Again, oh could recollect the contact of Francis Duke of Bedford, who was always ready to attend the Public Meetings of Westminster, at the worst of dines, In Tepper. of public liberty, without revering !heti/me and family of Russell ? Francis Duke of Bedford Getter sought for Owe or power, and titles wield be no object to hire. No,,theerdy object of t h at great and good man was the preservation end eiteasion of the civil and relikilois libeities of 'his Counfryinin.—. Then as to the present John Duke of. •Hildfird, it was known that' tits - Glace was among the very 61st to stint 'forward in fsiner 'of Mr. Hone, and, that ,SeCh was the vindictive spirit of a prejodiced„illilworel, contemptible Administration, thet mil) Grace wes.refosed, in a most eztraordinery manner, the 'mid Liiatensuee Of the colony of Bed foii,'Which was'i Witte usually; held for a•series of years by some member of his family.

But notwithstanding all those circumstance', he was authorised to say, that Loa John Russell, whom he had the honour to propose as a fit person to represent'thls City in Parliament, would n u t come forniril if not invited end supported by the voice of the People. .Lord John was, in.

That speech wis, he believed, beard sad applauded by some Gentlemen then present, who ;geld speak to its merits. The first wish of Lord i fohn ss 'well as of himself, was to defeat the tool of the Minister, and he felt that VIA (Nett was not to be hazarded by any division among the friends of liberty;- .Therefore Lard John meant to abide byi the decision of that Meeting. lie thought it proper to state that, which perhaps was pretty well known,' namely, that Lord John Russell was i RefOrmit i ,l decidedly iniious' for the re-establiihrhineof Tams. • nisi Parliaments, and the eztensioh bf tbb tight of melee ktiffrige.—o(Applauties and hisats.).—lord!
