He had a paper in his posses.ion which he con-
sidered of great importance to the ince.tization of
the ease. It was the only one that had been pre.
served in the hand-writing of Franklin. Having found
that he was prosecuted for (Win. Cos. by Admiral
Goodall, he (11r. Hume) had succeeded in procuring
one of his letters to the Ludy, and on a comparison
of the hand-writing with that of the pl ward, by two
persons of skill and ingenuity in such matters, the
hand-writing in both was pronounced to be the same.
Another address was dated the 7th of Sept. lel IK, and
was of a nature peculiarly malignant. The object of
such publications generally, was to excite the lower
and middling classes against the higher o but this was
an appeal to the lower classes only against the mid-
dling and the higher.

There was a small chasm which be expected shortly
to fill up; he alluded to the origin of the Oloncester
Address, for the purpose of completing the connection
of the proceedings from the middle of Is l.!1, down to
the present time. Having stated what he hail of the
conduct of the Home Department, he could not sepa-
rate it from a cliartre of connivance at the escape of
Franklin. lie understood, that on the Wednesday fol-
lowing a passport was granted to a person employed
to fillow him; until he was brought hark the case
could not be so well made out. Hut enough had been
stated already to show, that a Committee should be
appointed who should examine witnesses upon oath,
and who monk! not be bound by those technical rules,
which, in other places, had kept out important evi-
dence. The prosecution of such an inquiry was ne-
ressary to the peace of the country. What was the
object of Government?--to protect that peace, to de-
fend the interests of the many against the violence of
a few ? When it abandoned that duty. and relaxed
the efforts which were required to perform it, the Mi-
nisters who did so, proved themselves, by such omis-
sion, unworthy of the situations which they held. His
