Moved by JOHN HARDY, Esq.; seconded by General LATTER, "That the existing state of public affairs justifies and calls for the course of action adopted by the Protestant Association, namely, of calling public attention by all legitimate means to the alarming political progress of Popery, to its increasing influence in the councils of the nation, and to the continued infringement of the oaths and solemn assurances, under the security of which Romanists have been admitted to Parliament." * See page iii. Moved by the Rev. HUGH M'NEILE, of Liverpool; seconded by the Rev. M. HOBART SEYMOUR,— "That this Meeting protests most earnestly against the proposition recently made for the introduction of the Romish version of the Scriptures into the Government schools, and strongly deprecates the attempts now making to withdraw the education of the rising generation from the superintendence of the clergy of the Established Church, as a part of the system of hostility now in operation against our Protestant institutions." Moved by the Hon. WILLIAM DUNCOMBE, M.P.; seconded by W. S. BLACKSTONE, Esq., M.P., "That the thanks of this Meeting be given to the Earl of Winchelsea for his kindness in presiding on this occasion, and his consistent and unwavering exertions in the cause of Protestantism." |
