" It is extreingly gratifying. to me, Gentlemen, ,
under these circumstances,- to/enew myintercogrse
with ''a county so renowned for its many noble,
though ineffedual struggles ; sometimes, indeed,
successful; never, I. trust, altogether unavailing in
theN same cause—resistance -to arbitrary power;
which, however it may be disguised, or from what-
ever quarter it 'may come, is equally.to be feared
and to Ve guarded, against. •

riving; by • a simple expression of its will, at that
Reform good men have long sighed for`; but which,
perhaps, they never until now, clearly .discerned, a
quiet; easy, and peaceable method of obtaining.
" I remain,- Gentlemen, •
" Your most obedient humble Servant,
