Beak correAly, when we fay that Sir Francis Bur-
dett was (even a head of the whole poll.
The rumination having been doled. the 13heriffs
came on the hullings and proclaimed order.
Sir Tweets Bo 11.06'r came forward and addreffed
the people :
Gentlemen. in addreffingto you the very few words
necefrat it for me to fay ou. taking my leave of you
this day, I believe it will be right fiat to obterve, that
the iffne of this conteß, though I think it is not now
doubtful, is however not yet atcettalned• [aetrate.]
Though I am much gratified by the fatisredtion you
Co univerfally exprefs at the probable refult of this
concert. I beg .leave at the tame time to obterve, with
all proper retpeit and humility, that there is nothing
in the hour of.triumph that can better become Eng•
liftmen than moderation, difcretion, and temper.—
Gentlemen, while you trust your coollitutional sights
to your eonftitutional.Magittrates, and while you de.
pend for a fair refult of your exertions on the timer•
tiality and candour of the prefent Sheriffs, you can-
not, I am perfuided, repute thole rights where they
will become more (ecure. or to perfons better adapted
to tile their power and influence for your benefit and
advantage.—Gentlemen. it has been .the eharafterif-
tic of this County—it has ever been the,leading fea-
ture of Engliflnen, that however large, populous,
and numerous were the affemblies of the eaople,
however they are interefted on grave, c6.lfiltotig
points of public freedom, yet they never c..d in
difgraceful trantaaions which have too frequently dit-
tinguifited large affembles of people in lets free, and
leftfoitunate countries.—Gentlemen, I beg to inform
you all, that the refult of this day's poll cannot be
announced till to-morrow ; but the Court will be ad-
journed till nine o'clock in the morning, and I have.'
therefore one word to addrets to the Freeholders, who
had not the good fortune to enrol themfelves in the
litof thofe men who hereafter will be looked np to
by the County as its Saviour. I truß I need not
requife one exertion mote on the part of thole Free.
holders. For the fake of their own charaAers, which
mull fuperfeile every confederation, they will come to
this Poll Booth to-morrow, at nine o'clock, finally 1
to ettablifh their votes. and contradia. in the plaineft
and moil Ample manner, the calumnies employed
againft them. Before I depart, I beg leave to make
one or two general obtervations to the Freeholders,
of whom lhave now the confident hope of being,
again the Reprefentative in the Houle of Commons.
I should not think it neceffary, were it not for the
daily afperfions and inflanations pripagated through
the country agaiall my charm:ter and principles—
afperfions which I know have added Ilrength to the
force employed againft me, and damped the exer-
tions of my belt friends.—Gentlemen, had it not been
for that moll powerful and ufeful ally of my oppo-
• nents. this Poll, which. owing to fouls-of the bet
feelings of Englifhmen, has been at times to much
againft me; would. long ere this, have concluded ;
but it is an alliance which has been obtained by fall.-
hood and mitreprefentation, and I am confident that
without it the contett never could have been carried
lonas it bas been: I was going to Rate, that in my
political condua I have ever been a Ready rapport*,
of what is called the Whig interefl of this country.--
Without being a party-saran, without having an•pri.
cite views, I have on all (weal-ions, to the utmoll of
my abilities, given that intereit my unbiatred and
alive fupport. I have done this becaufe I believe
the Whig pi inciples are thole which mull rave the
country. lam of opinion that the Creed profeffed
by thole who (Import that interell, i. a Creed calcu-
lated for Freemen ; lent if I Mould find that the Wliig
intereft deferted its principles, or if the Tory intere
abandoned their errors, and let about repairing the
1 eonßitution of the country, you would find me as ar.
Beat in the ranks of their forces as I have hitherto
been in tkore of the Whigs.
Gentlemen, various have been the epithets affixed
to my name—among others fume have thought I was
a wild headed enthotiaß : that appellation does not
(bock me, for I know that in there times to labour for
the benefit of mankind is looked upon as the highctt
degreeaf enthufialm. The name of teixortt has been
applied to me in a ludicrous link ; but nettbe; this.
nor the more formidable epithet of Jacek", will deter
me from purloin* my endeavours to restore the rights
end liberties of the country. Some perfons, I know,
beeaufe I have.mct with them on my cancers, have
thought that I have fpoken dirrerpeetfully of the
Houle of Commons. To thole perfons I antwer, that
towards the conflitutional part of the Haute of Com
wont; no man has a greater elleem than forfeit. I
efteern, I venerate, I revere it, and I ani willing to
frontelk that I regard a feat in that Moore as the real
Reprefentative of 3cco Freemsn, the higheft honour
that can be conferred upon me. I prefer being the
guardian of the rights ct free Englufhenen mote than
any feat among Nobles, or eves a feat on the Throne.
With retpeel to the unconfrtutiocal part of that at-
ferobly, I publicly avow my indignation and eontempt.
There is one fatisfaetion I have. which is, that among
the many opprobrious notes applied to me, no man
has ventured to call me a flareilo man has ventur-
ed to fay that lam a friend to tyrants. My whole
objet his uniformly been, an attempt to (entre your
liberties, which I thought endangered; and if you
regard the Itrugglei which I have made with that
view, I (hall never regret any exertions which it ash
been in my (lower to make.—(Kriorsted twit of at-
ilailft.)—With there, obfirvations I take my leave, at
the time tinge begging to remind you q( the good
order, quiet, and difcreet condua which it behoiles
you, as you value your pi ivileges, to adopt, and both
of us, as we regard the country we live in, and the
great and glorious caulk our exertions eve rendered
uonmphant.—(latejfaret plasefitt,)
