July l6.-The Dublin papers of Thursday, give
On account of the plan of the New Catholic Asso-
citation, which TO be formed under the advice OF
a committee composed of some oftle leading MEM
bers of the Catholic body. The Catholics disclam
the intention of doing any thing which can, with
any degree of fairness, be supposed an infringement
of the law and they therefore propose that the new
Association shall confine itself objects which
are either specially virtually legszed in the late
act viz the contraction of chapes, the diffusion OF
education and the promotion OF Irish agrcuiture the
encouragement of the consumption of Irish maDufac-
lures and the extension Of Irish commences; the
fuation of charges made against the Catholics, and
the promotion Of mutual federation and kindness
through The press. To the general and somewhat
heterogeneous objects which we have stated, the
Association is to add temporary one, viz to ascer
tain the population OF the several religions in Ire
land, and particularly the number Of youths in each
persuasion in course Of education.
The Committee, after recommending the forma-
ton of an Association for the objects which have
nothing to do directly with grievances in Church
State, recommend the holding OF separate and I'M
connected meetings in the several counties OF Ire
land, for the discussion OF matters 10y which the,
may be aggrieved; and they observe, that these
meetings may be held in succession. and iiat each
OF them may occupy fourteen days according 10
Iaw-so that the meetings of all the counties OF Ire
land ms sOmefbiug IN than n and
may subject the government again to that continued
fire of speeches which, in its wisdom, il thought FIT
10 be particularly alarmed at Ii is evident that all
these plans perfectly legal; that all these pur
p ses may be pursued without any organization and
Connection; nor can the Catholics be prev ented from
re>orting to some such schemes without reducing
them 10 absolute slavery. GLOBE.
