As testimonies of the great benefits received from all parts of the kingdom in every complaint, and from parties giving their names and residences, one or more new cases will be inserted in this paper. CURE OF AN INFLAMMATORY AFFECTION OF THE HEAD. - -- " To Mr. MORISON, the Hygeist. " Sta,—ln gratitude to the Almighty, who, through your in strumentality, has, by the use of your invaluable Universal Medicines,' restored me to sound health, after a long and severe suffering of what the doctors called an inflammation in the head ;' and for the benefit of my fellow sufferers, I beg leave to lay before you and the world my severe case, and extraordinary and rapid cure by your means only. I have long laboured under most distracting pains in the head, for which the Faculty could give me no lasting relief, until they pronounced me past all cure, having, as they conceived, an inflammation on or about the brain, and left me to seek rest in death. Mr. Haydon, your in dustrious Agent, being among my friends who came to admi nister spiritual comforts to me in my expected last moments of my existence, saw a .ray of hope in the prompt use of your pills, and immediately administered them to me. The effect was like magic —a few hours of such rest as I had not had for a length of time took place—copious evacuations followed—my drooping spirits rallied—and in a few days I was restored to the aid of my wife, and eight helpless children, in full and perfect health. am ready to testify all this on oath before any magistrate in the kingdom, if required, and most anxious to answer any inquiries to all who may call on me. I am, with my grateful family, Sir, " Your very humble servant, " GEORGE PAYNE. " 7, Ram.alley, Spicer-street, Bethnal Green, December 1, 1831." - CURE OF RHEUMATISM. " To Mr. MORISON. SIR,-With pleasure and gratitude I relate to you the won deful benefit I have received through ' Morison's Universal Ve getable Medicines.' For some years I have been afflicted with violent rheumatic pains in my limbs ? so as to disable me from following my employ, attended with urinary obstructions. Having tried several of the Faculty to no purpose, I was directed to your worthy and active agent, Mr. S. Haydon, No. 5, Fleur de-lis-court, Spitalftelds, by whose attention to my case, and di recting the use of the Medicines, I am perfectly cured, and now enjoy the blessing of health. With gratitude to Mr. Haydon for his care and kindness, I remain, Sir, your humble servant, BEN. HARRISON. c. 99, Long-alley, Crown-street, Finsbury-square, Jan. 2, 1532." CURE of CRAMP in the LIMBS, and PAINS in the SIDE, HEAD, and STOMACH, and LOSS of APPETITE, &c. " Mr. MORISON. 8111,--4t is with the greatest satisfaction that I have to ap prise you of my perfect recovery, b y th e use of the Universal Medicines,' from a complication of disorders that has affected my whole frame for more than '2O years; such as cramp in my legs, pain of my side, head and stomach, loss of appetite, and af fected lungs, &c. This restoration of health I attribute solely to your infallible Vegetable Pills, for after taking but a few boxes, under the direction of your Agent, Mr. J. A. Hulett, 147, Rat cliff Highway, my appetite was restored, my pains left me, and I may say that lam now as a giant refresh'd with strong wine.'

