to tyrannize over another for a difference of their religious dpi

also that of Mr, George Phillips, the President elect for next

In returning thanks for the second toast,
Air. E. TAYLOR, (of Manchester), in A speech of some
length and considerable ability, (which, along with di* of
several other gentlemen, we are obliged to omit in conseqtrence
of the very late hour which our reporter arrived in tovezelast
night,) dwelt with much force on the alleged disturbanceit in
Lancashire, anti on one of the causes of the irritation which
was sometimes felt in that county in consequence of it& prince,
pal town (yielding to none in wealth and intelligence) „being
denied all share in .the representation of the people. , ,
The Clem !Dime, after u warm eulogy on the elllsrts now
making for the recovery of. Greece, gave—," May the liberties

' that if any proof were wanting of the great humanity nen libe.

Chairman added, that if the Hon. Member stit....e,tied in his
alone at reform in diet Court, he (the Chairman) Would not
despair of seeing a reform in Parliament itself,—(Chiers.). • '
Mr. 'N'Vetaitams rose to return thanks. After die,inany op-
portunities which lie had hail of expreseingliis opinions before,
and the advantage which he had taken of. them, hebed,.getee-
mined to weeny himself on this oecasion to uttrely st:cimg that
'he still adhered to those prieciples which he Nut elo often.avowe
eel before, and which were approved by tuojit or those wborn, he
had the honour to address ;: lint he was indeced to.44tere that
detertninatiou in consequence of the declaration of the Whig
Club, which bad .receutly made its appearanee beforeetlitepub-
lie. He would adroit it ax X general principle, theeeveter, enein-
ber of a society onght to be prepared to surrender bie OWn 001-.

surrender did not compromise some fixed and fnadaMental
principles. , With respect to the declaration,, he would adinit
that it had excited general eintereet t. how far it weUlterealize
the hopes that had been formed, woultixemain tie ice !teen. 'As
fitr as that deelaratioe had:gone, he concerrtel with it; but if
• it should ever become the subject of diecussion in attotheteplaee,
1 he would (giving merely hi*own private opinion, and tot as a
member of the body frommm which it emanated) state that that de-
i duration did not go far enough, .(Cheers.) As tar as it went, ha
went with it ; and .if it took its•leeve of him, it was Hot because
he wished to abandon it. but because it would go no tardier
' with him., (Cheers.) ,It had been much qbjected of late,
that the Reformers had tint forth• no defined or specific
plan for that measure. Ile would contend that If they, sought
to gain the great-bulk of the nation heartily in theieplun, they
ought to have something defined anti specific. It tv,oulte_etet do,
