OM such an oe. ca ,j on 1 hard that all party Gramme would be laid aside, and that presto's who differed in their political opisioas might cordially •co.operute from a sense of their common danger, and front • desire to promote the public welfare sod their own. I thought oho, that measures might be pro posed which ought to unite in their support all classes and descriptions of perilous, and even those who were sot im enethalety interested in the cultivation of the soil. It seemed also Very requisite to dispel the &kenos which exists in , aunty traders, that relief could be Inns,' only in high prices, witch are neither desirable nor attaiwable. Some persons who agreed with me in 'ldeating that peti lioun ought to by presented to Parlissiest fir relief, would not air, the Itergobeittoo, tresonom they were of opisioa That the object would be bed pronnuted by private meetings and " Agricultural Associations." They might, indeed, have learned from observation, if nut from their own experieuee, that those petitions meat be the most effectu•l which ore supported by large numbers, and by the weight aid cowls tutionnl influence that belongs to a Cloudy Meeting. They might also have reflected, that private aseuciations, however respectable the Individuals are who compose them, may be viewed by the public with indifference, because they are tboukbt to he Inefficient; or with mistreat, because they may be supposed to have foe their object some measure which might tend to raise the price of corn, mid which might be considered onfavourabk to the geode' Interests of the coun try. Os the other hand, I found that the yeomen and the farmers were, as they ought to be, and as might naturally he expected, most anxious for a Connty Meeriat, at which the whole subject might be fully and publicly discussed. lf, indeed, the object of such associatioss were, if possible, to reader provisions dear, I am ready so allow that private meetingeare beet lilted for a purpose which is so unpopular. It would be well, however, fur the advocates of such a mea sure to consider whether it would be practicable to effect it, wheeit is manifest that the protecting duty which they re commend could have no effect whatever upon the price of core, mid that the prices of almost every other article of produce have also experienced a similar depression. For rumple, it was stated by • wituess who was examined be fore the Committee oar the depressed state of agriculture, and it must be well known in thin country, that u in the dis tricts where the cultivation of bops is Tory mush relied neon, the price only just pays the doty." 'though the present peicea of produce are not oath an eta Is geeeral remunerate the farmer and enable bins to pay the tattooed other charges to which he is 'abject, the distress which is now so generally and so severely felt is sot occasioned solely by low prices. A similar distress did rot exist at she commencement of the late war, when priors were very low, sad 'when the' lases were low also; bet the prices are sow nearly the same as they were dies, and perbapa lower, while the mites ass now wearlyfoor times as great as they were at that period. The prelim distress arises from the damp/ono. which now ex ists between the present prices of produce nod the present amount of taxes; sad it ea, its appears to me, a clear and oudeniable proposition, that such disproportioa cue be re., moved only by increasing 'hose mica, or by diminishing lbowe taxes; and that if the former alternative is impracticable, the keessems only be adopted. If that measure were *dos ed to a onlieleet eldest, low prices would mass to be a outs. jed of eampinies, mad would steed general satisfaction le the eoustry. Same peseta mimed to sign the requieinoo, because they Ihooght Ike ne ostler could he obtained: but it is somewhat premature le ism that judgment before they had any !mow. lease of deo aesasenis which would he proposed, *led Irbil* 'Diehl have eemiwed their cooeurrestee, when the subject bed bees fatly expleimed. ,•01' Other peewees declined to support the requisition, ma,. vase they objected very straggly to the proposal of asp. sorrilic measures is the Pentium; as if that Petition ought to have been in the style of a '' begging letter," stating die trem, and asking severally for relief. 1 thought, on the con trary, that when relief is solicited, it ought to be shewu to Ise predicable, which I firmly believe to be the case at pre sent. There might, however, exist circumatasces under which so relief could be granted to the farmers; u.d such could have bees the case if their distress bad proceeded from • gcweral failure of the crops. Now we are gravely told that their distress is occasioned by the crops being too abundant, though abundance was formerly considered to he a blessing. la all disorders, whether bodily or political, it is neves. nary to ascertain the rause, in order to effect the cure. If the county meeting had been held, I would have endeavoured to explain very folly the origin and causes of the present distress, which, far from being of a temporary or transient were, does not seem to me to have *endued its full height, mid most increase by its continuance until it may lead to censequences the most calamitous. I would have suited in what manger the return to cash payments had in ee I the fussy buirleu of the taxes, and rendered in all eases diffi cab, and kr some cares impracticable, the execution of pre late contract,. I would have represented the evils which the present distress may being upon the laboaters, upon the tradesmen, upon the manufacturers, and aloe upon the fond. holders. I would have shown that as enormous redurtom might. without injustice, he triode of those taxes which are imposed upon several of the necessaries of life—spun beer, salt, leather, candles, anti soap. I would have recoup seceded an equal, and, therefore, a just assessment of the peres-rates, and of all other public boraces, upon all capi tal, hooded' invested. I would have rreommeoded the mho.. lam of such municipal regaletione as would secure to the consumer the full adtrantsge which he ought to receive from low prices. Above all, I would have recommended that tales noel other payments should be /educed in the same pro. portion as the velar of the currency has been increased. The ex r. ana times and arguments is hie h I should have offered 'you the subject would very much exceed the limits of this sdaiess,.but they may appear in souther form, to a pamphlet, - sh,th will moon be published. I subjoin the Petition which intruded to propose, and which would, I think, have afforded au leafed example to other counties. It is sub rooira to your candid consideration.
