Yes, Sir, it seemed as if our sufferings from our fellow men were iiisefficient...llll if the Wilt of the HeiTY Mere wattling to finish what mail had It ft undone. As if himetlf, beat on our destruction, were about to cons ole the work of our annihilation, by the tremendous a ; :eticy of famine and pestilence.

This, Sir, was an impressive, an awful lesson. It could nut be forgotten—it kw not hero forgotten to us. " It is line I may br told that the questioo of Catholic Claims wits shortly after discussed in the Doltish Portia. mein, and three Climate rejected. But then followed the removal of the Army and Navy Restrictions, ■n Act passed in a manner that seemed to avoid mu the expressiou of role thauks. It may be recollected, that the great Cliainpion of Intolerance wos chosen, nod elitnien because be mar the Champion of Intolerance, as the organ to the House of Commons, of one of the must learned and venerable Bodies ill the empire, the University of Oxford. But let it nut be forgotten, ttrit un the re •al of that individual from this coil Irv, the way was opened for the introduction of the man, of all others, the best calculated to raise our droopaig heads—to cheer our dejected hearts. I repeal it, that if we suppose the attention of the British Government tor have EE been steadily arid conscientiously directed to the nielioi at ion of the state of Ireland, the selection must have fallen on Mr. Grant, as the person must deeply pledged, and therefore the most proper to achieve that object. While I insist on this, do nut imagine I have forgotten the sealous and onto reit, rated exertions of many of our friends in the British SWIM... No, Sir—we have many and able advocates, but even of those, the most part will be found to consider our itoestitin un rather narrowed grounds. One asks securities, a Mat of MUI !KW ISO mar conscience', as if all identity of interests with our fellow•subjects would out become the time St cistity fur us as for them. Another says, we ate gu nned to the confidence of Government conditionally, as lung as we continue loyal; as if disloyalty were not to be visited um the individual who i■ guilty, not ou the Creed which he professes. Such support is nut v. ry Paneling— yet even for this support we should he thankful. But there is another class, or more properly speaking, one mum of another class, who argues for us, without tithe► the consi deration of securities or eireurnstaiters—who declares that a full participation of the Isenelits of tie• Coustitutiuts is our just claim—our unalienable rtglii—and that those w ho resist this claim, act contrary to the .!ietates of justice and moral right. Tlti. mall is Mr. Griot, to whose zeal in our cruse, we are about to autteraJd the stimulus of conciliated affection. " hat us now stop for a moment—it shall lie hut for a mo ment, for I have already trespissed tot) much on your atten tion.

We hove abstained from protesting against %vi lifier's., which we dirt tout adopt, because we contrived, and surely with justice, that we were out answerable for the er ✓ors of iudividuals. It +as the policy of the country parts of Ireland, of oui selves among she 110.ither, not to give ut. terancv to our feelings of disapprobation, however strongly eve disapprove the conduct of particular men.

