REPEAL OF THE UNION.
Meeting at the Royal Exchange, Dublin,
fareion intelligence.
September 18, 1810.
PETITION ADOPTED.
During the year 1798, a year of foreign
invasion and domeatick rebellion, the ex
penditure of Ireland, under an Irish Par
liament, was but four Millions,
During the year 1809, a year in which
the army were so employed as to leave Ire
land under an apprehension of either inva
sion or rebellion, her expenditure by an
Imperial Parliament, was Ten Millions,
Five Hundred Thousand Pounds.
The debt uf Ireland, in 1793, was to the
debt of Great-Britain as one to one hun
dred, and is now as one to seven, and since
the Union has increased in proportion to
the debt of Great-Britain as orfe to two;
whereas had the relative resources of the
two countries been justly estimited at the
And your Petitioners submit, that so de
cided was the opinion of the Irish people
respecting the incompetency of the Irish
Parliament to enact the measure of Union,
and so strong their abhorrence of that mea
sure, and their conviction that they could
not, in the language of the immortal and
constitutional Locke, be bound by any laws
but such as are enacted by those whom
they have chosen and authorized to make
them—“ that an appeal to Heaven must in
all probability have been the inevitable
consequence, but for the pre-concerted
horrour of preceding rebellions.”
Because the rapid improvement of Ire
land under ao independent Parliament, to
gether with the annexed statement, must
demonstrate that the interests of the coun
try were much better understood, and its
resources better managed by an Irish than
an Imperial Parliament.
During the-seven years’ war from 1795
to 1802, the National Debt, under an Irish
Parliament, increased but twenty Millions.
During the seven years* war from 1802
to 1810, the National Debt, under the Im
perial Parliament, has increased forty Mil
lions.
•md extensive brntfi<», which “

dition and consolidation of interest, atrength.
and affection ’ io the Empire at large-—a.
measure which was to counteract die.rest
less machinations of an inveterate enemy—
to calm all dissentient— to allay all mikio
skies— and dissipate a|l jealduaics— which
was to communicate.tothc &&Kingdom
" the state of the and industry of
England”—and give to her a full partici
pation of the commerce and constitution of
Great-Britain.”
Your Petitioners consequently entreat the
Honourable House Io inquire wbet/iefr that
measure, which, has now been put to the
decisive test of experience, has in any de
gree been fulfilled, or whether it ia calcu
lated to fulfil the sanguine expectations of
its advocates; and whether its repeal has
not been indispensably necessary for the
accomplishments of those very ends for
which its enactment was made a pretext.
That your Petitioners humbly conceive a
revisal and repeal of the legislative Union
between Great-Britain and Ireland irre
sistibly called for by the following amongst
other considerations;
Because, from the earliest establishment
of English dominion in this country, to the
year 1782, a resident Parliament was by
the British Kings deemed necess*y, and
alone competent to understand its wants,
to encourage its resources, and promote its
interests.
Because the government of England,
while it could control the proceediugs of
the Irish Legislature, iiever proposed or
recommehded to the consideration of either
a legislative Union between the two coun
tries : bucthat when compelled to renounce
that control, and finally, to declare the
Parliament of Ireland independent, the
Ministers of England never ceased to plot
its extinction; and consequently, that the
real motive for a Union was for the mutu«l
benefits of the countries, but the trouble
and difficulty of managing an independent
Parliament and desire of procuring an in
crease of infiuelice m that of Great-Britain
Because Jhe moment seised on by the
British Minister for the accomplishment of
bis views was that least fitted for a calm|
discussion and fair investigation of the me
rits of any serious and impartial political
question; ar>d because, even under such un
favourable circumstances, the means em
ployed to effect it were moat corrupt aud
iniquitous.
Because the Parliament of Ireland “ be
ing delegated to make Laws and Legisla
tors,” could not. transfer their legislative
authority without the express sanction anti
approbation of their coustituents; and that
a decided majority of the constituent body
was hostile to the measure, is evident from
their petitions against it, and from the fact
that the Minister, even after his defeat,
feared to appeal to the sense of the people,
by a dissolution of the refractory Parlia
ment. ,
enactment of that measure, the proportion
should have been as two to seventeen.
