men, it is quite necessary for me to observe upon the
baseness of the conduct of these persons towards you.
They call your Aleeting a farce. They say you agreed
to a Petition calling for nothing more nor less than a
total suspension ofpuyments: they say that you call for
a declaration by law, of a general bankruptcy ; they

the •lowest pitch of degradation. This, Gentle-
men, is the treatment that you receive from
persons whom you pay to fornlitt you with true
information. These persons are your own creatures.—
These persons would not hay. the means of abusing you,
and of assisting to complete your ruin, if you did not
give them money out of your pockets to carry on their
paper and to lire upon. How is it possible, Gentlemen;
that I can have power over you, to make you do any
thing contrary to your own judgments. I has:s no in,'
finance other than that of my pen ; and you have surely
your eyes to read with and your minds to; udge with.—
What these people say of me is of very little eonse-
lnence ; but it is of great consequence that they should

my rat towards putting a stop to this, which, if per-
mitted to go on would be a real disgrace to the county.

this calumniating Mercury) before the Parliament meets.
