Mr. GRATTAN, in rising ro call the attention of the House to this important subject, stated himself 1 to be perfeetly ready, in consequence of what . had ' come out on former occasions, to change the na. 8 r 7 7: .c-9 ; r F.' Li c LT N 4 e FRID 4 J', APRIL, 24, 1812. •euns of his motion. He would, therefore, make it a Motion fur the mere consideration of the Catholic Cairns. •lluring this,. he trusted, those who had rippled him before, would be ready to vote for hiM now. Those who thought the situation of the Ca tholics ought in any respell to 'be altered, t lithe who thought they ought to be enfranchised' in every re sped, and those who thought they ought to be par tially enfranchised, upon certain conditions in a 'cord, all but those who meant to shut the doors of Parliament against them for ever, he hoped would vote for the motion which he was about to submit to the Heuse. The consideration of the Catholic Question he wished coupled with another consider ation, that of the situation and condition of the kingdom. These were but two countries which cotrd be very much affeded by these decision s, Ireland and America. , In others, fortune might do a greet deal for them, as in Spain and Portugal, for instance; but Ireland and America their folly might • ruin, or their wisdom might save, and with their destinies, the destiny of England was joined ; and if our conduct towards them were unwise, we ,might lose our anchor in the old world, with our power end interest in the new. The question did not now conned with any temporary bar that might hsveiheretofore been opposed to the Cetho:ics.— Every thing of this descriteien had been rethotied. They' might lament the cause, but they must ac knowledge the fad. The question was now to stand on its own principles, to be decided on, not with a reference to any extraneous circumstances, but solely with a reference-to its merits. The doom of Ireland was now before them; and if they decid ed that its prayer should not be heard, they deprived three-fourths of the, people of Ireland, and oree-' fourth of the people of the British Empire of their civil rights and liberties for ever. Gentlemen who might say they would not now vote for an inquiry into the subjed, meant they never would ; but to such a sentiment they would not give its appropri ate 'phraseology, as there was a something too mon strous, too abominable, too unimaginable to such an expression. It went to exclude the people of Ire land for ever, from the enjoyment of their civil liberties in their own country, it they 'continued conscientiously to fell'oee the religion of their h: arts. Religion was the property of oo one, the gospel and revelat4cin were the gift or God, and it was.for man to interpret them in the best way he cenld with the understandieg God had given eim. Irishmen. rs &shipped theireGod , without a license from the King, 'end the, exercise of their religiOn constituted their comfort here and their hopes of salvation and happiness hereafter. Those, then, -who presumed to interrupt t hetu•in the discharge 'of 'this duty, for feted their owls,: and p(leal an niejustitiaole part evilest their fhliow cteatres and against the rig.is oh men. He did not mean to deny that there might be citcumstances canneded"with religion which might , justify and even cell for Legislative, interference, This might be proper when cercemstances were mixed up with reheion, which went to aired the ley ilty of the subjea. In such a - case,. Goeernment ought to interfere, but then it ,00ght . to henot with the reli gion, hie with the disobedience. Here no such 'die rosechence could be proved. Here practical proofs 'of allegiance were - given, when' it was known that Irish Catholics Acre. every day d ing in our service; and possessing this knowledge of their conclect, the falsehood of the assertions, made to the prejudice of the Catholics, must hErknown. - T'hat witch appear ed to give a colouring of truth to the statements which were made on this head w e re, in point of t a d, a reproach to the Government. The assertions .that the heed of the Roman Catholic Church could absolve the . subjed from his allegiance, and that the Catirol,cs could feel theinseltes bound by leo °ells to keep faith with Pretsseents, were answered by this fad, that it was impossible for them to be true. If true,' it would have beer) impossible for the Go vernment of any Roman Catholic country to have held together. for, one year. These assertions hail been solemnly contradicted by six Universities; by those of Rotten, Paris, Dourly, Val idolid, seed Salamanca. These Universities free dented that Ole Pope had rely temporal power in the pieta's dominions; and to the queation whether a Catholic could feel himself bound by any oeh to lie. p faith with a Protestant, they had answered with the horror and disgust, which it might well be ex peetel to' call forth. Such : statements, however, were aoswered in a way which could not . ad nit Of tuisintet pretation ; they were anse ered by fads opposed to sophistry. The very papers on their fable acciniyted the Catholics, and proving their in t:cermet., convicted the Legislature of he istice to -wank them.., le addition to this, he might mope the sanetion whirs they themselves had given to the evidence to which he had alluded, and the in ; nurnerahle Petitions which had been presented in support of their claims. Where, he would ask, were those Petitions %lomat them, which they had been told they night raped ? Where were those Petitions, beneath the weight of which it had - been said the table would bend, against the prayer of the Catholics ? Where was the Petition from the Ciiy ' of Loudose ? Where the Ktition from the Unit er xity of Dublin ? Where were those Petitions which• were to speak the alarm of the people, and call upon them to defend England from the prevalence of the influence of the Pepe, and the seven sacraments, by hostility to the civil liberties of the Catholics, and by an eternal separation of the interests of Eng land and Ireland ? •Witle respetit to the Church, where was' the horn of alarm which was to have been sounded ? Where were the clee e y who were s to damn all who differed from themselves ? Where the pulpits which were to exhibit the barriers of in tolerance, and the ensigns of bigotry with all the fervor ots Ecclesiastical hostility ) Instead of doll divines attempting to distinguish themselves, by acting such a part, it was theirs to witness a more gratifying spedecie. It was theirs to see with pious z. al and anxious humanity the clergy corning for- ``tat' 't* - ~ _....._. . , „ ..:.::,.:..: a® ...