BUSH ED—SCANDALOUS ATTEMPTS TO, UR RETN
MR. GRATTAN, BY INTIMIDATION., PROVED.
Is there an honest or an-independent Protestant
or Itortien Catholic, in Ireland, who will not 'turn
%it!' horror from so -.base and unconstitutional a
system of terror and intimidation; if there be, let
him read the follOWing, in
which the whole system
V
is exposed by the evidence of Mr. •
_ EATEs, B most
respechible Citizen of Dublin :
POST ASSF.MM.Y, MONDAY, .11.7 NE 19.
Monday a Post-Assemhly of the Corporation was held at
William-street, to consider of a fit and' proper person to re-
present this City in Parliament in the room of the late Right
Hon. ITheav GRATTAN.
Ahotit lialfpast two o'clock, the Sheriffs tool: the Chair in
the Lower House, shortly after which, Alexander 'Montgo-
mery.; Esq. proposed a resolution that neither of the Candi-
dates should be permitted to address the Assembly, as tend-
ing to bias the minds of the Members present.
This was strongly opposed by Messrs WILLIg, S. STF.-
rtlENs, Wria.rAsts,, and Ilt:MPHtty MI.NCHiN, Esq. the lat-
ter Gentleman stating; that in a former instance Mr. La-
Totteite, anti other Candidates hail been permitted to address
the House.
Mr. Surrcrt wished to be guided by the established rules
of the Assemble ; he therefore required to know front Mr.
Allen, the Clerk, if there was any precedent for admitting the
Candidates.; if there was, he should vote against the motion ;
if there Wac not, he saw no necessity fur departing from e on th
ancient usage.
Mr. IV taas cited the case of Doctor Lucas in 17“0, when
he obtained liberty to state his pretensions to the representa-
tion of this City.
Mr. Movroostrav then came forward, and after stating
that no improper motives induced hint to make the proposi-
tion which was the subject of debate, Withdrew his motion,
as it seemed not to meet with general approbation.
Mr. Humeri RV 511 NCH IN then came forward, and short-
ly but warmly panegyrised the politic conduct and private '
worth of Thomas Ellis, Esq. lie said, that perfectly convinc-
ed of the integrity aid independence of Mr. Ellis he conceiv-
ed him well qualified for the honottrahle and important sta-
tion of outs. of the representatives in Parliament fir the City
of Dublin. Without further preface he should therefore I
move—" That Thomas Ellis. Esq. is a fit and proper person
to represent the City of Doldin in Parliament."
This motion was seconded by ,James Blacker, Esq. of Col-
lege-green.
Thomas Ellis, and Henry Grattan, EFqrs. the present Can-
didates for the representation of this City, were then intro-
doced, and received with loud cheers.
It being intimated to these Gentlemen that the Assembly
had come to- the determination of hearing them state their
pretensions, Mr. Ellis remarked, that he haul jest returned
from a Meeting of one of the Minor Corporations, where he
had thought it necessary to make an address of some leogth,
and that therefore labouring under notch exhaustic4) he i
should allow his antalgonist the privilege of taking the lead in
delivering his sentiments. Mr. Grattan, however, declined
the proffered courtesy, in consequence of which
Mr. Er.r.as came forward, mid regretted Much that the
cause which he hint just stated; rendered him tunable to enter !!
so fully as he could wish, or as may be expected by that. most
respectable Assembly, on the subject which then gave bins an
opportunity of addressinr, them. He said lie hail hot lately
come into public notice, and that- upon an occasion with which
they were all 'acquiainted. He was 'prond to say that his
conduct on that event had met with the unanimous appro-
bation of the Corporation of Dublin. The principle's which
he theta professed, and which first recommended hint to their
.
