11-ANTS COUNTY MEETING.

` Saturday-Si' meeting of the County or Hampshire
was held at the Castle of Winchester, to take into
consideration the propriety of petitioning Parliament,
in the present alarming state of the Agricultural
Interest, and the subject. of a remedy for the evils
▪ tinder which. that interest now labours. The Meet-
ing 'was called lay:serest Magistrates—Sir T. BAILING,
HENRY PUDD, ROBERT WRIGHT, JOHN DUTIIY,
WM. NRWEOLT, THOMAS BUTLER, and .MICHAIII.
HOY, Esqrs'. the High Sheriff having declined to
comply with the Requisition, addressed to him by a
number of Freeholders for that purpose.
At twelve o'clock; several Magistrates and Gentle-
men having come into the Grand' Jury Chamber, sir
THOMAS BA RING was voted into the Chair unani-
mously. The Court before the Grand Jury Chamber
was occupied by a large assembly of respectable
persons, amounting to between four and s,ooo.—The
speakers addressed the Meeting, from the different
windows of the Grand Jury Hall.
Sir Thomas BARING, after having been called to
the Chair, presented himself at the middle window,
and spoke to the following. effect :•••il Gentlemen,
the very flattering manner in which you have re-
ceived the proposal that I should take the Chair,
leavei me no option—l am bound to obey your com-
mand, and I will endeavour to discharge the arduous
and important duties you have imposed upon me
without fear, favour, prejudice, or partiality, and to
the utmost of my humble ability. Gentlemen, the
late 'High Sheriff has thought proper to refuse—
(Shonre)—to convene a Meeting, at the request of a
most respectable body of Coe inhabitants of this
County. I shall not impute motives to that Gentle-
man, or anybody else; it is sufficient for me that I
know my own to be without reproach. I shall, there-
fore, studiously avoid falling into that fault on this
occasion. But, Gentlemen, at the same time, as an
Englishman, I must, and have a right to speak about
the measure itself; and, Gentlemen, I think I cannot
speak of it in terms of too strong reprobation —(.412-
plause).—l characterise it as an exercise of little brief
authority,' to prevent the People from meeting to-
gether for a legal purpose, and thereby a violation of
their Constitutional rights and privileges—(Applause)
A Requisition is signed by no less a number than
500 of the Land owners of this County, calling on
Ole Sheriff to convene a Meeting. If that Requisi-
tion did not contain the names of many opulent and
large Proprietors, it certainly embraced those of up-
wards of 500 of the mo.,t respectable class of Owners
arid Occupiers of Land to be found in the kingdom ;
and, to rcfase to convene a Meeting at the, call of
such a body is, I say, to violate their rights and pri-
iileges—(Lond applaztsc). Gentlemen, it has been
said, that disorder and tumult are likely to attend
these Meetings—l deny the fact, it is a libel on the
people to say that they are prone to tumult. The
people. complain, and naturally, when they suffer.
The most harmless reptile that.crawls the earth—the
very worm, when trodden on, will to n upon the
foot that treads it. But if the language of complaint
be so ungrateful, it is in the power of those who so
much dislike it to Cause it to cease. Remove the
evil, and you remove the discontent—the people are
nut unrelenting,.
They carry anger as the flint hears fire,
'Which much enforc'd cloth give a hasty spark,
And strait is cold again.
If, Gentlemen, we, as Englidnen, boast of the pos-
se: ion of liberty, let us not lose it by a dastardly re-
pugnance to make a sacrifice to preserve it—least of
. all, let us not lose it by indifference and neglect.—
Gentlemen, let me turn your attention to what is
going on in other parts of the world. Gentlemen, you
see how other countries are making strugOes for
liberty ; remember what was sacrificed for the esta-
blishment of your own ; let me thus admonish you,
Gentlemen, to hold it as a sacred deposit, to which
your posterity is as much entitled as you are. What
is it, Gentlemen, that forms a nation—
What constitutes a State?
Not high-raised battlements, or high-raised mound
Thick wall, or moated gate :
Not cities proud with spires and turrets crowned,
Not bays and broad-armed ports
Where laughing at the storm rich navies ride,
Not stared and spangled Courts,
Where low-born baseneis waits perfume to pride,
No—men, high-minded men,
Men, who their dudes know,
And, knowing, dare maintain them!
—(Applausc).—Gentlemen, we are assembled to take
int(' consideration the present state of agricultural
distress. I, in my conscience, believe that the cor-
rupt state of the !louse of Commons is the foundation
of all the evils the people are now sufferitq,,—(Cheers).
—But, let nit: not be misunderstood—my notion of
Eeform is this—it goes to the entire eradication of
corruption from the Commons Howe of Parliament.
—To it you are to attribute the amount of your Na-
tional Debt—to it you must ascribe the important
and Most lamentable Act for suspending Cash Pay-
ments, in 1797. After a few other observations—
Mr..Mattsit presented himself at the window, to
ll
propose a Petition. He reprehended the conduct of!
tie High Sheriff in not calling the Meeting. He was
rejoiced to see before him such a Meeting of the
sound, wholesome, middling orders. The conduct of
the Sheriff was a breach of duty. He should not have
gone about to canvass the opinions of the great people,
whether or not there should be a Meeting. If the
People were distressed they were not to complain ;
but if the great folks were to feel uneasy•-•—lf a little
linger of one of them were but to achetbey must
have scope enough far their humour, and a poultice
out of the vitals of the people was, by all means, to
be applied to it. There were three classes of persons
who proposed remedies for the present evils ; they
might be called the Transilionists, the Over-prod:a.-
tiontuts, and the 7axationists. Transition meant a sud-
den change ; but it was a curious sort of sudden
change that lasted seven or eight years. Now, he
begged to refer.them to figures, in order to strew how
