Mr. Bract made bow midi( the hiffings and

Sir Pease's Boaorrr begged leave to retorn his
hearty thanks to theirs freeholders who bad honoured
bibs with their fuppert today. The Rate of the poll
this day was to him by no means difcouraging. but
rather infpired him with the conviction that the inde-
peadence.of the County would gill alert itfelf. There
were a few nbierrations which he walled nitse to
Minh to the confideration of the eleelors, knowing,
as he did, that when the poll (horrid be finillieti, con-
fideration would be too late. He could not forbear,
in the it'd place, from noticing the declarations of
form popular candidates, after their election was fe
cured to them, hat which they had carefully kept
not of the view of their conflituents is the courfe of '
the poll. In the Borough of Southwark, he oliferv-
ed that Mr. Henry Thornton, the moment his elm-
thew was declared, informed his coaaituents of dre•
tenparalleled facrißees they would be called on to
mike_ s a fat of which, tillthat moment, he had Li sr-
istegy omitted to give them the llightea hint. In
She mawnerbe Warred that Mr. Wilberforce. when
returned for the County of York, alto took an op-
portunity of informing his conftituents of the uopa-
talleled racrifices they would have to make, but of
which he too, previous to his Avalon, dkought it
unneateffory to apprize them. Would it not have
bees fair that fuch declarations had been earlier
made, that the eledlors might have judged whether
perfoni who Were of opinion that unparalleled focii-
;pis ought Bill to be made, were %Vint/1Y 01 their
fopprt t Were they not entitled tooth, Mhere was
Cie return for the enormous facrikes to which they
bad already fulstnitted ? And what Was to be done
for them on account of the additionA, and even at
this moment unparalleled far:ll46cm which they were
Rill to be,called nn so mate ? he hoped, therefore, the
Gentlemen near him, who flood fo high on the poll,
)Iwould be prevailed on now to flaw his tentiments on
men and *teatime, and that he would not, like die
Members fur Southwark and York, remain filent to'
the clofe of the poll, and then join with them in the
neceffty of unparalleled facrifices being fubmitted to,
in addition to thole under which we alreadygroased.
, 'The declarations of louse of thofe men, who holding
places and penfions which they had never done any
,thing to Merit, vet fought to court the popular favour,
were, he confeffed, fnmewhat remarkable. The Right
lion. the Mahager of Drury Lane and Treaturer of
"the Navy was unqueflionably, in this rape& more
.'than commonly confpicuous. He held himfelt out
as the pureß of the pure, as the only one of kis party
„ who was entitled to any credit. For inilance, be
teprefented hlmfelf as the only perfon who had fup-
ported him (Sir Francis) in his enquiry into the (late
of Geld Bath Fields pnifon, inferring dwely that
that inquiry had not been countenanced by the mass
who win charatterrifed as the a. belt of patriots,"—
waking himfelf, in this way, better than the bed.--
Again, he took they it to hinkfelf, that while hi* friends
bad applied to the Magilltates to have a putilkao.,
who had offended him Jiving the clef:lion, deprived,
of his licence, he (Mr. Sheridan) would not allow it
to be done—as if it wets a virtue to him, that the'
influence of men in power was not direr:lad in the
procuring an aft of grievance, oppreffon, and injul
tine to be committed under the tandion of Marne-
riot authority. Such, however, were the only light,
in which his charatler and condad could be thorn
to advantage, by being controlled with the defeat
and vices of his colleagues. He Could thine only by
reprefenting them as gilded two pence. compared
with his (telling gold. The Rate of the country at
prefent, under the Adminitiration of Lord Grenville,
reminded him (Sir Francis) of a Rory told in the
New Tellament of a man poffeffed with t Devil,
whom it fortunately left for a feafoo, but afterwards
returned with a number of Devils vmrfe than itlelf,
when, indeed, as naturally be expeeted, the
laft cafe of that man was worfe than the firlt. Thi.,
in his opinion, was the cafe of tbis country at die
prelim moment. An exprefs declaration of the fen.
tirnents of its Reprefentatives wits, therefore, in Inch
eircumllances, peculiarly requiiite, that independent
men might fee that they were not likely to add to,
rather than to alleviate, the burdens under which
we were now fn nearly linking. He again thanked
the independent Freeholders, who had 'avowed him
with their lupport. The fpeeA throughout was re-
reive,d with the greeted applaufe.
Mr. Mt Luso thanked the Eleaors foe the addi
clonal mark of Atm with which *fey had honoured
him. He had etpeeled that the Hun. Baronet. fol-
lowing the advice he had given him yetterd.ty, would
when he thanked them for the exertion they had
made in his behalf this day, have defired them to
look at. the pull ! The meeting then adjourned.
