In our last Paper, we gave a hurried account of

any thing wenn say, oar readers will he able to form
but a very imperfect ides of the enthusiasm which
pervades all ranks of the county in support of the

it is with difficulty he can prevail on the people to
allests horses to be put to his carriage at all. Such

they astonish even the most sanguine friends of the
independent cause. Who could have imagined that
the peaceful vales of Grasmere, Loughrigg, Am-
bleside, and Patterdale, should have witnessed a
sight of upwards of IMO of their stoutest natives,
all decorated with blue ribbon,. dragging a carriage
over the steepest hills, and rending the air with

seen the strength *lnch they did possess weakened

At the present stage of the Contest, it is fit that

antagonists, or rather of the persons through whorls
they are made known to us sod deceived respectill
its. It grieves me very deeply to mention among
those, a considerable portion of the Magistrates of
the county. For those estimable characters who
compose the local magistracy of the country, while
they perform their peldic duties unbiassed by par•
tiality, and maintain the dignity belonging to their
judicial station, I profess to entertain the most sin-
cere respect. They deserve the gratitude of the
community, the rather because it is their only re-
• compence, and it is a debt, I am persuaded, cheer-
fully paid wherever it is due. But there is another
species of Magistrates. who are entitled to no
thanks—Men wi; briug a reproach upon the name,
while they prostitute the authority, of justice
exercising with a base and restless uctivity ill the
vile arts by which the rewards of voluntary degra-
dition may be earned —abandoning themselves by
wholesale to a party. and running into every eicess
that the blindness of factious zeal can prompt ; or,
more despicable still, humbling themselves before
some great man, seeking his favour, to gratify a
childish vanity, or compass adore OA advantages.;
and wilfully becoming his devoted creatures iii all
the walks of the lowest subserviency. I speak not of
the fulsome cringing by which the demeanour of this
tribe is marked at-the court of the provincial Sove-
reign, their only liege Lord.—For aught I care, they
May lick the dist until even they are sick of crawl-

grovelling only sullies themselves ; and if those for
whose gratification it is intended have such appetite
us slot to reject it, I have no reason to interfere.
But when they come forth among us, armed with
the ensigns of their office, and swollen with its dig-
nity—wielding the sword of justice, not as a terror
to evil doers, but to brandish it over their patron's
antagonists, and menace those whom, with all their
weakness, they dare not touch—holding the ba-
lance, not with an even hand, but that the sca!e
may preponderate into which their master's wishes
ate flung, while the other, loaded with the in-
terests of the public, kicks the beam.—(Loud and
repeated cheers.)—Then, truly, it is time for us to
ask, whether such things are to be borne in a court-
try famed above all others for the pure administrs-
itioli of the law? The figure which I have rapidly
.sketched, your local knowledge will easily till up.
I will not detain you even with specimens of all
the contrivances to which, in endless variety, some
of throe conservators of the peace have lost them-
selves.-seeking to entrap you by promises, or to
warn you by dark hints, or to intimidate you by
open menaces. Of all these tricks I hear in every