„........„._.... ~„....„, i . c,...i...„„................• , ;,. 7 , 1(4; ... a , ' I. - •( t .- • _ s l) 1 . .., • , .4 ''..l •1111 , ...f o kii s . , ' }lira lO, iW. . 4IP -.....•••••• ', iSk ' •,.. .0 • 3 ,3 icr9T !, aricr . .... n [pit IC 11 S EXPIZ,NrI . -;-' AI, F ward to Cali for the relief or their Cii aula. while the voice of the people was loud .in their favour. They had before them a Petition from WI every of London, End there they found that priCtes lar prejudice was neither against Irish lib erty , nor English honour;‘ and this was another pro o f o f tiro humane feeling and good sense of the people of England. They had ,before them Petinens from all parts of. Ireland. , Petitions had bee., p oure d i n from North to South, from East to West, so that he might say, they were by almost •the whole po pulation of Ireland. • Among the names that a I), . peered would be• seen that of Latouche. This Gen tleman had formerly opposed the granti ng o f t h e• concessions required by the Catholks, and now mark. the change—brought ,round to. a sense of tbejus tice of their claims, and of the necessity of attend ing to them, he -came forward to sign a petition io their favour. He, independent of the King, and attached to nothing but the good of his country, had thus given the great authority of his name i n t h e i r - behelf. They were supported by the g4at names of Leinster and Ormond, and others of Great im portance, by a great number of Protestant Proprie tors, of Protestant Merchants, and of Preabyteri anS-, and other-religious sects. He congratulated the Protestant interest on the meekness and beee voience which they had displayed, on toe true spirit of Christian charity by which they appeared to be (titillated in thus coming forward to solicit for the Catholics a participation in their civil liberties. He congratulated them on the warning voice which they had raised. If after that any ill should ensue, they unquestionably would be exposed to the dan ger, but still they would have the satisfai.. - bon of having done their best to avett the storm. He wish ed the (louse to consider who was their petitioner. .Who was a; It, was the Kingdom of Ireland. • They had taken from her !lei Parliament, 'and she now came to petition them in person. It was a petitioner who, in various ways, contributed little less than 20,000,0001. annually to the support of the Empire. Had they increased her taxes, taken from her her Parliament, and would they now send her i .from their bar without granii-ng that for which she prayed,• and on which the interests of' three fourths of her people depended ? Surely they could not do so. - The inetinet of their nation would not edlow them to do so---their sense of justice would no: let them. He was not afraid of Court indu- • ence—he had encountered it, in . 1782, altd he had beat it down. It was in vain to think the Church Could be employed. in favour of proscription and bi gotry, as' 'it was known that theme a very different feeling isedsted. He called upon the House to took, if they DOW rejected hi.; proposition to take the, - claims of the Catholics into their consideiatiosi, and dins determined on continuing their disabnit:es tot ever, of what breaches of engagements they would be They would give him leave to• tell them, how much the honour of the Nation and of Government was concerned ? He could not forget the services the Catholics had rendeted the Stateiti s 178 g, and their hearty and cordial support at other periods ; nor wield he forget that they nad been led to hope that a time would arrive, I ween, fur those_ exertions, they might confidently ask what tliv re queed, of the grateful recollection of Et:gian t !, He could not forget how they had been taught to hope, that " a great coming was on its way," to • end . their ; nor could he forget hew like the lsraelites of old they had followed faint and needy to the wilderness, and charms ed with the prospect hope displayed before them, • blessed the barren soil they trod, while thair eyes were fixed on the promised (and.--- He could not forget the disappeintment they had met with when on the verge of that promised I , ; )et still he could not think a Pritieely prom aid been - made to be broken ; that the misfortie• s of their forefathers shoul t be entailed upon them, aad ah3o upon th'sir innocent posterity. He woul:1 re- Mind the House rif the promise held out at the tine it the Union, that all civil disabilities should be re- Moved. The Union e•ould never have b.:en pbtain ed but for the expeolitiens of this nature, which ware excited at Wat period. If such an engagement was not ptoted e to have been made.aecoroing - to the letter of the law, he would say; that in - spirit, .a pro mise had been given. He did not come to ask it as that to which he was entitled from the letter of the booti e but as that to which he was entitled from its spit it. Confidence in the English name, made hint hove this appeal would' be attended to, but if it were not, - why then he would say that, in rehishig to do so, they might depend upon it, they repealed the Union. Doing this, they would tell England and Ireland they were no longer one, but two na. lions. They would not oulr say this, but they would do it ;--they would make England and Ireland iwo nations.. They would destroy their incorporation ; it would be dissolVed by despair. They would not only make them two nations, they would rredses them two nations with different, nay, with hostile~ . interests, and engage each in ads ehat would tend to injure the other. An Union should.consist of two parts ; the one should be the union of the Parlia . merit ; the other the union of the people. He saw the union of the Parliament, he saw We utnou of the power, but where was be to look for the union of the people ; Where was he to look for that con solidation which united their interests ; where -for that spark which should animate the whole; and where for that gigantic whole which should ne ready to s:retch out its hundred arms for the service and support of the empire ? There existed no such , hing; and that there did exist no such thing, was io be traced to the circumstance to which he had alluded ; to that of our not having realised the expectat.oes which were entertained, at the time Of the pas ing of the Union Adt,by the Catholics of Ireland.= The Catholics now called on them to give those rights in which they were then led to believe they would ba allowed to participate; and the Protestants called en them also to listen to the Catholic Claims r.t,
