OEXTLEME.S,
AFTER a long and arduous service for the space of
tbiriv-six years, as one of ynar Representatives, I feel I shall
be cninpeliPd, on site dissolution of Parliament, to retire from that
post of honour and distinction to which you have raised me. I
entertain the deepest sense of gratitude for the undiminished at-
tachment of my numerous friends, in pressing upon me a renewal
of the high responsibilities of the sithation I am about to leave ;
and most proud and happy should I be to second their wishes,
were my health and energies equal to so important a charge, but
age and infirmity have too much broken the one, and exhausted
the other. With respect to my past political life, I refer you to
my ars; they are its best illustrations, and more powerful than
any words of mine, and in their appeal to your enlightened judg-
ment, I only ask for the same liberal consinietion I have been
ever ready to place upon the conduct of those who have conscien-
tiously differed from me—glorting, as I do, in the wisdom of a
Constitution, that, while it originates a diversity of opinion, en-
courages its free and full expression within the bounds of reason
and justice.
I have been constantly watchfill of your local interests, your
chartered rights, and civic pritileges, and my hand has incessantly
lahoured to guard them from every encroachment, and to give only
a broader eatensioa to their benefit. %Volt a bosom glowing in
loyal affliction to sit Sovereign, I have devoted myself to the sup.
port of those gram and sand principle% by which the matchless
fabric of the Established liaverninetit of these Realms. in Church
and State, is based in the heats of a free and happy people : nor,
in my exultati rt on the triumph of these principles, can I forget
thou severe !Mall which proved their purity and power. as well as
the faith aid sincerity of my own advocacy of them—even through
the dark and appalling titres that are past, when infidelity and
etentoerstial frenzy spread desolation over a neighbouring country,
when the contagion almost reached the heart of our own land, in-
sinuating itiAlinio tile flzet—when the religion of our altars, and
the peace of our !ire-sides were threatened with destruction—when
the arts or the arms of an intriguing or conquering despot had
either weakened the good faith of our allies, or strengthened his
armies against us with the increase of millions; it was through
such times I stood ionexible and firm in the avowal of the same
opinions I now hold, and which (under the administration of
those highly.W.fted Rulers with whom it has been my happi-
ness to associete) have enabled the bark of the State to weather
the storm; and, after a lung and harassing, though spleneid
war, to anchor at last In the haven of an honourable and glo.
rMus peace.
And non, Gentlemen, after performing my duty to you and my
country with an unshriiiking and unwavering spirit. I retire in the
calm of the assurance that you will entrust your liberties and pri-
vileges only to men who will keep and watch over them with a
Isisattlfieut wad *kat eye, wails, was 1 may be. pmatitted to
repeat the old prophesy, in which my faith strengthens u my years
decline-- - .

That as long as there is concord and union of heart and
hand at home, there is no species of apprehended danger from
which Env:lan:l, so great in her own resources. shall not arise,
Lke the pliant,' from the fire, with a free and unscorelied wing."
I beg to renew me licirtfelt thanks for your long-continued kind.
mists. and niter my best prayers for your happiness as men, and
your prosperity as a comninnii y.
I now take my leave, subscribing myself, Gentlemen,
• You faithful and grateful servant,
11,1. TA 31 CURTIS.
