course Of the ensuing year, the Catholic
question should press more hardly upon the
ministers who proposed and carried il through
Parliament, than has heen the case at any
time since the act ia their favor was passed.
The party opposed to that measure In the
kingdom, has avs been strong and power
ful, In numbers, wealth, and character. Mr..
O'COnnell has suggested, since his election to
Parliament, the rxpcdiency of taking pre-
paraiOry steps for the repeal Of the Union.
II he should be ndisCreet enough 10 stir this
subject IN earnest, we have 10 doubt 1t
will excite strong feelings in England; as it
was understood ut the time the subject of
emancipation was in agitation that the CathO-
lies would generally be contented if that
measure was carried. IF it should prove
otherwise, and new demands are made so
suddenly upon the former, it will probably
produce serious alarm, and by verifying the
predictions Of the oppOsers Of the Catholic
bill, strengthen the party.
Alderman Crowdpr has been elected Lord
Mayor of London for the ensuing year.