" SIR—WC approach you with sentiments of the most un. feigned rt spert, and rejoice at the ocessiou, which, by bring ing wu to our native tountry, 11111 placed you within the reach of the personal express' of our gratitude. * We have long admitted rod revered those talents and that wisdom, which, in 1813, so eloqueutly and so power fully exposed, in the Imperial Pat [Moho, that ' perinciuuts and fatal system,' which reminded from the common lot of the Empire' as large a poi' of its sobj, cis as the Calker. lies of Great Britain and Ireland—which sheered that redo- Con to he nut an ' integral part of the Cutest itutio.i, but au exception to it, to be deplored as a calamity'—a system which proceeds upon ideas irreconcilcabk with troy no tions of well-regulated freedom—which destroys the liar. moray of fellow feelings that is CHWIIIi3I, out only to the hap lint to the very existence of au empire—which nut only creates a DISTINCTION hut produces a DEGRADATION of one ervist,astrl au extravag silt exaltation of THE MI FE— a system which it was the merit to keep alive the rte ligotits animosities, and to slump afresh on every genes-slim, the crimes stud follies of the preceding—which has succeeded iu correcting the influence of lime in rescuing extinguished crimes and deemed resentment from thus transmitting, not only unimpaired, bat smug:hutted, from age to age, all the anguish and indignation of the first de feat—all the Gush and wantonness of the first conquest n * We had, Sir, as a blesses:le to our country, that wise ex ercise of the Socereigst power which placed such talents and such wisdom to the high station to which you are •ppuinterl ; and in this sentiment, though we may be among the most early to express it, we know that we only participate with oar countrymen at large, and that in offering to you the nell.earind reward of our cordial snit heartfelt thanks, we rare surly doing what JCSTICE as well is GRATITUDE demands from every Catholic in leetaad. * filer, in rendering to you this shhe of grateful thanks, we Cannot but feel some sorrow from the reflection, that, %Lough six years have nearly elapsed since that signal Ili,- play of eloquence and wisdom in our revisor, yet such has been our visirfurtuue, and such the force of prejudice arrainst os, that those labours have nut yet produce d t heir fruit. We tiofist tactilely are still straugera to many orate must precious privileges of a Constitution which we revere, and to be ail. mutes; 0 the rOLI. enjoyment of which is the fit et wish of our hearts n this side the grave ! Nay, Sir, not only are we de prived Ly law, as it now stands, of the higher and usury dis tinguished pri•ilret s it that Citiactutittion,hut by the malig. Dant Influence which those incapacitating laws shed over the privileged order of our fellow.suhjerts (au influence, Inset'. *holy to themselves, operating against on in the minds of the most estimable and honourable men), we arc tit effect and substance excluded from the benefit of those suture humble 11.141 ureauer rights to which the mild and enlightened spirit et modern legislation has thought expedient to re.adinit us. Though we live in • corporate town, of whose iultabitante we cunentute a very large majority —though by ou E r COMMRCE, our Staayeacxonta, aril our INDUSTRY, 50 Plivrt • Inv" partionably greater number of its numerous population,assd in the sense proportion contribute to all the exigencies of the State, yet are we, with the exception of iWcr individuals, ex cluded from its Corporation—deer iced, of course, of all its Corporate advantages, and subjected to all its Corpo rate impositions. Nor does the coil stop lwre—une dear and invaluable privilev, amidst our incapaci t tee and privations, die wisdom an justice or the legislature had restored to us—a quALtrits ELECTIVE ESANCHISII-- (instilled, by rests teeing our cMner to a Protestant Candidate, a restriction which, as you have truly observed, r the OM. dilution in tio other instance recognises.' Even this re. et:retie' and curtailed privilege, bowtver, we sere grateful For, and we hoped to ettloy—for it NU one, Us the exercise of which we fondly thought we needed not the permission or the concurrence of a Corporation. Yet even THIS, the spirit of Corporate monopoly and exclusion envied us, and in the practical developenteut of that fatal watchword PROTESTANT ASCENDANCY,' the Elective Franchise itself is unjustly sought to be wrested from our bands!—Strangers to us and aliens to our tows' are admitted to Corporate Freedom, fur the avowed and boasted purpose uf annulling our privilege— thus teaching us the bitter lesson, that whatever the Legisla tare may iu its wisdom enact in our favour, the • Laws shall not, iu any sense, flow from ourselves, loot shall be enacted by ' men not only differing from us In manures, 'satins, and religion,' but men whom we personally &sap prove of, and shunt we are male by this contrivaace nod confederacy, vainly to oppose. Why is it, may we nut ask, that we are thos doomed to suffer? It is nut that we are disloyal; uo man can imorach our loyalty—it is not that we are inferior in any moral quality towns. fellow subjects—that we are not as iudnatriuus, as anitusble to the Laws, and as faithful in on. discharge of all the relative ditties uf life—it is only because we arc Caviinuirs! It is because the Law has set a mark of IIft.SCIIIIIiOII npfin our forehead, sod there fore every mosupalist, every Ingot, every man who hates ur who envies, thinks he finds a sanction in the Law itself fur their *ma contrivance of persecution, exclusiou, and wrong ! • " This, Sir, is • very short abstract of the complicated evils which the present system of Penalties and Exclusion inflicts Num is. Your appointment to the 6igli office, which you tmour, we hail as auspicious, leading to a better order of things.

" I feel convinced," he said, " that the Gentlemen whom 1 now addiese, will give me full credit when 1 naive them, its whatever situa tion i■ life chant e or circumstances may place me—where ever Catholic feeling or Catholic opi gg iiii , grounded, as I do conceive it is in the present instance, on a pure principle of gratitude, makes a stand, it is them, and there wily, that I shall take toy station.
