which species of Bill nould be likely to sa. tisfy this country, while it should bid fair, at the same time, to reconcile to its provisions the ether part of the nation. lam the more confirmed in this wish, from what occurred lest Session, where a Bill was proposed, con taining.lks to which no Catholic could subscribe, and details, Whicb, without utterly subverting our religion, could never have been car. tied into effect. This very objeltiomible shape in, which it appeared, and the possibility that it might pass the House made it necessary for the Roman Ca. tholic Prelates, to meet with a Inge, which in such a body bordered on indecency, in order to take Its provisions into cunsideretion, and in the event to declare that the Act this intended for the relief of the Catholics, would, as far as it went, pet a pe riod to the Catholic Religion I Inked.
