TO THE ELECTORS OF GREA C Bitl FAIN.

FELLOW COUNTRYMEN,

Yon are now shout to choose those who are to
'give us laws, and being the first I'arlia►nent in the
new reign, it may naturally be looked to with more
titan common interest. I wish therefore to draw

your particular attention to one point, on which
1-am in hopes much agreement of sentiment will
prevail in the middle classes of society, (which I
take it for granted includes the greatest portion
of the Electors,) however they may differ in their
political sentiments on other matrers. I mean
the • question of :-CATNOLIC EMANCIPATION ;
iptes'ion more nearly connected with our real
happiness, as coming borne to, and affecting our
Coincide peace, our very fire-siles as it were, as
well as our public welfare, than we are apt to.
imagine. meitcly I believe because we never con.
tetunlate the evil until it threatens ; and when a
majority of the House of. Commons has put
it aside, we also put aside our thoughts'on the
sobject. .
_ _

Whatever may be said by the movers and sup-
porters of every question bt ought forwards in the
Ilouse on Catholic Emancipation, although they
may tell you it'is only one lit,le indulgence more,
by w:-.y of makikta the Catholics attached to Go-
vernment, and a great deal besides of very aniu•iog
sr'jdti.try ; the plain naked truth is, that CATHO-
LIC EMANCIPATION HIeVIS CAI HOLIC ASCEND-
ANCY, which the Catholics ate determined to ob •
lain if possible, and the prtident patt know the
surest and only way of accomphstiing it, is by
r tin it; on with one step at .a lime: I say the
pruden- part, for the ittrprudent part in Ireland
have not been wise enough to conceal their aims ;
but have publicly declared, that they peremp-
torily insist on . having the AscgteDANcy in
SPIRITUAL MATTERS; t ?it they will admit of no
vehis to annul their choice of likhops ; and that
they will not be satisfied, or even accept of, any
think less. Consequently their loyalty or at-
tachment to Government, is not to be- bought
for any trifling cone' ssions.
lint you will say, that although this may be
their wish, how are they to attain it, so lung as
we take care .that the Protestant Members of the
House of Commons be in the proportion of three
or four to one ; and, that,only.a few Catholic
Members be admitted, to represent the ma-
jority of the Irish people who are Catholics ?
Suppose by way of argument then, we admit only
ten Catholic Members, or even five ; it jo not very
long since, that a question on Catholic Emanei-
p'atioo %vas decided by one single casting Vote;
end, therefore bad there•been only otte Catholic
Alemher, in the place of those decidedly Protes-
tant, (I mean the majority,) the question would
have been carried;_ and consequently it is difficult
to say what number (however small) of Catholic
Members, may nut he sufficient for obtaining CA-
THOLIC ASCRNDANCr. If the Catholics gain only
one imijority, they will not stop there; no arti-
fice will be left unttied.to obtain snore; and It
will he soon discovered, that not five or ten Mem-
bert-will be thought an adequate representation of
all the Catholics in Great Britain, and Ireland;
but that more must soon lie added.

It is matter of great surprise to me, that in a
House of. Commons, professedly all Protestants,
every agitation of this subject sl►e►v's, on the di-
visions, nearly one half of the Membt rs so be on
the side of. the Catholics ; surely the Members
must be strangely, blinded by their notions of
liberality and toleration,
_if they do not perceive,
that if these measures ►•ere carried according to
tfteir votes, it would severely injure, if not to•
tally destroy, the very stanri►►a by which► the
strength and .happiness of this Coun.try is up-
held. I mean, the moral principle of the people.,
It was this principle that Obtained for Bri-
tain the high pitch of pre-entinenee she held
in 1815, 'when during the preceding wars, every
other nation in Europe, had in some way or other,
been obliged to contes the superiority of one con-
quering not er ; while Britain alone,
wise, strenuous, firm, of unsubmitting soul,"