approval, he pledged himself should remain indelibly and
unalterably impressed upon his mita Those principles were
founded in a veneration for the Constitution, as by law esta-
!dished at the glorious Revolution of 1(3.8;-which it would be
his pride and boast to support. In adverting to the line of
conduct which should 'guide him in Parliament, were he re-
turned as their representative, he said that a strict attention
to the local and commercial interests of this city should form
aeonstant and vigilant portion of Ids duty. 'rho p.rotecting
clauses of the Act of Union were` ;shout to expire, whereby,
irf his eunception,' the trade of It-eland would suffer. mate-
I rially ;,. these.protectinc duties should be eutotinued, in order
to rescue the Manufacturer and 'Merchant froM itrapeoding
ruin, 4nd•thc•rrfpre slsuulef have his support. He would nor,
by a mock patriotism, and mistaken view of economy, join
the ranks of thaw whoendenVoured ta deprive .01,11, city of
its resident Court, and Ireland of its Lord Limit enant.—
(Loud chrering)—of the 'residue' of that nobility which
the Union haul drawn from their native country. The views
of such melt, courting ephemeral popularity by the arts u.f
faction, were 'well 'exhibited in the 'effects of the late election
law, which relieved themselves from a weighty expellee, and
placed it on the ihunlders of a people already Intliciently
burdened.—(Charring:)—He despised such efforts, and he
never would beciume a Member of such .a
coitteniptible
party. On the other hand he would nut bow obsequi-
ously to the dictum of the Minister; he 'would • support
him When. he was acting tight. bout his • hostility. s-hould
be directed arainst hint when he felt his measures 'were'
Wrong. 'Having thus briefly Stated his •Tot-die-opinions, he
could not help advertinr, to
.the calumnies which had been
industriously heaped upon his "name anikcharacterhy a fac-
tion in this city, who professed themselves to he friends of
his Hon. Friend atol antagonist, butt whose actions, -he was
cors-inced, his Hon. Friend would sports atandatespisc.; who,
under the special guize of the name of Grattan, had uttered
the basest calutonies. No. man in the comumnits, de-
plored the loss of that great matt more than himself, and
if the tear of sincere regret 'could etnhalin his- memory,
he had sl.ed it fur his loss. How different was the con-
duct of the faction to which be alluded. Instead of
meeting to pay is tribute to the 'virtues of the great titan
whom they pretended to admire, the first act resorted to
by them.was•ro assemble 'together, turcuilleet their braces, to
recommend the organization of parish meetings, 'for what—
not to stipport 'his Hon. Ft iend; but to denounce venarance
against, and to crush aman whom they could tiot keep out
of Patliament.--(Lond cheering.) That faction had itudaei-
nuSly given the present Cantest.a different appearance ; they
had rendered it a war of religion instead of a contest of
honourable' riValship.' 'They had, through their organs, the
disaffected Press of Dublin, threatened every freeman, who'
81)Ould 'dare' exercise the right• of his' Elective 'Franchise,
with tiothingiess•than extermination—they' had threatened
to use against them " collectively and individually those
Weapons which 'God and Nature bad put into their hands."
—(Hear, hear !)—Mr. Ellis read a passage froth the 1 hildin
Eveiting. Pose etirroborative Of his' stateMent,,i Upon which
he commented with much force and animation, and-apoealed
to the As4eiriblf whether 'the Freemen of 'Dublin Were to he
put down by .such -wicked and —foolish threats ? He then
alluded to the hereditary ight, which it was_ said "his antago-
nist .had on the-suffrages bf thv'Citizens of Dublin. He
denied in Soto the existence of any right or claim which could
_hand ditWel the cotes of freeinet), at retestainetitary deed would
confer goods,or chattels; and allowing fur a moment, the foik7e•
-of such a Vague p;osiiion, the 'hereditament ought to devolVe
upon Mr. Grattan's eldest brother. But to nu man
breathing would he resign his pretensions, when 'called
upon by the voice of his fellow-citizens; •and he .would
maintain to the last. period of his life their indepeio:
dente and his own. It had heels asserted that be was is place-
man, by holding a situation under the Crown ; but lie dis-
claimed this hate attempt to prevent' his retinal.. Ile held
his office as a right,-and by a Patent from which his ;Majesty's
Ministers or. es-enthe King himself could-not- remove hint.
