This is evidently the laitguage of a man sincerely
convinced of the truth of his opinions. 'Thera is
here no reserve, no squearnisheess, but :what the
heart feels, and the head dit'lates, and the hind
writes. Mr. Crowley takes a DitcPs-eye view of the
history of the Romisb Church, its policy, and its
effects on the countries subject to its pernicious in-
fluence, and to its domineering power ; then, 'ad-
verting to his native laid, he observes,
" In this country the Clergy of the Cliureh
Rome appeai to some advantage, for this obvious
reason—because the'strong arm of a Protestant
Government keeps them within proper hpunds. If
that arm were unnerved, they. would .lobo eikhibit
themselves in a different light, int they did before,
degrading and impoverishing their couniry. They.
are still as vtatcblul as their pretivcessors were over
those uosanclioned doctrines %Wien
.became . the
source of so much power and wealth ; and, consi.
sidering therestrainis. under which alley labour, it
is wonderful how tniach power they .piesunio, with
the aid of these doctrines, to exercise oier the com-
mon people *, and how: unlch they may extort
from them. They still look forwdd to clispoisess-
ing the PrOtestant Clet-gy of their benefices, at some .
favourably juncture, and, of,uourse, forbear to join
in site factious, bin popular,•outctragainst tithes.
They decline the salaries which ..Government has
strewn a dispo4.ition to alloW thetir; htit because they
are content to be poor, as they would have 143 'be-
lieve; no Sects thing; 'but because they well know.
that what they have is really much better 1:11411 what
they could expect to get,"
We believe the whole of this statement ,to.he
strictly true ; and it must, we should think, stiggeit
most nde! refledions to those Members tit the
Legiskture; who may hereafter have are clecielr;.ouce

admission to political power while it ought to
convince those parlianaentary.prophets who. have,
most arrogantly, mos,l unwarrantably, and, las we
hope and trust,: most falsely, predicted the ultimate
success of Popish persevetance, that ~such success
could be produaive of. evils-to these kingdoms,
which all their wisdom and talents would be unable
to remove. The concluding paragraph of this sen-

principles, the intelleds, and the feelings olthe an-
