"On the contrary , I feel myself cheered and conciliated by those lndi cations , which inspire the strong hope that t } ie end of our affliction is rapidly advancing , and that we shall soon be placed in a condition where we shall cease to he a reproach to the justice and wisdom , of Great Britain .
"The calumnies of our enemies have been refuted , and have left no impression behind them except a generous regret that they could ever have been believed .
•« It is with no ordinary feeling of congratulation and respect that we should hail the awaking of a nation , formed to be illustrious , from the trance of a bigotry that cannot be refuted , because it
does not reason ; that , like every other Intoxication , stupefies while it inflames , and evaporates only by sleep- It becomes us to congratulate on the recovery , wjtlxout retrospect to t ^ e time it may have cost .
" Within the short limits even of a jear ^ the spirit of ra just and Jiberal . policy ha ^ assumed a station that scarcely € ou ) dbe hoped from the growth of ages . c . . £ hat ; . . wise country has learned to see u $ as wf are , to compare our suffer f ii |§ s with ibat of our merits and our cj&jras . and to feel that every kind ana
tejulersympathy that speaks to the heart qx' tVefeeadof a man , in favour of his fellow man , is calling upon her to put an ^ fld to the paroxysms of that gao l ffyer ^ . Which must for ever ferment and fe ^ cr in . the imprisonm en t of a nation , and to do it in a way that shall attach , wJ ^ iie it jied reusesj and bind a blended empire In . the bond of equal interest and re ^ prbcal affection .

We ask only tor what is perfectly in its power to J ^ estQWj that deobstruent which may erxabje the human creature , even by a slow , convalescence , to exert the powers of his nature , and give effect , by the progression of his happiness and virtue , to the beneficence of that Being who

that has passed 8 jfft ¥ Ifcouj ^ . ^ V liHyC adverted to that subjectw ^ tfeuTfeeWgs of shame and anguish ; but you , now see at the Bar persons at year own reli gious persuasion , of those great talents for whose purity you are so justly
auspicious . \ y * .: : . , ' cC You are certainly right in thinking tbe independency of the bar the onlyunfailing safeguard of nations , and of that liberty without which justice it but a name- - •* It is the equal protection ot ihe people against the State , and of the State against the people . If Erskine had lived in the dark times of the second Janie& tic
would have saved his countrj ^ fratntae pain of reading the events of those day * , when the Court could procurei asbendy , but the subject could not iind av .-fiafe , « It is with an emotion , difficult to
descaribe , that I see how easily lour hearts are betrayed into ah exaggerated estimation of those we are disposed to love . You are pleased to beepeak the coatitiuance of my poor efforts ia the cause of Ireland . I cannot without
regret reflect how feeble they 7 would be ; but I am fully consoled in the ide > , that they would be as unnecessary as inefficient .
