(From the Dublin Evening Post of Saturday.)
We refer our readers with pleasure to the follow-
ing document. In those times it is gratifying to
find men of all sects coming forward to represent to
the Government and to Parliament, the real state of
the country, and their opinion, in temperate lan-
guage, as to the meahs dr restoring peace and giving
prosperity to all. We defy the Most deterinined
partizan, at either side, to object to the sentiments
conveyed by this document, and we are rejoiced to
find that it has already been signed, not only by
many of the first Noblemen and Gentlemen "per-
sonally interested in the condition and sincerely
anxious for the happiness of Ireland," who have
long laboured in that pursuit, but also by persons
belonging to all creeds who have never before taken
any part in what is termed the Politics of Ireland.
We give this document, at present, without the sig-
natures already attached to it, because we wish that
the public throughout Ireland may have an oppor-
tunity of giving a sitnultaneous expression to their
sentiments. Let each ltidividual, who concurs in
the justice and necessity of this document, obtain,
in his immediate vicinity, signatures to it. Let those
be forwarded to where the original lies, with Messrs.
Latouche, in Castle-street, and then we shall indeed
have to congratulate the Government and the coun-
try at the genuine and powerful exhibition of the
real opinions of the wealthy and intelligent portions
of the community, collected from every district.

DECLARATION INTENDED TO BE SIIBMITTI:Ii Td PARLIA-
MENT ON THE NEXT DISCUSSION OF THE Cletittatt

Qt FSTION.

We, the undersigned, being personally interested in
the condition, and sincerely anxious for the happiness
of Ireland, feel ourselves called upon, at the present
juncture,to declare the conviction we entertain,that the
disqualifying laws which affect his Majesty's Roman
Catholic Subjects are productive of consequences
prejudicial in the highest degree to the interest of
Ireland, and the Empire to which she is united.—
With respect to Ireland in particular, they are a pri-
mary cause of her poverty and wretchedness, and the
source of those political discontents, and religious
animosities that distract the country, endanger the
safety of all its institution:, and are destructive
alike of social happiness and national prosperity.
We are further of opinion, that unless the wisdom
of the Legislature shall speedily apply a remedy to
these evils, they must, in their rapid progression,
assume, at no distant period, such a character as
must render their ultimate removal still more diffi-
cult, if not impossible. We, therefore, deem h of
paramount importance to the welfare of the Empire
at large, and of Ireland especially, that the whole
subject should be taken into immediate consideration
by Parliament, with a view to such a final and con-
ciliatory adjustment as may be conducive to the
peace and strength of the United Kingdom, to the
stabilility of our National Institutions, and to the
general satisfaction and concord of all classes of his
Majesty's Subjects.
N.B. It would he desirable that those who sign
should annex their place of residence to their names.
