Could any man who had taken the trouble to read the edicts, and
examine the sets of the Association, doubt for a moment that they
assumed to represent the Catholic population of Ireland, and
that they did represent then? The member for Winchel-
sea had said the Association did not represent the Catholic*
formally, but virtually ; but no such distinction is acknowledged
by the Association ; they would be themselves the first to
reject and repudiate the idea. Their boast line pride con•
silt in their claim to constitute the legitimate representation of
the Catholic Defy. Were it possible to ascertain the precise senti•
ments of Mr. O'Connell on the subject. and were he questioned as
to the fact, be would proliably repleehat lie cared not for shadows
but the substance. and would claim the credit of being as legitimate
a representative cif his countrymen as any member who sat in that
liouse. Ile Ole North) would direct the attention of the !louse to
the peasantry who contributed their pittance to the Rent, to the '
Peers and Bishops who attended the meetings of the Association.
These might be referred to as the certificates of their election, as '
proofs of their representative faculties. Can such a state of things
be permitted to exist? He must maintain it to be highly dangerous
under the existing circumstances of the country. Yet woeld he readily
accede to the wishes of Gentlemen opposite if they were able to
show, that notwithstanding the extensive influence it pesteessed, and
the greet degree to which it obtained the confidence of the people,
the Association was not productive of real mischief in a very grist
extent. IVere such the state of things, looking at Ireland as he
did, he would feel disposed not to complain. But he denied that
i it was so, and would ask any Honourable Gentleman to lay
his hand upon his heart and tell that House no danger was

only sate policy was, wider such circumstance'', to destroy an ec.

tlemen on the other Fiat had denominated the Rent a trifle., and in_

as efficient, was a (tilling sane and, for anything to be dime!
by it, he looked upon 100.0001. with equal indifference. But',
it was r' the principle lie must object. The Irish people'
were tee much in the habit of connecting the persons entrust-1
ed with the collection of taxes with the sources of power itself.
' They would look upon the collectors of this tax as an authority
and he thus led to acknowledge a power paramount to. and 1
distinct from, the Government of the country. Nor. he would '
assert, was this all : every man who paid a portion of Rent con-
nected the payment with ulterior objects, and considered himself
pledged to the 'purposes held in view by the Assecietion. His
destroy is combined with that Society—lie becomes united to its
purposes, fin better for worse, for richer fur poorer. The bond of

minister illegal oaths for the purpose of introducing a system of
espionage, what did this Association prove? 'Why they proved

who brought this question befure die House, hail fisted, as one
of his greatest objections to the Association, that it interfered with

Honourable Gentleman's position stood good, from a consideration
of every feet which lead yet come to the knowledge of the House.
It Bads he believed, been mounted, that there is a tnal.administre.
nun of justice in Ireland. This. in the teeth of all who assert it,
he denied. During the whole of the last 13 years, front the acquit-
tal of D. Sheridan. down to the more recent failure of the pro-
ceeding* against Mr. O'Connell, he had been a witness to its
purity ; and, in adding his feeble testimony, he begged to Say, it
WWI at least entitled to respect from its perfect sincerity. He would
beg to call the attention of the House tb what had been said by the
advocates of the Catholic body themselves, to what had been in-
culreted by elr. Cobbete Draw up, *aid he, a list of your griev-
ances—state the cases of oppression you complain of—bring them
before the notice of the people of' England, and they will attend
to them—they will 'redress them. What had been the consequence
of this advice ? No list had appeared—they had no existence but
in the heads of a few turbulent and' discontented partisans. Had
the Honourable Gentlemen, the Member for Limerick. who at-
temp:ed by many, and he would certainly say, very happily
chosen quotations, to justify the objects and defend the views of
the Catholic body—had he stated any acts of oppression ? lie.
Even the Honourable and Learned Gentleman who preceeded hint
(Mr. Nord)) in due debate, failing in the support of the argument,
upon every other ground, had been compelled to have recourse to
the natural infirmities of man to prove his position. But suppose
that tranquillity can alone be restored, by taking power from the
bands which now hold it, he would ask, would we not purchase
that tranquillity at too high a pricy? %l °AI we not in our at-
tempt thus to heal the distractions of Ireland piece it under a
divided authority ?—put a seoptre into the power of Mr. O'Gert-
aell—a broken reed in the hands of Lord eVellesley. lie would
rather see it in the words of our good old laws, under the favour of
our steel, and the protection of our Lord the lihig, than reposing
in the peace of Catholic security. Let it be toutquillisctl by the
laws—let its harmony by secured by nbediencb to legislation, not

