The -Correspondenc'e lletween Mr. CANNING
and the PITT CLUB ha dIWIVII into argument the
term " Protestant Ascendancy;'' which, we had
s
hoped; the r decision cision of the two Houses bad
placed biyond all future di ,eir,ion.

As aToast, and as a Pt ineiple, it was capable
at being understood in two distinct views :,-as
general Ascendancy in every point; or as particular
Ascendancy in those points which the Roman
Catholics have not yet,,attained.
Perfect Ascendancy it cannot be, While the
Catholic religion is legalized.

Quaii,iFed Ascenclhncy it ni ty be, while rtyy part
of the State is obliged to
continue Ptotcstaot, tnid
in which Cath.ilieisto would be illegal.

re{ro:Tective ocfly for the watning's
It seems objectionable to some, because the
ORANGEMEN drink it, as Well as the PITT CLUB.
So do they the ilealths of the KING. and of the
,PRENCE Reozwr, which are equally endangered
by this community of obnoxiousness.
It were a strange species of Toleration, that
can tolerate nothing in common with the Orange-
men.

Vet they are descended -from. the Patriots, who
secured the estahlishtneut of the Protestant State,
and the succession of the Protestant Throne.
For thereby we inherit that " Protestant Ascen-
dancy," ot.which a part is still onalienated.

.Health was an' " asccndant"
Ttiait

So' was:"
.Tlie house of Ilaurisvici."; and
theii: maintenance of " the principles which
placed thelii on our Throne.'' • • • •

Those principles are Protestant z. exclusively so
and *the exclusion of the one' reliiidn is' the
" Ascendancy" di the other. . '

What offence, therefore—upon principle, and
upon consistency—is tl►R{e in the Toast of " Pro-
testant Ascendancy ?"

For, if it may exist any where, its existence
cannot be objected to :—ehe, while its existence
fundamentally legal, the objection is to ti►e
fundamental Law,

A Roman Catholic: can protect his person, ma-
nage his property, and exercise his religion, as
effectually a 3 can a Protestant. Here then is
Equality : and %viten: Equality exists, there is no
4' Ascendancy."
We must look farther for the Toast.

The Laws, which forbid the, PoPa's intrusion
upon our ecclesiastical or secular concerns, are
not Protestant. They were enacted when Eng-
land and England's sovereign were eutho/ic.—
These, then, arc Regal Supremacy, 'not " Pro-
testant Ascendancy."
Still we must look farther.
A Roman Catholic cannot enter the:Ligislatutet
nor occupy the high functions of tht:Stitte.'
then is '' Protestant 'Ascendancy." • • •

. • ...
~No.—For when these diabilitiet, are .rentove(l,
" Protestant Ascendant)" is still existing
paired eertainlY, .13tit`not
Again, we lutist look farther:—if not "for the
Toast, at least for the objection that is raised
against it.

‘Vhile the least remnant of exclusive Protes-
tantism abides; lucre is " Vrotestant Ascendancy,"
and they, to whom it is obnoxious, must object
to it upon that remnant.

By the Act' of Settlement, the Throne MUST
be exclusively Protestant. As that Act'is still
unrepealett, the Throne is the highest, 'and now
nearly the last, position of " Protestant Ascen-
danev."

Mental-reservation may be indulged. to the'fa-
vourers of Catholicism. The most liberal eman-
cipator, unless he desires to repeal the Act of Set-
Element with the Acts of.Provisors, osunot--under
thiS Salvo-;•-oliject to '''''Proteitant Ascendancy."

Jut all Salvoes are abjured ;—and-"ProTeTralit

is declarttl- inconsistent with Catholic Ematicipa-
