'fie Society which, ender the specious and im-
Oohing title of " a Constitutional Associatiou,". has
undertaken to control the public p►e.a of this coun-
try, has re-published in some of the Ministerial Pa-
vers a copy of the original address ow the first eats-
bliahasest of this system, and also a long list of the
Noblemen and other persona who have subscribed
their• Inouey for its support. The publication of
this entalogue of names is no doubt intended at the
present moment to operate as so answer to all the
serious charges that have been addressed in end oat
of Parliomeot to the principle ond• spirit of this
association. The list, we readily admit, contains
the games of many individuals emineot no km in
rank than in Irritate merit, but the respectability
4tiiit of their characters esunot divest the assotriation
4 the original vice that is essential to the principle
of its existence: The association consists of some
hundreds of persons of various classes of society,
whom epithets* and modes of action are no doubt
as far removed from each other so am the several

hasdeisted in uttconseitts' familiarity with men
nowise remarkable for their observance of moral
'dihipline, the trifler of the west end of the town
with the plodding calculator of the alleys, Lord.,
Commoners. General., Aldermen, Admirals, Tree-
Miry scriber, a French Lady of quality, a bltuister
of the Crown. sundry Lawyers, a large assortment
of young Ladies. with a variety of letters purport-
log to be the initials of names which .the .owners
eete•ashamed of acknowledging before the public.
Itiamasseciation composed of such motly materiel.,
it is too enrich to expect of the, public that it will
rest satisfied with the sssumptiuu of so formida-
ble a power by an utruuthorised society of indi-
eidisals, solely because iu so large a list saay be
found the names of some petsons of acknow-
lidged integrity. Who can guarantee the judi-
,tions exercise of the discretion which' they have
:mistimed. or assure the public that the mallet-
*nee - and power of the whole body will be ex-
erted by the authority of the particular individuals
who one pot forward to-sanction the principle and
object of the association'? Are not the ample
-funds of the society, with the exercise of its no-
minal discretion, at this moment lodged in the hands
of a single attorney ; end such being the fact, is it
not as. absurdity to talk about the respectable
names which are to be found its the association ?
These 'distinguished persons do not direct or con-
trol the proceedings of this society ; they know
-nothing of the party who is marked out for petse-
coition. nor *of the particular publications which is
to be presented to the Grand• Jury as a libel ;
they have not taken the trouble to ioquire into the
man's general ch4racter—into the eiscumstances of
his domestic affairs—whether he away have erred

they in consequence of such anxious investigation
• finally resolved its a full meeting of the body to
measure their united strength with his iudivistuid