constantly' !net its threats with defiance, and ul-
tittUrely triumphed. 'The soperiotity of this
country was acknowledged by the great powers
engaged in the same contest placing, with general
consent, the Duke WELLINGTON in the com-
mand Of all their Armies of Occupation, at the
bead of their own most illustrious and distinguish-
ef 'Generals. The moral, not the physical strength
of Britain, achieved all this : industry furnished
virealiTt, integrity credit ; public spirit applied
theM ; and religion gave courage and persever-
ance. While our physical strength, from extent
and popelatiou, bore no COMpillsoll to many of
the coremporary powers of the Continent who had
been severally vanquished.
in order to abew how this viral stamina, the
moral,prioeiple of the nation, will be injure/I by
Catholic emancipation, I twist assume, for the
sake of argument, that they have obtained indul-
gences to a moderate. extent ; and w ill suppose
that tt,e Throne and the highest Offices of State,
remain Protestant ; that the inferior Offices of
State, both Houses of Pailiamelit, the army and
Navy, the Magistracy and Corporations,-have a
small mixture of Catholics in each. That the
people of every persuasion are carefully to ab-
stain from interrupting each other in religious
ceremonies, and- every one to serve God in his
own way, anal 'observe only such forms and re-
strictions as his Church or Sect enjoins. For a
while, it might be supposed, all parties would go
on dOmfortably enough together ; and if there
xvere none but enlightened, well-informed Lay
Catholics, it might possibly last. But the Court
of Nome will not stiffer it. For, that the same
thirst for Supremacy, the same desire to keep the
people under the influence 'ot th 2 Priests, and at-
tain thereby the Catholic ascendancy, in the
Church at least, .of every COuntry, still exists in
the Conclave, appears evident, by the vigilance
they exercise to prevent the propagation of the
G-so,rel, by Bible Sodieties, wherever they have
influence like the Pharisees of old, " they
Sea and !tint] to make one proselyte."--
The Cii'rholic Bishops, therefore, will receive
iustioctions from the Pope to exhort and stir
up the Priests to use- all diligence in making

converts; by such 'means as 1 best answer that

purpose.

. -
These means not be by terrors, but by
temptations ; at leaSt until-they-have -gained suet-
cient accession of numbers to contend. Every
Roman Catholic Country has its grandest holiday
on a Sunday : more Operas, Ballets, Theatres,
and public places of amusement are open on that
clay, and are more frequented, than on any other
day in the week : let it be remembered that it
was in coming out of the Opera Ilouse on a
Sunday Evening, that . the Duke of BERIII was
assassinated. The Catholics who have wanted
.only one vote on a former occasion, to carry.
a question in the hionse of Commons, when no
Catholics were members, will not then want
influence to get a few minor Theatres licensed,
in London and all the corporate TOwns, for the
amusement of Catholics on Sundays. The irre-
ligious of all sects and parties will soon join such
an accommodating faith, at least will join their
mode of finishing the Sabbath ; and thus give
a great accession of numbers in their favour. The
'undecided in religion, and most of those young
pet sons who are trom under :he controul of their
parents, or superiors, on that day, will be in-
clined to take an innocent peep at first, and
sering no harm as they think,, will grarliially•
prefer sitting in a. Theatre at a smail expense,
(for low prices will he a pall of their policy here
as it is tit., the Continent), if it be only to look at
young pet sous_. of the oppusite sex, to staying at
home, teiding, or yawning over the tire, in 'pro-
testant dullness.—Even many mitt! le aged persons
it is to be feared would ne.t be very particular
about going sometimes ; when enstom had render-
ed these exhibitiOns more familiar. Now, what

svoidcl be thecouserpeoce of this, as to bringing
on a laxity of the moral piinciple of the nation, I
need not be At (MICE) trouble in pointing out I
need only request you to enquire, if you doubt,

