up; toe clumsy and inertificial language winch

their provisions ; but they are aow still more cou-

From my owe knowledge of the Catholic Body,
I feel a csavietitio. that their sense, as well as in-

and se do the Catholic Bishop,, it does not emir,
and there is therefore no reread}' to make Any pro-

their wishes. satisfy their jealousics, and allay their

we all recollect in 1740 that the Bishops offered to
concede eves the Veen.
Dr. Mon, before the discussion in 11404. made
what wee undeestood to be a mintier concession, to
Nowa. Grafton sad Ponsonby. The learned Me-
ttle was thee spot to the Bishops, and afterwards
received their thanks. For my pert. 1 have inne.
rearable objections to a Vers. It would retinae
the kith Church at the font of the Irish Minister—
it would effect that which the permeation of centu.
ries could est attain—and it would increase the par-
gaffer the Bishop* hod ler visiting the Cowie.—
Daseatie nominalists by a restoration of the Chap-

std of as oLjection, it would restore the Church to
its tree and ancient discipline. and the inferior
Clow would recover that power which bad been
usurped from them. end that portion of weight to

Nomination. Did not the countirs of Kil.lare.

had Mr. Grattan to imagine that such was not the
, sense of the Irish nation?

Now, as to the present Committee, what was
their conduct on the appeatitster of the unnecae.gry
letter of Lord Granville? They referred this eery
snbject to • Sub-Committee. of which Mr. Clinch

Mr. Hamm proceeded—Ls not this expressly
approving of domestic nomination—(the crime of
Mr. Gramm, and the litany pretext fur Catholic
ingratitude)—Mr. Randall *Donnell agreed to
move, at the Getters' Committee, for their adop-
tion, these two resolutions. me the Report of the
SuloCommittee. The very morning, however,
that the Committee was to meet. a few of the Sub-
Committee met, and agreed to defer, for that time,
makiag the Report. as Mr. *Donnell enured them
that the Bishop% were to meet in a few days, end
that it would be but respectful to wait their deter-
initiation. This l did nut approve of, knowing
they would not give up the power they now exer-
cise of appointing their successors. Some of the
Sub-Committee. who were not at the private Meet-
ing, disapproved of it. Having perused a shoiyof the
iutended Report. I moved it, and was supported
in it by a great proportion of the wealth and re-
spectability of the Committee; and were it not for
the private compact. it would have been union.
mously adopted. These Resolutions, if 1 ism
rightly informed, were also approved of by Mr.
Keogh, and the principal Catholic.. Mr. Grattan.
I ant told, received a number of private letters
with respect to the sentiments of the Committee.
1 had curry reason to imagine there would shortly
be a vote of the Commit le approving ofimminefion.
—I. it for this, then, that we are to withdraw our
confidence from Mr. Grattan ? From that able
and enlightened patriot, our old and faithful ad-
vocate—he whose whole political life is interwoven
with all that is great and glorious in his time in the
history of his country—who first delisted and
trampled on the old system of Swish domination—
adored and beloved by Ireland. dreaded by a prosti-
tate Porliameot, and venal Cabinet—he who
wrung from the terrors of the British Minister all
those concessions by which lielsnd obtained the
sols.l proso-nty (not the /Ina and iusidting proepe-
eity w;ilt which err Talk Matters hare rhlienled
as) she enjoyed previous to that accursed weatare
the Mina!!!
Mr. Grattan's devotion to the Catholic Canoe is
too fresh is our recollection to require a particular
recital.-1 /tope ins services live in th*e hearts of the
moat callous of the opponents to this motion.
On the question in Mt and 17;ki. he differed
with the Corporation of Dublin rod many of his
Constituents; his fair fame and illustrioua charac-
ter were libelled—he was pointed oqt Monis/emu:ors
Journal as a jit object for assatsinatinn. and there
were not wonting those erilliug to take the hint—
hr ws, disfisinehmed—he was hunted by every
(trance totoorthoterid, who thought mock loyalty
cater for every crime—he was even ready at the
ensuing election to risk his iser-:•nal safety, against
that rile hog, that erincing Cerberris, Mat's hired
to bark at us—who is beginning to open hie
ugly jaws once more. le it for this, then. that
hr is to lose Cathel.c confidence? or is it be-
cause, that when Ireland was about to be told
to Etiglatirl. forgetting NA ingratitude, remem-
bering only his estuary. he once wore entered,
lint in a weak and sickly state, that Houle he
had so often contusioned with his eloquence—
[Here Mr. Hussey will interrupted by universal
cheers end acelamations)--hut feeble health d.d not
protect this friend to Ireland from the venal insults
of those who were determitted to sell that independ-
ence he wee so long labouring to attain—he t' tight
for Ireland agaiust her calumniators, and was
ready in the glorious cause to lay
.down his life.
Oar prayers were heard—he way saved—not, I
hope, to encounter Catholic ingretitude. but that
he may once more present the humble Petition of
five millions of his Catholic countrymen, and live
to me Catholic Emancipation the result of his
im-
mortal labours.
Will you then rob the real patriot, in the moment
of victory, of that triumph which toleration is now
so likely to obtain over bigotry. and it. popery;
sad prefer Imitating the Corporation is their ra-
tite& ; or the brace exploit of the University, in
taking down his picture, because his heart was im•
moveably attached to your cause?
1 shall now state one circumstance, which will
surprise the opponents to my motion ; that is. that
after Mr. Grattan had written to the Committee.
and stated the grounds that he meant to rely on 4
Parliament. and after he had actually 'nide the
statement complained of in promoting the Petition.
be was answered by the Committee here, not by
a complaiwt. ant by a romoestraoce, but by the fol-
lowing vote of Thanks:—
" Resolved. That the mot mucked sad raids% tliattlat of

Let me ask. have we not a sufficient amber of

Castle, end their hireling press. their satellites, flee
awls Purist and the Journal, are arrayed against
as. Even the Dog, so long chained and onsuled,
has been let loose. and ordered to renew his hideous
howling.. A hostile Govermentoseting spout and per-
petuating that conduct Mr.Grattan charged them
with in leos.—.The Catholics (said he) would
prefer their situation before the repeal of 1798, to
whet followed, inasmuch as they experienced in the
Irish Government a more deadly sod active ninny
than they before exiierienced in the Laws.''—eAnii
again he saws, "the Government took care theCatno-
lice should derive no benefit from the Act of 1790 ;
scarcely ever giving an office, in onnseqttence of the
Act of Parliament"—lithe very thing they now do,
and that which the Her has recommended; "and al-
ways at is rki og their characters Omni a Court Press."
