DisraeH on the AnsIo-Papal Conspiracy.


In the House OF Commons on the 3oth OF April, Mr..
Disrae In concluding a BRIEF speech In opposition
to the adoption OF the first OF the Gladstone re-
solutions on the Irish Church, said-Sir would
willingly have sat down this moment only that would
be dscOurteOus to an honorable gentleman who
spoke early In this nights debate and spoke, too at
some length. refer 10 tie honorable baronet, the
agreeable and clever speech, which l may describe
as an amable inyective against myself IA laughl
offered some very severe but courteous comments on
ought perhaps to answer. But there was one which
am particularly deslrous or noticing, because 1t
founded on what think he will ind am correct In
characterizing as misconception on his part, and
on that OF his friends. The honorable and learned
gentleman seemed to be offended because described
some honorable gentlemen In this House as "i,oman-
ists'-1"hear, hear' from Sir q. OL0ghen)-and an
honorable gentleman who spoke last night said that
had given him nickname because l had called
him Romanist. certainly had no intention In using
that word to say anything tna should be In the least
degree offensive; and rather think that the honor
able baronet, who has great literary requirements
and powers Of literary research. will find that he Is
under q mistake. l myself have read most Of the
great writer's IN UsdOnO ce1tarne tu7i,tsQte eccesig

''Romanist" first introduced. II was introduced

ashamed were OF that religion to the correlatve
word ROmanlst. Therefore can assure the honorable
baronet that no offence was meant I won't refer
at any length TO the observations he has made upon
a statement with which closed my remarks before
Easter made those remarks advisedly; mean no
ofYence to any one present. but IL Ii my belief that

word conspiracy, but won't tight about words
with those described as ROmanists, without mean

that thew In open confederacy leave the House
to Judge Of II for Itself from the late divsion and
when the right honorable gentleman comes forward
with new policy proposing rightly or wrongly ne.
volut0n In the country the discovering OF tne Cnurcn
from the State, and boasts Of the majority with
which he can carry IL into eject, the HOUSE must
fudge whether under the circumstances II was unfair

I described.
