REPRESENTATION OF SOVT°
LANCASHIRE.
A meeting of Mr. Henry's committee was held on
Tuesday evening, in the League Council Chamber,
NowaWs-buildings. Mr. George Wilson presided.
The CHAIRMAN said that every step taken was in toe
cordance with the rule laid down at the last election. if
had seen a number of gentlemen, and had heard only,oll°
opinion expressed as to the wisdom of the choice of oui
Henry.
The SECRETARY stated that a good many gentleraen
had given in their names as committeemen.' in the Mr. HENRY then said that ho begged leave,
first place, to express to them the deep obligations able!!
he felt under to thein, for the honour they bad conferred
upon him, in bringing him forward to represent this in;
telligent division of the county. Though he had not
been accustomed to public speaking, and therefore Pore..
that he might acquit himself but indifferently cn thilt
occasion, he hoped that with practice, and with the IIP;
probation of the respectable gentlemen he saw arounu
him, and the other enlightened electors of the counti:
he should in time approach, in some degree, to wil:
they wished to find in their representative.--(lfesoi
hear.) He was sensible that it was for no merit
his own that he had been brought forward by them; i
was because they thought he would fearlessly anti ";
nestly carry out the great principles they bad alwwllYh
advocated, and which he had held in common t
them, that they had selected him for that imports')
trust which he hoped would be conferred upon Wo;
(Hear, hear.) He had always held opinions in 000n3°,
with theirs from the time that he was able to form
opinion upon such subjects, and although he had no! alt
tended public meetings, from a conviction that his
"Id
duty was to his family and that his chief attention shclu
be paid to his business, yet his heart and band had sl_,,
ways been with them in the support of the great ca
aess
in which they had been actively engaged.—(APP that
In sending him to Parliament, he could assure them
ever
neither place, circumstances, nor situation, would
L,
lead him to desert the great principles which be has
7,1
nounced to them, and for which they had been P!"
to select him as a candidate for the representation.
The CHAIRMAN said, that after Mr. Henry'a address
it was not necessary to renew their assurances to ail;
port him. The opinions he had expressed coincide:
entirely with those which were entertained by the rPe
bers of the committee.
The proceedings then terminated.--
