owes his success than to the monstenos end for-
midable coalition which ha has made with the cold
and subtle inidel—the dy stso insidious seceder:—
the blind and fetteredtadberint of piny politics—they
spiritual darkness of high places; and last, not least but
worse by tar than all..—and theonnateral and suicidal
apathy of those who profess' to belong to a religiqp
which they do um think it worth their while to &tend.'
He would detain them no longer, be thanker them more
than he could express for the reception they bad given
him, and from his heart be prayed, that a county
, tug to no part of the Empire in its loyalty to the Log,
in its means of appreciating and enjoying the blessing!
of the Constitution, may long be the steady and-un.
Binding supporters of that Protestant Church. to which
the King owes his Crown, and the Constitution itsfreo-
dons—(Cheers).
Mr. Miseavr saidithet he had asked a question of
the Honourable Member who had just sat down, when
they were both in the House of Commons, and he would
repeat the question then. If they were di-posed to re-
sist concession, what remedy would they offer in lies
of it for the trianitillity of Ireland? If they tetused
Concession, they etould have a rebellion in Ireland is
less than six months--(Uproat). These were his opi-
nions, bet be.was sorry they were not the opinions of
the Meeting.
Mr. H. DRUMMOND contended that the sole question
was, whether or not the people of Ireland were to get
rid of their tithes? That was the truth, and it was
folly to conceal it iand he contended that thePoto Laws
were a benefit to every cnuntt y. He could not blame
the Dissenters for wishing to pull down the religion
of Babylon. He, fur his part, thought Po, es, the teli-
gionof Babylon, and he would put it down if he could.
M. Honses &prima wished to show the people that
be had not followed the example of those turn-coats
who bad become traitors to the cause. He thought that
the concurrence of sentiment that day manifested did
honour to the county. The petitions of the people had
been disregarded by the House of Commons. and the
arch Apostate, the Right Hon. It Peel—(Cheers)--that
arch Apostate to their cause, had declared that peti-
tions did not speak their teal sentiments. He contended,
however, that the country was not aware the Catholic
Qiresti,,n wits in agitation at the time of the last election,
and that a veil bad purposely been thrown over it in
184,when that election took place. After some (Awry a-
tioos upon.. the mistakes of the Duke of Wellington,
and the tergiveriations of Mr. Peel, the Hun. Gentleman
declared that Lord Liverpool would never have acted
in this manner ; and although be (Mr. Butanes) hid
followed Mr. Peel for ten years with confidence, zeal,
and attachment, yet so base had been bis tergiversation
that he now abandoned him for ever ; and like most
upright and true hearted Englishmen, he had to de-
plore the fatal effects which late events would have upon
the opinions of all men with respect to the value of con-
sistency in public characters. How different was the coo-
duct of Mr. Percival under such circumstances ! Men
said it would be impossible to tor m a No Popery Catii-
net, but there was enough of talent-in the country fin
that yuypose; all talent was not confined to the House
of Commons. Mr. Perceval was unknown at the time he
appeared to form an Administration, even although Mr.
Pitt bad declared he did not consider himself lit to bold a
candle to him (M r.Per cm!). That Gentleman, however,
justified the opinion of Ms. Pete, and till the very hour
'he fell by the hand of the assassin, continued to carry the
power, and support the glory, of his country to a greater
event than bad ever been done by any Minister before.
With such a man at the head of affitiek now, there
would be no need to sacrifice the Constitution in order
to preserve the peace of Leland. These were his opi-
nions. He would not renounce them or change his,
co it, as others had done, for he was determined on all
occasions to adhere to th se principles *Lich he had
maintained through the la bote of his political life—(The
cries of " Question," being lothfly reiterated), the Hoe.
Gentleman concluded by declaring that he would
firmly anti perseveringly support re Resolutions, which
were, he was pr..ud to say, iu strict accordance with
his opinions.
Mr. H GRAMM. M.P. amidst load calls for Qui-s-
-don, obtained, through the intercession of Mr. Mau r,
a partial hearing. Ile vindicated the condi/cc of Mi-
nisters, and declared that, from his knowledge of Ire-
land. nothing but concession could put an end to that
horrid state of party excitement a hich prevailed there.
The 1110 H SIMI,/ then put the question u: on the
Petitioo, which was carried by a majority of about
eight so one
The HIGH &URI,' insipediately dis.olved the Meet-
ing, and then bowed and retired.'
