=ALSO—
My Nobs, whFh we rFad of the horrors of an
earthquakejn Sicily, or of a devaluating eruption
from ZEtna or Vefuvins, or of a hurricane in the
Weft-Indies, or of a famine in the Eart; of a
plague in Turkey—our blood chills with horror,
our hearts melt with pity, our bosoms glow with
wishes to alleviate the dittrefs even of our fellow
men in foreign and b:rbarors climes; But, my
Nobs, by what secret principle of philosophy is it
that out perverse nature catches the focus of dis
tant mifefy, from the mere mirror of a -printed
narrative, yet seems insensible to the horrors of
famine and peflilence that surround us at this mo
nient—and daily sweep away numbers of those
poor but valuable artisans, which with proper at
tention and common justice might live to contri
bute their virtuous and ingenious labours to the
prosperity of their country? e
My Nobs, I hold in my hand R petition to this
House from the widows, orphans and surviving
tradesmen and mahufafturers of the liberty, in
Which we fit, Dating to your Wigfhips, that they,
and their whole community, have been, for abo\ e
three months part, in an a&ualßate of famine and
peflilence, if the total want of food, and all means
of purchasing it, and the consequent affliftiohs of
dysenteries and ptitrid fevers, which carries them
off by thirty or forty in the week, can be so cal
led. They fl^te that every day aggravates their
increasing misery, so that death now forms the
only cqmoling object in the dreary profpelt be
fore them ; and they pray to be heard at your
bar, by their zealous 2nd oft fuccefsful advocate,
Dr. Kirvart, in,hopes to induce your Wigfhips not
to reject aq Union, (for well they know their
pray ers wduid be ineffectual, and bring Upon them
the charge of difaffe<ftion, jacobinifo, and Rebel
lion) but in hopes of inducing your Wigfhips, at
the fariie time that you are tomplaifantly and con
descendingly pleased to vote away your own hon
ours, birth-right, and privileges, together with
the freedom and the prosperity of -Pimlico, ih
compliment to the opinions and projects of an
Oxmantonian Minister. You will^racioufly please
to grant to ,our ftafying and expiring Petition
ers, some portion of relief and compensation, for
the misery your Votes for this Union have, in the
very contemplation of the measure, a whole year
previous to its adoption, already brought upon
them and their deferable families, by the priva
tion of employment and food.
I am to ptetnife, my Nqbs, that it is highly pro
bable none bf the names of your poor Petitioners
have appeared to any address in tasor of Union.
They may-in many inftancel have grinned at the
measure, like the unfortunate mah ydur Wigfhips
ordered to J>e difeharged from cullody. They
may not have lent their support to the popularity
of the Senefchal, nor yoked themfejves tb the car
riages of those men who tiavebeen the firft to pro
pose, arid most prominent to support this measure
of Uftion. The days are gone by, when the Se
nefchals of Oxmantown used to think the Poeons
of the populace auspicious to their popularity, or
were ambitious of those triumphs diftinguifoed by
the brakings of a duped rabble of Pimliconian
manufa&urers, yoked to their chariot wheels ;
THEIR Wigfhips being assembled and prayers
being devoutly read to implore the Divine inspir
ation for the guidance of their wife councils to the
maintenance of their own honour and dignity,
1 The Mufti took the Meat-bag at the usual
hour. ~.i. —j
The Duke of Erin rose and said—" My Nobs,
I underhand that one of the leading preliminaries
of the proposed union with Oxmantown, which
is to catt on this House. an indelible slain of difhon
our, and on this country a woeful system of mis
fortune; is to. be compensation to the great and
fmaW officers of this andof another House of Par
liament, for the loss they will foftain in privation;
of salaries—and I also underhand that an indifyen
fible accompaniment of; ,the measure is the com
pensation of those warden . mongers, who drive
their political cattle into another House of Par
liament, as if it were into Smithfield, and there
fell them to the Seneschall's Steward to be told
off in a majority for this odious measure, and that
those degraded have merchants, are not only to
have the honour of elevation to blank peerages in
this House, or other honourable diminutions else;
where, but they are to b^ve ten years purchase as
the wholesale price of tlieir corruption, inflead of
retailing it the Minister—by the jeffon.
But, my Nobs, I have not heard of any compel
fation proposed or intended to those traders, manu
fafturers, or house owners in the greets or vicini
ties of Pimlico, whose bpfinefs and property will
be ruined by the measure. ....
I have not heard of any contyenfation proposed,
or intended, to the thousands of poor induitnous
working manufacturers, Who.are already, even in
the very contemplation of the measure driven out
of all employment and doomed to perish in sick
ness and famine, with their miserable families.
I have not heard of any compensation proposed,
,or intended, to that numerous class of honest and
industrious fanners and hoibandmen, who under
the flourifhing profpeas of wealth and prbfperity,
which so very few years since, gilded the horizon
of Pimlico; and on the Faith of perpetual protec
tion from this Parliament to the agriculture and
trade of this realm, wefre, induced to take long
leases of their grounds at quadruple rentes—Rely
ing on the ready markets and flowing wealth of {
Pimlico for their compenfatioif—but which mark
ets and wealth are now condemned to decay; by
the votes of those very men who live and, move bn
the rack-rents paid them by those ihduflrrous ten
ants.

