THE PAPAL AGGRESSION.—TOXTETH•PARK
PROTESTANT' OPERATIVE ASSOCIATION.
Last night a meeting, called by the Protestant Opera-
tiue Association, was held in the Toxteth- hall, Mill-street.
to adopt an address to her most gracious Majesty the
Queen, on the subject of the late Popish aggression. The
Rev. Dr. M'Neile presided. and on the platform were
Mr. T. Wagstaff, (T.O ), Mr. Jospeh Harrison, Mr. W.
Wagstaff, J. Easton, W. Rigby, J. Troughton, Rev. C.
A. Graham, S. Griffith, Thomas Huntington, Edward
Cropper, John Grantham, T. T. Glazebrook, John Fenton,
Matthew Gregson, Samuel Holme, J. Robertson, C.
Batten, Rev. Mr. Brewster, W. J. Horsfall, W. Fisher,
(T.C.), Rev. Dr. Hampton, &c.
The admission was by ticket, (purchased,) yet the room
was crowded to excess nearly an hour before the time as-

signed for the chairman to o
the audience were a sprinkling of ladies, whose strong
feelings on the question of the threatened aggression
overcame their fears of any possible interruption that
might be made by the partisans of the unconstitutional

attempt. The very best precautions, however, were taken
to provide against any unpleasant occurrence of this kind,
a great number of the parties present being special con-
stables, all of whom were provided with formidable staves
to protect the lives of the peaceful citizens assemb!ed, if
need were.

Outside the room there were many hundreds of persons
desirous of being present at the proceedings, but who
were unable to obtain admission. The whole length of

the street was crowded.
At half-past six precisely, the Rev. Dr. 11.1`Neile and a
large number of influential friends to the cause entered

the room and were received with most enthusiastic cheer-
ing and " Kentish firing."
On taking the chair, the Rev. DOCTOR said—What 1
must say first is, that it is a great mark of strength to be
able to stand still. If yon see a weak man you know him
by his tottering and
,unsteadiness. A strong man can

keep quiet. (Hear, hear.) It we are able to show our
strength, we should be able so to conduct ourselves as
to keep quiet. (Hear.) I hope you will remember this,
and put a little restraint on your feelings. Now, I am
going to ask one of my reverend friends to supplicate a
blessing upon our proceedings from Him who presides
over the elements—even when most stormy—HE who
stills the razinE of the sea, and the tumult of the

and if we are to turn the feeling of our pcople into a per-
manent blessing, we must wait for His blessing in the
appointed way : we must seek for it at the foot of the
c o3s, where JO MS Christ has purchased it by his blood,
or all our efforts will bo in vain. (Hear.) Now, my
friends, stay your feelings whilst this blessing is invoked,
and act as though you were in the House of God. (Bear.)
The Rev. W. BREAVSTER then offered up a suitable

prayer, after which
The CHAIRMAN spoke nearly as follows :—My
Christian Friends and Brother Operatives,—We may con-
gratulate ourselves on the circumstances in which our
present meeting is held. Our perseverance in a good
cause is vindicated. We did persevere under evil report,
while Protestantism was at a discount—(hear, hear)—and
while those who told plainly what Romanism really is,
and can never cease to be, were looked upon as ignorant
and prejudiced bigots. Our course was neither ignorant
nor higotted. (Hear, hear.) We said then, what our
ti.awly-awakened allies in this cause say now, that Popery
is aggressive and intolerant—aggressive to the point of
universal domination, and intolerant to the rejection and
persecution of all who presume to differ from her dogmas
or question her authority. (Loud cheers.) I might
prove this by reference to speeches delivered in this hall,
which have turned out all but prophetic. 'What we said
then was not believed. Even gentlemen from whom
better things might have been expected turned away with
distaste from our persevering recurrence to this snbject
They thought it unnecessary, to say the least

Some of

them thought it injudicious, un'tvise, and even injurious
tending to keep alive unkind and uneharinble feelings
. .

In vain we distinguished between the system and th

hear.) Our friends were indisposed, and withdrew
their countenance and support. Still we persevered, and
mainly for this reason—we bad taken the trouble to make
ourselves acquainted with what Romanism is, and were
not to be deceived by plausible pretences. {Applause.)
We knew what the disclaimers of Popish priests and
bishops were worth, when their object was to deceive Pro-
testants and thereby to gain power. We knew that to
deny, and on oath if required before heretics, what they
had solemnly sworn among themselves to maintain, it part
and parcel of their system. Weill our course, as I have

said, is vindicated. The premature sincerity of tbe rope
and his advisers, has proved that our estimate of the sys-
tem was correct. And lam thankful to be able to add,
T tin nnw frankly

deserving their approbation and co-operation. (Loud and
confirmed cheers.) We will: not, by word or deed, or
look, reproach them for the past. provided they stand fast
by us for the future (applause); and as they have had ex-
perience of our sagacity in this question, they ought in all
fairness to give weight to our counsel. I take the liberty
therefore to say to them, and to all others whom it may
concern, that in this contest half measures are desk uctive.
Popery knows nothing of half measures, except as a tem-
porary ambuscade. Her motto is, en! Ccesar ant nullus
—Cze,:ar or nobody. (Cheer

She cannot rest, except

either in such a state of prostration as renders it in
for her even to struggle, or in such a state of p

Imy

_
premacy as leaves her nothing to struggle for. The pride
of her heart arrogates a divine right to the world, and
equality with anything human is treason against her
lordly claim. (Hear.) Be assured the question now to
be settled by the country is not between equality or domi-
nation, but between domination and dominatiln. (Cheers.)
It is not shall we be equal in our liberties and privileges,
and how may we continue so; but it is who shall lie
uppermost (applause), who shall govern England ! (Hear,
'hear.) Now, though Englishmen have a great and laud-
able desire to share their privileges with all who will be

quietly content with a share, they have no suicidal fancy
for giving up all to those who will never be content with
less. (Cheers.) Nay, unless they are tools, when those
whom they bad made welcome to a share, attempt to rob

them ofaU, they will resolutely drive them away e
