easily distinguished from mock loyalty as.blind
obe-
dience from the rational obedience of freemen--.;
(Applayse),The people of England should not, in '
his opinion, rest satisfied with the half work which
they had already performed. The people saw, that
in spite of the general opposition to the odious mea-
sure against the Qneen ; in spite of the pronounced
opinion of almost the whole people of El...J:lnd, Mi-
nisters still resolved to persevere ; though once de-
tected and defeated in their iniquity, they intended
to bring forward the unhallowed measure a second
time. to make one expiring effort to destroy her Ma-
jesty, and to depress the people—(Applause).—No-
thing could be more unfair or more undignified than
the conduct of Ministers; they would even torn their
defeat into triumph ; though her Majesty was ac-
quitted by the Prrliament, still it seemed that, in
their opinion, according to their notions of jus-
tice, she was to undergo some species of punish-
ment ; she was to undergo degradation,' as if she
were pronounced guilty. Such being the notion of
Ministers, they having, from the commencement,
determined to degrade and punish her Majesty,
whether innocent or guilty, it appeared to him
that they might as well have avoided the trouble
of going through the form of a trial, they might
as well have saved the country the expense of the
prosecution, and the misery and shame of reading
their infamous evidence—(Applause). It was true,
that the House of Lords gave up the prosecution,
but it was equally true, that the condition of her
Majesty was little better than if she were found
guilty. The spirit of persecution followed her. Ac-
quitted by the Peers, applauded by the People, she
yet had no name in the Liturgy—she had no Palace
in the land—the creatures of the Court, and the hire-
lings of the Press, attacked her with impunity and
without shame. Acknowledged as the Queen of
England, she had no rank—she had no provision
—no consolation, save the consolation of a woman
conscious of innocence—no protection, but the
regard and good opinion of the People of England !
That, he acknowledged, was a great protection—it
was one which her oppressors never possessed—which
corruption could never purchase—(Applause). Ile
trusted that something would be done in Parliament,
though he could not Hatter himself by saying that
such would be the case. In the higher House, some
Noble Lords, true to their dignity, as well as to the
interests of the country, had honourably resisted the
attacks of Ministers—(Applause). Ministers werr de-
feated, and they flew for protection to those who dealt
in mock loyalty ; those worthy persons appeared to
him, anxious to monopolise, not merely the good
things of the wcrld, but the good words also, they
modestly represented themselves as the only good
husbands—the only affectionate fathers in the coun-
try—tilos • only men, in short, who paid adoration to
GOD, or service to the King—(LOughter). The People
would despise those usurpers of the loyal dictionary.
He hoped that the country would chew those men
that these were people left in England who were not
like stocks or stones, but men worthy of attention,
whose interests must be consulted--whose feelings
must be respected, and whose liberties must not be
violated by any set of men who might pretend to
govern England--(Applause).
After Mr. HORHOUSE concluded, the Meeting was
dissolved by the SHERIFF, and very shortly the
streets were cleared of the immense multitude which;
but a few minutes before, had rent the air with.
their plaudits. . .
