highest on the poll duly elected —(an Adeerflamsmsf.)
Each of the Gentlemen elected roinnied thanks le the
turetiog ; after which Alderman Waithearte tuquiesd whether
Mr. Harper, the unancressful candidate, who was present,
wished so address the meeting, but he decliwed.
Mr. Tiforetioe congratulated the meeting on the signal
triumph they had obtained over those weak loyalists who
would arrogate to themselves all the loyalty of the cowotry,
and would calumniate every man who did owl wasie in their
slavish opinions and *invite practices. They had sow pet
forth Mr. Harper as their champion, and in his support
they hail mustered all their strength. To what did it
amount ? In a Ward containing one.fith part of the city of
London, their utmost exertions could procure bet 19l sup.
porters; and he was fully persuaded that, If the whole cony.
try etiuld he canvassed, the result would be the same.—lie
WO a motion to propose, in which he less confident every
iies%osi pr sent would cordially agree, as it was to express
tl.i it thanks and gratitude to their worthy Alderman, who
n 14 1111 e of those pure and spotters charm-leis, whose pri-
v4le virtues. if possible, exceeded his politic services:.
(Gnat opplaitse.)--He then moved the Thaults of the
Ward to Alderman Waithmasi, which was seconded by Mr.
Deputy HIEVES. who &Clamd his hearifs It satisfaction at
adding his humble tribute of estetm and respect fur the
worthy Alderman.

Aldermen WAITIOIVI returned thanks in • speech, In
which hr •mled, at length, the conduct r,f those members
ut the Misod who were the friends of free and full disene.
&ion, and the enemies of ell corruption and oppressioa,
and contrasted it with the conduct of those who fled front
ail diseu,siun, and trout the holes and coveters in which
they took ri-fuge, tented their calumnies against those
they were unable to face. Bat, said she worthy Alder-
man, the whole marl ry of the loyal Address was set
to work by those who live on the taxes raised by the
opp.cssim. of a truly loyal and much-irijvied people.
—lse,, the Rector of the church iu ahols they were
then assent:ilea, and who 'mil he. is a c.•nspicuous actor in
the drams, was himself one of those Clergymen who bail
gone to Psi ;lament with • Petition to have their poor, and
111 to wV i ROCCA starving psrud ttttt orrs, further taxed to
WI. in the 'tomtit for the it WMIIIIIII4 support ; but lie
thanked God that he, being the,, in Plulianient, had contri.
hosed to defeat their attempt. He ciisibl not but feel that
they neatly overrated his services; but he could truly say,
that the rtvittehlittits of his fellow.eitisrus was the only
sea ard 11.- 111411 eV. r sought or ever hail obtained.
The M arilosuie broke up, after adopting a Resolution