what are the. general morals of C,Atholic countries
no the Continent ; and which are greatly owing,
I !hills, to these causes. lint the grand engine.
which destroys all morality, rant and branch,:
amongst the lower ordets, is the koowledp..Je that
they can get absolution, no some terms or
other, front the Priests ; and finilly escape the
punishment tit hell, as they. think, for every
crime. 1 firmly believe, that it is this persua-
sion, amongst the lower orders. of the Irish, that
has led them to commit murders and robbery to
such an extent as they are continually doing ;
especially on -the Protestants ; as if they had
nothing to tear from the vengeance of God,aull
had only to evade the punishment of man. Is is
true there have been instances of retaliation,
on the part of the Protestants ; but they are,
much more rare ; and these, I have n o doubt,
are from the bad examples and irritation of the
Catholics ; and I Make this inference, front
there being 'DO instances, or at least none in
compariton, of murder and assassination being
set about systematically in bands, io those coun-
tries where the lower nOpulation are Protes-
tants of the reformed Church ; while Italy, the
vet y home of the Porte, and the fountain head of
Popery, and outer Catholic countries, are
in-
tested 'with hordes of ruffians ; living professedly
by pillage and murder *. It-stay be said it is the
fault of their Governments ; pray then what Go-
vernment is Ireland under ? I say, it is the fault
of their religion ; which has taken nom them the
fear of God ; for they believe, that even ill got
wealth will purchase absolution of the Priest at
the hour of death. ,

As the causes before mentioned will more par-
ticularly tend to demoralize the lower orders, and
affect in a certain degree the middle Classes-, I
must crave a little of your attention, to another
cause of demoralization ; which I..SuPpose will
have most effect on the middle and higher orders
of society. The female character in this country.,
1 apprehend, to have great influence on the mu-
ral, of the community. The conjugal happiness,
domestic order, and pure morals of every. family,
.depends much on the mistress. The increase
.of Catholic people, will no doubt produce a pro-
portionable (or more than a proportionable)
number of Priests. %Veil educated young men of
this• class will be gladly admitted into society;
and as parties Joust cons!st of Romans and
Protestants indiscriminately, it may be sup-
posed intermarriages will take place more ire.
queudy- than heretofore, between Protestant men
and Catholic women ; for in youth, personal at-
tractions and pleasing manners, are often such
ir-
resistihle argot»ents,as not easily to be overcome;
especially as our Clergy are not authorized to
thunder out their anathemas of eternal damnation,
to prevent it, as the Catholics are, unless the
parties will profess a conformity to their Chureli.
This introduction of the Priests into general so-
ciety, and these intermarriages, would give them
-great opportunities, by assiduity and frequent in- j
tercourse, to make converts of many protestant
females, and finally to exerci-e that ascendancy
over the Ladies of this country which time young
Alrbees (not always by purely spiritual 'argu-
ments,) exercised over the Ladies in France ;
and which was so unfavourable to the female, cha-
racter and to public morals. lam very willing to
give Catholic Priests credit for as much virtue as
other men ;revert the Protestant Clergy nut ae-
cepted; but their religion forbidding then) to
Marry, and the confession of a woman's frailties,
made to them with her own lips, in order to ob-.
tain absolution, together with much leisure, awl
without any_ worldly pursuits to excite 'their am-
bition, they ate exposed to peculiar temptations ;
and I am not inclined to asetibe so large a shale
of sane icy to any sect of Priests, as to suppose
that they are not men of like passions with others.
I leave it therefore to every Protestant husband,
to judge for himself, if by any means Catholic
influence infects the females of his family;.-whe-
ther the frequent domiciliary visits of the Priest,
or the Clot,eililo Et coutession, and the i‘teas of,
what may be the consequence,- will not abate
family confideoce; poison conjugal felicity, and
not only, as_ I bt•fitst asserted, bring evil to a
man's fire-side, but iu many cases, corrode like a

troll) what I have read.of the Pope and St. Peter,
their characters and conduct spent to :me a's'oPPo-
site as light and dark': nor will I attempt to dis-
prove, that the Pope and Cardinals concentrated
in Council, are not so_ hilly assisted by the holy
.spit it, as to render their decisiimsinfallible, as the
decrees of God himself, and thereby givk them
power to dispense eternal rewards and punish 7
tnents
.at their will; I w ill not, I say, dispute
these matters here ; although most of toy Lord
Cardinals of England, and those who have come
to this country from •Rome, (and who it is fair to
presume, brought as 'pitch holiness, with them as
they set out with,) seem to have been influenced
by a satanic spirit, rather than a holy one ; if'we
are to believe our histotians ; but trill leave these
matters to he settled by the Theologians ; and
conclude with exhorting my fellow Electors,' if
they would not like to see their Country reduced
to a level with the Roman Catholii, States' in
tnorals ; if they wish not to give up the superior
'distinction now attached to a Briton ; if they wish
to see comfort and confidence at their own 'fit e-
;tides ; if they wish to be 'independent in their
families ; .and not to be priest-ridden ; let them
not tremble at the prosp'ct like children, but
.avert it at the present like men ; by hOldly and p -
skive!), refusing to vote for any Members to sit in
the approaching Parliament, but those who openly
avow their determination not to befriend Catho-
lic Emancipation ; so long as they ate sent to,