POLICE INTELLIGENCE MANSION-HO USE. 31. Pierre de Blain, a French gentleman, who resides in chambers in Leadenhall-street, was aura morsed before the LORD MAYOR for beating Rafael Spagliette, an image -seller, and breaking a very tine bust of Napoleon Bonaparte. There was another charge against M. de Blois, brought by a confectioner, who accused him of having mixed up the bead of the deceased Emperor with a giblet pie, which had been baked for the dinner of a cus tomer in the same building. The image -seller stated that he had walked up stairs to show a bust of Napoleon, made of pale clay, and bearing a strong resemblance of that distinguished person. He could not open the defendant's door; but finding that there was a pane of glass at the top of it, he raised up the head, rapped at the door softly, and said, " Buy my Napoleon's ghost; buy my ghost of Bonaparte ?" On a sudden he heard somebody in the inside cry out, " Oh, Christ shave us, it is de Emperor !" and immediately afterwards down lumped a weight upon the floor, upon which he went away with his image without waiting to sell it.—(Loud laughter.) A few days subsequently he went to the same chambers, but he had scarcely got on the landing-place when the defendant seized him by the collar, and said, " Oh la ! you dam rascal, you shan't sell no more of de ghosts here, for you shall go home de ghost yourself !"—(A laugh.) The defendant then tumbled him down stairs, and but for a confectioner's man, who stopped the fall, Spagliette was sure that, if -any part of him was alive now, it could be nothing but his ghost. John Harris, journeyman to a confectioner, stated that be was taking home a giblet pie to Mr. Wilson, a gentleman who resided in the chambers, when he received the image-seller and his Napoleon upon the tray, from the top of the stairs, from the hands of M. de Blois, with fifty diabolical oaths. Part of the Italian and part of the Napoleon fell upon the pie, and Mr. Wilson refused to pay for it, as he did not fancy a mixture of giblets for his dinner.—(A laugh.) M. de Blois said that the image-seller had been set on by some wags in the building to annoy him, and he would leave it to any one to say whether it was not rather frightful to see the head of a man who had been so long dead looking in at a high window. —(Laughter.) He was willing to pay for the broken head, as he had all along intended to break it ; but why he should be called upon to pay for the pie was what be could not at all understand. The Loin MAYOR—In what attitude did the Italian fall upon the pie? Confectioner—Please you, my Lord, he just fell a sitting upon it. Mr. Mahony, clerk to M. Blois, said that he was present when the Italian lifted the head up to the window, and he vowed that he believed it to be a real head, especially when it shook and said, " I'm the ghost of Napoleon !" M. de Blois was dread fully agitated, particularly as he had known the late Emperor. He really thought that men ought to be punished for carrying about such heads. The LORD MAYOR—And so they arc. The owner of Napoleon's head was punished pretty sharply for carrying about such a head with him. Mr. Mahony (not c6mpreliending his Lordship's observation)—l'm sure my Lord, he deserved what he got, and he ought to be made to pay for the pie too. If the Italian fell I'm hanged if it was any more than tit for tat, for h e k n o c k e d d own M. de Blots with the Emperor but a short time before. Mr. Wilson stated that as such a variety of disasters had attended the re-appearance of the Em peror of the French, he would do all in his power to restore the harmony which had been violated, by paying for the gibl e t pi e , if M. d e Bl o i s wou ld give half-a-crown to the Italian, to buy a plaster for the head of Napoleon. M. de Blois—No, I shall not pay for de head ; but if you pay for de head, I shall pay for de giblets. To this arrangement Mr. Wilson at once agreed, and he profited by the scruples of the Frenchman, who, without hesitation, threw down a crown to the confectioner, and departed. At the Hertford Sessions, on Monday, the Grand Jury found a true bill for a libel on Mr. Know, churchwarden of Stunstead, against ROBERT HOGAN, the keeper of a beer shop in that villige, for having exhibited on his sign -board the effigy of a man, with these words, " Here swings the informer," written underneath. HOGAN had been informed against for transgressing the regulations for beer shops prescribed by th e Act of Parliament, and attributed it to the churchwarden.—Beds. .Chronicle, • . ..., •• • ~. *I- v. *..•. , ' , - •,:• .. • • _.„.. , . ht 4 's'-')- - , . ...;),4 • . . . ~y_h.._ • .-, ;,,, , - J.) 5... , ..,...;,. g ~,,,, ..., , „d id ( ~..• . • , - . !.!,_!, .[.. ....,,,,,,, !,,41_11,_A, - _ • ' ro: ' ,• f • ~ - --...). . . !s • , , N•• , " MO , -74 .

