addresses to the Queen. He biped that he was toe
well known to be supposed capabk of intentionally
passing over any Jfart of the address.--(Heat, hear,
and cries of " question, question.")
Mr. Sru eRT begged leave, before the vote was pat,
to remind the Chairman, that it was his duty so put
the question--Amendment or not ? An address had
been moved from the chair, and an auseadment pro-
posed by Mr. Maxwell. It was in such etreunestauces
the regular and invariable practice of 'all welt regu-
lated assemblies, to put the question, in the first place,
on the amendment; because, if it should be nega-
tived, it was inspoosilele to foresee, whether such al-
terations, in expression or in statement, might not be
made on the original address, that it might be then •
unanimously approved. The speakers on the other
side had professed great desire Tor unanimity, and it
dill not appear to him even yet to be impossible to
attain it, if the gentlemen were sincere in their pro-
Notions.
Mr. INPRI, the Preset. remarked, that Mr. Maxwell
had not moved an amendment, but a counter address.
Mr. Maxwell said, that it was an amended address; :
and Mr. Stuart appealed to the meeting, tel it I
was not really and truly an amendment, sabatituting •
as is usnal,.the words in Mr. Maxwell's address, a(trr.
" That" in the original address, for' those gontaiard •
in it.
The PREPt% having decided that the vote should be
address or counter address.
Mr. STltaar said, that he felt himself bound, in.
consequence of the derision now given, to state the
alteration on the original *shiress which he bad in-
tended to propose, in ease the amendment hail been
put from the chair in the regular way, and negatived..
He bad intended, with a view to bring to an unerriug
test the professions made by so many gestlenern to-
day, but most of all by the learned Judge, that the
business of this meeting was not political, and bore no
referetics- to the continuation in office of.,this or that
administration, to propose that the paragraph last but
one in the original address should contain a declara-
tion, that "re do not mean le conrey topour.llojraty
any r.rpreusion rf. approbation or diaapprohation of
the conduct 1!1' your Majesty's .11inixte. 8.” lie could
not conceive how any gentleman could object to this
motion, who did not admit that such meeting% as the
present were called with a view to support the calming
administration, and theme especially whet expressed
anxiety fur unanimity, as the gentlemen on the other
side Ind again and again done.
Mr. W. Fct-ros !mid, that they did not desire una-
nimity ; and Lord Sea I writ declared that he could
vote conscientiously for the original ad-tress, but not
for Mr. Stuart's addi ion to it.
Professor JF.VIILIIy asked whether Mr. Stuart's
amendment would produce unanimity.
Mr. MAXUEt.t. ruse and said, that though naturally
fund of the amended address, which was a child of his
own, he was rea ly to make any sacrifive which lee
could do with propriety, in order to-tranquillize the
meeting, and promote unnuimity. Ile would there ore, Yesterlav, pursuant to a requisition numerously
