All these will be in maintenance of opi nions on which the intelligent classes of our community. and even - the branches of our Legislature, are unfortunately divided ; and therefore all this seems fitted to produce a scene not in the slightest degree discreditable to those who are likely to partake of it, involv ing no indecorum on their parts ; yet, perhaps, at the same time, not precisely that in which it is right a Judge should be an actor, and a mere spectator he can scarcely be. Either a tone, which it might be quite correct (or the company in general to assume, will be suppressed from a delicate regard to his peculiar situation, and thus his presence will impose a disagreeablo constraint; or he may have to listen to, to join in, or abstain from, that which, if he joins tn, he mixes more in conflicting polities that suits his station ; and 'from which, If lie refrains, he may mar, in some degree, the harmony , of the meeting, and make, to tar, an ill return for the hospitable honour which has been dune him. Perhaps my scruples are too punctilious. You will, however, do me the justice of recollecting that they are not recently, for the first time, taken up; but that I entertained and acted on them ',e yeful years ago, when I received an honour similar to that whent has just been done me. There are public convivial meetings which persons of the judi cial order are in the habit of attending from time to time, yet *here occurrences !may take place, in which they might think it as eel that they did not participate. 13at meettort, such as I advert to, are not necessarily, •perhsps are not properly, of a political com plexion. The public-spirited expression of such loyal sentiments aa all constitutional and liege subjects are bound's() entertain, mar in those assemblies be justified and expected; but we ate not to anticipate occurrences of a party nacre. Experience may, indeed, hove ahowu that they occasionally take place. But in, theretore e making it a rule to avoid such meetings, we might go too far. In uniformly absenting themselves because of such a risk, the Jedges might withhold their presence from some recognised public boeee, to whom a degree of respect is constitetioneily due, and who are entitled to whatever lustre the attendance of public fanctivemees and official rank may'give. AU that remains is. if there be a tram. passion of decorum, quietly to withdraw.: or if a sentiment be ex pressed which may convey a constitutional, or be interpreted to it:. sinuete, a party feeling, to record that we only join in it because w e take it in the former sense. But the case of a convivial meeting formed of private petsonse, and closely connected with political opinions, on which the palate: are divided. I feel to bee different one from that which I have been putting; while, at the same time. I feel that the purposes of such. a meeting may not only be warrantable, but praiseworthy, and those who compose it persons of the highest respectability gad ho- nour. lam more than afraid that I have been prolix. If I bare, my. apology must be, hat I am most anxious to satisfy my Roman Ca tholic countrymen that no feeling inimical to them, or to their in.. serest', stands between me and a prompt acceptance of their kind and honourable invitation. I have preferred assigning the it a reasons for my declining it. to inventing a civil and plausible ex cute. And I have not time, nor I believe talent, for courpre►sing my explanations within a smaller compass. On the name grounds on which I am declining an honour. for which, at the same thee, I feel grateful. I would assuredly reject an invitation to attend a meeting, however respectably composed. held spontaneously, to promote opinions. and to forward views. ad verse to those in which your approaching tap= will have had i:s origin. I did accordingly, several years ago, in' the North of Ire land, decline an invitation to meet a company of an highly attrac tive and respectable description, tut amongst whom I learned that Anti.t'Atholic sentiments were to be very zealously proclaimed. Oa the whole, I persuade myself that those who have offered tube try hosts set too much value on impartiality in a Judge. to be offended at my declining to join their party. when they know that ray reaun is an objection to joining any. If, in my time, it should please the Legialatuse so to alter the present laws as to raise the Catholics, by a final adjustment, to a political rank, satistactory at once to thew feelings and to those or the Protestants of Ireland, and that I were Mined to a con vivial festival, held tor the purpose of rejoteing ewer this event, I should consider the moment in which 1 was accektir.g it mows off the happiest of my public life.
