F I , . ) , . i [ ) , t 1 lIIITEDOM or DISCUSSION AS ro PUBLIC MEASURES. VRE first right of man is existence ; the second, that of thinking.—Whoever dare attack these, offers renal violence to nature aid to reasen. From the right of thinking result, that of speaking, writing, - 'refitting, and freely connnunicating our thoughts. Those great literal and political truths which have always existed, and which we hope %sill continue to exist, have derived their origin from the natural r:glits of mate By whet strange infatuation could airy one, in these times, think of divlging' those principles, and infringieg those rights ?—ln what' goxertuuent, professing to be free, could any. one, in his senses, dare ttaimpose shackles upon the Liberty of the Press ?—None but a corrupt government, wherein the seeds of despotism and slavery are met with,.would tolerate such a design. The Liberty of the Press is a natural right trowi the liberty of think jug. Nay more, it is instituted by a moral and poli tical right, not only to inform mankind with respect , to their privileges and duties, but also to perfect go- , vernment, check governor, and confine public officers within the circle of their reciprocal fine tions. Thus should the Liberty of the Press be a cmisiant guardian over public affairs, and over pub lic 'Ministers, without which its effects would he very precarious, and often unavailing, for the safety of the People and the prosperity of tine By what strange fatality.do, some wish to screen Mi nisters from publie mature ? Men who have not been appointed by the People —who are the agents of a power always to be watched by the Purple, and dreaded by Liberty—even whose influence, extending' over veer' , part of Administration, tends to the con leant disorgenizittion of those partsitill.they beerier° entirely subjected to :arbitrary will. Yet .this is a species of men, whose self-love we are to be are tlpli not to offend, and on whose public conduct we are not to criticise ! To propose such a line of conduct to mankind in general, is the height of meanness, _ ; error, and presumption. What ! shall we not dare to tell a Minister that he is unfit for his office ; that be is an enemy to the Constitution ; that he is a trai tor to his Country, when the effects of his mal-ad iinistration, his conduct, and his intrigues, with those of his adherents, are as glaring as the sun at soon-day, and ate felt, severely felt, on all sides ? We must have legal material proofs, say his partisans, before we can venture to hold him up to the view of the world !—Why not render Ministers inviolable as well as Kings ?—and why not extend that inviolabi lity to their Secretaries, Under-secretaries, and all the herd of Placemen and Sycophants whom they keep in constant pay, to puff their acts of go vernment, and to deceive the nations N---eO, ye Prinees.of the Earth ! how much are you to be pitied when your minds are not exalted to the tune of that dignity and reason which befits you—when. your blinducss misleads, or your eassions event*, you—when you Suffer yourselves to le-brought hitt% subjection by the imperious- till of a Prime 'Minis. , ter!—Yon an not see, that if Severe public censure, hoe ever avrited, be directed ageing certain charac ters high is office, it is liable to Ir prosecuted as se ditious or libellnus against the Executive Power, though the agents so censured are not recognised in the Constitntiun, not having been appointed by the people. On the contrary, hy virtue of their ap..l poineneuts, they ant- devoted to 4he Kin, and by I no means to the nation; they will, therefore, *leapt be indifferent to the liberty of the subject. Nothing I more is wanting to the Minister, whose tesponsibie: lily is already bet too illusive, than to be exempt' from the criticisms of writers, and from the striea (tires of public journals. We •eutiutait., that-no law ought to exist against the Libetty of the Press, either as to public affairs, .or to men in power. The only offence which the press can commit against the i laws, is that of direct calumny against the repute.. i tiOn and integrity of an individual, for which the prrion injured bas a right to demand justice in a Court of Law. It is not, however, to the general Liberty of the Press that we ought to look for the perpetration of Ibis crime. It is to the incoosidece ateness of the man who abuses that liberty from the dictates of prioare revenge, or the impulse of moral epravitsi ; whereas, in the censure directed against a pablic character, a Minister, for example, whether It originates from -real or. supposed facts, as long as it relates only to the disclosure or indication of . certain, i rivist:omeauceses, plotte.asiutrigues against the public interest, the law ought to hare no power over the writer or publisher. This is a clear and precise dis- I tinction. It explains the inconclusiveness of those who would confound 'writers that calumniate for their own private ends, with those who have only in view the general welfare of the country, and who wish to I keep public ppinjon !make ou.the conduct and pur suits of a.Ministee,* or other persons in power. If ! a man, in a public station, has a clear conscience, the suspicions orcalurnuieethat may be darted against him, will, of themielves, faill.tcOhe ground. There is a natural justice above all political precaution.— Let it also be remembered, that there have been wicked and corrupt men, who held the reins of go. 'torment; that there have • been judges expert at convictions—who have been round.fayourable to the strop;,' and inetembia to the weak. Besides, shall a man for the excess of his seal—for warning., his country men of an imminent • danger, which be stone haithecourageto point oat—shaft he be prose- • cited, thrown into terison, and' ter all the disquie tudes, vexatiens, end torments,thatbare been institut. ed for the pueishinent and Cerreetion of a real mat*. Rectory Superfluous as this question may appear at first sight, we, in fact, live a period, while such seems &rein rearityacted before our eyes—when hadividuala, whose only offence was thit of exerrifing a feeedoes of discussion, free from private revenge_or moral; elan. write', which every man has a right, to exeresse,.... Yet we are .told that this is a land of •liberty, entl that we ought to be thankful for the manifold bles sings which we enjoy yder the reign of a. amsoficelat, pious, and benevolext Plnscs . . , . 7 `:x.«y %.. 64 I ask the people of Englantll. ask the ho-. 1 ,Mane and liberal of Ireland, whether it is pot cruel 1 to load the peasants with all the wandering popr in the kingdom, and to extort from•ttseir feellngs the ~ I 'pittance of which they theniselelpriri'bbjecti F Bet if it s:,ould be deemed inelipediehrbi.idipelitic to ; t introduce poor's rates, there is no reascni vrlty Par ttiameot ought not to interfere, and aficbsi to the [ma= i sentry the means of relieving the distressed, - by Int !proving their own'eondftion, and Inducing the land lords to acquiesce irt.suCh.a measure, or tb ablibithe consequences. The latter- well know.