[I DOL. 50 CTS. PER ANNUM
and, indeed, if the illustrious agent of this measure
was air bitious of such a triumph, famine and des
pair have preceded him, like harbingers afnbngft
the miserable wretches who could be his fupport
<rs, and he must be content to exhibit in his trains
not a roaring mob of exulting, becatife jree anu
prosperous artizans, but a chain of wretches, such
as serve to Iwell the triumph, and follow in the
train of an Eafiern Conqueror, squalid with lick
ne^ and famine, and keeping in their tears the
scanty morsel that prolongs their miserable exig
ence. I move ycut Wigfhips that this Petition be
now received.r
The Archbishop of Crumlin.—lt is but i
few days, my Nobs, since your Wigfhips had oc
casion to notice a very firong spice ot democracy
which had obviously crept into the speech of.thd
Noble Duke, on the fubjeft of this molt wife and
salutary measure of Union ; and in truth, my
Nobs, the speech your Wiglhips havejufl heard
from his Glace, does hot go to extenuate the
grounds his former speech exhibited as to the de
mocracy of his principles.
My Nobs, I very much doubt, whether it is all
confident with the principles of the Pimliconian
Constitution, for any Noble Nob to rife in this
House a§ the advocate of the rabble ; for, my
Nobs, what are their dfflreffes to us ; we ate not
Commoners, we have nothing to do with the thijd
estate; and however we may be difpoled to attend
to the claims of, the decayed Aristocracy of Pim
lico, sentimentally couched on gilt paper, and ad
drefled, not to this House, but to out breakfaft
tables /—However toe may be disposed to extend
our private gener'ofities to those fluttered shreds
of quality; who are too highly minded to sloop to
induflry, though not at all ashamed to beg. I fay,
my Nobs, tho' we may give our donations to
paupers of this tall, whether in the Ihara obliging
loans, or fbbfejiptions to novels or poems never
to be published, or for tickets to balls or concerts,
never to be realized, or as contributions for imagi
nary families in diilrefs ; yet my Nobs, ihis has
nothing to do with the rabble, who are beneath
our conliderationi
Let the rabble teed itfelf ; and if they procreate
too faft, so as to out breed their means of fubhlp
ence or employment, it is a political evil which
will soon remedy itfelf. Population will always
find its own level, and square its dimenfjons to the
produce and mearis of employment in a country ;
and if a temporary famine or peflilence sweeps
away the fuperabundancy of population, the more
food and employment is left for those Who sur
vive.
There is another argument, irv Nobs, which
must, I think, totally defeat the object of the No
ble Duke; and preclude the reception of this Pe
tition. The Noble Duke must know, that your
Wigfhips are not allowed to put so much as a sin
gle finger into the purse of Pimlico, and therefore,
that any grant your Wigfhips might be inclined
to vote, Would be but a new handle for ir.fult to
your dignity, from the fancy exertion of privilege
in abojher House.
So far, my Nobs, as to the general motives w hich
in my mind fbould decide your Wigfhips against
the Petition. But there is another so lingular),
obnoxious to the Reverend Bench on Which I fit,
that I find it peculiarly my duty to resist the Pe
tition altogether. I mean the prayer of the Pe
titioners to be heard at yodt barrier by an advo
cate so highly obnoxious to ns, my Nobs.
What would they bring t<, your barrier a man
reeking as it were from the trojan, pulpit*-a man
who is as it were a fort of ecclefdfiical Buona
parte—A man whose talents and whole praftice
have been calculated to revolutionize our estab
lished fyllem of preachinp-#-to banish from our
'pulpits thefober andfombrd decency of monoto
nous sermons, croaked out in sepulchral tones,
and calculated to Jotnnambz^ize our devout con
gregations into holy apathy hud pious fiumbers^—
And to ftbftitute in P place)he indecent energy,
the oratoric fire, and the dazzling eloquence of a
Maffillon, calculated rather |o inflame the heart:
with religious frenzy, and-empty the pockets into
the coffers of public charity, than to sober the
brain, to cool the fancy, and Sped holy laudanum
upon the heart and feelings.—yA man, my Nobs,
who has already pulled down the public rever
ence for orthodox stupidity in our pulpitt-and
thus hruek at the very root of an eflablifhment,
which afforded an aflylom for all the dunces and
drones,of genteel families, Unfit for all other pur
ftiits of profeffions—and opened a door to let in
genius and personal merit, from,be ranks of de
mocracy to encroach upon the privilege of dull*
nefs.=- My Nobs, such a man I regard £ s an inno
vates, highly injurious to our eftllnWnent ; and
I never shall content to bis appearance at your
barrier, to di^atefe/ing/ to tnis House, and per
haps use the opportunity of preaching at me and
my reverend brethren.l
The Duke of Erin rose to etpl^n, and assure
the reverend Peelate, he meant to urge the House
to any attempt of violating a conftitntioual privi
lege—by attempting to relieve tty petitioners
from the public putfe. He meant only that noble
Nobs should put their hands into toeir pockets,
and contribute personally and privately to the al
leviation of their mifefy. Tne benevolence of the
reverend prelate and the Bench he ffoke front—
His Grade knew was exerted in such a variety of
ways, in the cause of charity, that he would not
hope for a very large contribution on the present
occafion.-feHe Would however implore their bene*-
Welton on the petition,'and hoped that tn^s forti
fied it could not fail of fuCcefs. N
His Grace of Crumlin said, he would veninre
to answer far that, on the part of his reverend
brethren, provided the Advocate proposed was
not permitted to appear. ',
The Duke of Erin said he Was fully Satisfied to
waive the advocacy he proposed, if noble Nobs,•
would take the advocacy of the Petition on their
own feelings, and support the fubferiptiou forth
with.
