EXETER, .1 414.
The Owners and Occupiers of Lands assembled on
Friday last, at Congdon's Hotel. judiciously deter-
mined to request the Sheriff to convene. a Cooney
Meeting, instead of adopting resolutions. and present-
ing a petition, from a small number of the tuff of
this great and °see opulent County. The deceptions
practised on the farmers to persuade them that their
evils are the result of every cases but the right one,
cease to produce effect. The goad is their sides make
them open their eyes. They begin to see since they
beifoo to feel, and the presto-hi-cemolornsi tricks of
'pelltical jugglers no longer soothe their sufferings tir
tabs their naiads. The public espenditiere mast be
seduced as pearly as possible to the etasdiard of 1799;
the interest of the mations, debt must be greatly diva-
%Oohed sad the lazes which press most heavily oe
the productive classes mast be withdrawn. Prices of
Ogrimiltural produce are still high. compared with
prises in past timer of Pease, and are only relatively
low is comparison with the prices obtained diarist*,
war. The excess of our expenditure of the Go-
veinment, above its amount in 1792, amounts to more
Chat 19,000,000; whereas the wanks expeoce
of governing I. America costs about jolt as many
DOLLARS ! Young as is the New World in her progress
towards civilisation. yet alAsady it begins to put the
old countries to the blush, in matters which respect
the happisese of mankind. Economy generally pre-
vails in her affairs; whilst the more profuse and pro-
fligate are the governors of the Old World, the more
they seem to fancy that they are madded to esteem. As
the value of the articles of commerce and agriculture
will *tweed to peace-prices. is spit* of all impolitic
attempts to raise them. Ministers most be contented to
do the work of Oovermsest at a peace-price, or the
People will soon be compelled, by necessity, to find
Mier managers .for the political machine. No Eng-
lishman, proud of his Constitution. would wish to de-
prive the Crown of it, due splendour ; but every Eng-
lishman; who would preserve the Throne. would en-
d bees the career of retresehment within
the pekoe, and there curtail all extravagant grants and
wanton allowaseses 'lf tea millions a year were taken
from the expeoces of g ing, which might be done
with perfect safety. still we should pay sine millions
move than we did 111 1792; and if the nation will allow
such useless drains of its treasure to be made, it merits
contempt. The mighty mountain of taxation is raised
in msseity. and spina in profesiolt. to support the
prisdplea of our Ministers. which are openly at war
with she irweesiodge sad bappisess of mankind. Even
imek.nemisetkommill.osly mad to preserve tranquil-
lity for a period. long anises to -OA the Legieistare
time to eradicate the evils which we suffer from the
effects of political folly. Pride and privilege have
conteaded spinal the progress of reason, and by thei
projects have heaped misery open misery en us.' We
mast come at last to this complexion:—Composition
with the public creditor and annibilatios of the nation-
al debt or Revolution! If the creditor will hasten on
this event by his obstinacy—if lie will not yield,
then the prophecy of the philosopher will be accom-
plished, and an busdred pounds in the funds will not
be worth a Class orange. Fools exclaim, tbe Radi-
cals threat's to destroy our Constitution ; wise men
know that the Tories have undermined it. It still may
be repaired; and those who venerate the wisdom of
their ancestors. would begin to strong hen its bulwarks
sad re-ornament its sanctuary.—(Alfred)
