find all these incidents in, the highly respectable
records, the teports of the Secret Committees of
the Irish Ilonses of Lordkand.Commons published'.
in tlre.yeatsl79B. Ireland is in such a state of
Anti disorganization,- from the causes which I have .
set forth, that in the dtbate on the Qatholic Cluitue;.
the 20th of May, Mr. Peel had the boldness.
and candour. to acknowledge, that the laws
could not be executed, 'stir the revenee. cols'
lected, but at the point of the bayonet .*. The
following incident is not less Singular than true ;
and it is alarming, and chews how much the
Protestant church is in danger.'- The Peti-
tiouers, who solicited what is called. unqua-:
lifted einancipatiou, stated in their petition, that
their religious principles were not dangerous to
the-State, or to the continuance of the present
fatal of Government, whether civil or ecclesiasti-
cal. No person had the courage or candour to
.contradict end refnie such an atrocious untruth,
and the slightest hint was .niit givea in the course'
of the debate thin Vaperyeven.existed in inland,
or that its pestilent doctrines had ever disturbed
its peace, or endangered the Constitution; though
it is nuiversully well knawn 'that the Popish mul-
titude, in nuest, piirts of Ireland,,. are organized in
treasonable combinations ; that they issue, their
mandates by posting them in ailleards during the:.-
night; and that they commit barbarous out-
rages on the persons or property of such as do •
not obey. them ; and, they frequently assassinate
those who tire concerned in the athninistration of
jastice, 'as Magistrates, constables', or witnestes.
This :demoralized state of the Papists in Ireland
is easily accounted tor, A Popiih Priett, is bound
by hiS canonical oath, not only to profess and
maintain the doctrines conta'ned in the sacred
Canons and general Councils of his Church, of
which I have given some specimens, but that'
he will be careful, that they ate held by, tueght •
and preached to, his parishioners, or those 04
cure of 'Whom -shall belong to hint' in his encas
tion." Popish .children are required to attend
the Confession•box at the tender age of six years.'
that these pernicious doctrines may 'make a,rt in.
delible impression on-them. -They are also 'taught
by their. eatechism, framed by the. infallible Coun-
cil of Trent, to regard the words of their Priests as
the voice of GOd.‘" Verbs pa),tor4nn eeeloits tan-
