t Mr. Roebuck .aid,—l em not to be the member for Bath.
(Shame). I want to say to you two or three things that I
wish you to hear and remember, as the words of a friend
about to leave you—without considerations of personal
tepid favour, or affection, but as the legacy of one,
who after 16 years of faithful service, has met with
this strange reward. (Shame, shame.) I wish to say some-
thing to you which you may remember, and something which
you may apply; Now, listen to the word. which I utter.
Why have I been defeated? (Bribery, bribery.) Why, not
by bribery, but by bigotry. Now, understand me, when I
say these last words which you will bear from me. (We hope
not). They will be; but understand them and apply them.
Why have I beam defeated? I have been the friend—(cries
of " Silence.") Don't en Siloam; he who does so makes
a noise and prevents me from being heard. Now, under-
stand why it is that I have been defeated—why I wish to
leave you a legacy which shall explain the cause of my
defeat. Things hare occurred within the last few years
affecting the religious prejudices of certain particular comma.
piths. Of these certain persons have sent me letter of
approval and satisfaction and grateful thanks ; and
the foremost of them was the head and pastor
Unitarians of this town, Mr. Merril. Nat long sines that
gentleman sent me letters of approval and thanks for
all that I had done in that remarkable cass—the
Dissenters' Chapels Bill. (" He does not represent the
Unitarians.") Never nand that. He is the head of the
Unitarians; he is the pastor of the Unitarians of this
town. Let me tell you the history of his doings. Some
months ago he wrote a letter to me—and I have that letter
hy me now—thanking me for my services in this matter.
(Great excitement.) Silence, my friends. Now listen
to me, I beseech you. You are all my friends here. I
entreat you to be silent, for my voice is not as a speaking-
trumpet ; and as a personal favour, I ask you not to
interrupt me. Mr. Murch, months ago, sent me a
letter of thank., and I have that letter by me now—
for that I had braved, and courageously braved, the
feelings of the great body of the dissenters on behalf of
that small body composing the Unitarians. Now, when
I came the other day to Bath, in what is called the Liberal
Association, I these found Mr. Murch with pencil in hand,
noting down and talking of offences which I had committed
against him, Mr. Murcb. Now what were these offences?
That I had not kept my temper. My tempser ? My temper
is not moved by the backwardni se of the dissenters ;
and I appeal to all who hear me cow, most particularly,
whether there is anything in my personal conduct
which can give offence to any human being. (No, nol.
Well, then, /dr. March, the Unitarian preacher, and head
of the congregation, chose to take offence at my personal
conduct, and he and Mr. Wilson Brown, and Mr. Norman,
are the three persons who have contributed to my defeat
—a whig, a dissenter, and a waiter on Providence—
Mr. Norman, the whig; Mr. Murch, the dissenter; and
Mr. Wilson Brown, the waiter upon Providence. (Loud
cheers.) Now understand what lam about to my. My
voice is failing me; and when I see so many thousand friends
around me, and feel that I am unable to make myself heard,
I have that within my heart and spirit which I wish I could
communicate to you. Understand me when I tell you that
the liberals have been defeated by the Town.hall. I was
returned many years ago, because I was the tried enemy of
the twin of Bath. (Cheers.) But you will no longer hare a
free representative; for my hen. and noble friend Lord Dun-
can is too honest to represent you long. (No, no.) I and he
have upheld the liberal pony here. I—and I speak it not in
vanity—have been its principal support; and now I am re-
moved, he who has been its second pillar will soon be
crushed. I now, gentlemen, bid you adieu. (No, no.)
Again I shall not appear here. /deny constituencies will
ask, and demand, and require, such a representative as I
have been to you. And they who, after 15 years of service
have rejected me in their hearta—let theirs be the shame
red the scandal which will be rendered by others esking me
spin to appear in the House of Commons. But, gentlemen,
'Mee no am tion to appear there. I want—and I hop,:
the reporters will take this—to be released from attendance
is the House of Commons. My only hope is in quiet,—my
desire is literally for ease,—my pleasure is in my family,—
my hope is in contentment and quiet. Fero you well.
(Strong expressions of sympathy).