the malevolent passions of men—supporting itself by denouncing'

Spencer--a bed for a rebel—a house for an outlaw, arid meet cloak
for a thief; an Association proclaiming to the ignotant thousandsl
who look up to them, their hatred of the Pronctante, and call*
upon them to cherish it as they value their existence. Ile did mat
mean to say that these were the sentimentt of all the (*.idiotic

gestions—many who entertained the kindest and most generous

they would appear to the same disadvantage as the Catholic Asso-

the peculiar situation in which the Association aes placed. He
thought that wl.et he ass about to relate to them world sufficiently

one act oi'lly. The Association merely sought to have the same
Measure of justice as their fellow-subjects, and to have those
grievances redressed under which they had laboured. He (Dr.
Lushington) merely asked for them that portion of can-
dour which he thought their situation cotilled them to.—
(Hear). Under similar •aumstances, similar Associations would
naturally arise. Other Societies hall their Committees and made
their reports in the same manner as this, yet riots different was the
treatment to them ? When one class of subjects obtained a
superiority over another, those possessed exclusive privileges would
naturally endeavour to keep them, whilst the other party, quite as
naturally, would (Tease their claims as well as they were able ;
the spirit of equality would exist and would break forth. Honourable
Gentlemen must remember the implications of the administration
of justice in Ireland, the various complaints made fur-redreas
could not be forgotten ; from 1903 to 1811 it Was lamentable to
contend that the administration of justice was there inane
unspotted t it was notoriously the controry. With respect to Id a
proclamations which had been so ma talked about, tbare *MI
but one sentence which theGendemea atb* side dale Hodge
had complained of, viz., " by*, beds on bear to Orange-
men." Ile must say that he did teat it could at all be ap-
plied as Meaning the hatred whit! Wee to Protestants them-
selves. .1t was impossible but ibat Catholic who hail beara

