Catholic Emancipation . —Speech of Dr . J t ' l Dttyman at the County of Antrim Ca-/ / tKotic Meeting * Belfast , Oct . 28 . c Mr , Chairman—I know not what interpretation others may give to the late ambiguous conduct of the House of Cowwobs ^ but , for my part , I should wish to interpret it in this way . It is the will and the wish of that
Hod . House , that the Catholics of Ireland * aad the Protestants of Ireland should assemble together once in every year , for ., the . pui poses of promotvng public . peace and national concord ^ not to commemorate hatred and hostility ; not to commemorate , in a
Spirit of selfish exclusion , civil war , and battles , and shedding of brother ' s blood j but an association of amity «> nd good neighbourhood , prospective of ^ political liberty ; not looking back & *? . < the . disastrous periods of history , ha ta cities sacked and towns in

prejudice and calumny , and yet reaaj to pour forth their blood in defence of those who despitefully use them c this , certainly , is a sublitise spectacle * and may even merit the approbation of the Divinity whom we , Christians ^ in common adore .
In obedience , then , to the sense of the legislature , as 1 would understand it , I feel myself grateful for this fresh opportunity of affixing , as it were , * * new seal to our family compact , this renewed occasion of calling into exercise the best und most generous feel- *
