above all hypocrisies, they have scorned religious hypocrisy,
He bad said this was not the best time fur such an
Address. He knew there was a base faction in the coun-
try, who, taking advantage of the stale of the public
mind, eudeavoured to eugraft their detested shoots
open the noble stock of British feeling, and hoped to
gather the fruit into their awn lap. He lamented that ths

could mot be carried to the Throne. There was one inter-
esting question, which Parliament aloet tan put an cud
to—an effervescence which would cease if the iagredimits
were saOred to subside. The original Address could
not please the Sovereign by telling him that his people were
diaeoeteisted„ and it would virtually be a stigata,upon his
Kimble's. He (Mr. 0.) had been taught never to impute
had motives to others; he, therefore could believe that those
persons who diffi.red from his Majesty's Ministers were quite
as loyal se the Reitepitiouiste, to whom he would say—do
do sot iafiinge she Brat principle of religion, that of doing
to other, as ye would they should do unto you.—(Cheers )
RALPH Benson, Esq. exhorted the meeting to unanimity.
As the original Address did not mention or allude to his
Majesty's Iffisistorx, be dill not nee that it could be coo-
Weed into apprehatioa of their conduct. Be should not
object to the adoption of part of the amendment, omitting
all reference to the Ministers.
J. Urns*, Esq. could not help agreeiag with the Re-
veered Gentleman who had just sat down, that the country
was more loudly called upon to vote an Address twelve
months ago. Yet if it was more loudly called for the.,, it
was called for loud enough now; bat if any man can sliew
that by voting for the original Address, it would be giving
a vote spins& the Wife of the Sovereign, be would never
assent to it. He could distinctly understand the feeling of
the Hon. Omsk-man, who conceived the Address would, by
implication, be said to approve of Ministers; and when be
saw the trumpeter of the party, the Courier, healing up for
" Loyal Addresses," be could not help wiahing that the Ad-
dress had disavowed ray approval of the viaduct of Minis.

pert, be (Mr. B.) gave no opinion on that greet question.

(turning to • former speaker) early politics into his family,
nor entertain his wife with the proceedings against the
Qaces.--( Laughter.)
F. K. LEIGHTON, Req. deeply lamented that the present
proposition bad nut the unanimous COliellITINCe of the
niceties. He warmly urged such of his covistrymen as be
knew venerated the constitution, but who disliked the pro.
medial( against the Queen, nut to lend themselves to fac-
tion. Faction sow claimed them as its partisans; and he
cautioned them, lest by their union uu one subject they
shush, identify themselves with false patriots. He called
epos them to assent to the Address with Ell their heart and
soul.
R. A. SLAn ET, Esq. conjured the movers of the original
Address to concede • little, in order that the Address may
he carried with unanimity. Have we not seen the public
mind agitated by itinerant orators; avid one man oho was
lidera-by his crimes snots the Atlantic, return hither to
propagate Atheism, end vend his atistroins fur reverie(
the Cousiitutiou? Our tomatoes enemies would rejoice at
disuuioo. lie therefore conjured the lion. Grutlensan,
whose indefatigable seal is the cause of the public and of
humanity emyy ma* mist applaud, nut to cast a torch of
discord into the meeting.
The Hon. T. Kin Yew said, that whatever difference of
'opium, may exist with regard to the preeeediogs against the
Qmen, the simple question now is—ehall we defend the
Courititation, or shall we forsake it ? He would most ex-
plicitly debtare that be did not vote aa approval of his Ma-
jesty's Ministers—(Citmer.)
The Rev. C. PETER. conceived that the original Address
would cerebrally be euastrued as an approval of Ministers.
Lord Viscount CLIVE rose to avow meet distinctly, that
whew the requisition was propagated in this town it never
entered into his ennui that the Address would imply an ap.
primal of the Ministry. Look et the Eason and character
of the requisiiiimists. If he and hie friends had intended
to applaud the conduct of Ministers they would have asked
