Mr. flows Vans said, that unanimity was meet desir-
able so all, he and every gem leman around him would moat
willingly slow ; mithiug could prove more grateful to untie
ferliugs than to approach the throat with loofessisiti( of
loyalty mid altachateut to the mrsus of the Moosselo, and
of a dem convictiou of the itecessity of the saanstemtate of
their principles by which the stability of the comditution
is guaranteed and secured. But, at the same time, with-
out any disposition tu disturb that harmony be wished to
see prevail, lie could not imagine that any isuosaties. of
disloyalty could be made towards those who felt themselves
couscirotiously obliged to oppose the principles oa which
the present Address was fouuded, and to them
effusions of loyalty that expression of sumaly aid indepeu-
dent sentioseut which it ought to be the duty, is he hoped
it would be the iucliastioe, of such an assembly as the
present to express. Loyal Addresses had unquestionably
bee. carried to the Throne from almost every other couuty
of Scotland. and it must thus be thought iscumbeut tin
them to adopt Addresses of a similar character to those
geuerally passed elsciihere; but if reasons 'should be offered
fur souse venial' in the lose and seillosteut of ties
Address issuing from the comity of Lanark, he did not
think that the maintenance and the manly expreseiou of.
these reasons would justify ass impi•achnstot of 'twit loy-
alty, but would rather prove thast they, wise guided. by the
unerring dictates of principle, and as hoard musks, su

policy winch the existiog crisis imperiously required.—

prodared it, or the peculiaritks by which et was Junin-
lie should like to behold some deviation from
these loyal effspoions, which exhibit a servility and an adu-
lation truly lamentable and diegracefal.—(Near, Artor.)--.
Aitil, theielore, he would wish some semisweet, iiiiroduced

they were offer. d, anti creditable so the priiiciplea of the
people from ottani they proceeded. Gentlemen most be aware
that meetings are now assembled, glut with the mar purpose
of offering to the Throne mere assurancei of their loyalty;
but that the object of the prevent Addresses waa more tu op.
hold the King's Ministers, than so • spresa attachment sod
fidelity to him.. If; and the Suveieign, be rat persuaded, mast
have seen that the Addresses that have gime from Seutlaud,
are Inure expressive of loyalty to his Administration, than of
loyalty towards himself—(Neer, kedr.)-10 the amendment
be was about to offer there would be nu reference to the psi,

After rradiag the Aniendmealatile Non. Gentleoma stated,
that it had suggested many toples to his sand, whirls be

in« of others.
Mr. klossonW, of Aochterfardie, rose to second the
Asseurlineni, and did mot dusk 11 necessary toe him to take
up the time of the meeting, Maori the Humuralik Gentle-
nom oho preceded itiss bed oltemly spoken at great Issigth.

nions wouti‘coullue themselves as much as possible to the
subject, ane he proposed 'that none should be allowed to

ed Com what be saw that various Geotlemen intended to
speak wpmu the sahjeci, and be feared very ouch list this
meeting mould terminate if Geatlenseu in their speeches
were sot fixed dorm to a crania time.

Mr. LOCKILINT, RI Cainbassetihms, begged leave to ask
whether all lime reel GI the origiaal Address after the Ilmit
clause was to be omitted, amid whether the Amendment was
to be inserted after the first claim, without preserving any
alter part of the original Address!—(Nola )
Lord BELUATIII affirmed the Honourable Gentleman
that the Magdalen' awned by hlr. Maps Vere eselsok4 every
'Aber pert of the original Address, musepting tally the find
paragraph i 'bat it followed the first aragespli, aed along
with it made the amended Address.
Mr. C a STIRLING, of Kenustir, agreed with Mr.
Meseernan ea the •proaiety of bit suggestion, as to speaking
aw lager than Afters minute, and he would easily finish
walla bad iu say is less lime. He thought that Mr. Hope
Vera had totally mistioderstood llie original Address. He
had assumed that the origival Address alleged the country to
be is a deecoulesseei state, when no such aseertion was to be
found iu it. The Amendeneut proceeded spun that assump-
las, but the Adders* itself was totally free from it. II
moray asestiolied attempts to mislead, and atts mpts of the
•• yetssa-to demoralise, but did sot acestee the country of
beteg *affected. The Amendment goes rourb further las
tie VOldress, and asserts that these attempts haves istaajall

