POPEE

I‘lll EDI-roil—The immediate season of the
ttirtwde li.s pat.sed, but we Lnow not how
`Pevdily it IttAv be renewed. The Papists were
defemted in Mly 1813 ; they did not re-elevate

their rlughell to 1041 in the Senate House

trnr i 1 Al4y 1819—a h.pce of s:x years, almost, I
believe, to a day. Their's, one ••onhi think, is a
tnioe, which tAkes a tine ihns long for Lying
am! exploding. Let us not, however, he too con-
fileot ; we need not be to timid as to fear them,

%ve should not he so rash ns to frost thcm.

1)o not inidgitie, Sir, that I have either neglect-

el or forgotten the propositions which i bkid

slertaken to advance against Popery. iNly arm is
rdised, but it shall not fall hortlessly. I am
afraid of that spurious liberality which would
spare defeat, and hesitate to hind the vanquished.
I wait for the subsidence of a feeling, not less
mischievous than foolish, before I suggest the
measute which will at once' DISABLE the Papists
from complaining and from resenting. No maud-
lin forbearance can deter me from my duty ; if I
do not strike, it is only because I hove not yet
seen my time for striking.
Your Readers, Sir, may be ass red that the Cen-
tinel is at his post. The enemy shall not have
Moved a foot, ere the ,garrison shall he alarmed.
Already he begins to whisper—and to murmur—
and to grumble. I hear•it *laid among the Pa-
pists, that unzil they obtain the fill! possession of
the Constitution, we cannot expect them to he its
friends. BE IT so. We io•not want their friend-
ship ; we can do well without it—we can do bet-
ter without

,Presently we shall belold, that if they do not
obtain the full possession of the Constitution, we
must expect them to he its enemies. Bs THAT
SO LIKEWISE. We are strong encrogh to defend
it, not only without them, but from them. If we
did not surrender it when one Foe was at our
gate, why should we when another Foe is within
.the walls ?

But this is *tot the time for argument. I now
write merely to notice the mutinous insinuation
of their conditional loyalty. If they will not sup-
porrour Constitution without possessing it, the
next step, following bard upon our refusal, is,
that they will attack it.—Wet! ? In the last Po-
pish Rebellion but one, it became a very serious
question, whether the Penal Laws should not be
re-enacted. I am not bound to lament any cir-

CurilStalictS which may revive th►e question.

I am, Sir,

VIGIL.