He held it by as flint a tenure as any ittliee geotleniaa in the
country held hiS, estate, and it: was:acqiiired by him withoitt
being indebted to the favour of any man or set 'of men. In
conchisimilic liegod leave to say; t hat much as ,he.uespeeted
the freeholders of Madill, he could not think of potting, th e
votes of one htiotlred imlividmils of obit class in .competitiou
with the unbiassed, suffrages of 3000 Protestant Freemen,—
(Cheers,—anal rentintled then; That thil Was not a contest be-
tween Mr. Grattan and Mr. Ellis, but a contest , between the
independence of the Freemen of Dublin and a domineerine
but contempiible laCtion: Mr'. Ellis •sat'down in the:mitist of
loud and utianituous shoots of applause.
Mr. GRATTAN commenced by stating-the many arts of kind-
nesshis father had received .from the citizens of Dublin ; he
rebutted the attack which haul been made by j is Honffireahle
Friend, in supposing he .had any thing-to.qto with the Docu-
ment he had read from the public Papers ; he protested he
would not be guilty of any act so base; he ado-tired the Re-
volution of 168 a; but the one 'of -IWO.] was the English, that
of I'M was Ireland's; he trusted, if returned, that bring
!nu:night in tinder the immediate tuition of his honoured fa-
ther, he would he found as :ardently supporting the cause of
his country; if not, he wotild stilfsuppoil her, by being re
turned for some other place, arid strumely tequesteui theit
support in the cause of their country'.—(Mash applao,,e.)
Both the Candidates having retired, Mr. Minehin said, that
appreciating as lie clicl the merits of Mr. Grattau,
young Gen leman adinired, yet knowing the
ahjhties of Mr. Ellis, whose claiins on their support csrre of
paramount importance; he should feel it his duty to submit
the following Resolution tut the Assembly:—
" itesolved—That Thomas Ellis, Esq, is a fit arid proper

perecin to teptesent edite thy in.reell:Atileilt; 'Mid that we
support him with our votes and interests at the enstifng
t itm."
This resolution, as in :lie first instance, was seconded bi
:anus Blacker, Esq.
Mr. HARTY moved an amendment to the reeolfition, in
effect that the name of Heine Grattan be placed after that
of Thomas Ellis.
This gave rise to much desultory conversation, Mr. Hart/
maintaining that the object of his arneedment areas not to
select either of the Candidates ler their approval, but that by
inserting the name of Henry Grattan in the original rcsolua
tion, it would spew the constituent body that theyeweee both
tit and proper persons to represent the City.
Mr. Wm. LONG was decidedly hostile to the- amendment.
It was ridiculous to propese two persons as equally fit, wiled.
in point of fact there was but Vale vacancy. All the Assembly
had to der was to select one of the two Candidates who had
offered themselves. In his opinion there could be 'no doubt
of the eligibility of Mr. Ellis, who. was as independent a mad
as any in that house, or the country at. large. The ,foulest
aspetsions had been cast upon the character of that most ree
spectable Gentleman, and it was peculiarly the duty of that
house;-and of every loyal treeniati to support him with heart
and hand.
Mr. WILLIS agreed .that there must he a choice made of
one or althea' of the Candidates, said therefore moved, that
" the name of -Henry Grattan, Esq. be substituted for that
of Ellis, Esq." which would he meeting-the question
openly and upon fair grounds.
Mr. HAIiTY, having withdrawn his amendment, seconded
that of Mr. Willie, and argued at seine length ma the superior
claims of Mr. Grattan, in gratitude-to the memory of Its
fat her.
Captein VarasietOtee deprecated the line of conduct adopt est
by those who called themselves- Mr. Gimlets's friends. '1 hey
