migla . the course of consideration before a committee
ha- Jean made the foundation of a just and eouitable
arrangement of the relations of landlords and tenants.
(Hear, hear.) I hope that those bills will yet be made
the basis of improvements of that nature. Upon several
ether points I might have been inclined to touch now, if
the. questions which Mr. Deane put to me had 'not
o placed them in a light I dare say sufficiently clear. I
shall not, therefore, touch upon them at all. With re-
spect to the question he asked me on the subject of May-
, nooth, I stated on a former occasion, at considerable
length and with considerable clearness, the reason which
led to my conclusions on that subject, The consequence
of that statement was, that at the last election I lost a
great deal of independent support, which otherwise
should have undoubtedly received ; but I believe firmly
that the general grounds of policy upon which my opi-
nion was founded are those which are beneficial for all
classes of religionists in Ireland. I firmly believe that a
little forbearance on the one side and on the other, a little
less of the admixture of religious questions in political
disputes, would be one of the greatest elements of con-
cord amongst us. (Hear.) I believ ethat if we could
leave to religion its own beneficent, charitable, and peace-
able character, and not mix it with acrimonious feelings—
if we could believe that others are sincere in their belief
and that that belief acts beneficially in practice, we
should be doing good service to religion, and no harm at
all to political questions. (Hear, hear.) I am quite
sure of this, that it is not the doctrines of any religion,
it is not its morality, it is not the matters inculcated by
it which tend to embroil society so much as the ad-
mixture of it with secular and often interested motives.
If we could keep religion clear of those motives we
would leave it what it really is, namely, the consolation
of the afflicted, and the most valuable thing that man
can enjoy on earth and hereafter. J enter upon the
office to which I have been appointed, I believe more
by the countenance and partiality of eminent friends
than for any merit of my own ; but I enter on it with a

nervous sense of the responsibility I have undertaken.
I shall` endeavour as far as in me lies to withdraw from

he arena of public discussion questions in which re-
igioun and political feelings have been strongly mixed.

I shall endeavour by all means in my power to promcita
peace and goodwill among the people of this country,

and I shall do all in my power to develop the resources
of Ireland, and by education and other means to raise

the social condition of her people. (Hear, hear.) I
again return you my best thanks, gentlemen, and I hope
when we meet again that you shall not have had reason
to disapprove of my conduct. (Cheers.)
The assembly then separated.