I have no right to,stablish"a,n Itiitukkion into in trace's conduct, but happening to be neighbour, anti to have known him from infancy, I can truly say, that for one month he has passed in England he has passed eleven in Ireland, and for one guinea expended in England, he has expended twenty in his native country, where, as a landlord, as a magistrate, as a host, paren', husband, or friend, he stands unrivalled amongst a band of country gen tlemen, of as high character and bearing as can be found in any country of the world, all, however, of course, perfectly unknown to Mr. O'Connell. As to myself, the pride of my humble, but I hope not useless, life, is the envy, hatred, and malice, of the friends of despotism and the enemies of Ireland. I have the honour to be, dear Sir, Your faithful servant, Lyons, 6th Jan. CLONCURRY. Lyons, Jan. 4, 1332. SlR,—Yesterday I received your letter of the 31st inst., calling my attention to the proceedings of a meeting that day with the earnest suggestion of the meeting on the subject of an assembly of Irish Members of Parliament in Dublin on the 9th inst., or some other day. I see in the proceedings of the meeting that the proposal for such assembly is attributed by Mr. O'Connell to Mr. Grattan, a gentleman for whom, individually and by inheritance, I feel the highest de gree of affection and respect ; the proposal also ac cards very much with m y own opinion, and was made by me in 1827, on the formation of " The Society for the Improvement of Ireland." It is, therefore, necessary that I should state my reasons for now declining to attend such meeting. They are— First,—That I do not think that, under existing circumstances, such assembly could calmly deliberate or wisely debate the interests of the country, but rather that, under the influence of fear and terror, though with the appearance of free agency, it would aid Mr. O'Connell in either forcing him into office, or of drawing from our poor and generous people a further portion of the wretched pittance remaining to them. Secondly,—lt would, I fear, tend to widen the breach, so very painstakingly made by that gentle man, bet►veen man and man in Ireland. Thirdly,—Of those who attend, courty Members will be supposed to do so only from fear of future elections, whilst those_ who do not attend will be subjectiirgiregifirtiiiiis and- insult, and no individual will be credited for disinterested free agency and patriotism; in fact, it would probably be an as sembly to register the decrees of Mr. O'Connell, most of which have latterly had their origin in sel fishness, in disordered excitement, or in bad passion. It would also look like an attempt at dictation, and a desire to embarrass, at a most critical moment, the only Ministry that, at any time, had deserved the confidence of the country, and the anxious sup port of the friends of rational Government. It is very painful to refuse the request of a meet ing of Irishmen ; it is very painful to me, loving Ire land as I do, to risk the slightest injury to her in terests, by declaring my abhorrence of the present conduct of one with whom, and for whom, I have so often acted ; but it is a paramount duty, and under such circumstances I must not shrink. The best men of the country are driven into pri vacy or into banishment; those who attempt to think for themselves or to beg a moment's cessation from violence, are proscribed; whether the triumph be reserved for Mandeville or O'Connell, the people, their friends, and the Government must perish As to the questions which will, I trust, be fairly debated and honourably supported in Parliament by all Irish Members, and by the King's Ministers, I humbly but earnestly recommend a fair Reform Bill for Ireland, to secure a full, fair, and adequate re presentation of our people in Parliament, with just reference to their numbers, their rights, and their accurately ascertained contributions to the State. A provision for the poor, and for profitable labour, levied on the land. These are the two chief and vital measures which do not admit delay. The en tire nineteen Bills, recommended in 1830, deserve most serious attention,—my opinions as to tithes were published in 1822, they do not, I believe, look selfish for a tithe-proprietor. The Sub-letting Act I would modify as far as it could be modified with justice to the small holders, and yet I am a landlord. The Grand Jury and the Vestry Laws I would abo lish, and yet lam a country gentleman and a Pro testant. What is just and ri g ht, an honest man should not be driven from by any personal feeling, by fear a danger or of undeserved reproach. The folly and ingratitude of O'Connell only affects me as it may injure our common country. Ido not envy him his feelings, if he reflects on the false accusations he would insinuate against me. He lately asked me where 1 was, or what I was doing last year, when he was prosecuted ? I answer, I was fight ing for him with the law officers of the Crown, even to violent and personal altercation, in my endeavours to save him from punishment for an offence to which he had pleaded guilty. He insinuates that I ask favour from the great. I answer, that the only fa vour I ever asked for was for O'Connell, and through the Duke of Leinster, a man not to be shaken in his love for Ireland, his love of truth, and his love of noble independence. I hope, and indeed I almost believe, that O'Con nell forgets when he states as facts, what he knows no rational being could believe; for instance, in his speech on Saturday last, to which you draw my at tention, he asserts, on the pretended authority of Mr- Murphy, that not one in one hundred and fifty cattle are now slaughtered in Dublin that were be fore the Union. Will Mr. Murphy confirm this ? or will O'C onnell say why he makes flee with the names of persons who have character to lose ? He once put my name down for a Wellington tribute ; shortly before he would have me lead the forty shil ling freeholders into rebellion, after having himself trafficked their rights for reasons he best knows.