blages of Catholics and Covenanters. which were flung together at
the outset of the civil wars in either coign. ry, by the first fury of
our religious diseentions. But this was judging rashly ; 412 Ca-
tholic Association was a coalition of a very different order : it had
a method in us madnss., and an object in its tumult, which a close
observer and a dos. attention only could discern ; it was not pos-
sible to combine, iu the -anie mass. greater powers of popular ea
citation, more undisputed sway over the popular heart, and more
minute attention to the nice machinery by which the detail, of
public business (the business of many millions of men) require
to be conducted. Neither was it a mere ebullition Duns the
rank passions and the turbulent ambition of modern times : it was
of long, and slow, and patient growth ; its strength was not

which wielded it, until its femur had been brought out by hood.

growing up unnoticed. without the Constitution, which might its
due season disturb from its foundations the Constitution itself, co-
emensive with the immense majority of the population, and re-
decting, in its utmost energy, the entire form and pressure of the
popular mind.

4 Of the power of this singular anomaly, surviving penal enact-
ment. and flourishing in the midst of civil restriction, it is at pre-
sent unnecessary to speak : the chain which bound its strength
together, the magic life by which it lived, has pasted away at the
Voice of a still more powerful enchantment—Khe confident expecta-
tion of immediate and entire justice. But it may not he without
its interest and utility to trace the progress of its formation, and to
show, by what sure though tardy progress, the omnipotence of
public opinion is ultimately, though gradually, brought to bear
upon the most unmanageable questions of public policy, and in its
good time to work those mighty moral changes in the national
mind, which to the unphilnsophie (Absolver appear little less than
miraculous,

neration, and the English constitutional Protestant read with in-

make for the restitution or improvement of national rights. In
such a contest nothing is small ; nothing is to be despised. Cathodic

as has been falsely surnaise.l. the gift of a few leaders ; but its
seeds have, year after year, been plentifully sown in the mind of a
whole people, until the appointed moment for the sure and abut:-

and its own might, has been adequately proved : the certainty of

beyond a doubt ; anal if this great IC$lOll, and no other, had been
taught by the late struggle, it would have been well worth all the

blessing on the governed by means the must general, the most
simple, and the must permanent. is surely a glorious art. An
Englishman should not now have to learn it ; he ought to be the
first to teach it to all mankind. The suppression of restrictions on
personal liberty, on the liberty of the press, the amelioration of the
elective code, new guarantee for the rights of publicity and opi-
nion, a more popular municipal organization, are portions of the
same system in France, of which the approaching emancipation of
the Catholics is a still greater portion in England. He who hanks

dom of the age, with local, and ephemeral, and sectarian views,

wholesome truths, some lesson applicable to his own case. lot