who supported this Bill whether they thought that penal enactment
would quench the eloquence of Mr. O'Connell, or suppress the
sentiments of the people, and the elfuru of the Roman Catholic
l'riests.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said he should
Inot now trouble the Ileum, after the protracted discussion which
had taken placo, and he did not rise with any hopes of being able
to add" any thing to the arguments which had been brought for-
ward, yet he felt anxious to express his sentiments on the question,
not only on account of its importance but from other reasons which
Its would state. lie had observed with satisfaction that no attempt
bad been matte by those Gentlemen who supported the other side
of die question, directly to defend the existence or acts of the
Catholic Association. It had hail been said that its exhume, was
natural, and arose from the situation in which Helena was placed;
but co attempt bath been directly made to defend them ; on the con-
trary, every Member who had addressed the House, from the tin*
to the last, had studiously endeavoured to draw a line between
themselves and the Catholic Association. The manner of the wank
only was blamed, on the gronnd that this was not the proper I
remedy. Ile did not feel conscious that he was, by any conduct efl
his, instrumental in bringing on chemistries with which Ireland was
afflicted. lie was anxious to advert to that part of the question
which concerned his own cor.duat. Gentlemen should recoiled
how the Governmer.t was formed. During the administration of
the late Mr. Percival, the Government was opposed to the question
as a Government ; some opposed it upon principle, others upon the
ground of inexpediency at the period. Upon the death of Mr.
Percival, the restraining 'Members of the Government were placed
in a very singular simatiou. This House not feeling itself, at the
present time, inclined to support a Government systematically
opposing that question, presented an address to the Prince
Regent, praying hint to form an ildnanistretion which should
be wore deserving the confidence of the Government and of
the people. Negociations were entered into to accomplish this
end, but, on account of some blunders committed by those'
to whom it was entrusted, it failed. Afterwards a (ioverse
ment was formed, which was nut to take a part $s a Govern. I
ment. In business of this kind they were obliged to take the
elements as they found them. They could not expect a Utopian
form of Government ; they must look at thereat nature of thirt
lie would not pretend to demonstrate that it was nut an evil, on the
contrary, he thought it was an evil. his winald now look to what
they were told they were to do. Why, they were told that it is
very true, that when you first Caine into office, you opposed it ; but
now you are to advocate a new se stem. and snake it a government
measure. Ilia was what was called {reasonable. Sane Honour.
table Gentlemen had armee out, lie would not say ingenious, but ,
unworthy sarcasms, upon persons in the Government, against
whom it was insinuated, to suit their own argument, that they would. ,
fur the paltry consideretion of place. forsake their principles.
With regard to his Honourable Frieuil who ate near hint,
(11r. Peel) there was not the slightest attempt made to impeach his
honour. lie thought he might say, without vanity, dint the coun-
try was satisfied with the conduct of the Gomenment. lie would
now suppose that the advice which had been given had been fol-
lowed ; the consequence would be in all likelihood the breakiog up
of the Administration. and if even that wan not to take place, the
House must recollect, that if they were thus to alter their measure,
It would be an act of great treachery towards their associates.
The /honourable Member fur linaresbureugh (Mr. Tierney) had
! said. they had refused the assistance of his side of the House; but
he (the Chancellor oldie Exchequer) did not think they could make
up their minds to give them their assistance ; for he did not think
such inconsistent conduct would justify the confidence of an honest
Parliament. Ile drew the conclusion, that if they could not pass
that measure, they must apply the remedy. ab'stli regard to the
passing or the measure as an act of the Government, he doubted
excceongly whether it, at the present moment. could be &sole.
pliished. .1
he difficulty of passing the unamsre had been re-
presented as insuperable; but he did not go so tar as that;
he certainly did believe, that there existed at the present moment
a strong feeling 'of opposition to this question in England. (Cries
of `• Hear, hoar," and " No, no.") them part of this feeling
arose front acts of the Catholic .dissociation. There was a large
body of persons with strong feelings of opposition to the measure
in the House of Lords. There was another numerous body of
the community—he meant the Clergy, who were opposed to it ; and
it was unfair to reproach them with being influenced by unworthy
motives i but whether it was from mere love of the Church, or
front a higher or inure proper feeling. it was natural fur them to
look with jealousy to the adtnission of such a body of citizens to
the enjnyment of rights, by the possession of which they might
soon he able to obtain their professed object, the overthrow of the
Protestant religion. Every body knew the influence the Clergy had.
If we lookel at all history, we should see that changes, which, pro-
spectively viewed, appeared impossible, had mimosa miraculously
taken piece in human affairs. 111 e saw, therefore, no reason to de.
spair of success with regard to this quesiiint. He knew by his own
' situatinn that it hail advanced. He had enteliell the proves* of
opinion in that Iltsu.e, and he ought to be the last to argue that
no cltange was png,ll.l!C, when he himself was an instance of the
advance of which he was Sperteill4. All his culy impressions. his
hereditary prejudices, if lie might SO call- them, were against
the Catholics,. lie had been taught te -outsider that an in-
separable connection existed between papal power and arbi-
trary power; and he was in Ins yotith av decidedly opposed to
concession as any or his ii,,,w,,,,ibte Friends at this day. But he
had now taken what he believed to be a more correct view of the
question. (Cheers.) lie would never be ashamed to chance his
opunees, when he nes cons bead thet he ought to chance them.

