tics in Irel 47 td is gaining grbuncj , '\ zpu $ , a sprrrt of matual ' t ^ Te ^ i'dpn ^^ jta ^ ipW' ^ s . session of trie miods of both Catholics arid Protestants . Both parties if they look to past times , will see enough to blanie in the conduct of tljeir ancestors , who have deviated very widely frpm the principles of the Christian religion , wTiich they pretended to profess , iut
let not any one ascribe to the Christian religion the massacres , the burnings , the h ^ if-hangings , the whippings , the tortures , that have taken place in Ireland ; taa religion , which holds in the utmost horror such proceedings , whether patronised by Catholics or Protestants . I tig time for both parties , whose religion in
fact is so very nearly the same , ancjl is founded upon the saiaae creeds , repeated very frequently in their places of worship , to forget the wrongs done to each other , and to embrace as brethren ; to make allowances for each other ' s igno * ranees , and to be persuade ^* that by warring against each other they will never come nearer to the truth .
Many feel the necessity of this union * At the meetings of the Gathofics , which have taken place in most parts of I re ^ land , Protestants have been present ^ and delegates have been elected with great unanimity and cordiality . The day" of
meeting of the general body was looked , forward to with great anxiety- We arc happy in saying , that it has passed over without any tumult , without any seizure of persons or violation of die rierht of petitioning on the part of Government * or
any conduct that might be construed into impropriety on the part of the pcti * tioners . We will not studiously enquire into the means by which this was so ingeniously managed ; content that the
fact is so , and the question to be tried in . the courts of law on the seizure of persons for attending the districtvmectings is free from any perplexity which might have arisen from the events of the general meeting . . .
la pursuance of the original plan , the Delegates " of the Catholics met in Dublin m a theatre , which was filled by them and their , irienfa , } JSarl Fdngcd was called to the cnair , and they
proceeded iimuediatcJy to business ^ which , consmeel sin > piy , ir ^ the , proposal and adopting of a firm of pet ^ Uo tt to Parliament :, on wj ^ iqh all L di » ci »» &io > a ^ jftnd ^ lterrrat ions were adjoivrncd to a > fof | p « ght bo ^ fore the meeting of the l ^ tt ^ c AtKiy * Am
