Of thatpromiie held out by fhs leaders OF
this atrocious conipiracy, OF ample prou-

hould fall il the arnggle." The more
efettually to enfure fuccefa 10 thoie d'a-
bolicsl Vaccinations, and TO encourage
tilefe who were 10 be feducei TO thsir iuF-
port, endeavours have been made by you
ard your sccon,plices, to feduce from their
allegiance 10 their lovereisn. the folders
Of his majeify; ncafures which, though
they appear to have been, IN too maoy
inifances, fnccelsful, YET | hope faliely
faid 70 be in that extent which has been
fated in evidence.
Equally falf-. / hope, has been another
aG-r,ion, that two thirds of the inllabi-
tants Of this country were ready for
change, aud prepared TO fnpport and a.
dept fuch r,eaturcs as were likely to be
mof eaeaual for obtaining it; a change,
by which no leis was contemplated, than
the fubverGon of all The fcurees of law,
order and public juficc, and the fubfitu

dire effects. Il has, howevea. p!es!ed
that divine Providence, which has mer-
cifully watched over The fafefy OF Ike na-
ton, to defeat your wicked and sboml-
nable purpofe by'srreeing your projeds.in
their dark and dangerous progrefs, and
thns aver;ing that danger which your
Vaccinations had fpfpended over vour
heads and by your timely deitaions
feiznre and fubnittai TO public jufice. TO
afford time for The many thcpfands of bis
majcify's innocer, ard loyal fubjeas,
The intended victims Of your attrocious
ard fanguinsry purpole, to efcape thar
danger which 70 recently mcnaced them
| and which truf, has not yet become
100 formidable for utter defear.
! Happily for the families, and the per-
fcns Of ,houfands Of your wicked and de-
luded accomplices, your deteftlon has in
time | hope, ierved TO avert the calami-
ties in which they would have inevitably
involved thenleives, as we'll as their in
nocert fellow citizens. The vigilance
Of that government, unceafpgly directed
10 he public fecurlty, was not TO be elrd.
| ed by lie dark and my ferious forgery un
| der which you endeavored to msik your
wicked defgns; your very endeavors to
propagate ADD promote ycur projects have
been the fourcss your defeat; and thus
il has happened, that when you imagined
your vile puTpofes to be neaTef their CON-
plstion, they have been fortunately die
covered by the very means through which
you intended to put them in execution;
and thus the intended victims who were
on the eve Of being involved in all the
horrors of your Irojeds, have frefh caufe
10 acknowledge with gratitude the good
nefs Of that all provideot God, who has
thus timely, and | hops for eser, put
flop to your diabcIical plans.
As TO you, de'pded victims Of def
pera'e and abandonded conf piracy, before
I conclude the awful talk which remains
for me TO 9perform, l win to fay few
words to you on the ,enormify of thofe
crimes which have brought you 10 your
preient melancholy ard ignoAinious htu-
ation. And frf, you Edward Marcus
Dslpard, in whom the dignided pride OF
birth, the advantages of liberal euucati-
on, & the habits of intercouIfe 10 that rank
in which your conduit was once 70 highly
honorable, and from whom the teitinony
borne OF your former conduit, by the ho-
norable companions of your early purfuits,
adduced in this court switnei1es for your
character, fhould have induced US to ex-
pett widely Different conduct and princi-
pies. How grossly have you mifapplied
and abufed the talents and opportunities
which you enjoyed for honorable
diitinaion in fociety; and how have you
