THE favourite "best public instructer" of the Irish leading Catholics; that paper which they praised publicly for its liberality in giving notoriety to their sometimes mischievous harangues; the London Herald has again had a religious fit of the spleen, and bellowed forth its bigotted fury against the Catholic religion. And for what, do you think, good reader? Because, in the multitude of its professors, there happen to be some men who are fond of despotism, and others who occasionally make themselves fools. On the 29th instant appeared the following philippic as the leading article of the Herald:

"While the Orators who profess to be the organs of the Roman Catholics at home would have us believe that both themselves and the peculiar tenets of their religion are alike friendly to political freedom among mankind, the organs and the members of the same religion in other countries, but especially in Spain and Portugal, are at no less pains to convince us that they hate liberty as much as they love dominion. The history of the world, perhaps, never exhibited any thing so degrading as the political state of the first of these countries; and the efforts which are making to arrest the progress of freedom in the latter show pretty clearly the spirit from which both the one and the other proceeds. There is a remarkable passage in the Proclamation of Don Miguel, which we gave in Saturday's paper, which fully confirms this observation. Not satisfed with denouncing Death to the Revolutionists (as he calls them) and the Constitution,' this most serene Infant,' says to the Portuguese nation, Remember the Holy Religion which we profess; and do not admit liberty of worship, that principle of a Republican Government. Now we should like to pause, if it were possible, and ask Mr. O'Connell, and the other boisterous friends to the liberties' of Ireland, what they say to this. The truth is, that the Roman Catholic Religion is, and always has been opposed to freedom in every shape; and that its principles in these respects, are unchanged and unchangeable, the world did not want the testimony of Don Miguel to convince them. The ready way in which the Catholics at home, in the case of 'the Wings' for instance, can change their opinions as suits their convenience, is a tolerable earnest of their own tergiversation and insincerity in such matters. We do not state this as any overwhelming argument against Catholic Emancipation; but only as calculated to place the views both VOL. V.
