| Mr. DEAR SIn-Ihe kind manner lii Which yol
have transmitted to me the vote of" the friends
1T civil and religious liberty in Belfast" demand
ny sincere thanks. am truly proud of tina
'ole 1t is a rich reward infinitely beyond tn
| 'tlue OF my poor eXertions in the sacred cause O
liberty and conscience.
| have ever sought for catholic emancipatio,
on principle, and as a matter ofright. That prin
IciPle, if established, would be equally useful t.
the protestant an France and Italy, as to the ca
tholc in Ireland. 1t is principle which wouI,
ave conscience free 'and unshLckled in ever
lcountry-and without which real liberty cannot
IN my opinion exist in any country
AS a catholic, was bound not only by the ore
nune Precepts of my religion, but by the gene
Irous example of other catholics, to be the oGrs,
IN my humble sphere, to disclaim and oppose tn
persecution of protestants.
The state, which first, after the reformation es
ltablished perfect freedom of conscience. was
roman Catholic state-that of Maryland in Amer,
ca The only governments in modern DAYS, whicI
mas granted total & unqualified emancipation to
gelgion different from its own, is the Roma
Catholic government of Hungary-in which tn
lprotestants have been, in our own times, full
omancipated.
Let us hope that the day is not distant, whe
these noble examples ofjustice and true religio
VIII be not only admired, but initiated by chris
tians OF every denomination Let us hope tina
man shall be allowed at length 10 worship hi
Icreator, according to the dictates of his cohsc
ence: without the impious interference of pena
laws-that bigotry and persecution may be bar
lshed rom amongst nations Boosting of christ
anty and civilization.
lhaye the honor to be, my dear sir.
Very faithfully. your obliged servant
