best of mothers. Evincing that frmness
and that decision of character so neces-
sary and indispensable in those destined
TO govern or to rule. 1t was this evil
dence OF her infexible integrity that
alarmed the court pirates of King
Edward, they saw that if she succeeded
to the throne according TO the provisions
of her fathers will, there would be an
end to their own schemes Of plumber
and they therefore, determined by every
means in their power, to defraud her of
her rights, and to prevent, if possible,
her coronation. In the first place, they
raised lady Jane Grey, to the throne,
contrary to every principle eff right and
justice, but justice viii revolt against
fraud, the patriotism of the English peo-
pie, triumphed over party schemes, and
Mary was joyfully proclaimed queen in
ten days after her brother Edwards
death.
Partizan writers and religious fanatics
have Charged her with very serious
crimes; they say that she was bigoted,
cruel and blood thirsty, that she sacri-
feed all w b o differed with her
in matters of religion, and l presume,
there are gentlemen here this evening,
who are ready to repeat those SANDERS,
but sir, they are unworthy Of particle
Of credit.
Where snail we find an example Of so
much goodness as to let a rival in en-
pire live, who had been proclaimed
queen and acted as such, by which she
had forfeited her life. Mary did not
put the lady Jane to death, until the fol-
ly and ingratitude Of the Duke of Suf-
folk, by rising in arms a second time
made the life Of his daughter and the
safety Of queen Maryincompatible;even
then Mary wished to save her if reasons
of state, had not rendered mercy imprac-
ticable. The necessity of her execution
was advanced by the instruction of
Wyot, who, at the same time was in
arms against the queen 1--WE must not
charge her with the death of those who
committed treason, and all the burnings
and hangings were for political often
ces, and she was pious good woman
and restored to the church and to indi-
viduals the property Of which they were
robed by the relormerS.
Mr.. Hugh McDermott spoke in the
negative as follows:
The subject Of this evenings discuss

would gladly refrain from string up the
old sinh of bigotry which the anglo-sax-
on of that day, both Protestant and
Catholic have collected with blind mis-
taken zeal the mantle of Charity should
be thrown over that bloody page ofEn-
glands history, and the waters of Lethe
blot them from our remembrance forev-
er were it possible to obtain draft from
that tabled fountain. Becauseit is pain
liIl to the mind to contemplate "man's
to man" orhow anyof Gods
creatures should be so demented by re-
-igious phrenzy, as to put his fellow
man to the most eXcruciating torments
for his religious convictions. And yet
history informs us that Catholics burned
ProtcstantS, and Protsstants Catholics;
this is fact that no candid historian
will deny, Cobbett the catholic appolo-
gist, does not dare to deny this fact, but
ustfies Mary on the ground that for ev-
cry one Mary put to death, Elizabeth
destroyed one hundred. l ask any can
lid mind does this kind of argument
Justify queen Mary surely not, two
wrongs can never make one right, and
Mary laid down the policy which af-
erwards governed the virgin Queen
Turing her reign. O'Connell the great
catholic statesman never denied this his
ORIG fact, when tainted with the reign
If bloody Mary, and the fires of Smith

1t is true that some Of the executions
n Mary's reign were for political efien-
