Mr. H. DRUNIMOND was of opinion that tt was
better to ray on the c Hence of men than bind them
► y oat; s What the house had to prevent was the as-
n of temporal po%Ner by 'be Roman CAr
priests, and he thought that was to be d-ne by instruct
ing the It was the duty of the Roman Catholic
laity to teach the priest. their da,v, as much as it was
the latt.r to teach the former. With the a.,read of the
Ilble he did not fear the am‘unsption of temporal power
by the present law. fie thought this a fitting time to
make the alteratirn asked.

Mr. STAPLETON, thnne be agreed in the move-
ment, pail h- did not c•mvidt.r the mode adopted as the
right course to be pursued to give Roman Carbolic; the
relief required. He should be obliged to vute against

Mr. WALPOLE oon,,Ped the amendment.

at the table of that house. • It was time to abolish the •
necessity of asking every man who agreed in the broad
principles of Christianity to which church he belonged.
The noble bid •at the bead of the Government bad
omitted two important passages fr.im the Protest int
oath, but retained them for those who belonged to the
Roman Cath. lic Church, which was as offensive to one as to
the other where it was considered they implied a mis-
trust of the loyalty and good faith of the R man Catho-
lic members. If this bill passed in its present shape it
would amount to a legislative enactment that the altera-
tion was unnecessary for Protestants, because it placed
implicit faith and confidence in the loyalty and good
faith of Protestants, but that it did not in those of
Roman Catholics. He respectfully and earnesty
protested against any such distinction • betßeen
the members of the two churches, and he a•keil the Go.
vernment to place ali on an equality of footing, and ex-
act from all who came to that house one texN and one
text oily —that of promising allegiance to her Majesty
and to continue it in the proper line f .uccession. The
learned gentleman prooeede • to argue .hat there was no-
thing to fear from Roman Catholics, and again loudly
protested against the individious distino ion . that
this bill would make between Roman Catholics
and Protestants. He (Mr. Deasy) thought the
clause relative to the ant of settlement ()eight to be
struck ant of the Roman Catholic oath, as well as that
part having reference te the English Church. The hen.
gentleman, af:er referring to the objections that
were at first urged against the admission of Rieman
Catholics to Parliament, and the opinion of the late
Sir R. Peel in favour of that privilege, said that
the Parliament of that time did not understand
or intend that the oath to be adrnini-tered to Roman
Catholic meinhrrs was ever intended as a securi
aeainst the E-tabl.she i Church. The Established
Church had net derived any particular benefit or danger
av was anticipate t from the R 'man Catholics Toe an-
ticipated dangers had pr ved visionary, and the for.
midable enemies of the Established Church hi that
house were not Roman Catbelic members, who
were few in number, and weak in intelligence,'
but the gentlemen who sat on the back beeches,
who were connected with England and Scot-
land, the representatives of Di•seetere, the beredi•
tary descendants of the Puritans, who opposed all
Church endowments. No restrictions were taken
from them, and he saw no reason why they should be
taken from Roman Catholic members. T• e real secu-
rity for the Eseiblished Church should be found in the
attachment of the people. The oath ought not to be kept
as a trap for consciences or a topic of angry &mission,
Stu., but the Government ought to adopt one
of two coerses, either by a legislative declaration,
to define the sense in which the oath should be taken,
but he thought it would be a diffieulty to get Perna•
ment to agree on that, or to abrogate the well altoge-
ther, and put all the members on the same footing. He
therefore ask. d the house to agree to his amendment.
Lord PALMERSTON said that he hoped through-
out the discussion all would studiously avoid entering
into religious disquisitions, such ste had on former occa-
shins at ended debates of this character. (Hear.) He
considered it was desirat•leit practicable that there should
be but one eath to be taken by all the metob,rs of tba'
house, and that there were pars of the Roman Catholic
oath that bad he the power of altering he should not
wish to retain. - (Hear, bear) The question was not
whether the house should place the Roman Catholics in
a different position from Protestants, but whether iu
altering the veth as regards the latter, alteration should
be made in the oath that would relieve the Jews,
and be submitted to the Roman Catholic mem.
bars that the course they were pursuing was not likely
to obtain what they desired, and he appealed to them,
whether it was worth their while to throw impediments
in the way of the bill, and prevent its passing, because
they could not obtain what they at present desired.
Wialent entering into a dicussien of the particular
parts of the oath rferred to, be based his ohpoeitii n
on the trod ground teat it was mixing up in one
discus-ion suhjecte very different in their nature. Any
attempt to alter the R man Catholic oath now would
end in the fa lure of the measure under consid.-ration,
and he should tberef ire c intent himself with re-ting
opposition on the broil ground he had ment one
arid he hoped that honour& 1-, and learned m
m-
b-re would not persevere i•i taking the ssiise
of the louse on this question ; but that shou•d
h fie-1 it to be his duty to divide, he (Lord Palmersioi )
Loped the house would not agree to -he amendment.
H-, however, did not consider that hon. rtiemb,rs if the
v. ted against the amendment would be pledg ug them.
