PAN STS.

Ma. V.DlTon—After the magnanimous eff4ts
which you and your able Correspondents have
made in support of that Establishment in Church
and State which has so long rendered us a free,
powerful, and, I think I may add, a moral people,
if your's is not one of the most popular Journals
ha the Country, the Country is unjust and nu.
grateful. Yon have indeed " deserved well of
the Country."- Yott, and your patriotic, vigorous
and learned -Coadjutors, have effectually detion-
strated the fatal tendency of the Roman Catholic
Creed; and if there are any Members of the Go.
verument who, after reading your Protestant Co-
lumns, can be blind to the danger of granting fur-
ther concessions to Popery, they must be short-
sighted meu, and wholly unqualified to assist in
managing our parochial concerns ; consequently
that State roust be lamentably off which is under
the controul snch Guardians. I am not cited
to fiatter,"Mr.Editor. ; the dignity of mind wlOch
you have shewn in giving, your full assent to the
religious toleration of Papists, while you firmly
endeavour to keep them from all participation in
legislative authority, is in the highest degree ho-
nourable to your j‘,47,ment and your feelings.—
itut, Sir, it is my solemn conviction iliat Govern-
ment practises an excest oftoleration in permitting
a Popish Pants-rtio,bn to exist in the Britiih Do-
minions, under the titles of our Orhodox Arch.
bishops, Bishops, &e. &c.---Be assared, Sir„ that
if the Papists could once mote obtain political
authority, they would unceasingly atteptpt to ren.
tier all those Titular Dignitaries of the Roman
Catholic Church the real possessors of all the dis-

tioctions in qosstion, and of the property at-
tached to them. For this reason lam in-
(laced to express my earnest desire that some
of the enlightened literary and political cots-
tributors to your valuable columns will take
op the subject, and demonstrate the folly,
as well as the danger, of suffering Papists
to assume the ecclesiastical distinctims of
the Protestant Church. It 13 notorious that the
Papists in Ireland, whose families once possessed
Lode(' property in that island, keep exact regis,
ters of what belonged to their ancestors, and no
doubt they will incessantly labour for the triumph
of their religion once more in the British Empire,
and then will not scruple to possess themselves of
any property which they conceive ought to have
descended to thefts, and is now polluted by the
impious% intrusion of Heretirks. I leave to you
and your judicious Correspondents the elucida-
tion of the subject, trusting that they will freely
dipoles it, and stew the absurd and dangerous
insoolicy of starting those Protestant Distinctions
which I hare noticed to remairi any longer among
the Papists in the British Empire. Whatever may
he the decision of the Legislature on the Roman
Catholic Pretensions, I repeat my conviction, that
TOUR I'I...PPR has enlightened the Country. It has
held forth a warning voice; it has preiented let-
tets which, in style, argument, energy, and truth,
have never been surpassed, and seldom equalled,
in any Public Journal, at any time. Proceed, Sir,
in your meritorious career, and yoit will have
eminently contributed to save the Country from
impending ruin. THE PEoPLE and THE GoVERN-
MPNT owe you much ; for you have in no slight
degree, by the resolute, persevering, and vigo-
rous efforts of your Paper, preserved the one
from DLMOLITION, and the other from SLAvPRV.
