but could not command a hen ring.) Gentlemen, I hope
you will

disregard, and to proceed w ith his speech)—G en I
men—(Uproar continued)—is it your intention to '
give me a hearing, or not?— (Loud cries of _dis_aPp roe
bation, which, however, were overwhelmed
_by the
approving cheers.) Sir James continued, regardless of

give me a fair hearing: on such en occasion as this.
—(Uproar.) If you will have the kindness for a short
countrymen
time to observe silence, I will endeavour to make myself
: at that I

never yet addressed an assemtilageof DIY Cou
who were not willing to
give a fair hearing whpti t, can-
didate appeared before them.--(Sear, hear.) N,),, the
circumsteecea in my case are.Peettliar.—(Hear, hoar,
laughter, and uproar.) I shoutd not have presumed to
appear here to-day had I not received an invitation from
a majority of the electors of.this city to come forward.
[Here a great disturbatice took 'place in consequence of
the police again interfering and taking some men to the
look.up,] Ido not appear here ueinvited, but a very
large proportion of the electors of this city, when I least
expected so great a compliment, invited me to come for-
ward as a candidate on the present oco.asion,
with my friend on my right hand,.—(Cheers conjointly
ers and groans.)
Now, if it had been merely to contend for a single seat
for the gratification of my Own vanity or ambition. I
shoull not have appeared here to. dray.—(•• That won't
do, Jemmy.") BUt this appears to me a great occasioe, 1
when great principles are at stake; and hiving re"
C,ivPti an invitati;on ouch es that which I have
alluded to, I did not thick it consistent 'with my Publw
duty to wi.hheld my assistance n this neva,ion.--
(Cheers.) Now, gentlemen, since I last had the honour
een
of appearing here before you, great pains have
