tie, that vilien he shall next venture to solicit the suf- '
'rages of the electors of Arglesnire, 1 shalt b. th.,re
meet him, and then and there I shall call upon him ti•
•-ender an account'of the condor( hr. loss oorsued with re
ference to the Church. But to leave this subject ; anc
vith reference to the denial of Mr. Home Drummoni
hat he tampered with the witness Campbell, previous t(
he trial of APKinlay in 1817, I shall take th liberty
of bringing that witness before you, and you sh .11 ju(4,
For yourselves whether Mr. Home Drummond did, or did
lot, bribe the witness, and make himself art and part t(
perjury, and that, too, for what purpose ? To tak(
.way the life of a fellow-creature ! I hold in my hand
he evidence which Campbell gave, and I will read it it
sou. ( Here Mr. Campbell read to the assembled multi-
-.ude the parts of Campbell's evidence in which Campbei
swore to the scenes and conversations which took plac.
between Mr. H. Drummond and the witness while confine('
in Glasgow Gaol and in Edinburgh Castle, in which th.
.vitness swore to the offers of reward which. Mr. Hcm(
Drummond made to him, provided he would give sucl
information " as would please the Lori Adrocate," an(
in which the witness swore that Mr. Home Drummon(
was warned that he was attempting to make the wit•
aess perjure himself.—(Cheers.) Mr. Campbel
oroceeded)—Now, that is not the evidence of m,
witness—it is the evidence of Mr. Home Drummond
)wn witness, whom he put into the witness box to sweat
away the life of another man ; it will not do, then, fo,
Mr. Home Drummond now to tell us that what that
witness swore is not true. We are entitled and bourn
to hold that it is true. And now I would ask al
who hear me, did Mr. Home Drummond, or did h,
not, bribe the witness ? Did he, or did he not d,
o, knowing—because he had been forewarned b
•
Sir William Rae—that he was leading the unfortunat
can Campbell to commit perjury ?—yes, Mr. Horn
Drummond indicted IM.lnlay before the High Court o
.I.,:sticiary in 1817, and I now indict Mr. Home Drum-
mond at your bar. You shall be his jury, and I ask yoi
now to return }our verdict. Is Mr. Home Drummon(
; or is he not guilty ?—(This was responded to
(he most tumultuous cheering, and cries of " He is
! he is guilty'.') Then, Gentlemen, I ask you, i
this a fit man to represent the free and honourable coo
stituency of the County of Perth ?—(Cries of " He i
not, he is not.") No, Gentlemen, he is not ; and I trus
that the result of the poll will show to Mr. Home Drum•
(nond and his friends, that we will not be representet
by any gentleman capable of the atrocious deeds, or ra-
ther mis-deeds attributed to him.

Several rounds of cheering were then given for Mr.
Stewzlrt and Mr. Mule, and three cheers to thi
Sheriff ; while most " awful" groans were awarded tc
the Tory candidate.
The hetet nse crowd then quietly dispersed. A
great assemblage of people, however, collected in from
of the Salutation Hotel, from a window of which Mr.
Maule addressed them in a spirited an stirring speech ,
and concluded by urging every Reformer to fly in
stantly to his post, and use every effort in his power t(
rescue the representation of the county from the keep-
ing of the Tories.