And your Petitioners caiihct but conceive
this statement the. more irresistibly coo- 1
chrsive in favour of a repeal of the Union,
inasmuch as the warmest advocates of that*
nieasure even maintained the avowed and
iiotoiiousoor nipt ion of (fie Irish Parliament
as the strongest argument agains.-itffijL.e.
ment. Your Petitioners therefore fiunfit
to the good sente of this honourable House,
whether a still more economical inaaage
rr.ent of Irish resources and a still more en- •
larged understanding of h h,h interests, ars
not to be expected from a reformed Legis
lature, such as must exist in Ireland on a re
peal of the Union, nil the Fl»h objectiona
ble boroughs being now extinct by purchase. '
Because th«lniperinl Par lia met is com
posed of Members, five-sixths of whom
have never visited Ireland or acquired any
personal knowledge of the g -nius and cha
racter of its inhabitants—of their w.int*
and grievances; because one-sixth of even
the Irish Representatives are neither na
tives of that country, nor have ever set
foot on Irish ground ; and because, by con
sequence, the affairs of Irdhutd are neglect
ed and mismanaged, or her Interests diahp
garded. 1
Because the promises officially announced
to this country by the Rtitish Minister, as
the grounds upon which he ventured lb
propose Union, and which, though not in
serted among its articles, were considered
by the Irish people a> equally binding, were
iorifMten by him, dAo.wiisd by
SOTS, aud disregarded by ilje Impel fol Par
liament.
Because the dangers and distcesses of
Ireland have ever taken their rise
from the foilowing among other evils: From
the inattention of its landlords to tlic 'wel
fare und comfort a of thrir tenantry ; from
the foreign expenditure 6f the country,
caused by its absentees, and Its foreign na
tional debt; from its consequeut want of
capital, of trade uud tranquillity—.liecatise
all these sources of poverty and discontent
have been and ever must be increased and
multiplied by a Legislative Union between
the two countries—and because upon a re
|moval or an alievLiioh of these evils, aud
upon a fjafiltnent of the promises made
to the nation, depend the safety oA Ire
land—its future a'tachmrnt to ihelßßiwn
' f Great Britain, and the ußfm.ite security
of the Empire.
That your Petitioners, in conclusion, heg
to state to this Honourable House, that hav
ing from 1782 to 1800, experienced the
beneficial effects resulting from a resident
and independent Parliament, and having
now for ten years felt the operative i •flu
ence of British legislation, are impelled,
from the recollection of the pis', and sud
experience of the present, to express their
conviction to this Honourable House, that
the very serious distresses of the idfrh peo
ple and the dangers to which the chuntry
is consequently exposed, are principally to
be attributed to the want of a resident Le
gislature, as your Petitioners, in expressing
this conviction are confident, tKat if admit,
ted to the bar of the House of Commons,
they shall be able to prove, to its full satis
faction, that such Is the real source of the
national distress, and that to the Repeal of
the Legislative Union can the people of
this country look as the only t-fficii nt means
of obtaining its present relief, of procuring
its future prosperity, and securing its per
manent connexion with Great-Britain.
[We have little doubt that the real causes
which have produced the iweinents in
Ireland, in favour of • repeal of the
Union, are correctly sketched in the fol
lowing extract of a letter from a gentle
man in Dublin:—]
** The origin of the present anti-uoion
spirit is no more than this: The sanie
causes which recently produced so much
commercial embarrassment in England,
especially in London, could not fail to have
effects of the same description on this side .
of the water. The distresses experienced
by the merchants and manufacturers press
ed very heavily for a time on many poor
families, who were dependent on them fur
their support. This unhappy state of things
soon attracted a large share of publick at
tention, and it became a theme for popular
declamation and discontent. The political »
jobber, the future Candidate for a seat in
Parliament, the embarrassed tradesman,
the self erected patriot, the headstrong de
magogue, in short, every anti-unionist upon
principle or speculation, seems to have
thought the present opportunity too valua
ble to be lost, and therefore, clamorously
joined in theP reprobation of a measure,
which, most assuredly, is quite unconnect
ed with the causes of the commercial em
barrassment and distress which have been
of late to sensibly felt in this country." Yet,
