COUNTY OF HADDINGTON MEETING.
FURTHER PARTICULARS.
A more ntruerous and respectable Meeting ha s not,
re are informed, been held in this County, dur-
q many years, than that held on Tuesday se'nnight
IA of which we gave a brief notice in the Star of
tl Ist instant.

D 1111 D ANDERSON, Esq. of St. Germains, Con.

..ter of the County, opened the business of the Meet-
g. It was well known, he said, that seditious meet-
gs, to an alarming extent, were taking place, and
ery friend of his country ought to employ his ut-

ost efforts to suppress such unlawful proceedings.
Ile Marquis of TWEEDALE rose, and stated, that I
cane there unprepared for making any observe-
is on the subject which had called them together.
had, however, to submit to the consideration of
Meeting some Resolutions, which had been com-
•,. ated to him by a near relative, Lord F. Hay,
was then absent. These, he presumed, would
2 with the approbation of the Meeting. As to
lf, his Lordship observed, he fully concurred in
absolute necessity of something being done to re-
ess the turbulent spirit which seemed so prevalent
cughout the country.
The Earl of WEUYSS and MARCH, in a very neat
ech, which was much applauded, seconded the
•esolutioas. His Lordship thought that no well-
. posed person could look on as an indifferent spec-
or ci those Meetings which were now held in diffe-
..t parts of the country, without feelings of detesta-
and abhorrence. The numerous and undisguised
,:.empty, by factious and turbulent persons, to sow
:cord in the country, demanded the most watchful
:12tion. The question for the Meeting to consider,
zs!reed his Lordship, was—Whether they would
age their present glorious Constitution, as
by their ancestors, for a state of anarchy
confusion, and give way to the inflammatory
tkrragues of demagogues, who sought only to stir
:;•.distuibance by 11asphemous publications and se-
c-. cas speeches ?
The Earl of HADDINGTOW said, it would be quite
,!;erfluous in him to add a word to what seemed to
t- :he manifest tone and feeling of the Meeting. He
-^"ctived, that an Address, founded on the Rem:ali-
t-4 which had been brought forward, should b
;':posed.

;
Address was then read, which, happening to
.tandae in the sentiments .of the Resolutions, was
."...37IMIUSly approved of by the Meeting.
• , e Earl of HADDIPOTOW observed, that this was
ter proof of the unanimity which prevailed on
• t',seihject. The Noble Mover of the Resolutions,
the Gentlernan who had prepared the Address,
:I..oreship had reason to believe, were totally un-
<-•:ainted with each other's intention, and had no
finicatiou whatever on the subject.
. as Chairman of the Meeting, was
t effected to forward the Resolutions and Address
Sect-etary for the Home Department.
•‘• G. Su•rrix, Bart. M.P. for the County, begged
assule his Constituents, that he should consider it
d"tYi as their Representative in Parliament, to
`acnii In his place on the first day of its meeting, to
s
ex-
it such measures as they might think most
,terit at the present crisis.
1, •Inss were then voted by acclamation, to the
Ct I-Inoolmorow, for his conduct in the Chair.
