Description of a great Character . — " I speak of &ome 9 not all . There are among them men whom I revere . Such is ? ue whom I don ' t name , because he , is present ; mild , learned , pious and benevolent ; a friend to thfc meekness of the
gospel , and a friend to man . Such is another whom I may venture to name , because he is not present . He has the first episcopal dignity in this realm—it is his right—he takes it by virtue of the commanding benevolence of his mind , in right of a superior and exalted nature .
There are men possessed of certain creative powers , and who distinguish the place of their nativity , instead of being distinguished by it . —They don ' t receive , they give birth to the place of their residence , and vivify the region which ia about them . The man I allude to I
know him not , or know him as we know superior beings , 6 nly by his wprks . ' * Anonymous Slanderer- " No man , no body of roes , has a right toaharge on a member of the legislature , as hw speech made therein „ , au . unauthorized piujlw » -

* .. . , . Wretched , ^ eksahfrf . ^ - < € The hapless people of the s ' cftitW are husbandmen from necessity , not chbifce . Tney have no othe ¥ nieans of Existence . They are tibliged , in xnUhy places , to clamber mountains , rocks arid precipices , Vo snatch
from . sterility a little spot of ground * and oppose indefatigable industry to the natural stubbornness ^ of the soil . * And they are compelled to wade to cultivation throu ^ bogs and morasses ; labouring thus to add to the productive grounds of the kingdom . " €
Value of Peasantry . — < Where can the peasantry Of Ireland look for protection , if you deny them assistance ? They are the pillars of the state , and if not humanity , good policy ought at least to guide you to cherish them . ~ You complain they
are intractable ; there is no animal ^ so $ erce but can be tamed , save the tyger ; yet he is in some measure to be subdued . Jf you wish to conciliate him , feed him well . Try the experiment , I intreat you . "
Toleration . — " The source of your reason tells you that you should embrace every sect of religion ; how , then , can you hope to receive sovereign mercy , if you are deaf to the cries of your fellowcreatures ? The doctrine of the . dark
conclave of bigotry , which , bursting , overwhelmed the nations of the earth , may be urged in favour of such criminal apathy ; but the pangs of him who suffered a cruel crucifixion will rush from the sepulchre , to upbraid you with ingratitude , and involve your future tranquillity . "
lUibervlity . — " When * a bill for the improvement of barren lands , and the encouragement of industry among the lower orders of the people , was in the last sessiop , resisted by the spiritual peers , a right reverend prelate was said to have declared a ^ s a principle , that the poor
should not be relieved if the clergy were to be at ; the expense .
