CLAIMS OF THE IRISH 1101114NISTS.

THE following 'is_ another Extra& (the first has
appeared in our Paper of Sattirday se'nnight) from the
Very important Pamphlet, just published- by Jolly
Bow Las, -Esq, entitled, " A Letter acldressed ,to
Samuel Whitbread, Esq. M. P. in consequence of
the uncinalified approb*ion expressed by him in the
House of Coin-mons, of Mr. Lancaster's System of
Education, the religious part of which is shewn tip
be incompatible with the safety of the Established
Church, and,in its tendency, subversive of Chris-
tianity itself: 'including also some cursory Observa-
tions on the Claims of the Irish Romanists, as they
Zeal the safety of the Established Church." .
\Kg are more particularly ihduced to sae& this
Extra& because it at once simplifies' the-titieition
respeding the Claims of the Irish-Roman Catholics;.
and contains an unanswerable argument against the
admission of those Claims. " It is admitted, by
some 'of the- most zealous advocates for the allow-
ance of such Claims, that the restriaions and dis-
abilities wnich it is their wish to remove were
necessary for the protection of the Church, andhe
quiet of the_ State, at the time when they were im-
posed.: But it is urged, in favour of their removal,
that they have ceased to be,necessary for that ijur-.
pb-Se-, in consequence of the great ehangp -which has .
since faken place in Poperx. Admitting; however,
that this Religion is materially different from what
it Once- was, in regard to those qnaliiies- by which it
became an-instrtirnent of such' extensive mischief;
and that its professors haVe-rentiuneed,the obtioxious
tenets and 1-inciples which rendered it essentially
hostile to both civil and religious rights; admitting
all thk:, still those, professors are, in-a state of selia:.
ration -from the Established Chuirch, 'and therefore
they cannot, with safety to that Church- be' adniittea
to a tall participation of power with. thQSp who --be-
long to it. IC the axiom, on which I have iciTtinch
insisted; be' entitled to that appdllation—that the
strength,. and- consequently, the safety, of every.
. establishment depends 'chiefly :on the relative ntim-
her of thOse who are attached to it, it' necessarily
follows; that in proportion to the number of those
who dissent fromia religious establishment`, such.an
establishment must be weak and insecure.:The,mere
circumstance of separation necessarily subjects it to
danger; for in proportion as the separatists from-it are
numerous, the number of those on whom alone it can
rely for support must 'be small, while that of those
who have- no interest in its preservation, and .who are
generally, apt -to suppose that they have an interest
in overthrow,. must. be formidable. , When this
is the, case, the perception of numbers. inspires
,a,
consciousness of strength, and encourages a hope
for that pre-eminence which seas always view with,
lealousy-in an establishment, and -which, on all oc-,
casions that produce division, and especially whed
Religion is concerned, mankind are desirous a at-
taining... But when the strength which is ,derived
from numbers is accompanied with the possession,
-of power, the temptation to use that power for the
advancement of those who-possess it, may fairly be
presumed to be irresistible; and it would denote the
grossest ignorance-Of human nature, to doubt that
they will employ it,- in its fullest extent, for that
purpose : if they negleaed to do so, they would
cease to be men. But when, as is now the case in
Ireland, a vast majority of the inhabitants ,ef a
country are in a state of separation from the Esta-
blished 'Church, and when, moreovc,r, they:aro
firmly united in a sea, be it what it may, to assert
that such a majority may with:safety to that Church
be admitted to a full and complete participation of
powev, in common with- its Members, is to advance
one of the most extravagant propositions that can
possibly be presented to the notice of- the human
understanding.' I confidently defy-the most expert
reasoner now alive to reconcile such a proposition'
with -common sense. Such, howeVer, is the ab-
surdity in Which the advocates for the Claiins of the
Irish Romamsts involve themselves. not;
therefore, becauSe those formidable claimants are of
a particular Religion, but because they ,are not of
• the 'established Religion, that their Claims are inad-
missible. And, beg it 'may be remembered, tlrsi
the qnestion is found to be susceptible of a most
.satistadory solution, on the ground, of adrbissiort
that. Popery has really undergone the change. whith
is attributed to it. But who 'that remembers what
Popery onCe•Wn, 'can, in investing it 'With pOWer,

be free TrOM alarth, lest its inetanierphos may -nut
be quite so complete as h.as been supposed— lest it
should hereafter resnme 'somewhat of its former c.,a-
._rgeter? In one respeet- it still. retains, even in the
country where its pretenvions are so high; a quality
which is well calculated to-excite the apprehensions
of evety 'friend of social 'order:. The essential nature
of theßeligion betows on its Priests an as( endancy
over ;the minds Of the ignorant and countless multi-
tude, which is subversi.ve of the legitimate autho-
rity of Government. That
,aseendapcy constitutes
.What may most properly. be termed impaium in irn-
iesrio. It produces.a,state of 'Vassalage and &pencil.
ence, no less hostile to civil freedom than. destruc-
.tive of the ties which unite SubjedS 't(i• Government.
It is incompatible with the Safety of dis. State obi-
leaively,.and of the individuals who- profess the
Protestant fah. It even Carries with it 'a pciwer of
life and death ; for it is supported bY the right of
excoromunication—a 'sentence which exposes the
unhappy vialitu to perish for want -of 'subsistence,
which, in such.a case, not- a single Romanrst can
safely, or even consciertiouSly, b'eslow."'
