DOCTOR KELLY'S I'ASTORNL LETTER.
'Die Pastoral Letter of Dr. 'KELLY to the Ro-
man Catholic • Clergy and Laity of the Archdio-
cese of 'foam, has been some time before the
Reeder, of The Correspondent. We have slowed
this unreesonahle; and iejorions docu-
ment to rest with the public, in fee what its own
effects were likely to bee-wishing, in a matter
which touches the jealousy of religion, and which
is, therefore, a circumstance of great delicacy,
rather to follow the coerce of public feeling, than
to lead it, NS we have been al vvays accustomed to
~do upon occasions of •A sinttler nature, We pro-
ovised to notice this unhappy document, which is
trot. in its sense or spirit, the offspring of o'er age;
sod we never in thought, turned to the fulfilment
of ourpronsise, without being oppressed with dis-
gust, at the ant hitter( d usurpation over the under-
stendings of -men, to which Dr. Kelly has pre-
. teritlett—at.the rash accuse ions. which he has set
• forth, tinder the otethority of his •naose,- agaiost

spread far and Wide the moral light of education,
arid to eradicate all ;grosser ignorance from the
bottom mine., ensure to the days in which we live
the honour end the horn ageost alFaire-criedin'g imes
We cast sitsoerely-affirm, that since this portentous
Epistle shewed itself we ',ever took it op fur con-
sideration, without feeling nor hopes of seeing a
wise, a generous, awl a truly Criatiatian spirit of
conciliation spring op afilUtlr ityw.

We had flattered :ourselves that the •day wet
conic, whet) every real Christian felt himself hound
• to rally with his fellow Christians toned the cross,
to repel the awful phrenzies of blesOhetny—we
felt convinced, that we hail arrived at that point
of iime, when the fut Yes of religious prejudice must
be tamed by the sense of common danger, which.
all Christians should feel for their common reli•
gion, however varied by rituals, or distinguished
by cerenitosies, or marked by peculiar professions
of faith and we eetstured to hope that no harsh
or sour spirit ;could be conjured-up at such a sea-
bon, to rend asunder as they Were. fortning, the
tender ligaments of Christie!) tinion, or to break,
with polemic violence, the 'Christian array again,
into detached and divided Sections, incapable of
.acting under any' general impulse worthy of their
,grand and glorious designation, against the craft
-.of an impious .philosophy, and the combined
• strength of all that.bloplietnyhaeembodied against
tl•em.
Our enxioue zeal to see amain end of the de,
.sign of the Christian Gospel, peace and good-will
.among men fulfilled, niisled us.; and all its pleas-
ing dreams have been devoted, by unfortunate
reality, to dissipation. Far from seeing any re-
-Volution of felicity brought about in the Christian
,condition—tar front seeing the desire which all
enlightened amen indulge, that the rough impedi•
=cuts to the approximation of Christian Sects to-
wards each other should be softened, trium-
phantly gratified—we are doomed to see the un-
charitable spirit of religious jealousy leave its cell,
and re-appear among us—to hear it howl forth its
upbraiding*, reproaches, awl accusatioris, to scare
away, if possible, the approachin: angel of peace
and harmony ; and we are also destined to wit-
ness the miltieWed-tyranity of other times, which
called learning infidelity, and science mime, lift-
lug its idle head among us, and presuming, in
the lato,td day of the nineteenth century, to de-
ootioce the freedom of human reason, alai daring
to re-sosert its ignorant and arbitrary authority
over the mind of man.
The Letter of his,Holiness the Pope, lately re-
ceived in Ireland, bap which it appears that the
Papal authority has op,poaed itself to the educat-
ing of the Irish pone, in the manner which the
, enlightened mind of the Irish nition propose' to
effect this wear purpose, threw the first light
cloud over our hopes. We thought, however,
that, as the Papal authority •had been very re-
cently questioned in some particulars, and strong
reclarstatious (root the body of the iriOt Roman
Catholics sew forth to the Vatican., the presump-
tuous tneddlitig of the Pope in the plan of public
education, coutrived awl sopporzed .by the pattio-
. tie lab Outs of the most distinguished menibers
of
the Irish people, of all religious, was tort likely
to meet with n very injurious deference. We
coLe, iced it probable that a spit ifed reply to the
Pope's mandate would have rerniaded eitn, that a
toreigo l'ionce should not preiunic to tell the sub•

