LORD NEWBOROUUtl AND MODERN LIBERALITY. Jo the Right Honourable Thomas John Lord S"ewbormiyhf—by the grace of his Constituentv, the reo spectable F,ehold.:r'8fif Carnarvonshire,—and through a pledge given that he ivould oppose the admission or Roman Catholics to pulitimt present Mem- ber of Parli<l7I1<lIt/ol' that t ounty,—these few words. illir I.onn;-—It has become well known to the majority of the respectable freeholders of this county, through the medium of the local newspaper, the Xorth Chronicle, to ti?? Editor of ?l,i?b I have entrusted these few reiiiarks-iii the ex. pectation that by his instrumentality they will meet the eye of your Lordship in the presence of the pnblie, and that your Lordship will deign as publicly to answer the queries proposed—that oil the occasion of your presentation to the Honour- able House of which your Lordship is now a eolll ponent part, of several petitions against political concessions to the Roman Catholics, from your constituents in dillcrent parts of the county, your Lordship's prefatory IIbservations were totally mis- represented by the reporters for the Metropolitan press; some uf them even stating that the petitions alluded to were in favour of what is called, or rather miscalled, Catholic Emancipation, They have also become by the same source equally well acquainted with what your Lordsllip aetually did aay on the occasion alluded to. As was very justly observed,—at least ill theestiination of all who read our Lordship's speceh, and had anything to do with the petition in question, your Lordship,—in intimating your willingness to agree to any proposi- tion for the settlement of the Cathulic question that might be brought forward by his Majesty's M misters, if accompanied by solid securities that the Protestant COIIslilution of theoe realms should not be violated, seems to have considered yourself as uniting in the prayer of the Itetitioners whereas it was in the petitions clearly expressed, and the petitioner* in signing it felt confident of the just ness of the assumption, that no further political wueessious could be made tu th" Roman t'atlw lics ou any terms; as 110 securities could he de vised that in the event of their admission to politi eill power, from the knowlI tenets of their religion, would preclude the destructioll of our hitherto stiicilv Protestant Constitution. Will your Lord- ship allow me to ask why your Lordship was brought forward the independent freeholders of this countv in opposition to the worthy baronct who had for" live and thirty years faithfully repre s"nte(1 tbem, Was it because he haJ \¡ng that time been inattentive to their lotal interests, or that your Lordship's ability to promote the same exceeded that which be possessed r Was it not rather because he dissented from their opinions relative to the impropriety and danger of admit ting papists to political power, and on Recount of thc lawless proceedings of the Irish agitators, -whkh they anticipated, and j.?tl ?, as it appears, wou)ù one day or other have the eflect nf frighten- would one dav or "Ii,or the eB,?t of that Ihev were delermined to support none but a strictly Protestant candidate, which character your Lordship was represented to licitr 1 quote \onr Lordship's own testimony to this point, natcd Glynllifon, Sept. 21st, jio:¡, which with what you asserted b.lore and afterwar s, constituted the pledge on which you weie by them .?(-,i,,d 1111 regard to the great quesliou wb"h bas so long u arrested public attention, beg distinctly to state that lam deeidedlv adverse to am f,tller COli H ces!Jions being made to the Homan l'atho!ivs." Your Lordship surely could not have heen pos- sessed at this time of Jesuitical feeling, and h.. entertained the reservation 4- without "Iut I con- ccive solid securities.

I do not quarrel with you for .our revision of opi- nion, It is a tme mark (If au ingenuous mind.

In the execution of our duty, we a few weeks back felt it necessary to offer the few observations; alluded to in the preceding letter, addressed by a most re- spectable individual to the Member for the County, by way of comment upon his Lordship's speech on the presentation <>f the Bangor petition and sc veral others to the House or Commons—the cor reetness of %,hich"]),)I,t and the justice of the ob servations thereon we being prepared to substan- tiate.

Of course his Lordship must lie the best judge of what is becoming in him as tll( representative of this county hut we can assure his Lordship that we are not possessed of thut truckling meanness, thaI despicable love of self, that fear of pecuniary sacrifice, which are cal culated to induce men of little minds too compro- mise the best interests of thc country for Ih" pur. pose of suiting the vaecillating or time serving policy of any indiv dual howevei high liis rank and station may be lVinful it must be at all times to otir feelings to be compelled to make observations upon the political character or con dllet of any gentleman, cspecially upon that of Olle who possesses extcir.ive property and is imme- diately connected wi'li this part of the principality yet as public journalists we have a paramollut duty to perforin, "hich shull ever he fearlessly- discharged whell we discover public characters abando >ing those principles to which they stand solemnly pledged, and witness them, ill the face of their own repeated deliberate declarations of faith- fulness, sacrificing the best interests of their con stituents "pOll the modern altar of political ex pediency.
