- To &Cattle. tol is Of tr 11,ronit, foe! confident parer WI Who may ti ga t Jo n leave t" assertion t a red so boldly and strongly in many of the Petitions which have been presented to Parliament in oppo sition to Catholic Emancipation ;—that the Catholics are me, at present, subject to persecution on account of their religion, but that, on the contrary, they how enjoy religious toleration in its fullest extent ? The only rational meaning that can be affixed to the word toleration, I have always uoderstoed to . be this, the full liberty of professing such veli. gious opinions, and adopting such- religions rites . as the conscience of every individual dictates to him, without being on that account subjected to any, temporal inconveniences or disadvantages. Do the Catholics enjoy this unfettered, this unqualified liberty Certainly not. They are Doti it is true, eine p o sed to that more severe persecution ., whiclr - con. sista in the &petition of tifeor of perstmetireedum ;- bat they do stiffer many inconveniences and *Sad. vantages, and indignities too (which to honourable and spirited minds are infi:titely more galling), on Res count of their religion ; and all the ingenious so phistry in the world will never persuade one direct, and candid, and liberal mind to call this by any other ti..,:t the odious name of PERSECUTION. But to enter a little in:o particulars.—They are disqualified, in consequence of their religion, for many offices of. power a:id distinction ; for offices which will, whilst human nature remains what it is, be objects of desire ; which are, indeed, the fit and proper aim of honour. able ambition ; this exclusion operate:. necessarily as a discouragneent to alle.-as a prohibition to many— from entering upet that career in the public service of their country, either military or civil, to which their inclinations may prompt them, and in which their conn•ry might derive great benefit from their exer tions. Will it be pretended that this is no pu tiphment?—Let us examine it in the case of these who feel themselves to be prohibited from en tering upon the career of public service, from the circumstance of their; being cut off from any hope of attaining to the higher and more distinguished ern- i ployments of the state. Will it be pretended (I re. 1 peat), that this is no punishment ? Is it net the very identical punishment which in two recent instances, • was indicted on two great and notorious delinquents ? ! If this be no punishment then did Lord MELVILLE, and Gen. Warrit.ocse, entirely escape the jus. tine due to their crimes ! If this be no punishment, then. did the full impunity of those distinguished cri nsinala, aggravate the nations injuries by Jesuit, de lusion, sad 'imposture! But if it be a punishment..•! then are the Gathollcs punished for their religion then ere the restrictions under which they labour properly denominated reenCUTION. And let it let be forgotted, that the more generous and noble Spirits will spire at the idea of entering upon a rim, merely to witness their less unfortunate corn. petiters, arrive one after another at the 'goal from which they ate tbettiselves unjustly precluded. It results thus from the obvious and acknowledged principles of hirman natures that our impolitic and obnoxious restrictions upon the Catholics produce the most severe punishment to the very characters which It is our duty and Interest chiefly to encourage and promote—characters the most capable of rendering valuable *evicts to the country—the most imps. tient df degrilarion and injustice—and the most sus. ; ceptible of gratitude, for any benefits which may be conferred on them. That the disabilities which at. tech to the profession of the Catholic Faith, operate • much more generally and extensively than is imagined, to the injury of those to whom they apply, I ant fully convinced. Suppose the case of a Catholic, who, by unwearied industry, attention, and frugality, had amassed , a considerable fortune—whose son, in consequence of the liberal education which had been bestowed on him, had acquired a bias in favour of some liberal pursuit or profession—for instance, the profession of the Law • how is this father to estimate the disadvantages un der which his son enters into life ? By a mercenary computation of the value of the different dignities or employments frOm wbich he is excluded? Certainly not. . Let him not • fail le reckon largely ea the moral effect ,of these .exclue sions—how far they wilt damp' the ardour, enfeeble the efforts,' rithsx the indosti, and ,perseverance of his she. Let him anxiously refiect, Whether', by forbidding his son to aspire to eminence, these dalmatian emy ' .aid :effectually prevent him front attaining - to- :mediocrity. The same reasoning is applicable to. 'the. Army, the Navy, Political pursuits, la. .and it roses horse to the business and . bosoms of all men, for the constant fluctuation of wrath which takes place its a commer cial coontry,• 'offers no rank or description of per sons to be indifferent to these conaideradtms • they who are poor t‘4 . lay l asay,at a future period, become rich; and that indignation which is te.day exalted' by sympathy, may "to-morrow Be . the effect of experi ence. There issnither consideration which must not be omitted on this subject. Thepersecetion to which the Catholics. are new su bject is persecution by fine. I deem• them to be Spiticted, on account of their re li g i on , p rec i se ly so much honour and emolument as thee would collectively hive obtained if 'they had pike eti Protestant; this_ fir has, fry cirr.- - - erase intlonal 41 this ith ~.~ . tiecesaary delivered frof . .. , • country .. __ attackeil. corrupt ' . . , jirEntOtlTll ELECTION • GONIM+RE. another should be a - ildued. - It . might he urged on . ence was to , be • exerted, - die lost plate from whence suck . _ ... ..swo..•••• • .
