native tongue is looked upon by many worthy people with suspicion unless iudced it be abridged of nit that en titles it 10 the appellation against rhym ing prose devoid of all poetic feeling the objection does not bear aud it is a receiv ed and valued vehicle of pious sentiment but what is distinctively poetry is pro scribed almost with horror as the fantasy of a disordered hraiu only to be excused by the plea of insanity i am aware that this judgment is often to he attributed to the character of the individual mind apart from any pious scruples many ar inca pable by nature of the deep

mistake very probably ari sing like others of the kind from cousei- ojsoessof evil received in times passed through the means of this abused faculty i used to love poetry but i cover read it now is au

impetus almost irre sistible it might not be impossible to prove that man could uot have made poe try had god not intended it but we have a prouder aud safer apology for poe try it is the language deity has used for the revelation of his will to man enough was done to sanctify this power when the almighty chose it to convey to his own ears the prayers and praises of his people it was poetry moses was commanded to teffch the israelites to celebrate the prais es of jehovah it was poetry in which the psalmist heaveninspired poured forth the feelings oftiis bosom of a bosom more ho ly more divine tliao his when he spake crophetically of the redeemers passion vho can say any thing against poetry tho hallowed vessel may iudeed have been taken as it has been from the sanctu ary and devoted for thousands of years to the pollutions of tho idols feast but we must ever remember where we find it first the most ancient poetry we know is the scriptures of god aud this is essentially poetry in all its distinctive characters the soe try of the holy book is in many parts ighly imaginative in others expressive of tho most deeplywrought feeling we need uot give proofs of this they may be fouad in every page for even whero it is cot metrical the language of the old tes tament is to ali our undcrstaudiug of the word essentially poetry shall wetheu say wc never mad poetry because it has been to us aud still is to thousands a powerful instrument of evil and if a volume be presented to us in which all tbe fancy and the fire of poetry be mixed with the piety and purity of re ligion must wo put the hook aside with instinctive fear because it is the language of imagination sentiment and feeding this was not what israel did when the heatheu gave back the stoen vessels of the temple they purified aud restored them to their place i know it will be said that poetry is dangerous because it addresses itself to the understanding and understand ing is not religion so it may be said ar gument addresses itself lo the uudcrstand- ad understanding is uot rclis mg ion and persuasion addresses itself to the judg ment and judgment is uot religion we have often heard it objected to a preacher that be addressed himself to the feelings and so of a book and the same objection has been made to the use of music in devo tion we have heard it affirmed that the feelings should not be exercised in religion but rather distinguished by it wc have never been ahle to conceive the meaning of this the feelings as far as we under stand the import of the world are an es sential part of the original constitution of man received at the same time and from the same almighty hand and most surely for the same benignant purpose as those faculties we term intellectual why should the one be lessdue to god or less capable of aft notification hy his spirit than the other it is true the corrupter has possessed him self of the feelings aud made them the willing aild able instruments of iniquity and weak corrupt deluded as wc are thc arc every moment ready to betray us into sin but it is doubtful if the wildest ex cesses of unbridled passiou have wrought more evil than the sordid

complete one for no other vtould release us from the agitati ou of the question the catholics inigk some years ago have accepted with grati tude something short of absolute and un qualified emancipation but that day has passed the whole population of catholic ireland is deeply impressed with the jus tice of their claims and nothing short of justice will satisfy them in the mean time we rejoice to peceive that troops are pour ing into the korth of ireland for we feel as- sused that the tranquility of that kingdom is more endangered by the intemperance and blood thirsty violence of the brunswick clubs than from any other cause what does the bishop of down mean by permit ing one of the clergyto retain the power of administering the saeramcut after uttering a wish for the shedding

afternoon occa sioned by tho numerous reports circulated on the state of political relations with rus sia and the state of his majestys health iinxious for the happiness of ireland feel ourselves called upon at tbe present junc ture to declare tho conviction we enter tain that the disqualifying laws which af fect his majestys roman catholic sub jects are productive of consequences pre judicial in the highest degree to the inter ests of ireland and the empire to which she is united with respect to ireland in particular they are a primary cause of her poverty and w letchcdness rnd the source of those political discontents and religious animosities which distract the country en danger the safety of all its institutions aud are destructive alike of social happiness aud national prosperity we are further of opinion that unless the wisdom of the legislature shall speed ily apply a remedy to these evils they must in their rapid progression assume at uo distant period such a character asmust render their ultimate removal still more diifieult if not impossible we thorefore deem it of paramount importance to the welfare of tho empire at large and of ire land especially tbat the whole subject should he takeo into immediate considera tion by parliament with a view to such final and conciliatory adjustment as may he conducive to the peace and strength of the united kingdom to the stability of our national institutions and tothegcoeral sa tisfaction and concord of all classes of hi majestys subjects nb- it would bedesirable that those who sign should annex their place of residence to their names no ii we the undersigned being personally interested in tbe condition and sincerely anxious for the happiness of ireland feel ourselves called on at the present juncture to declare our conviction that the disqual ifying laws affecting bis majestys roman catholic subjects which in earlier periods were considered essential to the mainte nance of the protestant constitution and religion have through the enlightened character of the times ceased to be so and may with safety to the constitution be re pealed we are of opinion that viewing the pro gress of wealth intelligence and liberali ty which so preeminently characterises the present age the continuance of these laws operates most injuriously as a bar to the oblivion of political discord and to the union of sentiment and interest on which the internal peace and prosperity of a nation can alone permanently rest with respect to irelaud in particular we are of opinion that these laws in marking out a large class of his majestys subjects as being peaceable and loyal only through coerciou and exclusion become a primary cause of disunion by peipctuating thoso political discontents and religious animosi ties which distract the country endanger ing the safety of all its institutions and are alike destructive of social happiness and national prosperity we are further of opinion that unless the wisdom of the legislature shall apply a remedy to these evils they may in their progression assume at no distant period such a character as must render their ulti mate removal still more difficult we therefore deem it of paramount importance to tho welfare of the empire at large and of irelaud especially that tho whole subject bo taken into immediate consideration by parliament wiib a view to such

anxious for the restoration of tranquility in this dis tracted countrv to have cither of these de clarations copied or if they choose ano ther form to vary either according to their wishes and to have hem widely circulated in their respective neighbourhoods we can assure them that such a manifestation of protestant feeling at this time is most ne cessary we are we verily believe in the crisis of the destiny of ireland and upon the turn which affairs may take in the next six months we may calculate upon liberty or confusion jhtblin evening post ireland austria from the n y commercial advftmskr

the most wealthy and influential commoners as well as of a great body of the mercantile and farming interests there were some protestants however whoobjected to a part of the wording of thu
