maintain have proved them to lie pious Pastors,
zealous Catholice'smil loyal subjects; and which of
themselves arifficietitly demonstrate the (idiocy of
those arguiereuto which seek to prove there is a ne-
cessity to resort any such measure of taut 1111 l et
the present moment. These Re.olutiona acknow-
ledge the incompetency of the Irian Church to ac-
Cede to any measure of domestic appointment: and
they declare the inexpediency of making any .Ite-
ration in their present ecclesiastical systein:—(ll ere
Mr. MiDomiell read several of those Resolutions,
both of 1808 and IMO, and animadverted on each.)
—We now come to consider this proposed measure
with reference to its proitalile political consequences.
It must immediately strike the mind, that it is im-•
possible for His NI iirstry.or the Lord Lieutenaut, to
ascertain the uterus er dgiserits of the Priests who
may be proposed, and-of course the matter must be
referred to the Country Gentlemen, ruck of whom
will have hie own friend or favourite to advance. if
he eau. Anti here I ask, must not the least tospiLacus
amongst von anticipate a thousand little iotrigues
and factions between the crafty Priest and mere
crafty Statesman ? 1, for my own part, shudder at the
nuinberless evil consequences which I forretr to he
inevitably resulting from such a system. We shall
have continual broils, as well between the Coinitry
Geutleinan and the Bishop, as between the Gen-
tlemen themselves, at every vacancy of • Bishopric.
Each Gentleman will wish to have the patronage of
the parish iu winch lie lives ; this will be opposed by
the other Gentlemen, and the Bishop may oppose
them all: they will not forget to remind hislteverence
of the interest they made for him ia the Castle at
his election ; and thus every vacancy of a parish will
originate fresh feuds and riots, and we shall have
nothing but intrigue and deceit, in the room of
religion amid honourable impartiality. I assure
you, Gentlemen. I do not ground apprehensious
on mere anxious conjecture, or theoretical sur-
mise. You have heard some very good stories
front different Geutlenteu this day. cud I woe
think it almost tre that I should tell you one :
—Some five or six years ago, • parish, not many
miles distant front this town became vacant, cud
was filled again by as good and as loyal • in 40 as
ever lived, who was duly and canonically appoint-
ed by the Archbishop: but a certain family, think-
ing no doubt that they bad as good • right to ap-
point the Pariah Priest as the lsaiish Constable, set
on foot a moat violent prosecution ag iinst all nn-
offending priest.—[Here Mr. RFD. was interrupted

that the gentleman should feel so very much alive
to order at this particular Umbilici.. and must leave
it to the meeting to guess at the reason. I must
sots resume my story : Gentlemen, that persecution

cause the Priest was not a man according to their

parishioners not to entertain him in their houses—
and this system brought on • tit of the jaiindice, mid

feel all my appreitencons justified even by this oue
one fact.—Another consequeoce which would fol-
low the concession of such • power to the Cruwu
would be the great accessiou ofinftuence which it
would bring to the Crown itsedf. We are all equal-

more about patience for a few years—Heaven knows

has in some degree sanctioned the tyranny of our
masters. I am as great an advocate for temperance
as any man can be, but l never will recommend
patience to a slave—it is adding insult to oppres-
sion. Here, then, it the simple case : the Council
Of Trent has invested in the Pope the right of no.,
taineting Bishops to govern the Church—and the
Catholics err called upon to repeal or alter the de-
cree of that Council. Their Pope has said they
cannot—their Bishops'tell them they cannot—coin-

