Gtivt.ensw,
ir CONGRATULATE you on the event of this
1 day. Those who were Chelmsford must feel the vie-
tory which truth and ream bow pined over prejudice sad
olirupt isitnence. These who were not there, will,
fief various reases, wish to have been present; ha=
who *ere absent ought to be pitied, not blamed. Had they •
come to hear, they would not have hem able to ea. The
fear of Me loss of bread Is ton gond an excuse. The Liberty
of the Press has sometimes bees attacked, the power of
speeeh suppressed; bat there mast tat' sure than CllOllllOll
is-
&caw.. t. • ,b‘trort tbetspportanity of bearing. For num-
ber and respectability, for the abilities of several of the
speakers, amid for the aseteration and delicacy with which
the resolves are weeded, this Meeting will he long rememn
be red ; the cm will be important ; men will be
taa,est to thinkMasa act fur themselves, awl ont to be deluded
fit those who, though their superiors' in fortune, ate melt
their inferiors a Wave and taint. Let mu nit be mo-
dern mod to wish ti place persuus out of their sphere
of life, or break the link of 'whit, so necessary for
our common happier,. The respectable, though youth-
ful Chairman, whom I had time honour to present to
you, if he continues la that virtuous esercise of his abi-
lities and fortune, which at preseut seems the first object
of his heart, will acquire, and ought to acquire, a consider-
able &Air: of iallomme: bat I may be allowed to hope that
another young Gentleman who came forward in this busmen,
though not demised./ from so long a train of ancestors, or
pmvsesiing so princely a fortune, may be able to thew time
weight of his abilities and eloquence, when exerted io the
amuse mif virtue mad independence. The truly reitsbintional
and spiri:ed yeah of the Member for Norwich would have
been heard with the mate rapture and delight by his Coati-
*lents as by the Freeholders of Lases. I congratulate yen
en the able assistance which we derived from a Geodes= ref
c.,usiderable femmee in this comity. though link !WOW 0
to you. lie dared to mention the word Reform
hl
Parliament I and the Matisse Lind to adppt his sentiments;
had to be convinced that it was not another mine for Renoir-
ion, bat the means to preuent tit. Pa motion of this tendeoey,
perhaps, came s ith nis•re pmpriely front this Gentleman, than
from :tuy of n:, who know that for the last forty years there
hos been fts little represeutation in Woes, or in Malden, as in
OW Sarum, or any of the rotten Boroughs. We might truly
be void " First cast the beam out of •Nitie own eye.' Above
all, I coogritulaSe you, teatlemen, that it has been asrenoir-
ed that the right of asectim dots oat depend son the 'lobelia or
caprice of as insdoidami, wed that the Y mouton, of toe County
of Lies knew as well how to exercise their right as toamert
it. Untie r y difficulty I hove persevered to afford them
this opportunity. if ttel are satisfied, Inm soficiendy re-
I have the honour to be, Gentlemen,
Your most faithful humble Servant,
