should become a little more Americanised ; and,
instead of feeding the paupers and labourers of
England, feed our own ; or else, in a short time,
by continuing our present policy, we shall be
rendered paupers ourselves. It is, therefore, my
opinion, that a careful and judicious tariff is
much wanted, to pay our national debt, and af-
ford us the means of that defence within our-
selves, on which the safety of our country and
liberty depends ; and last, though not least, give
a proper distribution to our labor, which must
prove beneficial to the happiness, independence,
and wealth of the community.
This is a short outline of my opinion, general-|

clare to you, I would not barter them for any of-

could be given me.

sause I am without concealment ; and should in-
deed despise myself, if I could believe myself
capable of desiring the confidence of any by

In our home affairs, the subject of most in-

tion, given by the Irish Bishop of Limerick in
the house of lords. It has been objected to the
archbishop of Dublin, the most learned and
virtuous prelate of the age, Dr. Magee, that be
the first of all protestant prelates, forbade the
catholic priests to read their funeral service in
the protestant church yards, and therein pre-
vent the interment of catholics in consecrated
ground. To this the archbishop has replied,
in the house of lords, through the bishop of
Limerick, first, that he never issued any such
orders ; and secondly, that even in the two in
stances at Dublin, where the attempt was made,
and so violently urged, it was never known that
catholic priests attempted the use of protestant
church-yards. They have all consecrated
ground of their own, or may consecrate them,
and there is no reason whatever for the claim
now urged. X
