At the meeting of the Catholic Association in Dublin. es
Saturday last, Mr. O'Gorman is stated to have observed
that "it was not for rights and privileges tbeCatbolics had
sow to centred ; it was their ditty to unite for self-pro.
serration. He urged this as a precautionary measure.—

course, been mired and distorted by their enemies ; and

we received yesterday morning from Dublin, it invoked
against the Catholic Associadoc—ln what will these
things sad ?

DUBLIN CATHOLIC ASSOCIATION.—Jusra 12.
'lli Association assembled, and was most numerously
aid tespectably attended. After the Chair was taken, Mr.
0 German took occasion to rectify an error which had crept
into the report of his speech given in a Morning Paper.—
Several Gentlemee present corroborated Mr. O'Gorman's
statement. Sir John Burke, of Marble-hill, in a speeeh.of
some length, advocated the necessity of annual Petition.-1
Some allusion having been made to the Lord Chancellor, Sir
John panagerieed his prints character as that of a polished
gentleman. Mr. O'Connell did not allude to the private cha-
reefer of Lord Manners, nor eves to his judiclateharacter—
be spoke of him as a politicise merely. Mr. Blaell theta read
a draft of the Petition which be bad prepared. It is an
eloquent aid able prodoctioe. It was finally referred to a
Committee.—(Deblie Evening Post of Thursday.)
A very numerous and highly respectable Meeting of
the Association was held this day.
Mr. O'Corstssta., in a very laboured and learned
speech, moved that the Association should appoint a
Committee to draw up a Petition to the Legislature, touch-
ing the hardships en lured by the Irish Catholic. in the
levy and apportioutment of Church Rates. The Motion
having been seconded, it was carried viva voce, and a
Committee appointed.
Mr. Stmt then read the corrected draft of his petition
—which was very warmly applauded, and carried, with
an understanding that it should be recommitted, with a
view of reconsidering some of the phrases.
Mr.O'CoNselL then moved that Catholic Clergymen
should be eligibleas Members without payment.
The Motion was warmly supported by Mr. COOTGLLO
and Mr. LANIGAN ; and resisted, with great ingenuity,
by Mr. SCANLAN and Mr. SIIIEL.
The discussion was going on when our Reporter left
the Room.—(Deolie Evening Post of Saturday.)
