z.ns would have performed, had they been similir,y
situated. He had been accustomed to hard labour lons
his boyish days, and therefore labour became ar o'iject
of pleasure and a recreation to him, which would prove
hard to others. He underto[ik those duties lor the rod
of the public ; that undertaking was, at once, to please
himself, and serve the best interests of his country_
these were the great and the only considerations which
influenced his public conduct. It was well known to
same present, who were acquainted with him in early
life, how he had been accusti[med to Lard labour, in the
literal sense of the word ; and those habits, which were
performed first from necessity, were easily transferred to
other duties (when ample independence had crowned
his labour) devoted to the service of his country.—
Having sought and found his fortune in a dangerous
climate, he returned to his native country, and finding
that labour was to him a pastime, he resolved to de-
vote the remainder of his days to the enjoyment of the
good opinion of his countrymen, with whom he was to
spend the remander of his life. Haying acquired a
fortune, he had no emolument to look for from office;
no family for whom he had to make provi,ion beyond
his meant—all that he therefore desired to seek for and
acquire was the confidence and good opinion of his
countrymen, and the mode of acquiring that had been
detailed to them by their much respected Chairman.
He had seen the poverty and distress of other countries
from exaction and power. He could not look uponthe
excess of taxation in our own without feeling thattan-
tion was the cause of much suffering, which these only
who examined could learn. The Hon. Ch rirman had
truly said, that the extravagant expenditure of the
public money completely prevented reform in the
abuses of government. He felt that the most effectual
mode to remedy that part of the evil—the corruption
that existed—was to cut those sinews c ff which supported
the extravagar.ce. After alluding to Parliamentasyll,-
form, and urging the citizens of Edinburgh to denond
year after year a representation suitable to the new
circumstances of the city, Mr. Hume thus proceeded—
When he found in the House of Commons the details of
our great establishments contained in a page or two, and
that millions were to be voted on estimates of a few
liner, and when he called on Ministers to produce the
accounts in detail, the task of checking and exposing
was apparently as difficult as that for which he now
cared oil them to step forward and ask, among the few
remaining privileges which had been lcft us by the wis-
dom of our ancestors, was, that we were not obliged to
g.ve our sanction in voting sums of which we knew not
the items. The accounts were laid before us in a plain,
simple form, and unexampled success followed his es-
ertions. The time fcr making the experiment was for-
tunately suitable, for though it met with much oppo,i-
tion, the pockets of the country gentlemen were rather
empty, and therefore they were more disposed to ac-
quiesce in plans of retrenchment than they had beenfor
some time before or since—(Applonse). Thus, by a
patience and perseverance, which cost him less troutr:e
than many might suppose, aided by the peculiar Mr-
cumstances of the times, he had been able toget over
difficulties which at sine time had almost been deemed
insurmountable. Of his own acts he did not with
to speak ; they spoke for themselves, for they had
not been hid under a bushel. Year after year had
persons traduced him and endeavoured to stifle every
effort of his. They, however, forgot, that while
they supposed they were trampling him to the dust,
they were in fact taking the most effectual means to
insure the ultimate success of his measures, and t°
lower themselves—(Applause). The Members of the
House of Commons, whatever faults k had, still Pe':

speak ought, and thus proclaim to the people the eras
thteatened, by which the public might judge, and by
their opposition check or prevent the rnischief—(At