cello, of the Exchequer) considered that the morn miserable ileferce
be had ever heard, and the Honourable and Learned Gentle-
man himself bad stated it at the time. as if he felt its insufßciency.
(A laugh.) lie was generally pretty stout in his assertions, but
lie dint manifested notch less confidence than usual, and
admitted by his manner what it. denied by his words. He
did not approve of the Constitutional Association, end did not
subscribe to nor support it, for he disapproved of any asioniation
interfering with the adtr.inistration of the laws. It was on Ibis
polled printipal that he was opposed to the Cathulic Amen
;nationals°. ( Hear, hear, hear.) What would the House think elf
this Association, which published a document to the world,
in which they proclaimed to the world, that murder had ben
perpetrated under the sanction of law—they did not even stogy
at the assertion, that homicide had been committed ? Such a publi-
cation was utterly at variance with spirit of the Constitution. And
when he saw the manifestation of such sentiments by this Associ.
anion—when he saw their acts, he was not iisposed to place in.
elicit reliance its Mc honied words with whi h, •n other occasions,
they recommended peace to the people. (11:ar, hear.) There
was also that remarkable expression—" By tee bate you bear to
Orangemen." This was the throwing venom into the cep of dis-
cord, which already embittered society in that country. Ile was at
is loss to put upon this expression the construction which it had
beat attempted to assign to it by Honoursble nlembers on the op-
posite side of the Dowse. It was endeavoured, he thought, most
unsatisfactorily, to explain it as meaning merely that the Catholics
should not be partial to their oppressors. (clear, hear, hear.)
From the violence of certain members of the Roman Catholic body,
he entertained little apprehension—it excited no alarm in him. it
was, therefore, that lie paid little regard to the violence of )Ir.
O'Connell, and Dr. Dreengoole„ a few years ago ; but when he
that violence was generally approved of, when he was told that
persons who were most prominent in the display of that violetee,
were persons of great influence over the whole Catholic population
of IrcLand, he then, indeec, thought that the existence of the As.
suciution was pregnant and fraught with infinite danger. As to I
the Catholic question, he -would. as he had done before, whenever
it was brought forward, give it his most our ial support. It was
a great grievance—he would therefore move for the removal of
that grievance. He thought also that this Association was a
great mischief, and he world therefore move for its removal. It
was not fair to say, because we cannot resneve one grievance. that
therefore we should not endenvout Of remove the other. (Hear,
hear.) Indeed he did not know any thing that was more calculated
to protract and delcy the measure of• emancipation than thin very
Association;.-.it had interfered, among other subjects, wish the
administration of justice, which it censured. This was a
charge which could not, in his opinion. be fairly made.
An improvement had taken nine in the e'cction of Sheriffs.-.the
acts of the Alagistracy had been revised, and the revisal had led to
some benenicial alterations—all this and more had been doue'with-
out the interference of the Associetion. And he would not refill-
, quish the hope, that the great grievance of which the Bynum Ca.

Mr. IlUnlE rose amid loud cries of Question, question ;" he
merely rose to say, that lions what had been elicited in the course of
the discussion, and from what remained to reply to and remark

mem, administered on liberal principles, rising up in the
neighbourhood of the Allied Sovereigns, is, no doubt.
matter•to them of uneasy contemplation. That their vas: •
sal tuljects should hate, ki it were, in the midst of them,
the example of an oppressed people recovering their ancient
recdoto, and breaking the few, of a dreadful slavery bo'
their own unassisted strength, is an electrifying sight. twit
carries with it a danger that is not confined to the doini-
nions of the Ottoman Porte. A revolution in the Turkish

The adjourned debate respecting the Catholic Associa-
tion was resumed last night, and continue(' till nearly one
o'clock, when, on the conclusion of the Cit.txecu.on
the lien Ft;I: CE'S speech, it was adjourned, fer the third
tima, till this eveihrg, and it vas agreed that it should take
the precedence of all other busimss. The speakers List

the clearness and force of his sentiments. The debate will
certainly be concluded this evening.