Me. W. INGLIS slated, that if say thing bad been wasting
'to Prierec-That the Address unstained what his Hos. Friend
,had hawed toit,Alte last speech bad settled that peat, laud
,bad made it perfectly plea that doe Adana ieepeached the
:loyalty of the papa ma the artily of the FRess. He was
sure that they all felt loyalty and attachment to the King

day. 1101 is a free caste?, such as this, we ought to 40
something more thas mud" exams loyalty sad attachment :
and when wiestitas is made .the spirit of discontent and
attempts to mislead, weal& to examine lido the nature of
that saris' audit the measures which have produced it. As
. Ibis was nut dime I. the Address, be was sure that there had
been " a blast from the Treasury."—(eserfaiins mid
chears,)-11 was prepared merely to meet a certain purpose.
. No perms cis deny (of all the honourable men to whom he
. was oppueed) that it has beet gut up merely to 'airport "a
loitering Adminisiration."—(Hoer, hear, and much eta.
issour.)-1f 'hie be sot tee ease, the preset tosettleg has nu
meautog at all, sad is uuneeessary altogether, as no person
will feel 'milord to believe that the Consibutios is iii such
hassimeat damper from Isere " attempts," as to render it
necessary to address the Sovereign so repeatedly and so
urgently. The suppoeters of the Address mast 'lmo that
there is some special reason at present fur expressing our
stlabarat. This reason was said to be attempts to infuse
into the moods of the people sedition, disloyalty, and immo-
rality. How are we to address his Majesty for mere at-
tempts ? If this be a good reason, there can never be either
cud of ur interruptien to addressing. Bat it is plaits that
these attempts, are presumed to have been sucestaful, and
Wag they have beets listened to at this time by the people.
This is the basis upon which ilia Address is founded, 'CO. he
. foonded on any tiring. And what is this but aceuriag the,
people, is as ambiguous, ruand-about, and timid meaner,
of dialoyalty, and of being disaffected ? This is curtly the
statement of his Hon. Friend, and he mast agree with hint
is thinking that ass aceasation is untrue. The Provost of
Glasgow kauves that his large vows and the country around
are at preseut quiet, although some time ago treason was
afloat to it. The events of Bunny mule, however, had always
appeared to him to be more like the acts of homey then of
luaus. And the Learned Lord Adair/rue would not have
acted with NO mach temper and modulation, if he had sot
kuuon that the great body of the people were sound. The
diaaffectios of the press' lime was of a different kind, mid
arose merely from the sets of the present Adminiet ration
(Elsa, hair).—and that divaffeetion may be easily removed
by a change of measures and of men.—(Gesat noise and
ceetplete uproar.)
Lord BuLtuven begged that the meeting would listen to
the Chairman wham they themselves bad chosen, and that if
they dud nut, nothing would induce him to keep his preset,'
✓ituatiou. He begged, therefore, that the meeting would be
quiet, in order most all might hear wbat tbeGtoilClll4ll was
saying.
Mr. INGLIS proceeded to observe, that the original Ad-
dress held out that tbe people were well pleamd with the
preseut Administration, which be did sot see how any person•
could maintain fee a moment. He gave the Ministry full
credit fur restoring peace to Europe, but could nut say
that the Ministry fought the battle of Waterloo in Dimities-
street. He would rallies say that it was won by the exti•sordi-
vary and sinexarapkel brewery of our troops. When, how-
ever, he considered the acts of the Administration since that
lime, be could de nothing bat heap living coals of fire upon
their beads. How did they behave when employed in fram-
ing the Treaties.of Pence
Mr. CHARLIM STMLINO, of Kenmisir, here asked whether
the 13 moinies were elapsed or not ?—(A /000.)
Lord BILLNAVILN auswered, that Mr. Mossusan besot only
proposed that plan, but be did sot understand that it hit
been literarily agreed to by time meeting. His day, as their
Chairman, would not allow bun to interrupt any Gentleman
for mere length of speaking. They might speak till twelve
o'clock at night, although he was as anxious as any Gentle-
man could be to sit there as short a lime as possible.
Mr. Mousse bete put his motion as to the IS minutes,
and Mr. DICKSON, stn. of Illartree, Advocate, seconded it.
Lord BaLoseta slated, that there was already a motion
b. fuse the mei tiag, made by Mr. Hope Veer when be
brought forward his amendment t and teat until tip' Eau-
tient was discussed and disposed of, be felt it to be his duly
to poi nu other.
Mr. INGLIS again monied, and slated that be must ab-
stain Aeon saying more, and leave unfinished what he iu-
tended to state. He approved of the Amendment, and would
sapped it. He 'bullet' that it would be indecent and hole.