Mr. JUNES lit.inDUTT OM) stepped torwar(l,
and said, that he was sorry at being under the
necessity of announcing to the electors the indis
pOsition of Sir Francis Burdett. His cold was so
extremely bad, Ow if lie were present, it would
have been impossible for him to make himself
audible. His absence, therefore, he trusted,
would be attributed to the only cause -which conld
hAve wit!ebeld him• from appearing on the hust-
ings.—(Cheers.)—He desired, on his own ac-
count, to-be permitted to congratulate the. Ele-
ctors on the situation of the poll, The advantage
they had gained chat day, lie trusted, would
enable them to bring the contest to a successful
and triumphant result. Ile could not let this op-
portulity pass, wi'hont i,ffering his humble, but
warm and sincere.thanks to 3.1 r. flobhouse, pho
had so zealously advocated the cause of general
freedom, in resisting that monstrous power of ar-
bitrary jlrisdiction which had been claimed by
the 1-louse of Commons.—(Clieers.)—He wired
it were bin. his means to serve him more es-
sentially than be had, but they might rest -assnred.
that every exertion in his grasp should he made
to secure his success. The tmid:lnd unconsti-
tutional power of arbitrary jurisdiction to which
he had alluded, he would represent, to them in the
'language of truth,norin his own language,
.but
in (bat of Mr. Burke, who said, '' That a large
and liberal construction in ascertaining otrepces;
Hod a discretioriary power in punishing them wits
a criminal court of equity, which was a monster
in jurisprudence." To the truth of this observa.'
tion, he was wire, that all to wiroM he addres“d
himself would bear the strongest testimony. The"
Honourable Gentleman concluded by. adverting
to the scriptural story of the man who bad fallen
among thievtst, and who, though passed by the
Levit es and priests, tvai relieved by the gond Sa-mat itan, who refreshed him, and poured oil into
his wounds. fie trusted the Electori of West-
minster would prove the good Samaritan to Mr.
Elobbouse, hind'up his wounds, and pour oif upon
them, by reforming hirn as their Representative
in Parliament.

Mr. LAME next presented himself to the elec
tors. He returned thanks to the opposite peril
-for the courtesy they hid exercised in requeiting
for him a patient hearing. But even if they were
disposed to attend to this recommendation, he
would not occupy their attention for any .great
length of time. He could not but regret the ah.
settee of the Worthy Baronet, whose. indtspOsi-
lion hid been aurmunced, for be confelsed that
lie -had some satisfaction in speaking after birn..—
(Cries of bravo !)—There was a pleasure in hear-
ingthis speeches, because be met his opponent
fairly, and grappled with his, arguments in an
ripen, candid, and honourable in:inner—he took
no mean advantage of what might have been said,
and fairly represented the observations to which
he might feel hims, If called upon to reply. .But!
with regard to Mr. Hubbouse, be was not pre,
pared to make the same declaration, and therefore
he should be pet fectly contented to let his speech
of the. preceding evening go uncommented upon,
—(Groans and hisses),---41t least those carts in
there was a difference between them. There
,were points, however, in which he entirely •coh-
curled, and to which he listened with great sti-.
tisfaction. With respect to the numbers which•
had polled, he begged to, assure the electors th at
lie was as witch undismayed as ever. .He still
retained the same confidence as to the result of
:this contest.—(One of the crowd exclaimed,,--
" Then you have a cursed deal of assurance.")
-Ile admitted -that he had ; and he believed
it was very necessary on those hustings:—
(Bravo and laughter:)—And Ite also ved thatit was 11(11 conllnrd to 1111r1 idCMC:—.?(L3qghter.)—
Mr. Hubhouse had told them on a former day to
let his .(Mr. Lomb's) canvassers .go'about with
this onestion :—‘.! Will you vote for a.nian who
says that the House of Commons is the constith.
tional Representatives of the reople—or for a