The t eptiOliCatimi 4,t the alaaave excellent Rein-

Letter •of Doctor i(elly, anon svhich we have hero
malting the •preceditig retsiatks, and has bet it re-
cotnmended by some ObSerTalioll?, to which—it
the night Reverent; Ps el at a has a;) advocate—'it
will be found no easy matter to reply.
Doctor Kelly niust have forgotten the age its
which he lives, the pirie,ress tit education, t=rout
which he appears to apititheitd so much, and tire
ingoisitive spit it which is a colt.ettience of that
edoca,ion, when he calculated upon a slavish and
submissive obedience to ally thing he was pleased
to assert. For he must have first taken it for grata-
ed that ptvsive obedience teas duty of every
Catholic, and that a blind stibnitssiott to any cline;
he may thiisk it proper to x,sert tollo wed , when
lie sent forth a panegyric orlon the moral reforma-
tion of the people, and, at the same dote, his de-
nunciations •against the diffusion of education
a tilting thetas, to soch ;eformation vr a lii
be ascribed. He tells the Roman Catholic Clerot
and [daily of the Archdiocese of "roam :
" I glorify GOD and-the Father of our Luen J CgUS Cti itt FT,
fcr the abundant consolations that I feel, when I consider
your progressioe improvement to virtue and morality, your
firm adherence to the religions of your ancestors, your tde-,
lity and loyalty to your King, nd your attacbuient to the
civil constitution of your country.
r.I cannot conceal.the.corostalation that I expl
erience, when
reflect on your temperate, peaceful, and consistent clecova-
HMI r under triads end temptations. lirunkerne4s, so incom-
patible with your temporal and eternal welfare, is not now
so prevalent oxtunkst you. Morning and eteilioK prayer,
that most essential duty of Chtistiatt piety, is universally en-
forced, and vary generally observed. The-So/inth a 70
lougir profaned by servile work, or by rain. unPr,fit able, or
criminal amusements. Perjury, into which the ignorant in
many districts hate been bin successfully seduced, by the
machinotions of tricked and interested men, is now, and I
trust for ever, at an end. I rejoice to see that you have Shia:
rendered yourselves worthy of the Rpiirobation of your Pastor,
and that your virtuous, loyal, Gaul ticaecai.:e conduct is con-
fcrmaole t,+ your religious Principlcs, and to the instructions
you have received."
One 4)01141 suppose th:t: A reformation
of
such import ance, and upon t, Bich so much praise
has been bestowed, would have given sincere sa-
tisfaction, and something of a proud contentment,
to hint by whom such praise has been pronooticed.
But the meritorious condition of the people, in
their progressive improvement in vtrtue whit nin-
rality—in the abatement of the once prevalent
vice-of drunkenness—it) the abstaining from A
profanation of the Sabbath—in the extinction of
perjury—and in their general virtuous, loyal, and
peaceable conduct, is not sufficient to satisfy Doctor
Kelly, even for the present pet ioil ; but he tells
the Pastors of those people, that , 14111(001" the
design of extirpating the Catholic Religion by
violence and persecution, has beett itt some degree
(in some degteeli 1) abandooetl, tat it bats auc•
ceeded one more likely to r ff'et its purpose, be-
cause less apparent. Recourse is bad to seduc-
tion and insinitation. An attempt is made to strip
of its natural deformity and turpittaile, site crime
of tampering with the religious principles of
the poor. The schools that are established are
embellished with a thousand specious
but at •the bottom the evil lies concealed.—
Proselytism illlallbatme the order of the clay, and
the enemies of our faith, like the serpent, creep
and give death under flowers. What is the con•
sequence ? Why, unless we estahlish and support
schools for the education of the distressed chil-
dren of our persuasion, the triumphs will be even•
wally complete, the Mystery of loiquity will have
absorbed the Mystery .of holiness, what the
cruelty of tyrants coold not have cninlii,eted in !hit,
island of Saints, will be speed:ly accomplished by
softer means.'
An abundance of (potation from the Scriptores

(oral Letter, as in any document that has 'rip-
prated (hiring our recollection. It breathes the
most unthankful sense lor the many concessions
and favours, which, during the reign of our pre-
sent venerable SovereLn, have been bestowed on
his Roman Catholic sohjects. It undervalues, in
the most insidious way, the abrogation of that
Penal Code, which, in the present day, could not
find as advocate of any religion ; it seems to
mistake the age in which we live, and the laws
Which are existing, and the conciliatory bias
of public opinion to a further softening of these
laws ; it seems to be a Misdated document, des-
tined for an age which is passed away for ever

discord ; it threatens as a consuming power,

in Ireland• There is net condemnation of it
which can be expressed witli too little qm-tlifica-
tion. Such as it is, it lutist bed touchstone to
determine pt inciples and opinions. %Ire hope the
Right Reverend Prelrite stands alone—we hope it
will torn out so; and that there is manly sense
and spirit sufficient in that dy t:f our country-
men, whose minds he would enslave, to establish
so comfortable a demonstration. Bur we hope, if
possible, vii.h increased anxieties., I.l4ist, should
the members of Doc'or Kelly's faith come to be
endowed with the power of legislating fur our

gion than Doctor Kelly has avowed, anti that
