tage could be gained with difpatch, he mutt give op many *gots

to hear the Honourable Gentleman fate the rearm that made hint
give up the principle of ballot; namely, that be did not pry:Muni

He certainly had more means than moil men of knowing this

The Right Honourable Gentleman had ban (ewe on his Honour-
able Friend, and acculed him of "an idle play on word," In
fpeakior of the change of pada% *lacers into recruiting officers,
the Gentleman liiinklf lad great choice of terms, but what terms
could be sired better than thole which convey the dirca truth i--
The Honour ibk Member then went at couridcrahl, icneth into

of a Recruiting lerjeant, which was to flatter, or rather esjel,, the
people into the army : not to be preci(e about peccadilloes, nor be
rqueamillt about taking amen that was dilate drunk. Would the

they paid the money, sod Government was to undertake the W-
ands ; a fort of divilion of labour between then,. I low could all
this prevent the cHmping I The parities would fend to a re-
gular crimp, as • man would fend to a fhoernaker. But this
Waal and ridiculous mode was, in fad, the whole novelty
et this much talked-of Bill. It tried to provide for two °b-

one quite riillinel from It, the formation of a permanent 1)1
