generosity would lead them to put so young a man
in a $14t1111.011 to contend with all that interest and
power.against whicla your late illustrious represent-
ative had the greatest difficulty to prevail.
I trust, will !se 'a satisfaCtory answer to all that was
required of me."
Mr. FINAIITY expressed himself satisfied ; and
. The Resolution was then put and carried.
The 4:h and sth Resolutions were, that the Meet-
ing was in unison with the principles they beta to
.adopted, and that the Resolutions be printed iii all
the Morning and Evening Papers.
/ • Mr. EWI.OIO then 5410, that he should not detain
the •M-eting by reverting to any circumstauses
which might be.thougla personal to himself ; but
he should be ever found ready to oppose any fac-
tion, whose objeift was to oppose the liberty and in-
dependence ot Cie City of AVestminster. Oh 'a
,lot met occasion,' Sir Francis, Burcistt, and Mr.
Coetan were proposed to them by an Hon. i.:enalte-
man, for t:hotn, arette prellieCtllof it Eastern de.
linqaency, every friend to flis country must enter-
t,:iit the highest degree of sespea ; a Gentleman,
tram his virtue and integrity, deserved to he
put in competition with Cato, trie Censor. At that
time, he(.air. B.) expressed his opinion that nei-
r of the candidates proposed t•tould come for-
ward ; and tney lia.l since, as appeared from their
fetters, declined it. He then proposed the man whom
he before stiluded to, wan, though nursed in the lap
of Oriental tyranny and enrruFt:on, returned to this
coanuy unsedatett and ur.curtupted. That G,-n-
-tleman, however, had thought proper to withdraw
from the contest. gut-he had now to name another
individual as a candidate, who, he was sure, would
give the Eleitors of Westminster an opportunity ot
freely and fairly exercis.r.g their suffrages, and who
had suftic ent courage to stan I•against toe encroach-
ments of power, and energies of mind sufficient to
compensate any disparagement of fortune between
Turn and his oppontni.--(il general cry of "Name
hite! name has I" Upon which he nominated Ma.
Wiiliam Cohbett.)
• As slam as this name was uttered, a general 1441-
ing of disgust a..d indignation seemed to pervade
the meeting. and hisses stud trona all qa irters.
On the CM writli•let rUttin;:•tlre question--

Mr. Aeuteaus replied, th ! he conceived no
man had a right le put that question to him. It
any min would declare that he was not an Elector,
he mig.ht be entitled to an answer but an interro-
gatory Of that kind ought en more to be put to
him, thin to Mr. Maddock, jun. to Mr. Smith, or
other Gentlemen who spoke at the fame- meet-
. ing. To ash such a itteseion as that of him at pre-
sent. would be to demand rpoll before a nomina-
tion.
'the Cu A IRM eahert observed, that if he diJ not
preserve the order of the Meeting. Cie should con-
sider himself as' aftsiorthy of the situation thef
as-
signed him. He should therefore pm the question,
whether or not Mr. Adolphus should be heard ?
Ihe decision was clearly in the negative. •
A Gentleman then said, that the decilitres was not
fairly takei, and moved that the question should
again be put to the vote.
The Cr/ *late V. said, that though he considered
any further questlon'unn..cessary, alter the Gentle-
man's declaration, he should put it to the vote. •
. Mr. Atlnt PSIUt-e•" I LiVny that I made any de-
cker:n;(ln, either on • way hr the other."
The question we' then put, and it was again de-
cided, by a small ni.4joiity, that Mr. Ativiphus
should not be heard.
The CR A I%t AN then stated, th.it he was autho-
rised by the proposer to withdraw the name of Mr.
Coldatt.
Mr. Koowtu said, that the resolutions from the
Chair were not fairly put, and were of such it na-
ture as to he highly derogatory to the dignity Orthe
people of Westminster ; and he, as an humble
Eleetor, must pretest against them. These reso-
lutions were a libel mt the principles of the Eletame.
Mr.Gt meows said, that he wished still io be heard,
in his own justifizatiop. Every means had beii-em-
pinyed to counteract the publicity of that, and be
knew, that p:caniary consideration had been given
to prevent the posting bills being stuck up, by the
enemies to the independence of Wesrminster.—(A

was partictitirly vo:iferottsj.
