Excerpt from Annals of Ulster: From 1790 to 1798

The resolutions entered into by them were expressive of their regret at the recall of Earl Fitzwilliam, and their fears that the venal, profuse and tyrannical measures of a former administration were to be persevered in.

They likewise declared, that his lordship had, by his purposed measures, proved himself the true friend of Ireland, by associating, in his councils, men of virtue and talent; and they expressed their determination to employ every constitutional means in their power to obtain the two great objects, so essentially necessary to the peace, safety, and happiness of Ireland - complete Catholic emancipation, and a radical reform in the representation of the people. An address was also voted to his Excellency, which the chairman was instructed to forward to him.

Two days afterwards a numerous meeting of the Roman Catholics of the same county was held in the town of Antrim. Mr. Luke Teeling, chairman; Mr. Charles H. Teeling, secretary. They also expressed their sorrow of the recall of Earl Fitzwilliam to whom they resolved to present an address. In which they said - As friends to mankind we regret your departure from power, as Irishmen we deplore the misfortune to our country, and dread a revival of that system of monopoly and disunion so fatally experienced. In their resolutions they complimented the volunteers, whom they called The immortal volunteers of Ulster, (b) and declared that they would unite with their Protestant brethren in every legal and constitutional means for promoting the good of the nation.
