Jo4dll°ll the conservative principle, that_ the chosen of the
Thges dont represent property, and don't possess property.
~.el'e is Leitrim.—The first on the list is Mr.. Westby
ses'eeval. This gentleman, we are assured, does not pos-
oo 3a foot of property in that county, and is not deemed
sufficient consequence to be called, even by Orange
I,l!ifis, upon the Grand Jury—although a Deputy Grand
wirer of the Orange Institution. Surely this gentleman
pa be passed over by Lord Mulgrave. And who are the
houtet-two gentlemen on the Leitrim list ? Mr. Percy does
the Possess an inch of estate in Leitrim, nor is he called on

finger son of a gentleman of fortune in Roscommon, but
se,sses not a foot of land any where, and is at this moment
ang his pay with his regiment in some quarter of the
like. Are these persons qualified to be made High She-
of Leitrim ? and every word we have stated can all be
Ith:ved, and will, we have reason to know, be submitted in
eftcial form to the Lord Lieutenant in a few days.
