ever, that it never should be oaid of them,
I' The attempt and 'tiet the deed confounds us i"
and next Saturday he would try to delude those
who. wished to be deluded, with en argument to
prove that the plot originated in the Conch itself,

which hid his hearty approbation. Indeed he
never differed in essentials from the wot thy Dtli-
cnte kel,o preceded hint, 11c lainenieu Jainnably
with hitn that a more decisive event had not
clowned their in lewd exertions. But they
must not despair, bet atie of partial disappoint-
ments. The next time they might manage better,
and he could not help mentioning that he consi-
dered one of the causes t.,f their present lamented
fdilUre to be the heavy witilding of a two-penny

Dolicetts from St. Jatriefi's Park, and were re•
ceived with rapturoue.applitube.

them in au admirable and. appropriate eipeeih,
which occupied three hours and forty luinines in
the delivery. He dwelt with peculiar emphasis
on the excellence of their aim, their admirable
caution anti dexterity, their noble illustration of
levelling principles, their manly devotion to the
. cause of religion and constitntional freedom, and

posedsituation on a Tree, which said he " is umi.
nous of future exaltation, when the Royal Oak shall
be consecrated by the Sons of* Libel ty, not as
having saved, but as having destroyed a Tyrant."
