ABSTRACT
A right honourable gentleman has advanced an argument which goes to exclude the Catholics for ever. Their emancipation, says he, cannot be agreed to without danger to the constitution of both countries. The right honourable gentleman adds, that the Catholic exclusion is necessary for the connection as well as the constitution; and he teaches us to think that he speaks with the authority of the British cabinet. The right honourable gentleman having alluded to authority in England, accounts for the difficulty in Ireland; he / ascertains the seat of the disease, and the place of the impediment; and it appears, that the bar to the freedom of the Catholics of Ireland is the cabinet of Great Britain. The cabinet of England is the bar to the freedom of the Catholics; and the dispute is no longer a question between the Protestant and Catholic, but between the British minister and the Irish nation.
