The 13111 has arrived, or rather the Bills have arrireir.
on which MO much expectation hang for the last month.
In our last we hazarded um opinion of the real cha-
racter and tendency of this new esuancipation meamn
of Us. Plittakett ; and in all we said on that iarasioa,s.
are more than fun"- borne out by the appearance of the
Bills a Lich that 44emiratee has brought into Parliament.
Mr. Plunkett has thonght proper to introduce a plan
st
Emancipation into the Imperial Parliament, to which
!title loll:sired and ninety-nine oat of a thousaml of the
Catholics are determinedly hostile ; wed this be is
pleased to call a healing nseasorre of coneiliation. 31r.
Plunkett has. in the front of the almost unanimous opi-
nion sit Ilse Irish Catholics, reconmsendleil to the le;:i4-
!attire a plait of Emancipation which is only calculated
to matte slaves of the l'atholie laity, will eorrept
tell,/ agents of the Catholic Clergy. To enable the
Catholic Veto-Barrister to rise in his profession, or lit
obtain a sent its Parliament, Ire ea% upon the Catholic
Bishops of Ireland to acknowledge, that they and their
predecessors have been perjured—that though they took
the oathosif allegiance, and alijimd all the horrid itnpn-
tations against their characters, as men of religion or
moranty, their oaths were not tohe believed—coofttlence
was not to be reposed in them, and further securities weer
necessary to guard and prutret the state ogals4
their wicked and traitorons principles. Bet errn this
miserable acknowledgement of their infamy is sal
enough to soothe the demon of political and ri-hOO4l
fanaticism. Boards of Confront ere 111 he appointed.
