Total Majority in favour of Mr. MAlNwAatwo
Upon the poll being declared by 'the Sheriffs—
Sir Planets BUEDETt addrelled the Meeting to
the following purport :—Gentlernen, you will per-
ceive from the poll of this day, that the exertinn.
which you have made face talk I had the honour of
addreffing yuct, alteady begin to be felt ; that the
tide has turned and (et in our favour (applaufes).—
The hope, Gentlemen, which i have ever entertain-
ed of our final fuccefs, is cottfiderably increafed by
this event, becanfe yno will recoiled that this is the 1
day upon which the poll has been leaft favourable to
'
us during the late as well as the prefern conte R. This
circumitance holds out to my mind the mull encou-
raging profpee. Indeed the afforances which my
friends have received, who have been good enough
to make applicatirm. in my favour, and the promifes
made to myfelf in the courte of my perfanal canvas,'
bib` guarantee that we all, on Monday next, make'
farther and important (hr`,progrefs in the advantage
which we have obtained today; that in fe&, Gen-
tlemen, the kale will decidedly tutu in our favoar—
VeV.").
ntlernen, I fhoold not think it nece
by ffary to take
fo much of your time, day after day, in addreffing
you, and thus detain you Irnm that which is much
more material to our common intereft, the protects-
tion of an alive and vigorous canvas, if it were not
for the calumnies which are daily invented and pro-
pagated by nor adverfary and his agents. Whether
you regard the enclofures which are fent in circutsu
letters to the feveral fteehnldeti of the county—whe-
ther you regard the advertifements that are publitbed
by our opponent lsimfelf, in which he c.arges /our
efforts to maitt.tin your independence as the fouled
coni piracy—whether you regard the fables which ap-
pear in the hired public prints of the day, or the pla-
cards which are fo widely diffufed in the capital, you
will find nothing but the fame Gotha nob of " trea-
au and perjury.' If thole perfons will deal in falfe-
hood and calumny, they Ibould at hall thew force
ingenuity, and not coallantly perfin in repeating the
fame ablurd tale, and in almost prectiely the fame
terms. It is unfortunate for their objeet, that their
csdamnies are In widely and fo unfparinglyfcattered
over all the bleb characters who have honoured MC
with their fupport ; that though their malignity is
great, the drat of it i.. impotent. By the uniformity
of their grain and method. and by the injudictons ,:if-
tribution of their Render, they abtolutely loft their
own pnrpofe (apersfes). Thefe men feem to have
adopted the maxim that "fufficient for the day is the
be thereof," but they fhould remember that the fame
lie will not (office for every day in the week ; they
&sold, therefore, endeavour to vary a little their ca.
inmnies, and thus give them fornewhat the appear-
ance of novelty, and not to allow them to grow Rate
in the hands of their cuannurs. By negleding this,
their invedives moll: to excite the
ai interelt of the pub-
lic. They rather provoke the Jog and indignation
of the liberal and the hone% becaufe, notwithftending
the prt fret charge againa my friends and me, they
base never attempted to tultain it by any thing like
fat or argument It is not enough conftantly to keep
up the cry of .1 treafon and penury." It is rain and
indecent, and fottething mute, loofely to hazard Inch
accufations. If they have any foundation in truth,
why are they not immediately brought before the
proper tribunals, for inquiry and poni(hroent (ap.'
thrafer) f Where there is no evidence to futlain fuch
acc orations, how inveterate is the malice that call even,
*ffiß in promoting their currency.
Gentlemen, the charge of perjury has been ad-1
eanced againd my (fiends. Had loch a ferinus of-,
dance been imputed. to perfons in the humbler walks
of life, I have no occafion to defctibe to you the con-
fequences likely to relish. Every man mull feel that
it might produce the ruin of that who are not plac.
ed in eircumliances to motet! them againfl the afper-
inn. Fortunately, however. Gentlemen, it has hap
pened in this intiance, that thole calumniators have
feleded men of confequence and refredabilny for the
objets of their accufation--men who are perfedly
capable of vindicating thernfelves—men whole hue.
yell cannot be affeiled by thy charge of this nature.
But yet I troll that every man of honour and libe-
rality will oust tae ftsul charge with as much indig-
nation as if the :.:9 of the gentlemen againft whom
is pointed were the immediate confcquence—(4.

Gentlemen, I would ads, whether a more gref,

man, and whether it is pf.dible that a woman, a gen-
tlewoman, fhould thus obtrude herr& upon public
notice—lbould in far forget what is becong her
