A detailed explanation orjußifieation of my principles is unne celfary, and would be improper ; but I am confident that the In dependent and Honourable Men who eledled me fix months ago neither wined me to conceal them, nor would now afk me to abandon them. It is a difappointment to lore my feat in Parliament—lt is a greater mortification to have loft the (upport of thole to whom I am indebted, and to whom I Rail ever be attacbed--But it would be yet more painful to lore their rerped and good opinion, and I am convinced that an adherence to principle is the only method of permanently preferving them—Thus fimated I red it becntning in me to withdraw from the easnelb-.-a e u eA otpeculi.v charades. in which religious animofity 'has been unfortunately blended with political dreuffion.
