He spoke of the grandeur of their mission, and exhorted them not to prefer their material interests to the welfare of the millions of human beings whom chance had placed in depend ante upon them. The mission confided to them raised the moral dignity of a class called to aecom. plish that work with an abnegation based on the con sciousness of the rights of man:— Amongst the individuals whose material condition we have to determine will he found some individual' content with their position. Glory and honour to the proprietors of these individuals! But their prosperity is merely fortuitous. Gentlemen, you are called to replace chance by certainty, and to remove everything arbitrary from the administration of a whole class 113 not sepsrate from sour calculations the respect due to the rights of anal ; render to man that which belongs to man, and you will justify the confidence of your Sovereign and the hopes of the nation.