— No man more earnestly joined me at one time in lamenting the injury done to themselves and to the country by the combined tradesmen; yet he soon after encouraged arid excited combination to insult the best Chief Governor Ireland ever saw. lie pre sided at a charity dinner of which I am patron, and omitted " The health of the Chief Governor," the only one, in his station, who ever contributed to the charity. A few months ago he ordered his followers to clamour for "repeal;" but when he hoped to be - PRICE D bought at his own price - he endeavoured to "Burke" their opinions, and only let them breathe again when ',That hope was lost. As to " repeal," I was ever its warmest advo rate.; if I have ceased for one year to do so, it is .because I relied on a patriot .King and a• gOod 111 i, nistiy to render it unnecessary, and becaUle I know that O'Connell has rendered it' impracticable : he lies eicited anger and revived party animosity; he has retidered,.us. totally unfit for self government, whilst his own opinioni vac►iate•bettveen American repUblicailism and the dear lamented despOtism of France. • Let us hope for wiser counsel and for better :tiniei; I knoW'no'slaverY so Alreadful as the 'slavery /of falsehood'', denunciation, and'terror, which O'Cor nell in his. disappointment has .endeavoured to ex. .cite—whether he wisheS that the Government, over: .awed, should:throw themselves into the arms of the' Orangemen, that they should resign to the Tories; or that the Fieople, . excited to rebellion, shOUld de- liver themselves to slaughter, and their country to: know not; bur 1 feel certain that the Idangir Only to be 'aliened 'by the opposition' of all good men to both the factions; by their union ir: defence of order, and by a calm and respectful re presentation of our wants. • 1 do not yet despair of attention and redress—if either be delayed, the fault is theirs who use threats which a man of spirit cannot brook, and to which if a Government yielded it could not exist.

I am, Sir, your faithful servant, James Dwyer, Esq. CLONCURRY. ~ ~ ~~~ TO DANIEL O'CONNELL, ESQ., MP. DEAR SlR,—There is now before me a report o' your speech against a legal provision being made for the Irish poor, delivered by you at the Corn Ex• change on Tuesday last. I have at present no hope of effecting another change in your opinions on this important subject ; and if I allude to those which have taken place in your mind it is not by way of taunt or reproach, but to remind you, and the public also, that your judgment on this matter has not only vacillated, and whatever vacillates is weak, but that it has at different times, whilst the subject remained unchanged, determined itself not in different but in opposite ways. These changes, more over, according to your own avowal, have not been the effect of heat, or passion, or of feeling of any sort ; neither have they resulted from a want of meditation : they have been the fruit of long watchings and laborious reflection. I infer from this, and I say it with all due respect, that whether upon this subject you be right or wrong, you are not an authority to be followed; for authority, to be such, sit( uld be exempt from change. But if I de spair of your re-conversion to an earnest and eager ap proval of Poor Laws (for all this was imported in public letter in which you lately honoured me); and if I do not deem you an authority on this subject, why, it may be asked, do I now address yeu ? Ido so for tile two following reasons: first, to prevent, as far as 1 can, that portion of the public, with whom your opinions are paramount, from being led int error by you; and, secondly, to set free from defa mation that mode of relieving the Irish poor of which I myself, with many honest and able men, have been the consistent and unwearied advocates. But before I proceed to the execution of this task, a task of no easy accomplishment, Of/ account of the paitiiilitiei—arrdlireposseasions linkei to yotir -wage, I must settle with you a principle ot both logic and morals. It is this : if a truth essentially connected wit h the duty of man to God and to his neighbour be established, by the strongest and clearest proof of which any moral truth is susceptible, is it just in reason, or lawful in practice to put that truth in abeyance, to mortify it, to retard or annul its opera tion in the world, because the ignorance, or passions, or interests of some men may be wounded by it, or raise objections to it ; or, because, in its opera tion it may produce not only its own natural good effects, but also become, as Christ himself and his religion have become, an occasion of loss and scandal to many? Your heart, and conscience, and judg ment would all recoil from thus keeping " truth captive in injustice." Arid yet do, I pray you, tell me, or rather tell the public, how you can, consis tently with logic or morals, combat the establishment of a legal provision for the Irish poor, by arraying against it the inconveniences, real or imaginary, which you suppose, in your speeches, would result from it, whilst you leave untouched and unanswered, because they are unassailable and unanswerable, the arguments every day and every where employed by me and others,* to demonstrate the just, the natural, the indefeasible rights of the poor to the necessaries of life in the land which gave them birth? Do, I pray you, answer this que , tion ? All theory and declamation is vain before right reason and before God, however it may seduce the senate or the multitude, if it be not based on un changeable justice. 