Would thick himself unworthy to take any part in this dis-
eussiou, if he hesitated to adopt the sentiments of his Hon.
and Learned Friend (Mr. Brougham). It was of tie im-
Penance from what quarter this measure came, or by
Whom it was proposed or curried. It was a measure for
calAblialling religious liberty and national unanimity, and
fur ensuring the safety and greatness of the British EnTire.
Oa those grounds he should conclude with stating that he
felt greater delight at the transactions of that day than at
any public event he had ever witnessed.—(Cheers.)
Sir FRANCIS BURDETT cordially concurred in all
that had been skid by his Hon. and Learned Friend (Mr.
Brougham), and more espeeially in the advice be had
given to the Catholics--(hear, hear)—which, he ventured
to
say, was the wisest, and saf-st, and most consinc-
tag &quit-tent that could he addressed to the honest though
Prejudiced potties, of the Protestant people of this country.
This measure would unite all men iu support of the jus-
tice of the Catholic Claims, and all men would feel that there
Wag more of danger from tefnsing the Catholics their
rights,. than from yielding to the prejudices which, he
4ittld not deny, many honest men yet did reasonably
eAtertain. At the same time, he must take that oppor-
slmity to express his gratification that, under circum.
litAgysi.e so difficult as those in which Lord Wellington
Ivo pl4oeid; he should have been able to prepare and ma-
ture the minds of so many persons to comply with his
vietel!,,And bring to this point a question of such importance.
He intitalso say, that such was the fairness of the Right
Hun. Gent. (Mr. Peel), that so far was any part of his
conduct from requiring explanation, be was entitled to the
support of every honest man. (Cheers.) He had taken the
opporttioittivhen he could, to turn to the public good, having
concinereclfle little misgivings to which every mind must
be subjects .ing anticipating the taunts he would undergo
fronl pia feesater friends. Supposing even that the Right
Ifoulitirable Veeptleman would still prefer the Protestant
