every thirst: within the compass of his power for
the benefit and prosperity nt his country.
This
.sneech was received with long-continued
plaudits; after which
Colonel DAvtFs rose, and said; that this was
the happieq and proudest day of his life, HS he
now found hinsgelf placed in that situation to
which he had so long aspired, and the object of
his ardent wishes thtts accrnttplished ; hut dirt
such were his feelings unon the of casino that he
was (pike unable to give diem nth-lame expression.
I'll.cre was, however, one. iequest which lie would
endeavour earnestly to make to them, in the first
instance, namely, that they woold use their utmost
eint,,avours to establish peace, good-will, and una-
nimity throughout their city. The contet bad,
indeed, been a severe one, but now that it was
concluded, he sincerely hoped that all aflituosity
might cease, and that any angry feelings winds
had originated in the struggle might he barred
oblivion. lie trusted that he should now he re-
garded by all parties as one of their taitlift4l Repre-
sentatives, niost and anxious to devote his
time, attention, and best abilities to their
Sets ice, and to promote to the utmost of
his power their peculiar interests, and the
general welfare of the country. lie then
begged leave to acknowledge his sense of the
impartiality which had been observed by the
Shelitt during the comest, and said, that whatever
that Gentleman's private teelings might have
been, he had not suffered them to intertere with
his public duty ; an acknowhdgment which was
not made its order to propitiate the good-will of
that Gentlemao upon a future occasion, but its
strict justice to his upright and impartial cooduct.
'[lse gallant Colonel here proceeded to observe,
that as he was in some degree a stranger to them,
lie might per.haps be allowed to say a few words of
himself ; and though he could not, like the Noble
Lord, boast or a long line of illustrious ancestors
who by their rank and talents had adorned and
served their-country, yet he could'claim a de-
scent irthn an ancient sod honourable tinnily,
who had lived upon' their own estates as Coun-
try gentlemen for many generations, and who
had. experienced severe losses daring the civil war,
con.oltience of their attachment to Charles I.
Adverting to the liue
.of political conduct which
be should tonsils., the Colonel said, that it should
be his endeavour not to render himself liable to
the charges either of'subservieney to the Govern-
ment, or of being au advocate for revolutionary
principles, and that he was determined neither to
be die- tOol of Ministers nor of faction. it was
needless tor him to detain Isis hearers longer upon
this subject after the very eloquent speech of Isis
Noble Colleague, who had expressed Isis (Colonel
D.'s) sentiments much more happily than he could
himself have done; and as he-wished that they
should judge of him rather by his conduct than
by winds or professions. If he did not so dis-
charge his duty as to give him a fair claim to
their favour, his just punishment would be that
they should turn their backs upon him when
he presented himself to. them at any future Elec-
tion ; but if, on the other hand, the du-
ties of his arduous situation should he discharged
with fidelity, and his conduct butts in private and
public life- be guided by houour and integrity, he
telt no hesitation in believing that he should insure
the support of all—even of thosewho were so lately

his opponents. lie cheerfully undertook the task
which the Electors had been pleased. to impose
upon hint, determined not to lose the confidence
which. they had so kindly placed in hint by any
want. of the most anxious endeavours•to deserve
it. The COlonel then expressed his warmest gra-
titude to his friends for their zealous and conti-
