C-NTLENTEN,
I will freely aci-zntmledge to you, that I have for some
time past relinquished ag-thoughts of a seat in, Parliament,
and have consequently declined very many overtures ,for that
purpose. If tile Pe",lple-of England 'are pleased and con-
tented with what has passed, with their present situation,
and ~vith'the terrible changes which have bean -Made in the
Laws, Constitution, and 'Manner' of governing this Coun-
try--let Statues erected in each County through the land
to Lord-Liverpool, Mr. Pitt, -and Mr. Dundas to whom
principally they are indebted for the Blessings. I shall•not
desire to overturn this, -but will remoye.frorn other odious
and' disgraceful objects, confessing myself not fit for tile
society of -such a Nation.
Yety•thoUgh disgusted; 1 do not -de'spair. I think out
Country may still be saved ; bat hy one-means only--by a
fair Representation 'of the. People iu Parliament. By that
alone can we possibly onfainthe restoration .of .those
able Rights which have
.leen.ravislied from us, of the seen,
rity of what little good remains. it • - • -
If the County of Middlesex, which, from circunistances;
-is liltelytotbe mom' tire,. informed,:and inlyendent, :than
any other Cotlnty in England, shall he pleased, yvoN
THIS PRINCIPLE, (aiid I wish for no support upon any
other principle, holding all p;:lliations nugatory and destruc-
tive), if; UPON THIS P ikINGI-P LE, -the County. of
Middlesex shaiEbe iileased to :intrust in my hands a portion