'When abstract propositions or moral questions are doubtful, we may try the former by an induction to some absurdity, and the latter by showing that, if admitted it would subvert sound morals; but when a truth is proved a priori, when we can point out a clear and necessary connection) between any given proposition, and some indubitable principle from which it flows, its truth should be ad mitted, and all the real genuine consequences of it freely ensbraeed. Thus, if it be proved, and I contend it has been proved that from the attsibuies of God, the nature of man, and the admitted principles upon which all society is founded,—if it be proved from these, that the poor, in every civilized state, should he rescued at the public expense from the pressure of extreme want, it is an error against reason, it is a crime against morality, and an impiety against God, to leave them to perish, or to withhold from them the necessaries of life. And to abet such withholding, by arguments deduced from abuses which arise, not from Poor Laws, but from the ignorance, or frailty, or malice of men, is to abet crime, uphold error, and offend God. This i 3 strong language, but it is the only sword that can be drawn from its sheath in the cause of the poor, against a world which has no God but Mammon, or which, to use the cutting phrase of the Apostle, is all placed or buried in malignity. I now come to examine your speech, a speech not of many words and little thought, as speeches gene rally are, but a speech of great ability, in which are compressed and well-connected the common-place objections against the English Poor Laws. When the Virgin Mother of Christ, at Cana, in Gallilee, asked her Son to change water into wine to relieve the embarrassment of an excellent family, our Lord replied in substance, " what are their af fairs to us ?" In advocating the cause of the poor, whom this Lord has made the heirs of his kingdom, I may well apply his thought, and say of the Eng lish Poor Laws, " what are their abuses to us ?" Yes; and I can justly remonstrate with you and say, for what reason, with what candour, with what re gard to an honest investigation of the question, can you parade before us the supposed abuses of the English Poor Laws, when discussing the principl, of a legal provision for our poor ? In thus acting you defame our views, you malign our purpose, yoit misrepresent to the public our whole plan and sy,- tem of relief for the Irish poor. This is what I de- See Cobbett's a Poor Alan's Friend," an admirable work ; and Alr. Sadler's speeches on this subject, in th• House of Commons. e, ao f opposition from y is-a inode honestlyshuuld recoil. lilt then you who 44 hitherto, p ro d uce d a plan i n cio r l e uo c r‘ a v t - ilf, nature no nci .. o ue of Poor Laws for Ireland, which guarded .Against the abuses your enumerate. - tour avocations, it is true, are Many, and though you may not have read-so 'much as you h ave endowed with almost supers.lmMaitTpowers of appli cation, thought upon this - subject. But leaving cut of view the several plans for relieving our poor, devised a:ad published by many eminent indiiidinals within 'the last feiv years, all and' eat which did provide guards against many abuses prevailing in England, how did it happen that the Bill for the relief of 'he Irish Poor, brought into the last Parliament by Wil liam Smith O'Brien; Esq., and that introduced by the honourable and. patriotic Member for the county Wicklow, to the present - Parliament, both printed by order of the House or CommAns,escaped your notice? I say nothing of. my own views upon Ors sub)-et as given in evidence befere-a Committee of whiCh you were it - member—views to Which you lar'ely'pro fessed yourself a convert,and which if they had any merit, that merit consisted in their keeping altoge ther clear of the abuses - complained of in the Eaglish system of Poor Laws. Mr. O'Brien's Bill kept clear of those abuses, so: did: that'-of •Mr. Grattan. I speak not of the merits of those B lls i►► any oiher ,respect, but they offered you a plari of reliei, frem which the abuses-which terrify you, and I fear affect your judgment, might be or were effectually ex cluded. Where then, is the candour, I will not ,say where is the honesty of the argument, that no man has hitherto produced to you any plan to whtch all the common-place objections to the EugliSh•Poor Laws are not applicable ?. Your favourite objection—that which you have most-frequently brought forward, or allude I to—as the supposed connexion between Poet 'Laws and the deprivation of female virtue. Here you touch a string that vibrates in the heart of every Irishman —perhaps in few of them more loudly than in ae.ne. But I have once before invited you to point out to me this necessary connexion which you suppose to ,xist between a system of relief for our poor, such as I contemplate, and the impairing of the public virtue of our females. You have never pointed out this connexion. I believe you could not do it. I have looked