IRELAND.-The following is copy of the
Circular Letter of the Cstholck Committee:
SRI am directed by the General Com
mittee of the Catholicks of Ireland 10 solicit
your particular attention on the present occa
sion.
The committee being entrusted with the
Petition OF the Catholick body, feel it in
cumbent on them tn state to you their conviction
OF the imperitive necessity of an increase of
their numbers, so that there may be managers
of the Petition connected with every part ofire
land 1t is highly desirable that the committee
should beeome the depository of the collective
wisdom Of the Cathoick body & that it should
be able to ascertain, IN order TO obey, the
wishes, & clearly understand the wants, of all
their Cathohck fellow subjects.--This is the
more requisite at the present moment, when
there appears 10 be SO near prospect of
complete emancipation and the committee are
convinced that their emancipation can now be
retarded only by criminal apathy or neglect, a.
mongst the Cathoiicks themselves.
They beg leave to suggest to you the pro
prety OF appointing ten managers of the Petition
III your county. There are now three survivors
1898 These persons already constituent
members OF the committee, and, such mana
gers OF The Petition Sd that you have to APP
point only seven additional managers.
The committee desire TO add, that by the
law, as it now stands, species of delegation
or representation can be suffered to take place
nor can any person, without a gross violation Of
the law, be representative or delegate. or act
under any name AS representative or delegate
Engaged, as we are, in struggle for legal and
constitutional rights, it is our duty, as we'll as
our Inclination and decided determination, not
60 violate The spirit, nor even the letter of the
law, is, at the same time, TO be observed,
that the law % which we alIude does not in
teriere with the subjects undoubted right TO
petition Parliament-nor, of course, with the on
ly method by which so large body as the Ca
ttolicks OF Ireland could concur in forwarding
fettion' namely, by leaving the management of
1t IN the hands OF few persons Who deserve &
possess their confideuce
And the commirtee cannot refrain, on this
OCCASION, from calling to your rccoiiectlon the
words OF that celebrated champion ofIoyal,y and
rehg'on, Edmund Burke, relative to the Irish Ca
,hohoks- four enemies are embodied ; what
becomes ut you, 1T you are ony nd ydu4is,'
The committee does no, presume to inter
iere with the mode IN which you shall think fit
t. nominate those managers Of he Petition save
that IL must not be any election or appoint ment
to represent any person persons, or any dis.
trict or place whatsoever. They moreover beg
leave to suggest the propriety of expedition {.
request that you will have the goodness to re
ply ;ethIs letter, and to state your sentiments ON
tins subject ; adding, if il shall 50 please tou,
the names of seven persons whom you con-
ceive most hit 10 manage the Petition in yo,r
county, q
8 In appointing those managers, the commit.
tee respectfully solicit your particular attention
to the many advantages To be derived from nam |
w
sure permits, their permanent or occ ssonal re-
sidence in Dublin, where the ultimate arrange |
ments, as 10 the Petition, can best be- m ade -
have further 10 observe you, that all the No |
Bile Lords WHO constitute the Ca,hock Pee |
rage, are already managers of the Petition"
