spoken of On. those hustings by his friends, in
terms which he should apologize for rather than
adopt. But such as :his 'services bad been, it
must be theta alone that had procured him their
notice and support ; for he was in a'manner tint-

passed his whole life amongst them. Most 'hear-

were not to be expretsed by wOrds—they were to