at it in all points of view, and could trot discover it. Produce your argument, and I um tiertake to refute it. Another topic addressed by you to the inflate justice of Irishmen, to turn that vu toe against the poor, is " that some people arc always ready to ex ercise charity by putting their hands into their neighbours' pockets." What is meant by this ? I propose that the solvent inhabitants of every parish elect, annually, it number of rate-payers, to be at once the trustees of the poor and of the parish, with power to compel the absentee, the miser, :Ind the nard-hearted, to share the burden which now falls exclusively on the benevolent and humane. And you call this " putting the hand of a hypocrite Into the pocket of his industrious neighbour, and ac quitting himself of the theft by pleading charity!' Oh justice what folly —nay, what crimes are com mitted in thy name ! You object to the English Law of Settlement, anti to all the litigation and hardships consequent thereon ; and you parade this objection whilst you could recollect, if your memery fail not, that all these hardships and litigation would be avoided by substi tuting what I proposed as a necessary title to relief, " an industrious residence of three years,"—a title borrowed from the Justinian Code, and for ages past in use in Scotland. In like manner, you object to what in some parts of England, but only in some parts, is deemed a great abuse, to wit, " the partial payment of wages out of the poor rare." Mr. Slaney, Member for Shrewsbury, will inform you, if he has not done ,o, that this abuse, if such it be, has arisen in 12'041-- land within the last thirty years, and a clause of fifty words in any Act for the relief of our poor, would render the introduction of this abuse into Ireland impossible. It could find no place in a plan such as that sug gested by me, unless it was volunta r ily adopt e d by the rate-payers of a parish. And yet you threaten 'lreland with this imaginary scourge ! Again, you depict the horrors of a poor-house, and the abandonment of prents by their children. I thought you had relinquished this theme, which ought to be left to your retainers, like that other of " drying up the source of benevolence in the Irish heart," if mendicancy, and vagrancy, and all their concomitant frauds, and vices,' and crimes, did not continue to feed the lamp of human charity in the Christian soul. What man, let me ask, in or out of Ireland, con templates the er ection and support of parish work houses in this country ? You might as well tell the public that poor laws would oblige them to erect pagodas for the Indian gods. But if there be no work-houses or poor-houses lh a parish, and that no separation of children from their parents, or of parents from their children can thus be made, will the son or daughter-in-law be less kind or courteous to the aged mother, because the elders of her parish—the witnesses of her well spent years—may think proper annually to bestow on her a suit of clothing, or afford her some slender comfort in the decline of life. Ah I to collect the public hatred and precipitate it on an institution, if realized, which would nurse, and aid, and comfort all the virtues of the poor, and stand as a watchman to detect etal punish vice, to act thus, whether willingly or unwillingly, is an office which would to Heaven! you had never dis charged. But then you fear that tile poor man, confiding in the legal relief to be secured to him in his old age, would be improvident in his youth, aio.i elpend in the ale-house what he now, through fear of future want, is careful to hoard. In England, where Poor Laws exist, numberless societies of even the labour ing classes, formed for the support of their respec tive members in times of distress are also found. But in Ireland, where the strong stimulus to hoarding or associating, which you imagine grows out of the present enviable state of our poor, no such society exists. How barren of good then must nol your provident principle appear, whereas it bears no fruit. But irony apart. Do, I pray you, reflect a little more on the state of our poor, and the causes of their improvidence, and recklessness in youth and manhood. Du nor impute to them virtues which they have not. Neither are they to be condemned for vices which are not their own, but which have been engrafted on them. You would wish to see them happy and industrious; and yet you defame by unmerited imputations . ft system of relief which would give them a country and a home—which would place them under the protection of the law— which would compel, by the strong motive of self interest, their task-masters to employ and feed them —a system which in fact would raise them from a state of slavery and consequent barbarity to a state of civilization, and to the possession of some human right. You would, forsooth, relieve the sick by drugs, and provide a surgeon, and an asyluto for the mart whose limb was broken; but you would let the widow perish, and the orphan starve, and the aged to look only to Heaven, or live upon the unbroken sympathies of the " Irish heart." Why, Sir, in such a system I can discover neither philosophy, nor religion, nor reason of any sort. By what argument do you pretend to recommend it to the common sense of men ? Upon what principle of morals is it based ? What maxim of right reason does it rest on ? What social or political truth is brought into operation by it ? It is a day-drcam, or an improvirato issuing from the tongue, and, having in it but a chance thought.
