And if they have , in fact , offended . more than others , it should be remembered that no others have been so tried ; that they have held nower in a for higher degree , through a much longer

      duration , over a vastly more extended region , and had to fight a severer battle for its retention , than any other Christian sect ever had or can have . It should also be remembered that they are now , both for themselves and others , strenuously asserting the principle of religious liberty ;* that full toleration is the order of the day with the great Catholic powers of the Continent ; and that the very first legislative declaration of the equal right of all Christians to civil and political offices , was the act of Catholics .
