-=•••• 4 . (FROM THE DUBLIN EVENING - fs • • • Vrf - • .osr.) C.4TrIOLIG MEETING. The 3 ,l j.ittrned General Meeting of the Catholics Of Ire, lull, pursuant to appointment in July last, Wes held at the lt..pository, in Stephen's-Gritty, Dubliti, on Friday I ist, the ‘2:l of November.. An itosious and numerous assentblag! of m(0 respectahh! Cath,:lics attended for some time, in cx. tectition of Lord FINGAL'S apps - trance ; but at. Icng h, Counsellor O'CoNNELf. Wei the Chair at ° two u'clOcli, and many country gentlemen entered. Counselldr O'GOR.NIAN opened the business. Ile stafeih that the (mini and hotiourable lehours f the Committee had not been crowned with that itiec.ess which their zeal had merited ; that a differ. once of °Onion had existed at the last General litsetilg, fatal to the vital interests of the Catholics of Ireland. lie thcii expatiated on the advantages of unanimity, and argued at considerable length, that every discussiou advanced the cause of his coml. .try. Ile was decidedly fcr a continued system of incessant pelitionin„:, and to illustrate his opinion be took a review of the progress of the Catholic ' Cause thit by such as; stem alone, the public mind of England could be rescued from the Btu. pid barhariim into which it had sunk ; and he would ask how could tic object be effected, unless idol._ niatien were conveyed to ti,e illiberal bigots by the irresistible Gars: of reiterated 'discussion * . That discussion entivince the public of the motives of the despei tie and infatuated .piety which resisted the justice of cause, and was averse to accede w the unanimous claims of four millions of his cutout ryiwm. That as far as he had art op. portuaity of ex itnining the sentimenis of the peo, plc to*ards their Government, he found them dna.. nimous in the opinion of. the necessity of a coutis 13 tic d utivaried system of petitioning ; that he could state Oat came within the scope of his own observation, in the seventh county, ib pOint of rank, in Ir. I inol. In that county, containiitg' upwards of 3 b,OOO what iS ma. terial to remark; containing more of the ancient blood than could-be found in any other county ;in that county, at a gencrilmieeting, it had been una, vimously r...solved to.petition, and to persevere in a continued, unvaried sySte:n of petitiottide, till the attainwei . it of their rights—and so fardid -thdy pnr. sue the principle, that a Committee of %t Gentle- Cymru was appointed to co-operate with R,i.pre teotatives from different other parts of Ireland, in the great cause of their cuuntry. In the se. einyil county inlrellnd a similar decision his Viten place ; hot not much effect could be produced la?" applications from , detached Witte of the Catholics, as the completion of their withes must result from the co.operatitig efficacy o't the *hole. "To me, it is a debasing and degrading flection.to say, that a Catholic shotild not havO the freedom, the port; anti the dignity of a Piotesfant: I feel ire • w when I see this aseersian flung . in the face of a Catholic; as if .he were punk in such base apathy amid slavish .torpor as- not to feel an inclina tion to help himself, at the moment he belief& the Protestant coming torward on his behalf. Is it not a foul shame that we should remain in sullen indif ference, and neglect our rights ? I cannot atoid noticing a topic, which, although not immedi ately hearing on, the question, carries moth in. tenet with it, and which occurred on a recent occasion. I allude, Sir, to a leading, and, I viay say, an ill strious part, which you took at the late Aggregate Meeting. As •an WM. dual, I declare that I am ready to . made sacri 6ce of my property—l am ready to sacrifice My , fiery existence for the good.of my country. The repeal of the Union I am well cetiviticed would he attended with iiitstimable advantages bush to Ca. tholic and Protestant ; but I would never consent to obtain so desirable an object on, the condition of replacing the Catholic in that *tepid, barbarous sla very out of which he has emerged, and I may safely lay that the. enlightened Protestant would not ac cede to the condition. Such an arrangerne.nt would be unnecessary, because Catholic Einancipa troll and Repeal of the Union go hand in hand, and the attain. petit of the one object tends essentially to the comple. tionuf the other, as there is no step taken,fur the &- peal of the Union which does not tend to Catholic Emancipation. I have noticed these circumstances, because in that part of the country with which I am particularly acquainted an alarm had gone forth' as if the qiiestion of Catholic Emancipation • had been abandoned, from what had happened at the Aggregate Meeting. If argument were necessary, .1 would refer to those enlightened men, who form no inconsiderable (*inky of the Protestants of Ire land—they. have declared "hat Catholic Emanci. Fallon, which ' puts the Catholic •on the same footing as the Protestant, is the best means to ensure the Safety of the British empire—that by so doing, the 'strength of the Teeple could be m. re effectually called forth in defence of the Crown than by setting up barriers to separate them under the name of religion. There is no difference in opi. nion among the Catholics of Ireland—the sentiments of your brethren throughout Ireland are manifest in favour of petitioning. I have already adverted to the steps taken by the seventh county in Ireland, end also by the second, and then fume let there be an end of the idle jargon . about dignity—and if we truly desire to obtain the important object, let us buanintously put forward our rights and our claims. I therefore move, Sir, theluflowing resole. tion Rest,lvetl, That the General Coennittee be requested to pre pare Petitions to Parliament, oo our behalf, for the purpose of being presented earlyin the nest Settsions, and that tbey be continued in the management of Catholic affairs." Thu motion was seconded by Dr. DP.OIIIaOOLL . , Mr. LEES opposed the motion, principally on tho pound that it would be an insult to the dignity of the Catholics to present 'Petition. tooted the question of attjouroment. . 'lie was seconded by .
