BUCKINGHAMSHIRE BRUNSWICK CLUB.

An And-Catholic Societ i. forming in this county,
under the denomination of .• The !Stun:wick Conan".
tion.l Club of the county of Buckingham," in which
several persons of high respectability have already
enrolled their names. The object of the Club, and rie
' motives for instituting it, are sufficiently explained is
the following declaratioo) which has been printed sai
circulated:
DRCLABATION 01 TIM BRlUllswicE CONSTITUTIOx•L

CLUB OF FHB COUNTY OF BUCIIINONAN.
The support and defence of the Protestant Conititai
tion of England, as by law established, against Pipit
encroachment and usurpation) is the object f.r awes
the Members of the Brunswick Constitutional Club el
Buckinghamshire have associated.
Against that Constitutors, as permanently defined is
1688, all the means which Popery can still command
within these realms are now arrayed. 'fhe contest has
begun, the issue of which will decide whether the peop:e
of England are to transmit to their children the in,ti,
tutious which tr eir ancestors purchased with their blood,
or whether they will surrender them to the armpit
demands of Papal ambition ?
The Brunswick Constitutional Club interferes sot
with freedom of conscience. They admit the right al
every man to embrace whatever system of worship be
disks best, provided it does not affect the peace, ft
offend the morals of civil society—a right which is R-
owed to the Roman Catholics by existing laws, which,
in the spirit of full toleration, throw as inviolable a
protasis. over the altars of their faith, asbelong to the
isseples of the established religion.
But the concession of political power to Roman Co
tbolics is what they are resolved to resist by every Cons
vocational means within their reach, as dangerous is
{he liberties of the people, inconsistent with the pews
of the Established Chinch, and subversive to the pos.
ciples ',cognised in the Act for the settlement of the
Down.
Recent proceedings of the Roman Catholic Assails.
don in lieland show bow audacious Popery becomes
when it calculates on Protestant forbearance. To adopt
a conciliating tone with V.ose who only use the language
f intimidation would Is! regarded as an evidence of
weakness. When Romish hiests exercise their spi-
ritual terrors against the freedom of election, and de-
magogui s fling around the firebrands of an incendiary
declaration, vilifying and denouncing every thing Pro-
testant—a temporising policy would only give cocoa-
ragement to a dangerous intemperance—it would con-
firm the delusion of British weakness in the minds rf
the misled Catholic population. The Protestant poser
must be known to make the Protestant laws respected:
The same principal on which admission is demanded
for the Roman Catholic Laity into the House of Com-
mons would equally apply to the admission of their
Bishops into the House of Lords, and then we should
have the heads of the Roman Catholic Clergy legea
lacing for the Church of England, although they deny
the tight of any Protestant State to legislate for their owe.
If Roman Catholics had a tight to be admitted to the
House of Commons, they would be equally entitled to
become Members of the King's Cabinet and Psivy
Council, and thus would all the secrets of the State be
placed at the disposal of the Romish Church by means
of auricular confession.
If all the previous steps of power were conceded.
history is untrue if we do not believe that the Room
Catholics would not rest satisfied until the removal of
the last protection of Protestant freedom,by making the
Throne itself accessible to a Romish Prince. Tim
might England once more see renewed the digerati
scene of King John, when the British Monarch sar•
tendered his Crown upon his knees to the Pope's leer'
and received it again as the pardoned vassal et
Italian priest.
It is better to oppose an enemy in his approaches 10
the ramparts, than to be driven to a late resismeeee
when he shall have taken possession of the outworks, and
undermined the citadel of the Constitution.
The Members of the Brunswick Club therefore 011
upon their Protestant countrymen to express their see-
,
Wizens at this momentous crisis throughout the 104
that the Roman agitators may know that the Protesua
spirit is as determined and resistless, as when its well
and wisdom saved the country by the expulsioa 01 5
Romish dynasty, and placed the House of linosck
on the throne.
The general expression of the sentiments of the Pro'
testant community, and the formation of Clubs uP"
the constitutional but uncompromising principle of "55
' sut render," will also give assurance to the Gov/rawest
that in maintaining the Protestant laws and successios
inleolete, they only act in conformity with the saw
menu of the great body of the people, who will ace:
submit to throw open the gates of power to the engem.
of that religion and those laws, which constitute lig
, strength, and are inseparable from the grandeur of the
itiah Empire.
