Excerpt from The Life, Times, and Correspondence of the Right Rev. Dr. Doyle, Vol. 2: Bishop of Kildare and Leighlin The Bishop expressed great regret that Lord Farnham should be so blind to the loyalty of the Catholics, so long maintained; to their fidelity, so Often tried; to their love of country, so often proved. Dr. Doyle brought to bear all the resources of a strong and solid logic with a view to undermine the position taken up by Lord Farnham as a consequence of Emancipation. The Peer's gloomy forebodings had already influenced the views of not a few persons previously favourable to the Catholic cause. The ques tion, continued Dr. Doyle, for an Irish patriot to consider is, first, would separation from England be practicable if the Catholics be emancipated Next, would it be useful if it were practicable If the present balance Of power in Europe can be maintained, every attempt to separate these islands would be abortive and until a revolution more extensive and violent than that which has lately terminated shall again pervade this hemisphere, every Irishman of sound views will labour to cement the existing union. If the Catholics, therefore, were emancipated, and Ireland governed justly, there is no portion of her inhabitants would labour more zealously, or with fairer views, for the prosperity of the United Kingdom. Dr. Doyle argued at some length on this point, but concluded by saying that his remarks were made on the supposition that the just claims of the Catholics are conceded, and the country governed, not by compromise, indecision, and petty intrigue, but by a just, and frank, and straightforward policy.
