CONSTITUTIONAL SENTINEL,
NEW WEEKLY PAPER. -
GENTLEMEN—On the 13th of last July, I
submitted, for yourconsideration, a few of those reasons
which induced me to believe,- that; without The establishment of,
at least, one WEtKLY JOURNAL 'in: the CITY of DUB-
LIN*, to watch Over the interests, and advocate the cause, of the
stablished Church, the sanctity of the Constitution would be
violated, and the -ascendancy of your principles would be im-
Mited: I informed you, that such a Journal, to be of any ser-
.vi-°e, must be independent, as well of the Cabinet as the Castle,
and suited. to the present ominouSaexaraordinary,- and deceitful
aspect of the times ; which, believe me, requires not only strong
211 - natvouslanguage to be applied, but bold and constitutionpi
truths to be explained.
Gentlemen Protestants, through the medium, of this Journal
I. air 'determined that your privileges shall be advocated, im-
Partial-IY, but firmly—without prejudice, and, most certainly,
without fear ;•no
compromise, or no inroad upon your Consti-
-4tiorl, will I submit to, without exposing the authors; should
fail in blasting their acts; anti I hope, that, in my'produc.-
of authorities and incontrovertible documents, I shall not
