known to characterise the inhabitant, of the coy tel I- 5...:

cultivated wools they unite feeling hearts; and that to 1,,,,•.
sympathies, which are the orsameeste of nature, i la, y atl,t
that love of liberty, intlinnit which mao, instead of Iwiiig .e'
intellectual Mast aspiring to the H , is only a r.etral,•
..
reptile crawling upon the earth.
The love of liberty is what coati than any thing else coo:c-
-lam man. h ands dignity to his countenance; it Ki:.y be
read in his eyes; it is visible in his cathode; it is palpable
even in his step,; it manifests itself iii all that he vays ur
dors. lit the social stale it is the rotor of excellence: Wah-
iawa snow riegeuerammingo we belevior animal ; and w ith :t
he monists to higher regions of civilised etc:encore.

It is libel ty which gives such au energy to the product ice
power, of man, as it soon causerie a demi into a order,.
It gives laricitriance to sterility; it imparts a soft verdure to
the rocky soil ; and, under its bland influence, the hood of
vapour and figs assumes the serenity of a happier clime.
It is liberty Which softens the asperities of human inter-
course. It smoothes ofi" the abrupt ruggedness of the roei:il
scheme. It dues not, for it cannot, make the Mello:ilia ie •of
life to disappear, but it causes them to he unfelt. Where
liberty prevails the labourer smiles, and the prow man lot•k.
as erect as the filch. Where liberty prevails nu man
Vain, and the disparity of conditions operates only as an en-
conragement to snperinr activity.
Liberty makes the greatest addition to the shirk of Elme-
ral happiness; as, metier a free Wverument, taut only no
man labonrs in vain, but the labour of every individual
most prolific in its results. It causes a stiperflnity in Ihr
materials of enjoyment; fur the labour of a free man is
always twice as productive as that of a slave.
. . .

In early life I caught the lore of liberty, and f consider it
as She best boon amongst the gifts of Heaveu in mankind.
Though I was placed in circumstances which tend to ab-
stract the avenues to bulb, )et truth always hail a five of -
resit to my ear, Slid, I trust, to my heart. Ilicice. I •01.11
learnt that mankind had tights independent of Snorer-..s
and that all the power which Sovereigns !V rrise is
least for the common good.
These notions, which lri re implanted in Inv mind in ell :r
life, hose acquired strength wish iucreosing years ; aid
brace, perhaps, I exhibit the singular respect of a Quciii-
Consort contending for the rights of the nation against die
esievoseliments of power. The attempt to crush me boa an
object far beyond that of my individual humiliation. The
blow is aimed directly at the Queen; but the real object is to
prepare the neck of the nation fur the yoke of 4rritirele.
In the question between me and my adversaries 1 have
never crass dto regard my uwa rights as the props sty of the
nation; and hence I have defended them with muse peril-
aacity than I might have dose, if I lad viewed them male
as a part of my own personal enjoyment. If the generous
Roman war to consider himself as created not for his owe
individual gratificiittue, but fir the happiness of his 'gorier,
surely such a sentiment ought not to be a deli) letter, kilt a
living principle in the bosom of a Christian Scat reign.
