MR. SLEIGH, having recently returned from North
America, where he has resided nearly nine years, and
travelled upwards of 20,000 miles, will give, in FOUR
LECTURES, A GENERAL VIEW OP THE MAN-
NERS. MORALS, RELIGIOUS AND POLITICAL
STATISTICS, AND PRESENT CONDITION OF
THAT COUNTRY; with numerous recent and interesting
events, little known here, but an acquaintance with ‘xhich is,
to the British Public, at this particular time, of infinite im-
portance, all tending to prove the pernicious and ruinous
consequences of Republicanism, Universal Suffrage, and
Vote by Ballot. He will also detail the present lamentable
condition of rtliro AND A HALF mILLIoNS of Slaves; the
cruel persecution of 300,000 free Slaves! and the unjust
expatriation (now in actual progress) of thousands of CIVIL-
IZED INDIANS from their own cultivated fields; together with
the evils of not having an Established Church.
In these Lectures he will prove, that which be is ready to
defend at any time, and in any place, against the combined
talent of all the Radical Champions in England, namely :-
Ist, '['hat Republicanism necessarily leads to tyranny, and is
in direct opposition to the laws of nature, and of nature's
God.-2dly, That in proportion as the elective franchise is
increased among the poor, their liberty and happiness are
diminished.—And, 3dly, That Vote by Ballot is not only in-
capable of preventing persecution, but is demoralizing in its
very nature, and a disgrace to any civilized nation.
• Admission by Tickets, One Shilling each.
The Lectures will be delivered in the Music HALL.; Bold-
street, commencing on MoNDAv next, the 22d instant, and
to be continued on the successive 'TUESDAY, WEDNESDAY,
and TuUItSDAy EVENINGS. Doors opened at Six. Lecture
will commence at Seven o'clock precisely.
N.B.—These Lectures are not to be considered by any
means purely political; they will embrace much matter quite
as interesting to Ladies as to Gentlemen ; therefore, the Seats
on and near the Platform will be reserved for such Ladies as
attend early. Moreover, to prevent confusion on entering,
