SUNIICRIPTIONS FOR RAISING AY ADDITIONAL
•A7IHED YONCL IN TUC COUNTY ON CHLYTEIL,

Orsrettatee —As it is not my intention to contri-
inoe to the above object. I think it due to persons so
highly respectable as yourselves, to myself, and to the
enmity at large, to state the reasons which influenced
me in declining to subscribe to a central fund, or to raise
soy separate force. At the present moment, in this
iimghbourhood, every thing is quiet and undisturbed ;
and had the existing force of the county been augmented
only, by private subscriptions and individual efforts, I
should have viewed the proceedings in silence, giving no
opinion as 10 its expediency tar disadvantage. Bot called
upon, as I have incidentally been, to assist in forwarding
Ike object of the late county meeting, I cannot, on an
nccasion so-publie, avoid, in a manner as 'midi; 'litchi,-
intetay reasons for the line of conduct I mean, after due
deliberation to adopt. Those gentlemen of the Com-
mittee with whom I have the honour and happiness of
being acqitainted, will, I trust, do me the justice to ad-
snit, that I am lint a person likely lobe unwilling, when
satisfied that the Occasion is a proper one, to assist in any
way in my power, in maintaining the public peace, and
in suppotting the credit and security of the county,
which must always mainly rest on the faithful execution
cf the laws, at: the preservation and prosperity.of our
happy constitution. To form an impartial judgment on
the qttestion now before me, I have examined recent
events and occurrences withaU the accuracy in my power,
and I mint beg leave to revert to certain local events
eatunected with these occurrences. The Grand Jury of
the county, at the late Assizes, seeing tracts circulated,
of a native to undermine out celigious•fahh, and injure
our form of Government, naturally expressed their in-
dignant feelings on the occasion ; .it appears, however,
from the result of a late trial, that these attacks on our
religion are not likely to be countenanced by.a British
Jury, any more, I trust, than by,a British people. And
I am also of opinion.. that out happy fonts .of Govern-
ment is as little in dauger.frum the wild and. pernicious
doctrines maintained and disseminated on. the subject of
our Constitution. The nation is too much enlightened
to be tnisled by such dangerous theories. Whether the
voice of the people be sufficiently heard in the Com-
Pens House of Parliament, all persor.s may be allowed
without criminality. not .ouly.to doubt, .but to dispute ;
mall may endeavour to correct what they. consider.a de_
felt in our system, by lawful means, but that that
ofiect, in itself legitimate wilco intruttal constitutionally,
ought ever to be obtained by force, I deny et peremp-
torily as I' would peremptorily and steadily resist it.
The Parliament, it seeir.=, is to be called together at an
earlier period than usual ; and, as we are told, to devise
',Tans for putting down dimfiection. Ministers, there-
t ore, I conelndr, . mean •to propose laws still stronger
than those that exist for that purpose and this is to he at-
tempted before any inquiry shall take place into the late
oistressing transactions at Nlanchesters.• Why the laws
ore-to be strengthened, or the armed force of the country
In be generally increased, 1 ant at a loss at present ro
discover; fur, whether the late transactions at Man-
chester were legal or not, there seemed little difficulty
i•t enforcing a summary Itraccas, and protecting. if en-
Lngereil, the persons a^d tir iperty of the inhabitants.
Before, then, reclines(' be had to extraordinary legi.la-
