Many of you may imagine that I have head massy
discreet observations from friends, or professed
friends of mine, regretting that I have permeated
to stand for-,Westminster, on account of Shitiate-
ness of my canvass, the irresolution of others, and
the probability of my want of success. Gentlemen.
I have upon this subj.!! to remark, that I shall
never regret I have stood a Candidate upon this
occasion, as I shall ever recoiled, with heartfelt:
satisfadion, what I have done, when
here to address you from these Huttiriell
shall always feel pleasure in red sing that I bevy
here uttered sentiments favenrable se the cause of
freedom and liberty, and tending to advance the
cause of humanity and independence, sentiments
which have been listened to by you is a •
highly gratifying to my heart, and muds

I have had an cpportunity of vindicating the as.; -

have been foully aspersed in regard to the sll.gsd
assistance afforded me in the lam 1110114 ; I sead

machinations of certain individuals, have • '

we have driven away for ever. That has been dm
cry which has been used in initiate mots of did
country, for the purpose of excluding. from thO
House of Commons, those men who were the bmg
calculated to assert with spirit and jest dam '
ti ns, the cause of Liberty and :he Rights at
People. (Lad strlanwiems red apples,*) A
these men, I may reckon Lord William Ra ;4,
who has been excluded from Surrey i Mr. Fa.
from Yorkshire; and Col. Graham, from P
a gentleman, possessed of as gallant and stalk WI
mind as ever represented any county. I allty eh*
enumerate amongst these lames, the now of Mr.
Roscoe. a man who has strenuously exerted himself
in the abolition of the Slave I rade ; yet that excel*
lent man. Mr. Roscoe, has bees driven from Lives%

have had, by fair andli*seral expostulation, in prevail.
bag upon the Noble Lord to desist from persevering
in those unfounded charges which he ventured to
bring Untwerd against a venerable Naval Odmer,
whose name never can be mentioned but with gripe

who are unacquainted with his real chaoaatee. I
never can regret, that I have prevailed upon the
Noble Lord to desist from enumerating *Jigged
abuses. and shunning a line of condo& ethiellt
could only be att-tided with dangerous and alb
chierrons maseqwencee. I never shall wires, that
I have endeavoured to execute a duty which I owed
to the memory of an individual, who has ever bast
nearest to my heart, and whose mentor, I Ana
ever revere. to the Last moment of my life.
I say that I shall never repent that I haws
embraced this opportunity of coming forward to
vindicate the mem-ry, chorea r, and honour, elf
Charts Fax, the late Representative of this city of
Westminster. However this contest may end. I
shall never, for these reasons, regret that I have con.
