SEXUAL DEBILITY AND STRICTURE.

was the remark of the great Dr. Sydenharo,
that acute diseases are the punishment of Ilaavinc; but
that chronic ones are inflicted by ourselves. The consequence
of a prevailing malady proclaims too feelingly to the sufferers
this unwelcome truth. What situation can be so pitiable where
the mind glows with passion which the infirmities of body can-
not indulge ?-I'.'here indiscretion, or mal-treatment have pro-
duced the premature debility Of age in the actual organs, and
where the bloom and vigour of manhood is no longer alive to its
natural youthful fire ? To such Messrs. COOPER and Co. offer

Mr. C A costar came forward, and was received with
loud applause. He hardly knew, he said. how to
return thanks to the Electors for the high situation
in which they had placed him. He had never, on
former occasions, stood higher on the poll on the
third day of the Election. He attributed this, not so
much to their personal regard to him, as to their ap-
proval of ti_e cause which he had always advocated
—(Cheers). The numbers on this day's poll fully
justified his prophecy on the first day, and he hoped
the Honourable' Baronet would now feel convinced
' of its truth. -He trusted also, that the worthy Baro-
net would imitate the example which he-(Mr. Cal-
vert) had set on a former occasion—that of resigning
when he found the contest hopeless. He would not
tall the Electors that he loved, that he adored them
—bet of,tisis he could assure them, that he should
always respect and estomndsoin. and attend, to /he
best of his power, to their interests--(Cheere). After
some observations en the worthy Baronet's station en
the poll, the Honourable Gentleman concluded by
assuring the Electors, that he should continue to
pursue that course in Parliament which had hitherto
been honoured with their approbation—(Loud
'cheering).
Sir Ranger Witsow, on coming in front of the
hustings, was. received with loud and repeated cheers.
He commenced with returning his thanks to the
Electors for the exertions of that day-a-exertions, he
hoped they would not feel offended at his using the
term, worthy of a patriotic army—(Applause). He
expected that the Honourable Baronet would see the
necessity of putting an end to this fretful and fruit.
less contest-.(Breve O. The worthy Baronet would
doubtless receive their thanks for giving up the.votes
which the Electors were about to confer upon him.
When they recollected the spirit with which .the Ho-
nourable Baronet bad conducted his forlorn-hope,
and the persecutions and trials to which his naturally
good temper had been exposed, he was -sure they
would allow him to march out with the honours of
war l—(Laughter). But he hoped they would be on
their guard, and not allow the Honourable Baronet,
as, was evidently his intention from his speech of yes-
terday, to march off with the hearts of their wives
and daughters, because their late Representatives
were jealous of such a treasure, and the laurels which
they might win, would be
.barren, if not entwined
with. the myrtle writath--(Lioighter). • The fact was,
that when the worthy Baronet. pronounced his flat-
tering encomium on " lovely woman," he addressee
,Ithnseic not to the Elector% but to a few fair Elee-
Armes who were present: The worthy Baronet
seemed to think, that,a man who had a tongue was
no man, if he could not win a woman—(Laughter).
The worthy Baronet had acted like a skilful General,
and when so pushed as to be thrown upon the defen-
sive, had rallied all his.forces, made a sally, and
acted on the offensive. But he forgot that he had to
do with an old soldier—with a man , who had spent
too much time amongst Hussars and Cossacks, to
make a forward movement without taking care to
have his flanks and communications well covered—
(" Breve, General !").—The worthy Baronet had re-
fused to give any pledge in support of Parliamentary
Reform. There was, Iwwever, one pkdgp which lie
, would give, and the calvary of which, it was said,
the late Electors had given, namely, 'that he would
not support Catholic Emancipation. The charge of
having been pledged to support this question, was
deliberately made against himself and his late col-
league—(" No, no! —" Yes, yes!"). He insisted
that this charge had been made, and he had a right
to enter into an explanation of it. The question of
Catholic Emancipation was a delicate one, and ought
never to be introduced, unless where circumstances
would prevent that irritation and angry feeling, to
which the discussion of religious subjects always
gave rise. A public hustings was not the place
where such a subject could be properly discussed.--
As it had however been brought forward, he felt it
due to himself, to the Electors, and to the commu-
nity at large, to state what was the course pursued
by him respecting that question. He was the more
ancious to de this, as it would put an end to all ca-
vils and disputes on the subject ia future. Sir Robert
then proceeded to state, that he'bad been brought up
with prejudices against Catholics. He was led to
believe, that Catholics were armed with fire and fag-
gots against all,tbase who professed a different per-'
suasion. He thonglit;that because there had existed
a religious war about 150 years ago, every Catholic
ought to be extirpated with fire and sword. With
those impressions he had gone abroad. On the Con-
tinent he expected to see the Catholic of his imagi-
nation. On the contrary, he met Catholic Officers
who were very good fellows. He had seen them
shedding their blood for the maintenance of the ho-
nour of England, and in support of its Constitution
—(Cheers). He found, too, that our fleets were man-
ned with Catholics, who had contributed, under a
Howe and a Nelsen, to give to this country the un-
divided empire of the ocean—(Loud cheers). He
saw in Germany; at the period of a religious war—he
saw in Russia also, that Officers, Catholic and Pro-
testant, lived as brothers, and that the only rivalry
between them was, who should stand foremost in de-
fence of his country, In America, too, that seat of
freedom, it was known that there was no religiousdicl
Itinction in the State. Why, then, should such exist in.
England ? There was no one who would pay so bad a
compliment to hie religion, as to suppose that its mem.-1
bers were in d anger of being made proselytes by the Ca-
tholics..—CA voice in the crowd, " I! you wish to op-
pose Ministers? support the Catholics, and they will be-
ad out:" The gallant General went ein to,

