(itivnt which bad taken'place on the
subject. The 014jettion made to the.dcclaration
of t:te inviolability of the Protestant Establish-
ment in the propmusd Bill, be thought futile and
ridieeltn, It Juieslit as well have been contended
t because the security of the Protestant sue-
ion: to the Throat' bad been enlarged upon
• in the •'‘.l3ill of Rights," that that Act had et-•
ecti the succession, as it could never be maintain-
, ed that those laws which it was propospa.to utime
in the Bill to be brought ita„ could appear by that
to have been enacted. Nothing cold be ration,
apprehended from admitting the (.". atholics to
• the privileges of the Constitution. .They would
nattaally be attached tn.that forty': of Govern:ment.
which gave Emancipation. Was it feared that
they would enter into a traitorous correspond-
' enee, 'or commt treasonable offemees ? If they
were to act thus, would they not he hmenal?le to
.'.the common law Was it supposed that they •
would attempt to rise in a -body, to kill the Pro-
testants ? If they were disposed to act thus„
in consequence of their being admitted to the
Constitution, would it not be 'in she ',power' of

• tote ww ho gave them emancipation to reduce them
• to their present situation-again? This couhl not
be doubted, nor could it be clonhfed that the
.Pro.
testants, who 'relieved them from the disabilities
of which thercOmplained,. would guard asgaies'A
the succession of a Catholic to the Throne. Ho
denied that going into a Committee, even if they
did nothing, would exasperate the Protestants, or'
disappoint the Catholics. Oh ! but it 'vas snit!,
they must give the Catholics every thin they
asked, or they-would not be satisfied. Had the
Catholiei said so, was there no retqon to believe
they would be'grateful if, but a part .of what they
asked were granted ? But they Would not be sa-
tisfied, it War; said. If they meant by satisfied,
that they would never ask any thing more, lie
would not promise this for,' them. Aid could jt.
be any imputation on any class Of sebieets, that
while any diSqualificetions remained, they should
apply to Parliament for relief ? By going into
the Conmlittee they would thew a spirit 'of conci-
liation, whiche he thought, would be likely to do
more gond than any thing that had been done for
centuries. They had not taken 'their claims into
• consideration, and going into a Committee was e
, great advance in favour of, the Catholic cause.---
The charges brought against the Right Hon. Ge-
ntleman, for not bringing forward this Bill, .were
unfairly urged, as by. a standing order he was
from doing .so. Bill could not be
',ought in to •alter the laws in religious matters,
.eitlioet the atithority of a Committee of the tvhole
Rouse. The Honeurable tied Learned Gentleman
bed. said, it means could' be devised in the Con-i
mitres which could remove from his mind the ap-
prehension of danger,, he should be most happy 4o
concur in any proposition for relieving the Caeho-
lies from the riiebilities of which they coat lain
ed. He (Mr P.) hoped every- man would go
-into the -Cornmittee with *be same feeling. *lle
hoped no one Would gn into it in the hope of
d'icating its avowed object. Those who bud such
a --e:sh, he eanjured to oppose the present Ind-
tion'. 11 woultl be ectidg a better and an infi-
titely more manly part, ,than to go iota the Com-
mittee to excite fitise hopes only to produce di
ltopnintment. If.they went into the Committee
