"Begad it did so, sir,"--from the crowd. "Well," proceeded the Buck,
"what doubt or hesiteetion can there be that the seem power and
authority that riz our own church won't be keepable of puttin' down the
great protesting heresy?"

"See that now," from the crowd; "begad it stands to raison sure enough."

"Certainly," he proceeded, "none what-somever; but then the question is,
how can it be effectualized?"

The crowd--"Begad, and so it is."

"Well, my friends, it isn't at oll difficult to determine that
particularity: you oll know that a men lives by food--very well; pleece
that men in a persition where he can't procur food and the nethrel
kensiquence is that he must die. Eh--ha! ha! ha!--do you kimprehind?"

"Not a doubt of it," replied Mr. Crowd, "but sure, at any rate, we will
kimprehend it by-an'-by."

"Very well; take the protesting? church or the parsons, for it is oll
the seem--deprive them of the mains of support, that is to see, deny
them their tithes--don't pay a shilling--hold out to the death, as my
friend the Counsellor--great O'Connell says--and as we oil say, practice
passive resistance,then you know the establishment must stirve and die
of femine and distitootion, as a contributive jidgment for its sins."

Crowd--"Blood alive, isn't that great!"

"What is it?" from the other circle.
