• The bitterness, of abuse which the, Roman
!Catholic:declaimers in Dublin are in: .the -habit
of venting against such of the Protestant
.porters of 'their cause who may happen to:differ
:with them on any point, proves,
,pretty clearly
Ihat,.althoughfiberaiity is their.profession, the:
worst intolerance is their practice: The turning
'out of Mr. Vesey Fitzgerald,, the constant and,
;hereditary adVodate of Emancipation,'. from the
•
!representation of Clare, was an inStance. of their
gratitude, only equal,: to that which ,they:
evinced when, at a former time, they took
their., petition, out of the hands of the. late
Mr. ilenry ;Grattan, and entrusted it to another,
merely because Mr. Grattan :declined to sub-
mit his free judgment as a Member of Parlia-
ment to the dictation'and control of Mr. O'Con-
nell and his party. The recent deounciations
against Mr. Lavalette Hutchinson,: also the con-
stant and hereditary promoter of the Catholic
claiMs, .is another instance of their gratitude; asr
well as of their consisteney. 'The. scurrilous
treatment which Lord:Rossmore has received,
for daring to, retain any opinion of his own,
after going unusual lengths to serve the Popish
cause, is another example of the readiness with
which Protestant favours are forgot, wl :niever
heretic support stops short of absolute subset.,
viency. In fact, these declaimers act as if they
were determined to have, no Protestant friends
who will not submit to be their abject toole-and
slaves. Penee their, ,gross abuse of Mr. Cob-
bett and Mr. Hunt, for having the presumption
to think for themselves.—Morning Herald.
