The following Speech was delivered by Mr.
Martin Doyle, at a Meeting of the Committee for
conducting the Rouses. Catholic Poor School of
New [tors.* sod many other respectable inhabitants.
on Sunday the 6th lust. no giving up the Animal
Donations of Messrs. Culclough and Carew in aid
of said School :
GENTLWIIENIt is with heartfelt satisfaction
that I announce to you this day, that I hold in my
band the Annual Donations of Messrs. Colclosigh
and Carew iii support of this laudable and praise-
worthy Institution—this Institution, where there
are not less than Two HUNDRED Boys initiated in
the priiic:ples of religion, morality, and education.
And who, let me ask you, are these Gentlemen
who str p forward to aid us in this glorious cause
Why, I will tell you—theyare the honest, unhoughi,
and unpensioned Representatives of this indepen-
dent county, who have supported, and, I trust,
ever w►ll support, the cause of civil and religious
liberty. Men who, I am positively sure, will do
every thing that may come within the reach of their
power, to expel from this our native land the horrid
and discontent sounds of religious intolerance and
prostlytism—ineo. I stay, who have no interest in
aliu'ing and calumniating us, but who only wish to
see the day that their Catholic felluw-countrymen
may enjoy the right of worshipping their Creator
after the manner of their fathers, and according to
the dictates of their own consciences, without suf-
fering under disgusting, *even., and, I will say,
alit minable penal statutes for t•o doing.
" Gentlemen, are not sock men worthy of our
most strenuous support ? And conscious lam that
every man of you who can exercise his own free
will, without severely injuring himself or his fa-
mily, will support them in the event of another
contested election. It is hard to kick against our
consciences; and who, let me ask you, can, with-
out so doir.g, join the ranks of our political ene-
mies? At least, may I presume to ask, who
amongst you, having any pretensions to profess the
spirit of gratitude, which is really inherent in the
mind of every honest Irishman, est) for one mo-
ment lay claim to this virtuous, honourable, and
illustrious principle, sod hesitate how to act on
such au occasion ? No, lie will not, he cannot he-
sitate an instant—for lie is driven on by the two-
fold principle of gratitude on the one hand, and
holy enthusiasm on the other, to support the steady
and determined friends of his cuuntry. And, Gen.
tlemeii. what may not such men accomplish ?
Why, I sincerely hope it may happen that they
may serve the peseta generation ; but if not, a per-
severetice in such a line of conduct will most assur-
edly serve our living and unborn offspring. The
bigot, a hose object is power and profit, cannot, and
trust will not always be able to resist the well.
directed atnicksof the virtuous and uncompromising
patriot. But, if there be a man in this assembly
who could for sordid or base lucre sacrifice ►he in-
teresis of his ever-dear and beloved country, I only
wish him a speedy conversion.
•' Some of you, I believe, can remember, or at
least your fathers could, when such an institution
as this would not be allowed in the land of your
nati►ity—but for ever revered be the names of a
Grattan and a Curran, who fought our battles in
the worst of nines, and of a Newport, who has re.
cently supported our cause, and the whole veered
band of Patriots of these and other days, who fought
the battles of the oppressed. uud, thanks to Heaven !

not forget our own worthy Representatives, who have
supported (Al r cause, and opened their purses in suu.
port of title infant establishment. And you, my dear
children, the objects of all our solicitude, 1 hope you
will ever remember these your benefactors, with
hearts full of love to the great Creator of the wti-
ver►e, who stimulates the human mind to acts of be-
nrwolence and real charity towards their fellow.
creatures. And such, Gentlemen, are the actions
of men, who despising a sectarian narrowne►s of
mind, seek out real objects of commiseration, and
then 'titter them without regard to creed or colour.
And such, 1 hope, is the spirit that actuates every
man in Ireland who has his country's good at heart.
And such are the men that we, a* Catholics mid
Irishmen, are bound to support, and in despite of
the cringing servility of some of the community,
who would Irail you into the mazes of error uy
false reasoning and ridiculous sophistry, merely to
serve their o►wn private purposes.
" I have now, Gentlemen, to return you my
most sincere thanks for the patient hearing you
have given me, and must conclude by wishing
prosperity to this Institution, and a length of happy
days to all its supporters."
