The Sun. — 1828-08-19 (London, England)

JOHN C. BERESFORD roe and spoke as lb!Qws feel great pleasure in stating, that the sentiments of the Corporation of Dublin are con genial with those felt by the 'Prentice boys of Derry. .—(Cheers.)—lt is out of my nature to hurt the feelings of any individual. In my mind, if the Roman Catholics were worthy to be trusted they should enjoy everything; but I say they are not worthy to be trusted, anti therefore I exclude them.--.(Cheers.) I deplore as much as any man scenes of anarchy and blood, but the sooner the matter is settled the better. It might have been settled some time since with the shedding of a little blood—now I fear the effusion of torrents will be necessary to restore tranquillity to the conntry. If I ask those around me whether they wilt fight the monster or fly from it, I arouse an echo which responds the well-known cry of " No surrender !"—(Loud cheers.) If I ask the Corporation of Dublin will they fight or fly, they will tell me  that they have made too many caerifices in the cause of loyalty already to desert the Constitution at its utmost need, and they toolvill exclaim " No surrender !" Sir, you have been told' that this country is now under the government of a poWer not recognised by the law, bUtzivhose -fault isleijSir, if this monster has been permitted to attain strength, and power, and vigour ? Sir, I say the Government of the country is to blame. I was wrong—lreland had no Government. ,We have witnessed \within a short period six or seven changes in the Administration in England. In all these changes settled principles were laid down for the maintenance of our foreign relation—for the government of England, Scotland and Wales; but no matter whether Tory or Whig came into power, it was a settled point that Ireland should be left out of consideration. I say, all Ireland was betrayed by excluding it from the counsels of the King's Ministers.—(Loud and continued cheers.) That, Sir, is the cause why this monster, so ably described by the Member for the County, but upon which it appears he has so lately opened his eyes, has been permitted to arrive at its present maturity.—(Cheers.) The next toast was— ._  " The health of Mr. Barre Beresford, and the • Protestant electors of the county of Londonderry:' —(Loud cheers.) • Mr. BARRE BERFSFORD rose to return thanks. I say, gentlemen, that the Irish Government has truckled to the Catholic Association.--(Loud cheers.)--go far is the tax now levied upon the people from being a voluntary contribution as described by my Honourable Friend (Mr. Dawson) that it is extorted from them by force; and I have it from the mouths of the- people themselves, that that they have been compelled to pay the rent, whilst the bludgeons of three or four ruffians were flourishing over their heads. Many of my own tenantry have been ordered out of the Chapel for not paying it; and a few days since,-a poor woman in this neighbourhood was refused the rights of her Church by a Priest, for a crime which I was not aware merited such severe chastisement. I asked, upon being informed of the circumstance, is the woman a thief or a murderer and the reply was, that she was refused the rights of her Church because she allowed her children to be sent to a school where the Bible was read. What is wanted in this country is a repetition of such exhibitions as we have witnessed this day.--(Loud cheers.)—The Government has deserted us, and if any Protestant but open his lips by way of remonstrance, he is set down as wild enthusiast.--(Cheers.) After several other toasts were drank, the Meeting separated, it being then two o'clock in the morning.