" Stierbwr or T H E Poon.—l, have a strong aver. stun to any mode of relieving the poor, that could possibly ,eecourage idleness or relax industry; .but when our fellow-beings are -really objects of corn. passion and charity. then surely relief should be given ; and means be always found to perform what I nature, justice, and civilization demand from us.— Ponr's laws are. undoobteilly a heavy barthen in lit g lat)d, and must be felt as such in all countries that adopt them ; but this is a very light argument in the scale, against absolute want -and undeniable wrett lethiess. When necessity. calls for them we ~shoUld yield, and, as men and Christians, rejoice in the discharge of an act so noble and conducive to satisfaction here, as well as deserving of enutterable reward hereafter. No motives of worldly prudence can therefore absolve any people from this great duty of distributing a portion of what Heaven has given them, as trustees for the naked and hungry ; no general - reasons of policy covering selfishuoss, can resist the solicitat km of the truly indigent; and it is most honourable for England, that she can be re ferred tois i model worthy of imitation in the ex • tilted u ork of lennahily. In Scotland alsolhere is ample provision made fur the poor; by parochial its sessments and amicable arrangements, without the i etcpence or the neichiuery.of those laws which clog i the English system. ' • 1 " But j blush to ask the landlords of Ireland, what provision have they matte for their fine pea santry ? When stretched on a wad of straw in his , sooty cabin, a place of itself infectious, and worse than an Englis pigstye, whence can -the peasant ie . ceive medicine ornnv kind of comfort ? Ifuman nature shudders at a conditioh n hich overwhelms him with despair 'and agonies, bereft of all the means supplied even to hounds and 'horses. Is therea place, from ! one end of the kingdom to the other," set apart for the sick or dying of this class ? Is it not a reproach to civilization to' meet men, women, and children, [when able to go omit, crawling on: the roads, to and 'from country physiciansl But of what avail is ad.i vice, when they have not money to purchase medi eines ? At that season when they, are - periodically I afflicted with "pleurisy" and "stitches in the side*" 1 from the badness of their food, and from the effeete of being barefoooted in wihter as welt as summer, ir there any provision made for their relief, or any effort tried to recover these men of Ireland , and de fenders of the liberty of England. When they sweep ' his eagles away from the common enemy, and pur chase with their blood the reward of valour conferred * upon them by the bead of the Government, all rank are emulous to be Irish, and to acknowledge the peat. !wintry ; but when laid low, helpless, and suffering I the most excruciating pains, brought on by hardships' 1 and eztreme poverty, then, a h ! curse on human !baseness! they are - shamefully deserted. How many of them are in this condition at the me. ment . that lam writing ? And how many all • lying extended on the hare. ground, breathing their last in tortures, unpitied by . those who could afford them succour! Nobles and gentry,' transport yourselves to the house of mourning for one minute, and cast a glance at . your departed tenant; listen to the shrieks of his widow, and the I piercing cries of the fatherless children ; look at the I aged mother gisiug her trembling kneJs to hit head for a pillow, unable to find vent; by tears or utter ance, for her sorrows. Go—witness this scene, and have the manhood to acknowledge the real cause of the discouteut of the people, and why their blond has been shed by insurrections and rebellion •=thes prostrate yourselves before the Creator of the VlA verse, and supplicate forgiveness with a sincere re solve of future amendment. But what is to become of his family ? • Who will clothe them when ttakA, or feed them when hungry ? • Who will sheltet times 1 from the inclemency of the weather, or gibe them a night's lodging ?---Alas ! Erin's unfortunate chil dren have no home or refuge but the peasant's hat, where they can repose their wearied limbs and re ceive sustenance : ' for, there,: says Young, ' the stranger is always invited to partake of the poor man's bowl of potatoes with a hearty welcome.' . • 'AN. .

The. ATTORNEY-CA EXEIrAL observed, that before the decision of the Court, hie the case of Lickbarrow e.
