« Your religion has always been degraded ; you are in the
dast, and I wil) take care you never rise again, I should
enjoy lessthe possession of su earthly good by every ad-
ditional person to whom it was extended.

“You may not be aware of it yourself, most reverend
Abraham, but you deny their freedom to the Catholics upon
the same principle that Sarah, your wife, refuses to give the
receipt fora ham or a goosebery dumpling; she values her
receipts, not oly beeause they secure to her a certain bless-
ing, bat beeatve they remind her that her neighbours want
it—a feeling laughable in a priestess, shaweful in a priest-—
venia! when it withholds the blessing of a ham, tyrannical
and cxcerable when it narrows the bon of religious freedom.

“] amit there is a vast luxury in selecting a particular
sect of Christians, aad in worrying them as a boy worries a
puppy dog; it is an amusement in which a!) the young
English are brought up from their earliest days. While |
am “gratifying my personal insolence respecting religious
forms, U feadie myself into an idea that | am religious, and

that L am doing my duty in the most examplary (as I cer- |

tainly am in the most easy) manner. But then, my good
Abraham, this sport, admiralile as it is, is beeome, with re-
spect to Catholics, a little dangerous ; and if we are not ex-
tremely careful in taking tie amusement, we shall tumble
ieto the holy water and be drowned. Ass it seems necessary
to your idea of an establishe1 Church to have somebody to
worry and torment, suppose we were to select for this pur-
pose William Wilberforee, E-q., (Rev. R. MeNogir), aud the
patent Christiane of Claphow: (the MacNairites or Charlat-
tetown keep-haly-the-Salbai-day destroyers). We shalt
by this expedient enjoy the same opportunity for cruclity
and injustice, without being exposed to the samerisks, We

ill swear them to the doctrine of good works, compel them
to preach common sense, and to hear it; to frequent Bishops
Deans ani other high Churchmen; and to appear (once in
the quarter at the least), at some Melodrame, Opera, Pan-
tomine, or other light scenical representation; in short, we
will gratify the love of insolence and power ; we will enjoy

the old orthodox sport of wi uessing the impotent anger of

men compelled to submit to civil degradation, or to sacrifice
their notion of truth to ours. And ali this we may do with-
out the slightest risk, because their numbers are (as yet),
not very cousiderable. Crueity and injustice must, of course,
exist ; but why connect them with danger? Why torture a
bull-dog when you ean get a frog or a rabbit? [am sure
miy proposal will meet with the most universal approbation.

Du not be apprehensive of any opposition from Ministers. |

If it isa case of hatred, we are sure that one will defend it
by the Gospel; if it abridges human freedom, we know that
another will fin! precedcuts for it iu the Revolution.” The
words in italics are ours.

To tuz Eprror or tue Examiner.

Str,—I see by your last issue that Capt. Juhn Murphy
has addressed a communication to you, rspecting the resig-

nation of the late members of the Irish Volunteer Corps. |

Tois fetter, as ( have heard, is the joiat production of the
Captain, his offizers aed men, who have for the last month
been nightly engaged in co nposing this artful, though un-
truthful production ; but, of course, nothing better could be
expeeted to emanate from “ Qur House.”

Capt. Murphy commences by insinuating that there was
not # majority of the Company opposed to him ; but no one
knows better than the Captain himself that this assertion is
untrue, fur when the Corps divided upon his conduct, twenty-
eight voted against him, and only eleven for bim. h

found in his own letter, where, xmong the men be names,
ure some who were elected in direct opposition to Capt. |
Marphy and b's supporters, hence the reason for their names
not appearing on the Muster Roll dept dy the Captain ; but
they did appear on the roll kept by the Clerk of the Com-
pany; while others nominated by the friends of the galiant
Captain were easily balloted out— Doyle, at Llickey’s factory,
aud others being among the number. Now, as it requires a
vote of two-thirds of the meu to elect members of the Corps,
how could these have been elegied unless a large majority}

