rally btiewittsl. the-Catholic Question ; but he was fir
front tonsideting it asa Catholic question : he conceived
it to effect the liberties of met of all persuasions. It was
of tht'very highest importance 7to every interest in the
country—it was more a Protestant than a Catholic ques-
tion, and it was more an Irish question than either.. It
involved claims to which not less than twothirds of the
Protestant population of Leland were decidedly favour-
able—it was a question which materially affected the
property of that country—and the whole of the enlight-.
.ened, portion of, the. Protestants of that country earnestly
denianded its final a.djustment, as essential to the peace
and prosperity of their lives. Irrshori, every man there,
demanded, except those who profited•by Irish corrup-
tion,and. Irish tyranny, and Irish abuse; and now that
that intelligent and well-informed body, the Dissenters,
had obtained all they desired, he hoped that cloy would
rot:present any barrier to, the success of their brethren in
Itelatia;bueihat they would allow themselves to be in.
litaaneid . by that genercitis sinipathy which prompts men
to, ligiliTaYtiniably on the efforts of others.toobtain that
of Whieh.they themselves are alreadrin possession. It
was dot is i matter-of jitsticeer of general policy that he
felt biota to urge it upon the consideration of the Le-
Rist,torit 'nod his Constituents, but ala matter of finance.
If the Chilli's of the Catholics were but once acceded to,
be isinieiyail tilitt a greater step would be made towards
;mewling the Condition of the country-on the matter
of income atreztienditure, than all tbdt ever 'mighthe
ape led, horn the labours of 'Finance Committees. He
woiel,d now come to the great question on Which he con-
