LEICESTER MEETING.

The following we copy from the Lciceit'ei chin
nine—being part of a speech we were obliged, from
want of time, to omit, m our number giving an kg.,
count of the interesting and important . meeting
lately held at that place :
Mr. OTwAr Caw. Ktid, I must crave your indul
gence, gentlemen, for the disadvantage I am node'
while addressing you, after so admirable and vl
quent a speech as the one you have just heard.
thank you for the compliment you have paid, not t
my person, but to my principles—a compliment !-
honest intentions, directed to worthy objects. Ife

union with me, is our co-operation in a public cans,

the first meeting that has been conveated in- th
town, in the sacred and victorious cause of Civil am

man, who has not the misfortune to be a Catholic-
the property which no King orParliatnent has arig'
to diminish or take away—the cause to which weou
our political eminence, amongnations, and which,'

can never be abandoned by us without
famy, or surrendered without a crime.—(( beers
It is not the liberty, gentlemen, of a domineerii
oligarchical faction, that is made by them the watcl
word and pretext for every species of cruelty at.
abuse, perpetrated, indeed, tinder the forms and fi
tions of the law, and the sanction of a certain asset
bly, which no more represents the interests a tl
people, than• that stentorian nobleman •of ttiteHd,,
Heath notoriety, while shouting and gesiitv.titing
the boors of Kent, against ghosts and witaes; st
the Pope, could be said to represent the infeilect
the British nobility and gentry,—(Laughter and a!
