Having lately perused a Pamphlet eotilled..^

not, in justice to our charaCters Magistrates, omit
takittk noriee Of
.a passage' hi which relates to the
late EleCtion for thi4 ToWn.. You therein state,
amongst other. Matters equally At valiance with
truth, 'that in the procession—" A Female, repre,
salting the GOddess of Reason,' in' a' state of iath'e

misrepresentatioos 'which 'have' been Propagated
through the Kingdorri respeCling the occurrences of
the late EleCtion here, and it is self.evident that they
been so propagated, only with a view to pre.
juflice the 'Public Mind, and to prejudge a Question
which Will soon he investigated by a Committee of
the House of Conittions.
The calumhiei were ushered lean the world at' a
very early period atter the close of the Eletlion,
and Wm.., were not insensible or inattentive to them ;
hat conceivitig.that a discussion of their merits
would .ist that time be improper, the Mayor and
Sheriff relying, on the candour' of the Public, con.
tented themselves with addressing a Letter to the
Editors of the Courier and the Morning Chronicle,
dated the zqth July, wherein they requested a sus.
pension of judgment, till such time as the question
was decided before the proper Tribunal.
After such an apptal, we were in hopes that truth
and candour would have influenced every future
imminent on the events of our Eleaion. We have
therefoie read with surprize' and indignation, that
assertion in your .gook to which we have alluded,
and we think it our duty to state to you, that it
does not contain one syllable of truth.--If,' in de.
fiance of cAunon decency, such an exhibition had
tal;en place, we should have considered

SPLCIAI. COMMISSION, CLONMEL.

JANUARY 11.

Baron Geottot delivered to the Grand' Jury, a
harge peculiarly appropriate to the circumstances
tinder which they were called together. After.
touching briefly on the general duty of their rOfftcc
'ordinary oecasiOns, of which, he said, their oath
itself was the besrexposiror, he reminded them that,
at ',this particulatFjuatere; something further was
to be expelled from their.contlud : It was to be ex.
peaed, that, as their Whale attention Was now Si
ifieded to one etnlcern, the support of the Peace and
good order of the Country, they would exhibit an
exatnple from which all good men may be con.
firmed in their Allegiance, by knoWin;, that the
strength at d. prote(zion of Government were thei r
security, ;n:4l that the ill disposed may see in the
vigour ami firtnoess of a mild Administration, the
le air run. which must follow froni theie ntiscon-
?Ltd. Eli! Lordship could not here, he sai3;' look
present situation, of the Countri, without re.
turfing. to the dangers and alarms that have passed
away, and to the security which has folloWed•—
flappily for the Country, its loyalty has been able
to put down all Orit of tebellion, never, he trusted,
to raise its head again ; and, still more happily, the
War, of is Lich the Rebellion was a circumstance,
ha's been closed; by a Peace.), produced by the
achieveinents of our Armies and Fieets, that have
'qUineted the World. The happiness of this situation
wits enereaied by
:the bounty Of Pro v idenee, so kind
'and plenteims, tll'at every man having industry' and
grace, partakes- his shard" of it—governed by an
Administration, the mildest that ever exercised
power over a nation, dispensing the wisest Laws
that the World has ever known—with' the Military
Force reCalled from Foreign Seviice, to support the
Laws, the Peace, and' the happines of the people.--
In a sewn like this, in whkh vices tuil crimes had
so little expettation from Foreign Succour, and so
many Enemies at holm 1.0 011105 q their progress and
crush their weakness, it was not to he wondered
at, since crines and vices. mnu-.t prevail in 30111 C de-
gree, that their latitude was coottned co a portion,
:and that a small 'one, of the Province of Munster,
which became an'eXception to the rest of the king.
donor, where the advantages of its situation were
reaped in Industry and Peace. Fur,: unhappily for
.that small portion, a disaOhneoess of Morals and car.
ruption of principle had rooted itself in the Rebel-
lion, too strongly for any syStem of policy or cer.
tainty of advantage, in a 016111CrIt to put, it down.
And. this was to be expedeti. 'lt was' inseparable
from the gross ignorance of the peasantry and. 00.
'palace, that they possessed likewise the grossest
credulity ; a credtilitt,,Which in spite of experience,
makes them listen
,with avidity to the impositions
of., any disturber, who has ability to excite their
terrors, or their hopes, anti to lead them, as such
charaders invariably do, to certain destruditm,
where the deluded rabble regularly find themselves
deserted by those, under whose instigation they have
been ruined. It is their friend, therefore, as :well
as the friend of the Law, and the Peace, and the
Government of the Land, who will try and put an
early and vigorous check to their enormities. be.
cause though any, or all t;f their efforts combined,
ate not serious, yet their consequences. must be ca.

;-t) the tlests anion of those a little more opulent and
powerful—let that .step pass, died the Gentry are
their ohjeet. If this evil be ,not cheeked early and
'effeetually, where will k end ?
When his Lordship alluded to -Ole Gentry, he
animadverted with his customary strength and per.,
suasiveness of reasoning. on the supineness of those
who suffer themselves to temporize. with any enor-
•:mity committed in the neighbourhood. He
bited the weakness of such conduct, as inviting an
attack upon the liersortwho could pursue it :
who would sleOiquietly in his bed, ought, in times
like these, to pitive that his. beti was defended, and
step forth, in support: " (tithe- laWs by which he and

But this is not to be done by two or three, much
`less can it be effeded by individual, unconne4ted
existence.: The Gentimen of the Country, to ensure
its peace, should unite .in its cause, every man who
has chargier or property to, value. " As long,"
said he, If as you support yourselves in, the mainte.
