To the FREEHOLDERS of the COUN TY of MIDDLESEX.
G raw,
IF the Reprefentative fyllem of the whole Empire
were preferred, or even benefited In any manner, by the ap-
pointment of Mr. Mainwaring to the Reprefentstion of the Coun-
ty of Middlefen, I Oswald be the readieß perfon to congratulate
trsolt fincerely the County. and him, and niyfelf, on the oceafion ;
and to entertain a very different attar& for the influence and In-
ttrument by which that appointments has been obtained, than it
at prefent us my power to achnow ledge.
But, I fear, it is only the Borough fyltrm, and the fyitens of
eneruptii•n, whole prefemtlon ha. been attempted ; and for thole
fyßems, by whatever titles they may be &gulled, I &all always ,
avow the umiak abhorrence. They, and they only,have brought I
our Country into its prefent calamitous fithation, when Witted of '
indemnity for the part and fecurity for the future, which were
preanifed us, we are now thfornied by the belt authority, that we
can have nu confolation even for the paft, and but little hope for
the future.
No conliderable nation was ever mit down hot by the meafum
of to own Government. Aod though it to poffible that a whole
people, or all their real Reprefentatim, may adt miltakingly upon
Grove particular OCC4OII, yet their follies are always the Weft and
the belt. for they are always the &omit. But the people of this
Country are not guilty of their relent Rate; for had they poffelled
their Conti national controul, we (tumid now either not have heard
the menaces of as enemy, or Laic heard them with Jutland:de
contempt. •

But, Gentlemen, I too am at prefent able to offer you my eat-
gratulations al o. upon an occafion much more important thaa
any nfult of our late (trugalc, for a Nall portion of the miferable
remains of out mutilated and mangled, our inadequate and baffled
Rcprefentation. I congratulate you that we have at length got rid
of a baneful )unto, who were vid.uloos only in doroeitle oppref-
Gan, who, whllft the enemy Iwhent they had wantonly made
fach) was conquering Kingdoms, were thendelves Itrugrling to
fubdue a Colony ; whillt be vas vining battles, were carrying
queltiuns; whilit he was exhibiting lifts of his prifunera, were
falling up the number of their votes. Theft mat are gate, and
with them their odious and difiraecful meafures. Againft the
strappearante of fuch men and fueb meafures, we eau only be fe-
cora by a fair and fubliantlal itcprefentatioo of the people. To
this alio we may now look with confidence This onee obtained,
there will be no occalloo for our future (trusties; for It will never
be important i, a well regulated Country, whether th'a man or
that (hall repref.nt any particular part of it bat only that the
County at large GLIB fairly, progortionably, and ineorruptly,
appoint their own Reprefentatirm
'For this only have we *Toggled, and fur this only &all we con-
tinue to !truces. For Wa ultimate °bled no heti/Ice can be too
great. Whatever Cliftillee I have already made for this end, I
&an always be lady cheerfully to repent and I dun, that I Cull
eositlnec N like ester to be fupported by the Independent Free-
holders of the Comity, to whom I ant grateful for the fupport
already received. which, under all the various difeouraging eir
eunsllatiees of the otiourft,fuOleiently proves to me, that the caufe
of oar Country Is not yet defperate,
I have the honour to be. Gentlemen,
'four moll obliged and grateful