‘to the Volunteers at their regular meeting, was unanimously |
adopted. And who, let me ask, should be the best judges ot
the Cuptain’s conduct? Should it be the Corps, or should
it be the Commission ¢ I hold it should be the former, and |

for this reason, that the men may agagell expect an impartial |
decision from a Court of Captains, ven trying a question

/hetween Captaio and men, as the tenantry might expect from;

the Land Commission if that Court were composed of three)

proprietors,

Capt. Murphy was charged with being drank in the drill |
room, and iueapable of taking charge of the men. This!
was amply sustained, and can now be corroborated by Lieut |
Reddia and severa) others; yet the Commission actuitted |
him of this charge, because, as I suppose, some of his wit-
nesses, when called to rebut the accusation, stated they did
not consider a man druvk unless he had to hold by the fences
or walls to keep himself from falling! This may be taken
as asample of the evidence produced by Capt. Murphy to
rebut the other charges.

I consider the fact of Capt. Murphy's having acted as a
‘waiter at the Prince’s Ball to be quite enough to strip him
‘of bis commission. Could any thing be more degrading to

an officer and insulting to the Company he commanded than
stooping to the level of a menial, as he certainly did upon

ithat oceasion? Both himself and those who side with him

seem to forget that what may be right avd proper for Mr. |

John Murphy to perform, may be highly improper for
Captain Murphy to do. Of this I am sare, however, that
no gentleman would have so acted, Capt. Murphy’s opinion,
and the opinion of all the Volunteer Captains in the Is!and,
to the contrary notwithstanding.

As the report to which I bave alladed will most likely be
| published, and in all probability the Clerk of the Company,
_who was one of the Committee appointed to draw it up, will,

together with others who have been honoured with a passing
'rewark in the Captain's letter, have something to say iu (heir
own defence, I will dismiss the subject for the preseat—
adding, that it is much against my desire that this dispute
should have found iis way into the sewspapers, for when [
resigned as an honorary member, I had hoped to have done
with the Corps forever. Capt. Murphy, however, has decided
otherwise by throwiag down the gauntlet, and I periorce must
take it up.

I am, Sir, yours very truly.
WM. MURPHY.

every iadividual present-—excepting, of course, this very |
sanc:imonious Captain! Lt will be easily seen that Capt. |
Murphy was not blamed fur sa/uting the Bishops, (which, in |
fact, every member of the Corps would have done), but for |
disregard'ng the almost unanimous vote of the Company, |
which decided that doing so would place the Company in a’
false position before the Protestant portion of the community.
Now, it was only to the fuct that Capt. Murphy did turn)
out in his uniform, and not that he saluted the Bishops, that |
Corporal Mclutire was culled to attest to; and although he |
so artfully appeals to the Irish Catholies of the community |

|

upon this subject, I feel assured there is not one among them |

. but will give each individual named in Qapt. Murphy’s letter |

the credit of being as good a Christian as himself. Certainly |
some of the Catholic Lrisiimen have no cause to take the part,
of Capt. Murphy in this affair, when it is well knowo a report
was current in the drill room that he wished to prevent the
admission of “ Monaghans” into the Corps, the best proof of
which is that this priacip'e was acted upoa by balloting out
John Smith, and, | believe, some others. Upon this subject
I addressed the Oorps—-pointed out the suicidal policy of
making distinctions betwen the North and South; and my
influence, backed by that of Lieut. Reddin and Mr. P. Bowers,
caused the vote to be retaken, when the despised Monaghans
were du'y elected, to the no small chagrin of those members

of the Company who have on all occasions sided and acted
with Capt. Murphy—his right hand men and principal fac- |

totums being partioular]y busy upon this occasion, the Cap-
tuin bimself being absent.

I may as well now give Capt. Murphy a piece of gratuitous
information. He states in his letter that he was solicited to
become Captais. Supposing so, but it was generally under-
stood and believed that the Corps could displace him at any
