—.Somebody, for aught I know, may be now swearing
on his °pin ttttt . that our isseriiiig •,ill,.he dirks, end

Such events may now lie passing before those wise
men, and we nosy hr the siciims. If arrests are to
follow opiotims which find a place in other men's
bemilis, there is an end to liberty—but there can he
no end to the commis of infamous Mud Illegal
proceedings. S wicked and foolish scribe in
The Courier has immitiated as much as that it
ire*, the intention of the military to assassinate Mr.
Hunt at the meeting in Manchester. —( Cries of
•• Shame .'")-1 tris.t Mild hope, that even the Man-
Cbister yeomanry will wipe off such an imputation
from their character; above all, let Englishmen
beeilkiliMsl, that trit'resit English soldier is smell-.
Caned in these transactions—these base and cowardly
proceedings. —(Continued shouts of iipplusise.
Let them have the honour who won it by their gal-
lant attack upon a defenceless throng of utioffending
men and women!! 1 hope this find libel—this
calumny on the yeomanry of Manchester will
be wiped away. There is something so shucking
iu the very idea of contemplating Ilse awassioation
of an ussarmed mass, that the heart of man shrinks
I from it. I even hope and trust these Manchester
yeomanry will throw the foul libel hack in the
teeth of The Courier scribe. Whatever be the
glory of the day, let the yeomanry have it—it
does not, thank God, belong to the English
soldier, who maintained his country's honour
throughout the wurld—whose name all over Eu-
rope is synotsimous with ass unconquerable spirit—
and who is not more spoken of iu his own COllll.
try than he is, as 1 know, in foreign climes,
for his valour in battle, and for Isis humanity,
generosity, and forbearance, when theloe no longer
resists. —/ Load shouts of applause.)—Let us not

his valour and renown as for his lisimonity
sod forbestraisce, assign any part of the utfair
at Manchester, let the yeomanry alone have the
°sent and glJry of the test—" let those who
have plucked this bloody honour wear their
dignity without corrival."—(Great applause.)-
1 think Mr. Hunt on that trying occasion conducted
himself with great propriety. I shall neither look
backward or forwsrd, 1 shall be ever found to
praise the Englishman that doe. his duty-1 think
