Lon of the Eutaw:ha are surprisingly skilled lo
ibis artificial assetomy—but then they are ignorant
of the MIND Of MON. A lecture will ere len; be
read to thee on this divine *abject. Some now
Paosstsuxus will by sore le arise, and re-animate the
lifeless emu. Let the enemies of the rights and pri-
vileges of a generous and indignant People take care
and keep at a distance from one of the limbs of the
newly vivified Ream" when he is pet in motion:
Bet why say we privileges of the People ? We beg
the People's pardon—they have RlGHTS—they have
I Pewees, bet they confer Privileges. They are the
sovereign disposers and &leviers of authority; and
washout those who abase that authority. This is lan-
pogo we will not only twain England, bet we would
employ it, if necessary, at Alz-la-Chapelle, if the
Emperors and Kings were there again assembled.
Re not dismayed, therefore, my fellow-patriots; if
'kiwis possible that our ads Its could gain this
tie& victory at Westminster, which however revery
enlikely, we may fairly promise you that they will not
long enjoy the triumph. The real Max of the Pro.
rte, who■ we hive ■ow before us, appears too
i graceful, too allering, too solidly beneficial to the
I grand work we have in baud not to b• made the pro-
f totype of thousands. Remember that he is new exactly
what he was twenty-three years ago. Ile had the
courage then to take his pest where few dared to
stand by him. Now others are ready to join him.—
The numerous body, composed of the timid, the he-
sitatiitg, the watchful, the wavering, cum malls lige,
must move up Jo him, for he will eel give way for
1 their sakes. We will promise bins Immortality of
I fame, if he comities, honest to the end of his life.
And why should he not ? What can all the earth
offer him in temptation to swerve from that strait
forward course he has takes ? Wealth and title he
I has already. These were at first to as teats of his
'Weevily. It is ambition, then, which urges Meson
through pod report and ill report. No doebt.Vhat
great soul would not be ambitious to be styled
the first Patriot of his ago. His esperiesce and his
understanding have taught him how it has Iseppened
that many a distinguished person has lost a helf-esto-
Milked reputation : Sir FRANFIS Bounties will be
in his own keeping, sod be knows its value too much
to put It on a hazard. Mr. Hosuouses recent
I speeches have operated wonders in his behalf.

sion of the Roberts Corpus Act,, one cannot but

men wisdom has eve► devised against oppression.
It Is astonishing that so little has been done i■ fa-
vour of the liberty of the subject during the lut half

termed it) into the Constitetion by an addition to
t►e Cunt! Members. Nothing was done, although

be diminished.

coulter had been declared, but several ducklings bad

hitherto respectable concerns.

conspiring with Mr. Mercerunt a late Magistrate, to
