Sir F. &Mont. in rising to propose the health of
their late gallant Heprmentatlve, would erpress an
ardent wish that he might soon return amongst them,
to the cenfesion of his enemies, sod the triumph of
the close of Liberty ; he would Rite

J. C. fleblmine, EA. and the 5161 &erten, vie sopported
lan at the laic Elective.

The person who repeated the toast to the tem-
peoy, by a slip of the memory, went no further thaw
three, is describing the number ; amidst the prologg.
ed acclsmatioes which followed this toast,
Mr. lloanouse rote.—Althoogh the Elector who
proposed the toast to them lied forgot the number of
Electors, he never should. He felt It particularly
grateful to be thee mingled with the record of West..
Wester's triumph ; it was, If possible, t more en-
during compliment than those puedel and fries&
ly services be had received whew courected with them
I. the late contest, while he wits seeking to acquire
that honourable situation which be trusted be should
not have disgraced. Such friendship amid not bit
aelmate him to do his utmost le the important strop
gle which engaged them.—(Applause.)—He bed
a felt any othet amibillon than the desire of
meriting and acquiring the respect of his
countrymen. We had borrowed a maxim frem
abroad, which we ought to hive had without going
so far for it, that " The King is the fnentain
of honour."—lt was not unlikely ; particularly
if It alluded to that kind of honour which, like
the impartial rays of the sun, shone equally
upon the jest sod the unjust; that honour which
distributed the rihands and toys which repay
the toils of courtly servitude. Such honest, how.
ever, might be toe warm for our manliness and moral
interests; it was not en honour fit for the emulation
of a frre-born Englishman, sod miry Englishman
was bore free; the honour of a just ambition must
be founded otherwise, that is, in the nd ap-
probation of the People.—(Applause.)—This was
the honour which inspired oar ancestors, which made
them brave shame and sorrow, and go to death with
es
much alacrity as to the celebration of a triumph.
Nor could any thing ever be achieved for the public
good, and especially in our forlorn crisis, incept by
a body of men who will be coolant to earn and re-
ceive the approbation of the People.—(4ppiewm.)--;•
Now, every puny .hipster, who has conned over his
lesson in politics ; every stripling, who devotes his
time to soliciting the smile of some Lady of conse-
quence, or to seeking the notice of a powerful No-
blemen, makes a toed brag of not stooping to notice
the People; no new-fledged politician ever got up to
lisp his first speech in Parliament without commencing
by a valorous boast of contempt for the People. It
tees bet the other day that the Leader of the Opp.-
titian found it nec e y to observe, that though the
People were to be conciliated, they ought never to
be submitted to. So desperate indeed had this matins
grown, that the power of judgment sees entirely
denied them ; their case put him in mind of
the men whose tooth a surgeon was attract.
ing. " Zoonde," says the operator, " why do
yno cry so load?"—" Why," replied the patient,
" Decease I am in so much pein." " Pain," says
the surgeon, " a'n't I a professional man, end must
not I know best whether I give pain or not ?" Thee
the Government people required us, like the man
with hit pig (the mention of the swinish multitude
by Sir F. Burdett reminded him of it), not to squeak
until we were bid by those who were to profit by our
squeaking, howsoever s ly we might be pinched.
—( Lard laughter and applause.)—What was meant
by their cant phrase of popular clamour but this ?
Clamour wee the act of crying out on any great and
oneepected suffering. Was it so very unwire, for
them to complaia when they were grieved? They
were not left to decide for themselves; the Mi-
nistry or the Opposition alvreys insisted upon jud..
ing for them where the shoe pinched.-(Laughter
and spidnute.)—Notwithstanding this, the Leader of
the opitositiou acknowledged, very lately, that Ad-
ministration, to be sufficiently strong, ought to be hot.

that prertieed Leader, that experienced and all-ac.

man in it is he who has committed the fewest Islanders;
sled that in giving potter to such a body, we imitated
the decors:no of "lerhey, where they always give the

reminded of another tittle historical illustration :
Peter the Great used to threothen his sh►es that

them of the last mark which could remind them
of their past condition, and threatened also to

They ! who lived in a world of entire delasloo,

grandeur of their system. The visions of the People

while theirs is *sly a dream of 'tigrish, which has
the sleep of death and infamy for Its termination.—
(Load applause.)—lt became such visionaries to be
mere sautioas, to refrain from calling the erasures
of the People wild and visionary. They, the Pee•
ple, were the only power not yet tried; until thole

got to provers a motion, he was instantly alleged

Begging pardon of the Ladies (there were ■ few iw
the gallery), corruption was the oldest strumpet in
Christendom ; it might be sold to be in the condition
of Petronius's heroine, who had been debauched se
long she could not remember whew she was a maid.
—(Lund larghter.)--Y et such was the audacious
orrogsrico of this venerable harlot, that she would
not safer a soul to breathe a hint of her impurity.—
There were meter.' prudes la the house (he could not
help mentioning Mr. Wynn), who, kr spite of hoc
flagitioes lewdness, would have then, !rest her as
being of untainted chastity, who world not hear a
single remark in disparagement of her parity, though
the contrary was as well known as if the Society for
the Suppression of Vice had bong up a lantern at
the door.—( Much laughter.)—This was like thecae-
Ding of the ostrich, who thrusts his head into the
sand and losses her tail wholly exposed, insomuch
that, to borrow a platens from Berke, they had be.
come quite fatiriliar with the shameful parts of the
Coostitatioo.—("Epplause.)—The more the enemies
of Reform united in the Parliament, the more should
Its friends snits oat of it. He was afraid that in
this respect corruption had the advantage.

" Devil with devil dasuid, hire troweeed lt,tlth."
He fee red the ReforMers were too mach like !•:te
rope of sand which had been mentioned. This should
not be ; they were not like their enemies, licked la
measures of destrectioe; they had no spoils to goateed
over; no quarrel took place amongst thorn as to why
should have the skin, sc., who limbs. fn spite of the
Mtegsarrela he hoped fartherassimesities would be laid
aside. He was grieved at having bee° the innocast
cense of distension among them ; hot he appealed to
them if the biome could be laid to him, if he could
be charged with giving the cause, though he had the
Misfortune to be amongst the gasses. On the day of

the name of Cartwright. One Gentleman, it was
tree, bad got up and recommended him to rake the,
wreath with which he had imagined his (Mr. IL's)
head was decorated, and place it on the brow of
Major Cartwright. He felt conscious it would
have been the height of presumption in him to have
supposed that he could transfer the voles of West.

that he knew the Major had no elts nee, from a moat
