TO THE EARL OF DARNLEY.

Ur LORD—You now, it may be presumed, must
perceive the beoefit of these meetings, in which the
elevated and the humble corns together*. equal terms ;
where--not the weight of purse, but ofargunseut,—not
the extent of acres, but of information sod talent,
give direction to the public mind; as they have dose
at the late County Meeting for Kent, on the subjects
of the debt, which is called National ; and on the spe-
cies of the presentation, *birth is indicated by the
term Universal Soli age.
It being the wisdom of legislation to keep pace
Itrith the knowledge of tie age, it-mill be worth your
Lordship's while to go to the bottom of these two
questions; and, instead of drawing cooclosiuns from
false remises, to ground you: future conduct on sound
pa pies.
FFiirst then, in respect of the debt, we are to enrolee,
in what systems of policy, the debt, which is called na-
tional, originated ; as well as on what authority it was
contracted. It is matter of undeniable historical
fact, that a/ending. System was utterly unknown prior
to the Revolution of 4311. It is equally well known,
that it was a scheme for answering tiro purposes ; one,
to enable our new Dutch King to wage a war that
gratified his propensities; the other, to create a sup-
port of his government, on a very different •fnunda.;
ties from that of personal attachment ; namely, by
engaging as many persons as possible in Isis support, bet
borrowing their money, for the interest of which they
should depend on the future tares : a crafty lied vil-
lainous policy, whereby it was contrived that, for the
benefit of political Jews, the rest of t;'- cutaluttoiq
should be metamorphosed into beasts of horde°.
Such was this deleterious exotic, which, as th•
fruit had a bitter taste, was at first, but sparing,
planted. Our etheration, Isowever, beholffd a har-
vest so siendent, that, withost the aid of Lnr.l Lire,.
