COUNTY MEETING.

We had not the opporteally of making a tingle re-
mark upon the Mit'diem Mewing et Heaney,
yesterday. The number of persons assembled cer-
tainly bore no proportion to the importance of the
occasion. A call to the same place upon the busi-
ness of lone WlLeas's outlawry (though the life
and death of Hist man has been of little censer' eeeee
to the nation), wee mere fully answered; and yet
that being, like Bunke, turned renegade at last ;
rotting on his bag-wig, sword, aad laced red waist-
coat, to attend the Levees at St. James's, although
Court corruption sprang up ender his feel with ra-
pid growth at that time. We shall hope to live!. see
some patriots die as sub ;and were It not for °feeding
against an ancient maaim, " de aortae ail nisi tor•
man," we should declare, berme all the world, that
his tomb-stone told a falsehood, for it says, " here
lies mons Wit.eu, Eq. who lived and died e
Patrice" We hope tb. true breed of patriots is not
like the race of tree lottli.dogs, smelly eati,.ct. Bel

Tire danger has never been half so guest dude,

their authors, or printers, have been tried ? Why,
then, oar very comment on such dreadful and din.

Lew Officers el the Crown, and with a few

The verdict, then, against Mr. CARLILC is, it
stems, to be the pony-bell for every pahlicatioe
which freely discesses the actions of Ministers,
and the destructive tendency of misrule. What,
are the Constituted Authorities of the realm in

hang together till the ordinary processes of the law
have taken place, in traamieing whether what is said
of them or their Government be libellous, or other-