point out what had been the state of the Protestants in
France, previous to the Revolution. That event, he
observed, restored them to their pdlitital rights. He
had gene to Ireland. He there found a brave, a
free:hearted, a highlspirited nation, but sunk and de-
pressed under their corrupt Parliament. He never
saw misery and distress and Oppression so completely
enthroned as it was in that country. Was he then
to turn his back to the Petitions ofthese tieople, pray-
ing fbr inquiry into their situation? In the House
of Lards, he had heard the great champion of the
Protestant religion, Lord Liverpool, say, that there
was no fear to be entertained of Catholic tenets, but
they refused to comply with certain State forms, and
therefore it was that they were not emancipated:
But how had thetharge of supporting this question
been made out ? The fact was, that the only ques,
tion before Parliament was, for a Committee to in.'
quire into the state of the law respecting the oaths to
be taken by persons holding civil offices, and to see
if any and *hat alteration could be made in them
with safety to the State, &c. Now what was this
but asking tor inquiry? No Petition did less. If
.the Electors were to blame a man for supporting a
motion of this kind, how could they find fault with
the House of Connuosts for rejecting the numerous
Petitions which were from time to tittle preseuied to
them ? All that was asked, was a rule to shew
cause. And where was it found that a Judge, 6y
granting such a rule decided on the inelits- of the
question ? All that a Judge pledged himself to,
granting such a rule, was to do justice between bath-
parties, after they had been severally heard. This
and this only was he pledged to, by giving his vote
on the occasion alluded to. If the motion had been
granted, and if the House had gone into a Commit-
tee, then it would have been the duty of the Electort
to have met, to have taken the opinions of their Re-
presentatives, and to have given them their instrue-
dons. If such instructions had been given, he
pledged himself he would obey them, or else at once
give up his seat—( Cheers). After some allusions
to the interference of the Clergy in secular employ-
ments, and censuring these persons whose duty it was
to soothe, but who rather increased the angry -pas-
.sions of the people (as in the case of Manchester), the
*allant General said he should never wish to see that
a close Borough. He should not like to have the
Electors treated as these of Buckingham had been,
some time since, by Anthony Henley, their Repre.
sentative. That Gentleman having been written to
by his Constituents on the severity of the Eseise
Laws, wrote nearly as follows •
" Gentlemen--I am surprhed at your Impudence; you know
I bought you, and, by G—, lam determined to sell you. I
know what you do not think ; I know that you are about .to
sell yourselves to another ; and I also know what you do riot
know, that I mean to purchase another Borough, and so ybu
may all go to

I shall not, said. the gallant General, say—to the
devil ; but I must say—to the profnasiOnol friemal, of
the worthy Baronet !.-4Latsphissig). It had been erro-
neously stated, that he was opposed to Ministers on
aM occasions. He was so upon those occasions only
when he considered them wrong. He never did,
nor never would wear the livery of party, He knew
too well the value of independence. He could now,
and he trusted he should be always able to say with
the Poet
44 Thy spirit, Independence, let me share,
Lord of the liou heart and eagle eye ;
Thy form follow with my bosom bare,
Nor heed the storm that hoods along the sky r--(Cksvri).
The Hon. General, after having stated.that he en-
tertained those Whig principles which expelled .the
Catholic Stuarts from the Throne; those principles
which secured the freedom and privileges of,Engli:lb.
men as a matter of right, and not of favour; those
principles so ably expressed by the great Lord
Erskine, by which Reform, Trial by Jury, and the
Liberty of the Press were supported ; ooncluded by
thanking the Electors, and assuring them that, if
again returned to Parliament, he should support their
interests, and those of the country at large, with the
, same zeal and sincerity that had hitherto been aP,
proved of by his Constituents—(Loud cheers).
Sir TnoMAs Tvatorr said, that though low' on the
Poll that day, he did not despair ; there were yet
sufficient voters left to instuih his return, if they'voted
for him. He hoped the Reporters present would not
publish anything more than was said. A Morning
Paper of that day, in giving an account of his speech;
had accused him of having used indecent language.
This was not the fact. He was known too well to
be supposed capable of using any language unfit for
Englishmen to bear. The statement to which he
alluded was of such a nature, that if the Editor of
the Paper in which it appeared did not come forward
and disavow it, he should feel it his duty to make it
matter of ptiblic proserution—(Hear): The Hon.
Baronet proceeded to comment on the speeches of
the other Candidates, with considerable ingenuitir
and humour. He concluded by assuring them, that
should he not be more successful, he might probably
retire about the tenth day. But, at all events, he
should come forward again and again, if supported b`y
the Electors.—The Meeting dispersed at sir. o'clock.
