It is laid slow. by some of those whiecootinua iu
the track its which Ire moved, who has left behind
him his description of the offiee of J ostice at Peace,
that it is or cessary that privilege« should be vested
in an assembly of the unequivocal Representatives
of the people, that it is impossible to surrender
them, but that they are to be cautiously evere;,..
by the warquieotisl Representatives of the people.
This optiiiou accords with the character of England
in ancient tunes, and as my ancestor ws :;.• of the
favosinte instruments of Queen Elizabeth, by
which she liaised to imitrens Ireland with a
similarity of character. I will I,rove to her that the

For tins purpose, I do not call her sons, the sons of
Elio, or talk to her übont shillelagh; but do say,
that she laments, and has reason to lament. that
Abeenti s nate cut down so much of her oak, and.
I add, that she will hear me with approbation, when

that Senate so constituted, as to satisfy me that it

would be difficult to convince me, that I ought, its

whose example had formed smother Westmin-

of Elizabeth. and ackisowledged in those of Wil-
liam 111. in presence of whose statue the Decla-
rater, Act was re:waled by the irresistible force
of Genius, of Eloquence, and Troth. It seems
to be useless to look for further proof of the ne-
cessity of radical Re form, than an apparent sense,
(and tiro is on natural iu the rot!eit borough) that
the riprin' rand of a Seliator, by a Senate, is slot suf-

Treason. There are some obese minds inherit so
