TO THE FREEHOLDERS OF MIDDLESEX.
GENTLEMEN,
frHE moment before the commencement of the
late Ll.telion for Middlesex, Mr. Whitbread, in a
manner most unbecomitv, his station, connexions, and chtn:
ratter, inserted in the public Newspapers the following pas-,
sage, signed with his name: addressed indeedAorninally,
with dissembled respea, to me; but intended dra

Eledioneering manoeuvre against you.
"I do not perceive in your present Address (says Mr.
Whithread)4 any allusion to an opinion promulpted by you
on the late "Eleaion for Westminster which is That. a •
person holding an Office. under the, Crown, however other-
wise estimable, cannot at any time beeorne the fit Repre-
sentative of a Free, Uncoirupt, and Independent People.'—
I f such opinion be founded in truth, which (continues Mr.
Whitbread) I utterly deny, a laW ought to be passed to ex_
elude all the Executive Servants of Government from Seatt.
in either House of Parliament. 1 haVe not beard that it was
_ln the contemplation of any one to propose such a measure
and, if proposed, I am sure it would meet with resistance
from all descriptions; of persons whO have the power or the.
will to reason upon its consequences. Thef conic, by the
acceptane of yourdoarine would reduce themselves to the
haled necessity of being governed by ,the worst.of mankind.."
These, Mr. Whitbread's sentiments, have like Wise been
recently paraded by Mr.-Windham, ..Secretary of State ; by
Mr. Tierney, Chair Man of the Board of Controul ; by Mr.
"Sit,:lidAtt, Treasurer of the'•Navl ; laud are now held, I pre-
sume, as the political creed of the whole party.

Gentlemen, • • •
In that Act of Parliament (12. and 13 Witl. III.) which
gave the Throne of these Kingdoms to' his preseat 'M ajesiy,
and his f amity, entitled—":An Actfor'the.futther Liattilt,- •
tion of the Crown, and better securing th- Rights an'ti
ties of the-Subject,"—it was- wisely and honestlys thus • eti-.
aCtetp•=:." That no Person .wh,O has an olfice or t'iace. of
Profit under the King, or receives a PensiOnltorn'the Crown,
shah be capable-of serving as a Member of . the House. of
Commons."
Unt Mr. Whitbread,
_it seems, never heard of this provi-
sion—" Pot better securing -the Rii,"hts and Liberfi.:s of the
Subject:" And, • because, after atelancholy experience. of
the necessity of such a, provision, which our honest ances-,,,
tors only foresaw, I rmitntain he opinion of these from
whom •Hi§ Majesty holds his CroWn, tan) represented, by
these best of Patriots, as an enemy to ihe Constitution, and
by soine of their place-holding- and plateAiLinting Party, as
a Traitor to my. Country.. The .worst, of 'traitors to their
Country are those who eat up
sits .resourees. .Mr.
bread's judgment upon Us who hold this.npinion, is, indeed,
.somvthing wilder : he only concludes us robe either foolS or
'rogues,--" either we have not the -power or the will to reason
upon its,consequences.!'—l have. reason to believe that Al r.
Whitbread himself ptAseSses both the will and' the powor to
obtain speedily a lucrative .ottice unda.the Crown, without
much embarrassing himself with' its consequences to the
' Public. . •• . •

•
Gentlemen,
When the last additional Taxes, for the present year were
lately imposed upon the People by these best of Patriots, it
was uridisguisedly and tranquilly acknowledged 'by them,
without the.lezist compunctiort,.oi commiseration of the
People, that the necessary effeJ of theSe Taxes would be, to
drive .the inhabitahts of a -house into ludgings,..and .the
lodgers of the first floor into the second. Here indeed they
stopped, leaving us to complete the miserable pielure of na-
tional c.damity, viz, that the lodgers of the seco.ld floor
must Mount up into the garret, the garreteer descend into
the cellar, whose forther wretchid inhabitant must be thrust
out upon the pavement, and from thence trans:erred' to the
workhouse or the grave. And this process is toberepeated
toties quoties ; so that the best' provided amongst us can-
not tell where himself indhis fatuity may be .found at. last. •
This is a hard lesson tor, Englishmen to hear. It is harder
still to hear it enfbrced from •the mouths of those who
themselves are all the while creeping forward front .their ari-
Maar: gamtt into palaces. Such hid:Cling this
would never have taken ptace but amidst Placemen and Pen-.
sioners. Had they been really the Representatives of the
People, they would have felt something tar the People. ; ands
instead of incessantly cal hog for fresh sacrifices, and teling
us gaily ‘tllat we'must " retrench even part of Our•ne-Cessa-;
ries,",they wouldsurelYhow at last have-held out to us some
prospea of consolation and redress—they would' no longer
continue to gorge upon the vitals of their couOtty, but would
think themselves too well off if they were not itdstlY com-
pelletkodisgOrgetheir past infamous sWallowings.
Gentlemen,
In beCornlng a -candidate at the late Elution for
County, do L acknowledge that. I rather ougiit a Public than
a Seat to Parliattreiat.' I sought for; and have found amongst-
you. Pr.eliolder& who would vote,: for themselves, and not;
for any Candidate-,,w114,) would not give their votes 'as a ta.
your conferred, but as -a sacred trust reposed in an. honest:
man, to etaible him to stern the torrent against these venal
Coalitioh Whigs, who are,. by their Owit 'avowal, hunting the
People of this Country from the secund..fluor to the.g;:cret.
'I hat this system of corruption and oppression may cease

ever be the constant L.tcl unremitting endeavour of, •
