TO THE EDITOR, OF THE SUN,

SlR,—The nation is all alive at present to the
puted question of Catholic Emancipation ; and the par-
tial development of the plan which his Majesty's Ministers
mean to pursue on the subject has produced a wonderful
degree of excitement. The unthinking, the weak, and
the timid, see nothing but monks and monasteries—fire
and faggots, in the proposed measures ; and some who lia.re
long been reported as wise and judicious, view in them the
total destruction of all that is valuable in the Institutions
of our country. It is well fur England, and for the world
at large, that there is nerve in the Government, and freedom
in the Press; were it otherwise, instead of obtaining P. gradual
but sure victory over error, by the three of truth, we
should ourselves become the prey to our own pusillanimity.
Protestants—Why are ygll so fearful—and of what are
you afraid ? Do you doubt the soundness of your own
principles—do you imagine that those principles must
evaporate at the touch of Catholicism—or that the
intellectual Bible Christian must wither and die, under the
scowl of shrivelled and superstitious Monkism ? Away w ith
such unworthy fears, let them find a grave with your nur-
sery legends and grandmother's tales. Keep the " school-
master abroad," and keep the Press employed in providing
wholesome food for the mind ; circulate the Bible widely
among the people, and encourage them to read it for
themselves. ii/arch onward in the straight, honest, and
liberal path, and every step you tread will sound the knell
of ignorance and superstition. One of the most learned
and esteemed Romsa Catholic Bishops in Britain made a
striking remark some time ago, which ought to be placed in
juxta position with the ravings of some of the self-called
Brunswicken ; ha expressed astonishment that Protes-
tants should be so much afraid of coming in contact with
Roman Catholics, adding as a reason, " for the danger is
all on our side." Go on, Mr. Editor, with the honest
expression of your liberal and enlightened sentiments on
this important question, support the Government with
