A T a MEETING of the GENTRY, CLERGY, FREE-

ERN DIVISION of the County of LANCASTER, held oni
the 23d day of April, 1835, at Newton,
J. RIDGWAY, Esq.,. i
The following PETITION§ to Houses of Parliament.
were unanimously_ greed to s--s
To the Right Honourable the Lords Spiritual and Temporal in
Parliament assembled,
The humble Petition of the undersigned Gentry, Clergy, Free-
holders, and other Inhabitants of the Southern Division of
the County of Lancaster
Sheweth,—That your Petitioners, being flanly attached to
the Constitution of these Realms in Church and State; and
duly sensible how far their individual prosperity depends - upon
the tranquillity and well-being of the Country at large, have
watched with feelings of disgust and alarm the reiterated and
hitherto successful attempts of - factious and disloyal persons to
interrupt the payment of Tithes and other lawful dues to: the
Established Church of England ,and Ireland throughout the
,latter Kingdom; and especially to accomplish by legislative
enactment the diversion of the property of the Church to pur-
poses other than ecclesiastical. -
Feeling moreover that the Established Church, in addition
to the innumerable blessings which it affords to those within its
pale. furnishes at once support -and protection to other profess-
ing Christian Communities in the general spread of religion,
your Petitiouers earnestly desire the eateusion of its influence
in the Sister Kingdom, 'They look therefore withanxiety and
sorrow upon the great and undeserved sufferings of their perse
cuted brethren the Protestants of Ireland. arid they implore your
right honourable House not to add to the distresses of a body
so loyal, so industrious, and in every way so ,meritorious,. by
appropriating to a purpoSe of questionable utility. a presumed
surplus of the Revenues of the Church, to be obtained only be
narrowing the circle of its operations and diminishing ttio
number of its Ministers:
Reflecting likewise with ad:oiration and gratitude upon the
large bequests which have been made from time to time by pious
and benevolent persons, for religious and charitable tiiiipoies,
your Petitioners would respectfully press upon your Right Ho-
nourable lieuse the policy as well as justice of adhering strictly
to the laws affecting the rights of property; feariug, as they do,
-lest any breach of [lust on the part of the. Legislelture should
choke up for the future such sources of benefit to the column-
nity.
Above all, being well assured that these attempts to persuade
your honourable House to thwart the growth ot the Church in
Ireland, and to trample upon the feelings of its members, are
not only the prelude to an attack upon the whole of the Church
Establishment, but also an attempt to sever the Legislative
Union between the two countries, your Petitioners entreat
that the authority of Parliameut may be exerted " to maintain
.the Established Church in Ireland in possession of its pro-
perty," thalthe vit Went attacks of its enemies may be repressed;
and that, on the other hand, your right honourable House,
with that.exalted firmness that has always distinguished your
councils, will duly provide that those who minister at the altar
may continue to live by the altar,,and that the Church of our
Fathers, which has hitherto, by (;ad's blessing, rendered this
nation conspicuous throughout the. world for the practice of
piety and virtue, may be preserved inviolate and unprofaned to
our children:

And your PetitiOners will ever pray, &c.

To, the Honourable the Commons of Great Britain and Ire-
land in Parliament assembled, • . .
The humble Petition of the undersigned .Gentry, Clergy, Free-
holders, and other Inhabitants of the Southern Division of
the County of Laneaster,
SHEWETH,
That your Petitioners most anxiously intreat. your Hon,
House in behalf of the Established Church of England and
Ireland, and more especially of that part of it situate in the
latter country,
That von will be pleased to maintain:and perpetuate it in all
its sacred and ancient privilege's as a vital portion of the con-
stitution of these realms, as well ;as of the solemn compact
whereby the union of the two islands has been cemented in
bonds not more indissoluble than the incorporate existeuce of
that Church in connexion with the State. :
That your Petitioners have remarked with feelings, of indigs
nation and alarm the virulent and . malignant,. persecution
whereby the Church has beensassailed).more particularly ,in.
Ireland, and its Ministers reviled, insulted, lobbed, and even
murdered; and they have observed with admiration and coup
passion the Christian tottilude
.which these ministers have
exhibited in enduring their wrongs, witnessing the piivatiuns
and distresses of, their bereaved families, "taking joyfully the
spoiling of their goods," rather than betraying the holy and
importaut trust committed to theirseare,. or their food and
' faithful allegiance to the treaty with Great Britain. .
That so far from recognizing inibis their enduring submits.
sion a plea for their exposure to farther spoliation and oppres-
sion, or for the withdrawal of the protecting ;alliance of the
state,. your petitioners conceive that every feeling of bottom., of
interest, of commiseration, of justice, and of sound policy
de-
mands that they should be relieved, eucouraged, defended, and
taken to the closer embrace of that constitution towards which
they have evinced so devoted, so affectionate, and so disinte-
rested a fidelity.
That your l'etitiouers know not whether to regard with
more of pity and regret, or of contempt and abhorrence, the
argument drawn from the sufferings and impoverished circum-
stances of the early Church under Pagan persecutors, for a
similar treatment and irnpoverishinent under a professed Chris-
tian community; and.they implore your Hon. House to mark
with the most intense expression of your disapprobation a priii
elide which entirely forgets the sacred, text, and braves the
scriptural clsnuticiatiou—". it must needs be that offences come,
but woe unto that man by whom the offence cometb."
That it is the respectfully urged, but the most strongly
entertained conviction of your Petitioners, that the State may
never expect internal peace and general prosperity through
the blessing of God upon its condition, if the baneful fomenters
of Irish agitation, the mercenary and merciless bloodsuckers
of a poverty-stricken people, are permitted to influence or
intimidate the councils of the realm; and they cannot even
express, in terms consonant with the usages of your Hun.
House, the feelings of disgust and shame with which their
hearts revolt from the possible contingency of the stipulations
of any Government with men, to promote whose views and
objects, or to hold state counsel with whom, appears to them
no less than high treason against all that is valuable in morals,
virtuous in legislation, or even commonly respectable in natural
character..

That to give any the slightest, countenance to such persons
may ever, be far from professing Christian men, and British
Senators, and farthest of all from your Hon, house in its
collgctiveNapacity, is our heartfelt desire.
And your Petitioners µ•ill ever pray, &c,