Man tvho holds a contrary doctrine .He readilY
met ill"r. Hobhouse on that point. He was Iva'
ling that his canvassers should put this question)
for he was ready to stand or fall with .the Consti-
tution, such as it was.. He was ready to stand.
by the Constitution with all its defects, rathet,
that) he would concur with the illegal attempts
which were made out of doors to effect a Refortg
which was calculated rather to destroy altogether,
than to amend it. He would consent to no Re;
Om but such as was brought abotir by legal sou
constitutional means.—(Loud disapprobation WO'
here_ expressed by an individual in the crovrak
when a person who stood near Mr. Lamb et;
claimed, " We want no Cato;street conspiracies.
This created considerable uproar and hisses.).'
Mr. Lamb, in continuation, begged to ask, if the
House of Commons were the infamous and cot',
rupt 'hotly w Welt the Honourable Baronet (Sir Egi
Burdett) hod described, how it came to pass that
both himself and Mr. Hobhouse were so anxious
to obtain a seat in such an assembly ?—(Cries
of " Because they mean to. reform it.")—Da
they indulge the Quixotic hope that their do
queuce, would eudble them to persuade that cor.=
ropt House to reform itselt ? And this, too•
after they had told them; day atter dry, that it Ile"
ver would reform itself ? If the House would not'
reform itself, where Was the consistency of theiri
wishing to sit in it ? If Mr. Hobhouse had any
consistency, it was not in the House that he
should seek to reform it, !At out of it, at the
head of those Gentlemen who were to effect red
form by pulling theiears of its Members.—(t'lisses
and some cries of " All fair.")—lt was hardly to
he expected that those who would incite, or pt--.
(her recommend the people to insult the Member"
of the House..of. Commons, would be thcmSelveti,
anxious 14 obtain a scat in an assembly whicts,
they had characterised 'as'deServing those insults,,
For himself he could only repeat,- that he was
for a liclottn in the Constitution by constitutional
and legal means, and if it could not be re-
formed in this way, he hoped it would never be
reformed at all.—(Some applause,- and cries of
" Off, off.")—ln conclusion, Mr. Lamb-repeated'
his confidence as to the ultimate issue of tbef
Election.

, .
floßuousE now presented himself to die
Electors. He said he was pleased to find OW
the Honourable Gentleman who had just ad-;
dressed them should feel sensible of the courtesy I
whiCh had been exercised towards him in the re'
(pie (which had been made, that he might be al'
towed a hearing ; but .be was sorry to say that:
be had not exercised a similar courtesy in return.,
He hadtold.th eiti that he felt pleaitire in answer'
iris, Sir Francis Burdett ; but while he passed this'
complitnent to the worthy Baronet, he thought,
it necessary to add, that he (Mr. Hobhoi'se) had.
taken mean and captions objections to his speech%
Mr. LAMB denied that he meant to apply those
epi:bets to Mr. Hobbouse. 'What he said was,
that Sir F. Burdett had not taken meats ad iisn'
tages of what bad fallen. froin him.
Mr. 1-1011110 USE said, that the inference to lit
drawn from this language was plain and intellV
gible—it was in terms saying, that although Sic
Francis Burdett did not take mean edvantages,
that be (Mr. Llobboutte) did—neee? bek,,,, as the
lbouoto able Gentleman had furnished, With.hit
psualingenili!y, a new glossary to his owl, wordy,,
he should make no further allusoin to the subject,.,
He could not help saying, 'however, that wl'eu
Mr. Lamb complained of being misrepresented, it
would have beet, but candid to have stated in w bat
re•pect the tnisrepre,sentatioll bad taken place. \J r•
H. then •pi.oceeded will great ingenuity and elo-
quence, to reply to the different topics of Mr.
speech, and to observe, ibia his motive for desirie4,
a seat in the House of Commons was precisely rue:
same as that which had been dedared by Mr. Fo%
