WArrumAN (Ow, at the request of the meet-
ing, mounted upon the toble,) ,4.(1, it %%,)iild be In
vain for hint to describe his feelings on the pre-
sent occasion. Out all the occasions in which he
had ever appeared before the public, he had ne%er
experienced the kindness of his friends so much
as he did 110 W j because they had manitesien
to-
watds hint the sincerest attachment. lie coli•I-
-dered this to be the greatest irtionph that ever
had been achieved for the trielllis of flel'llolll ;
and great as his anxiety had been, he consoled
himself through all his ditlicolties, under fire idea
of his being supported by the best of frieuds.—
H4d he not had the support and ptotectiou of Stull
friends as now surrottuded him, he should nese,-
have had courage to go WI with the cotsti.st iu
which he had embarked. lie could lint suppose
that a meeting like this had assembled •oi4et her
merely tor the sake of all humble imlivichiai like
himself.

Ile khev4, they had wet t het e tor the

cause of constitutional freedom, and for the be-
petit of the whole British Empire. lie had not
been brought forward in the City of London by
ati! powerful individuals : humble as he tvas, he
bAd even been selected by his fellow ciiizens to
oppose a corrupt influence that had fur many
years oppressed the City of London ; and by their
favour lie had overthiown a power as gig,ttoic
a, any that ever existed in any plAce ihrongitout
the kingdom. In this he had been ctotipletely

Luc cessful. It would be fidsonie itt him to
speak of himself on ...old; stn occa,ion as tlii, ; hilt
hr Twist say, that how hi, earliest years—froni his
boyhood. lie had imbibed the very ()riotous lie
atterteards held forth in his inattirer ytars. fly
had no hesitation in declaring, that his political
opinions were !minded on tho3e of the late Mr.
Fox i and that up to this day he had

to change those opinions. Jo the year 1793,

when the nation was about to he pluni!ed into a
war that had for its object the destruction of tite
liberty which was then begitit.ing to swing up
in France, and when new principles ot taxation
Avere about to be adopted without tepresentation,
and this country became involved 111 a rind ‘var,
which hail brought innumerable difficulties upon
it ; at that tithe he was the first man who, in the
city of London, publicly forward to op
pose that war, and the principles uu which it had
been entered into. lie would pasi over all the
other historical events of the country, and crate
to the measure that had been proposed for car-
rying on the war. Tile cruel and oppressive
Income Tax was resorted- to ; and that Tax
he opposcil, flow its commentement to its disso•
lotion Ile was the first who would pe tit 0u
nosiost it ; tie was the first man in the kingdom
mit ot Parliament who had opposed it, and he had
t last contributed in no small degree to its over-
t irow. All this had at least ,tended to keep the
limn,• of liberty alive in the City of London, mill
had led to the great victory which was recently
achieved there. The whole merit of this victory
must be attributed to them ; tor they hau only se-
lecttd him as the organ for conveying the ,r improv-
ed 11060115 of liberty. The triumph gained at
the battle ot Waterloo was nothing continued
to this ; for however honourable that vichily
might have been to the persons engaged in it, he
was sort y to say, that it hail not, as was asseeien,
tcrmin tied in establishing the liberties 01 Europe ;
because all the continent ot Europe was now fas-
tened down with chains, and these chaois were
rivettrd by the British Government's keeping au
hr tit y in France. Since then the people looked up
its vain to a reduction in the public expenditure ;
no reduction took place, nor was there any re-
form of abuses. The battle of IVaterloo was,
therefore, fought in vain, because the people
derived no advantage from it. But the trinity!'
Lich the City of London had now gained was
the greatest ever known. The city had always been
considered the Minister's strong hold ; it was in
London he had his horde of jobbers and cOntrac-
ttirs; and it was there where eve' y corrupt measure
f tvourable to his views was made •ij originate.
It %VHS thought that the citizens could never dis-
place those who had disregarded and insulted their
„pinions ; hut the thing was now done ; the British
Lion lad at length been roused, and hurled cor-
roption comp!etely front its seat. When he find
cattle into the Corporation ot London, lie had no
tither supporter than his worthy friend (hell in the
chair. Before that time, it was d dose col pont-
tiou, tinder the immediate influence ot the 'Mini-
sters. Since then a spirit of freedom arose, which
entirely appalled the Ministers. The Ministers

always bad their :pilthers, %vim stypported them at
the commencement of every new ineas,.re ; a d at
the commencement of the war for the critAting or
freedom on the Continent, a war whoop was raised
in 793, anti at that time a meet olg ()t. Mot cfrints
111111 ilaiikur, was held At Nlerchant Taylors' Ilan.
where att orthy friend of his (Ali Favell) had neatly

ther meeting in support 0( Nlinisiets and the
war, he ( \lr. ‘Vaitliman) would have h"t his lite,
if he bad not been sopported by several tricot's.
All the ;4 ini life-and-fortune gentlemen were
now dwindled into nothing ; and, said lie, " they
have lett is disloyal ;:entleinert to carry every thing
swimmingly before they now dare to
