on the Woolsack had alluded, were not con.
netted, in any constitutional view, with the frame
of the Government. No man .could say that
the Catholic of the present day was attached
to env other Family than that upon the Throne,
in a miturier which could justify apprehension upon
the part of Government. He disbelies%d those at-
tacks, which, he was sorry to say, proceeded some-
times from the pulpit itself against Catholics : he
could not believe that three-fourths of the people
of Europe were so degraded in character, that no
obligation could be considered binding with them,
nu morality authoritative, and no treaty secure.
On the contrary, when he looked to the hiatdry of
Europe, and of this country, he was convinced
that they were the originals of many great insti-
tutions, and the inculcators of many splendid vir-
tues. He noticed the speech of Sir John Hippes-
ley, in a strain of warm panegyric, commending
it as remarkable for soundness of argument sod
•clerneas of order. If it was demanded what
they ,mould give in lieu of the present securities, be
would promise to give in lieu the affection of four
millions of subjects, and the strength inseparable
from such an acquisition. 11 the Catholics were
ianwillmg to give one, he would be willing to accept
another security. He contended, that there was an
implied pledge given to then, at the time of the
union, and even contained in the fourth article. It
vas objected, that the Catholics wanted power ; but
'wan in a constitutional sense, such • demand was
ju,tiiable, for power was necessary to the security
of fr„,;!,..1. Ile pronounced a warm panegyric on
the memory of Mr. Windham, and concluded With
espressing a hope, that the English Catholics, as
well a, the Irish, would, at a future day, obtain
the censututional advantages from which they were
`at pre,i.tot escluded.
The Earl of LIVE itroot, said, that when no spe-
cific security was offered by the Catholics, they
(will not presume that their Lordships could grant
their complete emancipation, and at the same time
endanger the State. 'The Noble Earl entered into
a review of the different kingdoms in Europe, and
contended, that um one of them had ever considered
of giving an equal toleration to those religious per.
sou-inn, who were not connected with the State, ex-
cept Poland. And what was the consequence ?
The moment they granted toleration, those that
appeared to be Protestants before, became Ca-
tholics, He would never consent to endanger this
country in the same way ; under which considera-
tion hr would vote against the motion.
Lord RID6IDALS spoke againat the measure,
as, in his opinion, it would endanger the State.
Lord Duiountruome, in a most eloquent and
animated .perch, replied.
