was submitted to the house, and proceeded to detail
the course he intended to pursue on this occasion.
The hon• gentleman first entered into a consideration of
various parts of the report of the commissioners, in the
course of which he remarked that from the manner in
which the evidence was taken by the commissioners,
the inquiry into the real working of the College of May-
nooth had turned out a mockery and a sham. The per-
sons examined by the commissioners were persons
whose feelings, if honest and sincere, and held the doc-
trines taught at Maynooth, would equivocate, if
equivocation was for the benefit of their Church,
and he (Mr. Spooner) contended that the question
of endowing this college was a question which the house
ought seriously to consider. It was not to be justified
that we, as a Protestant nation, should be taxed and
made to provide such books as Mr. M'Gee had enume-
rated in a work he had published, as containing the
doctrines of the Romish Church. That publication he
recommended to the perusal of the members of that
house, and he doubted not but that after reading it their
opinions would be much shaken as to the propriety of
continuing the grant to Maynooth. The Roman Catholics,
if true to their Church and its teachings, ought never to
be content until they had put themselves on a par, at
least, with the Protestant establishment in this country,
and he called on the house to support him in maintain-
ing oar constitution in Church and State that had been
purchased by the blood of our aicestors, and which, if
they did not take care, would be taken from them.
Roman Catholics were exercising an unconstitutional
influence over Parliament, and were creeping into the
Government, and obtaining undue power. Look at what
the noble lord had done and the appointments that
he had made, and it would be found to be the
case. The noble lord was unconscious of the amount
of evil he was thus bringing on the country, against
which the whole country was loud in protesting. The
only motive that induced him (Mr. Spooner) to come
forward on this subject so unpopular in that house, was
to do his duty as a Christian man—his duty to his
country, and his duty to his God—and to do everything
he could to put an end to this system which the Esta-
blished Church of this country had declared to be
idolatrous.
