were it in a lethargic torpor, it would arouse to absolve
Doctor MURRAY. in.this case, if it were possible for him
to prove absence of connexion between Dommus DENS
4nd-the-Irish priests in •the garb of Rome. Aye, they
'ould riot hesitate to canonize one who should thus save
.I.!is holiness's dominions in Ireland from the execrable
imputation of thislasting' ignominy. We for our own
part rejoice in a denial which shows that the priests them-
selves are ashamed of their own book. Theirs it is to all
'intents 'and purposes. Who but the hedge-priests of
'lreland have• bought up this reprint? Dr. MURRAY
himself has written supplementary matter! It will not
do to tell us they only recognize a part of this work.
They ought. truly to have had such parts printed as they,
did recognize. The talk about their dislike of it is all
"vapour and. nonsense. It will delude none. We shall at
some future time, .perhaps, recur again to this subject.
It will be sufficient for our present purpose to assure our
veaders, that all the worst and most debasing features of
lidpery stand forth in bold relief in this vile work of
..DcestlNus DENS. It is the private manual of the Irish

• priests, It contains the patent by which they legalize
murder and practise abduction.

• When, then, will the friends of protestantism arouse ?
When will. they recover the full use and vigour of their
.now stupified senses?- Arouse! Protestants of England,
arouse yourselves! . The battle of truth against error has
again, to be fought. On you mainly it depends with
whom shall he the. victory. But protestants of Scotland,
and protestants of Ireland, will you stand by as6ncon-
cerned gazers in this conflict? Assuredly you are not
se base! Electors of the united kingdom, you may, ere
twiny suns have set, be called upon to decide once and :for
ever the fate of the MONARCHY, THE CHURCH, AND THE
••CONSIITUTION. Be prepared! The fiend-like .emissaries
orpopery are at work to counteract every holy purpose.
Array•yourselves7under the banners of PROTESTANTISM,
and- slivlLb.fte .niuldegsadiag popery. Do not let :Your
descendants have it in their power. to say .that it was in
your hands, and by your instrumentality, that the bright
gem of truth was Jost; and the tawdry tinsel of flimsy.
error substituted in its place. You have received a pure
faith from your ancestors. Hand. it down to your sons
and daughter~ in its unsullied state, and. let your dying
benediction them be couched in terms of unmitigated
abhorrence of popery.
Recolledthat LUTHER, during a riressing and. sore ill-
ness, made his will; bequeathing his detestation of popery
10 his friends and pastors; and we would have. you bear
in mind the emphatic valediction of Dr. HOLLAND,
{then Regius Professor of Divinity in the University of
Oxford,) to the fellows of big college.. Commend° vos

mend you to the love of God, and to the HATRED .08•
POPERY and superstition.

As we may not have an opportunity, on Monday next
of paying our respects to the Right Honourable Lord
BsonaliAM and VAUX, we avail ourselves of the passing
hOui to address to his lordship a few brief words of
courtesy 'and devoir. •
We perceive by the newspapers that the noble and
learned lOrd is to be' entreated to a splendid entertain.
meat provided for him by his admirers in the•Amphi-
theatre. After laving the foundation of a Mechanics
Institution, Which we are assured; on high authority, will
confer blessings on' "generations yet unborn," his lord-
ship is invited to dine amid and upon the delicacies of the
season—to be desserted by grape and pineapple,
..and
surrounded by Whig and soeinian—invigorated with wine
and made heroic With flattery—praised by lisping booby
in bad English, and honoured in verse coined of dog hair)
at the- Gower-street Academy—after which the noble
•-anti learned lord will be expected to address the iflustri7
ons and- odoriferous•assenibly in a strain of eloquence
richii than the juice of littigtindy or Champagne.
Some specolatiOn is already afloat as to the important
--topics to which his address will be confined. -There is,
believe, not' a little anxiety on the subject, and it is
but right that his lordship should learn the fact from us
who are totally unconcerned .parties, and who would not
on any conditions obtrude ourselves upon the noble lord's
:•
Some of the more crafty of Lord 13Rol;GuA3i's pro=
fes;ed friends are 'exceedi'ngly -anxious that he should

confine himself on 'the present occasion to subjects es.,
•• • • ,
sentiallyconnected -.vith education. "He Must not fur
the world be allowed to. break out exclaimed a certain
friend a few hours ago. "He will all if he speaks
of his own unhappy situation oat of the ministry at the
' present'clisis,—WaS muttered by. a second friend. -"Is
it impossible `to muizle lilni ?" asked a third, sensitive
beyonci-descriptionivith respect to his lordship's reputa-
tion and thOeipiring hopes of the wings • •
these, hoWeyer, are -the opinions of persons whose
,untives Lord paUtittaiwst is well able to aPpreciate, and
Whose influence °rel. him is not, we fear, in the ratio of
their sincere and disinterested regard. The majority of
his lordship's admirers,- unconnected with the cabal, en-
tertain very different sentiments. They look upon him
as an injured man, shamefully neglected by his own parey,
whose splendid talents halie• been cast into the shade, and
whose merits as a statesman and philanthropist have been
sacrificed to Lord MELBOURNE'S disingenuousness and
Lord JonN.RUssELL'S paltry ambition. These gentle-
men feel indignant at the treatment Lord BROUOHAiki
has experienced at the.bands of a party of which he was
the brightest ornament: of which he was the leading
ch. anlPi" in every doubtful contest, and for • whom he
wrote and span for more than, twenty of the best years
of 11h4'life. 'They ciintend that now is the time for Lord
BROUGRAM to declare his wrongs, and give his worst of
fears his worst of Wmds. This they say is the only op-
portunity which his lordship has had since he,
,was so
cruelly and ignominiously exp'elled froM (Are by:Lord
MELBOURNE. The' meeting he attended in London,
when O'CONNELI. WAS present, they say, was not digni-
fied'eciougli in its character to induce Lord BRoUGIIAM
to enter upon hiadefente. A herd of Londian cobblers
and Irish hodmen, with here and-there, as a steward, the
' keeper of a beer'shOp or gin palace; smelling strongly of
his profession 'and his- ruling principles, was not the
place for the i-ea'rrieil ex-Chancellor to pour forth his
wrongs. Nos but here in LiVerpool, where so many

sentiments and animated by'rthe purest principles, re-,'

As-we take little or no interest in the matter:We' beg
to state, in the most guarded manner, that these are the
Sentiments of die majority of Lord'BROUGIIANt'S friends,
and that they will stiffer great disappointment if he.do

Here we stop 'speaking of others. We have' dis.

jecture, where those who choose to follow UR may or may
not, just as they, please. First and foremost we are de-
. sirous to know what Lord BROUGHAM will say relative to

himself. his position in political society, and the pro-
spects of thoSe who, discarding him from office, attempt
10 carry on the affairs of state without a Lord Chancel-
lor. As to the learned lord confining hiMself to educa-
tion, that is totally out of the question. He was not in-
