Appeal of the Catholics of tretatid to the People of Englund . Friends and Fellow-Subjects , Those who are labouring under oppression will uaMraliy seek for deliverance , and they wi 3 U be exposed to the
strong tempfcatkH * of receiving ( if they can obtain it ) assistance from aray part of the world % twit , p f ibe whole world , we would , if the choice lay before us * prefer the obtaining of such assistance fr&m you , To you > therefore , we appeal oil
the present momentous occasions © m your souod understanding aad justice we rely for aid in the obtaining of deii * etv airce from our unmerited ill- « sag £ —from thraldotn , frotti injustice , frofia degradation , cruelty , and insult , such us aerer had a general existence in any country l > ttt Ireland .
We are well aware of the prejudices which systematic deception , constantly carried on for two centuries and a half , has implanted in your mind $ . Whea we hear veithin the w $ Us of Parliament itself , outr ancestors of only two centuries back , represented as half savttges ; when
we hear this in such a place , and see that it passes as a truth acinowledged , we can scarcely Impute bianae to you for suspecting that we are by nature unfitted for the enjoyment of those rights and tmanunitks which the law insures to you . Hut , Englishmen $ listen no longer to these calumnies ; hear the voice of his ^ -
tory , and consult your ow » good sertse . The former will tell you , that Christianity , the great ehiiizer of mankind , had , before it iiad takeu root in y < mr country , long flourished , » aad spread fiur and wLde its blessed kraaiches m ours ^ wjideue the monrrtfnl rtdns . of our abbeys , and all our numerous ancient monuments of

much more than Iwe times as many as wisdom and justice , accompanied with legislastii ^ e po we r , reqiuire for the civilizing ^ ven of savages ; and that , ( therefore , " the well-earned fame , ia ik * tei « as well as in arms , of CathoMc Iri ^ limen ,
