Martinsburgh gazette. [volume] (Martinsburgh, Va. [W. Va.]) 1810-1825, 1824-07-22


The Editors observes:--
"We have no doubt, that IL viii be
most numerously attended by gentlemen
Of every political party in town, the OBJ
ject of the meeting being one in which
they may all zealously cooperate. A
series of resolutions, declaratory of the
> entiments of the merchants and inha-
nitants of this great commercial commu-
nifty, will, of course be moved--and,
upon these, petition to his Majesty's
government, praying them to advise his
Majesty to recognize the new states OF
America, will be founded. Both the
resolutions and the petition will, we have
no doubt, meet with the appreciation of
all classes of the community. Liverpool
having taken the lead, as becomes her
commercial rank and importance, other
places, deeply interested in tire question,
will follow her example,
In fact, from the vast amount Of loans,
the capital already embarked in com.
meroe to the new states, and the extern
sive prospect of future trade which the
adoption of the measure presents, the
British ministers would be crimiaalsy
Indifferent to the best interests Of their
nation, were they to postpone, even for
another month, the full recognition Of
South America and Mexico as free and
independent The cause Of humanity,
the trade Of the world, and the benefits
to be thus conferred on mankind require
that the sound policy of the U. States
should be embraced by all ma ions, whilst
it would only be tribute Of common
justice to those who for ! 3 years have 50
heroically fought for their rights and liz
berries.
| IRELAND.
The Catholics Of Ireland begin to rise
, in their demands on the British Parlia-
rnent, and this is but the natural conse-
auence Of the total disregard OF the just
claims, which year after year, they have
made on the Legislature Speaking of
recent correspondence between the
Catholic Association in Dublin, and
Earl Grey and Mr.. BRoUcHAN, the
Editor of the London Courier says
ut appears that il the Petithen which
has been this year prepared for Parlia-
ment, such an extension is given to the
demands Of the Catholics, that neither
Earl GREY nor Mr.. BRoUcHAM can sup
port those demands. MIR. Brougham,
indeed seems 10 consider his encroach-
ment rs among ''the nutral consequent
eesn Of the treatment which the cathO-
lies have experl enced for so many years.
Both the Noble Earl and The Honorable
and Learned Member, however, ex-
press their willingness TO present the
Petition, such as it is, with the UNDER
standing that they will accompany it
with declaration of their nom concur
renee with certain parts oft. TO this
the Catholic Association assentsd by a
unanimous vote.
That our readers may understand
how what are called the Catholic Claims
are widening themselves so as to ein-
brace various new ones OF political
and religious character, we shah here
give summary ofwnat is prayed for
IN this forth coming Petition.
"rhe first praye r OF the Petition is for
a reformation in the temporalties Of the
Church Establishment OF Ireland.
THE second prayer of the Petition is
for the better regulation of Juries.
"The third prayer Of the Petition Il
Cor the disiranchisement of Corpora
tons
"The fourth prayer Of the Petition is
for the removal Of the disqualifcations
to which Catholics are now subject"