tells them they ought not. But all these authori-

Friend (Sir S. 0' al do admit that it may,
afire some centuries. be cmsidered an historical
rtocanient of some valet 1 but 1 most lament that I
am compelled to object to it. for two reasons. The
first ohjrction is. that it states asa fact, that which
I do not believe to be on—that noise of the penal
laws were enacted in the present reign. I have tint
any disposition, nor perihelia ehility, to state those
restrictive laws enacted in the present reign; but I
cast refer Gentlemen to a work, which proves with
equal force the soundness of the head awl of the
heart of the author ; I allude to Me. Partial's Ws-
tory tf Me Penal Code ; there you may learn, that
some very severe inquisitorial lows were enacted •in
the range of His present Majesty ; and also that it
was in the present reign that Catholics were, for the
first (tine, excluded by statute front Legislative As-
semblies. My second objection to the Petition is,
that it calls on Parliament to connect fresh securitii a
for the Church and State with Catholic Emancipa-
tion. Geed God ! Gentlemen. if your Church is
not secure, secure it without referring to Catholii
I Emancipation. If your Church is endangered, meet
the danger manfully; enact more 'renal laws, but
do not hold seer that word security, as • sort of
stop-cock. to shot the mouths of the Catholics
whenever they 'vinare to complain. Do not re-
sort to Ina measures ; they are always content prible.
and seldom successful. These getters', indefinite
espressioos in the petition, not only do net exclude
a Veto, hot invite gometlimg like at. To he ore
the wottliy Baronet tells us lie a!iiiminates the Veto.
• sad the alight Hon. Gent. tells the Sinte—hut uri-
ther of them will tell us what they want in place
of it. Why not (to use a modern Parlissnentary
phrase) give WI something in • tangible shape,
that we may know what is required, before we are
i cited to refute It. Indeed the Right Hon. Gen=t.
tells you, that he only desires to prevent French de-
legate. coming into the country. Surely he cminot
require any new laws for that purpose. But Gen-
theme tell you toot this is not the proper place nor
the proper time to discuss this subject. To that I
would suswer—if you are icia very cautious about
dictating ID your Parliament, why not leave it to
that Parliament to consider whether any each at.

conviction, that this accursed Fero, in every mode.

wary, a stalk.nig-horse for hypocrites, soil a subter-

trespassed so long tin your indulgence, it is time
should come to a conclusion. I have not thought it
necessary to resort to any argument to prove the
advantages that must result from entliolic Eman-
cipation ; there is no man who does not, in the
language of the Address, feel that the enjoyment
of liberty is the surest pledge of loyally. You
have heard Gentlemen, this day, very good and
hosiditul in their advice to their Catholic brethren
before I sit down, I would beg leave in re-
turn to address myself to my Protestant brethren
for one moment—and with every deference, and
respect, and regard.' to submit to their better con-
sideration soy very tumble but very sincere ad-
vice. Remember, mylriends, that those whirls
pally concerned in your decisions this day are your
neighbours mud relatives—have you not known
us in our private transactions to be v 11115117 hour at

to be loyal to our Souvereie--wand can you
think m hardly of us as to believe that we are so
fondly attached to that most unch • *an and alio-
minoble offence of petjury,,,tliat it is ouly when we
swear that we should be distrusted. As to this so
much talked of, and so little understood {'ern. I ask
you to put your hands to your hearts, and honestly
and sincerely to say, would you advise Ili, the Car
tholies of Ireland, in opposition to our Pope, our
Bieltops, the opiniou of Mr. Burke, and the die-
. tides of sound policy, to allow such men as Mr.
Perceval, or Dr. Dolgellau, to interfere in
our Ecclesiastical discipline or religious este..
Idislintent ; when you outi• we well know, and
they themselves avow, there is not any wish
" to their hearts than that of destroying
• that very establishment. Recollect, my friends,
that your and our forefathers Iniuntained together
that establishinent--and would you ask is. slow ID
' assist in the extinction of that solitary remnant of
Irish Independence? Recollect that it was the per-
sweatiest of the Dissidents in Poland that led to
the subjii4mi .... of that country. Persevere then
in the holy work you have node' takem—do not de-
sire to karit our character from malignant or in-

and revered Psotestant, I refer you to the chari-
table doctrine of one of your own Prelates, the
Bishop of Norwich—do not we admire his libela-
lity—do we doubt his loyalty? Do then, my
friends, cherish and cultivate the yonthful plant
of Liberality which you have raised with your nun
hands; while we live together you shall continue'
to receive the blessings you shall have merited--
and when you and we cease to exist, then shall our
free-bore sons, while they pluck the life.giving
crop from the branches, by their grateful trans
enrich the verdure of the foliage---then shall there
be one common name among us—IRISHM AN
and one Catholic Notional Faith, the love of out
King and C try. We ritual hear no mare of
Entisikillen Juries, and Enniskillen Acquittals.
Freedom will through the land ; and them
indeed, will you have raised, for the hour of danger,
rt a tower of strength against the force of the
enemy !"
