Lord PALMS/TON (who was received with several rounds
of cheering) mid—Mr. Mayor and asetlemee, I beg to rerun
to you my most sincere thanks for the kind wanner in
which this tout has been proposed and received, and I ma
aware yea that a urinary at goodwill from the people of
Merkel must always be most grateful to me. (Cheers.)
I feel under most prelim obligations to the people of this

if, as you did, you accepted me as your member, it °odd

had been snob as to drove your approbation. (Hear.)
1 From time to time it has been • source of great pride and

thanks for the elegy did me the's:room to allude to matters
whirl are the peacoat ear of the minister who fill' the
' olgoe that I do—l mean the choice of the pesnou who are
to fill the high dirtier of the church. Well, I em glad
that the salections whioh I have thought it to be my duty
to make have met with general approval. I bold the tee
of making those selections to be on, of the most important
duties that mm devolve upcm the person who holds the
etre which I have the honor to fill, became there are
many things which depeod upon • good choice. These
aro, to the lint place, the morel and religious bearing oe
the counw7 and on those who are members of the church
of which these persons are chosen to be high dignitaries;
but there is a further bearing of • good selection in these
arse, Oconee in a free country like this, where every man
is entitled to hold hie own opinions, where mite
are accustomed to investigate the grounds of the
opinions which they entertain, or which they may
intend to adopt, there most oreinerily be peat Memnon
on religious sabres. No doubt we might all wish that
the whole nation could bill of one trod. That is intercede;
is a free country ; but what can be does, rid what ought to
biding Is that those whohold high else, &either who are
at the head of the established church, should, by
Heir bearing towards dire who differ from them
In religious opinions, mitigate those differences which
are perhaps inherent in the diversities of opinion
on • subject so important, both hers and here-
after ; that they should, by their more sad bear-
ing towards those of different opinion, reader those differ-
roes as little perceptible as possible, and endeavour to in-
culcate that charity which is the brie dear common reli-
gion. I true and believe that the choke which it
has been my lot to make Ica been mode in the
direction,and that those who have been elevated to fill
high positions in the established church have and will, by
their bearing towards different communions, endeavour to
prove that although each may be sincere is holding opinions
at orison one with soother, they will, nevertheless, all
feel that there are common feelings, common intern* and
cannel obligations which pervade the main, and that those
feelings, interests, and obligations ought oat to be embit-
tered by any asperities between different weds. (Chars.)
