Tlsat whatever inroads they have W:toebtiell upon the Con, i

That your Petitioners. out the Nation at large, have long-

'enormous and hinder:4llc taxation.

That hi common with their fellow.ssibjeets, they have matte

the Throne and to.Parliuntont, praying for a redress of the
same.

That your Petitioners haveetererved, with peculiar satisfac-

:in regar.l to the mosic.el relief, the greatest order and re-
.gularity have generally appeared in the proceedings (Write

of which they have been unat t i ttttttt s, have been stated in a
Manner that could neither he distmted- nor denied.; and al-
though iu ensue instances acts of violence and num& have
taken place, which. your ..Petitioners deeply deplore,. they
believe them to have ariseu solely from the uuparalli•led ilis-
tress of the emintry; awl not to be at all connected with the
great buly of Httitioners.
That. your Pelitiussers, therefeee, feel the most serious re-

They are the mot ralarnied. that such es traorditiai vane:s-

That your P.;titioners do hot prectune to question the mo-

That it appears to won Petitioner:, that to adopt measures

That your Peti,ioners conceive, williont meaning to offend

nourable Haase, Milt with whirl, they do not appear to have

That lee the present difficultly• and ilkappointments of
