Full Text
The late address from the Roman Catholics of the county of Roscommon, must give satisfaction to every well-wisher to his countrymen; it proves to demonstration, that the late relaxations of the Popery laws have had the desired effect for attaching the bulk of the community of Ireland (for such the Catholics are) to the present establishment. Persecution and oppression for religious tenets, have ever produced animosity and resistance to government. While the rest of the world, and particularly the German Empire, are persuaded of the happy effects of toleration, the eyes of Ireland are but half opened, and see as yet but partially and through a mist of prejudice its happy effects.
