Lord Percy entered the room about one
O'Clock he was conducted towards the chair
by Mr.. Whitbread ard MIR. Adam. Mr.. Byug
took the chair.
Mr.. Whithread rofe to propore Lord Percy.
He prefaced his ipeech with juft eulogium on
Mr.. Fox, &c AS the landmark and fafeguard of
the contribution, and the bulwark of the world"
1t would be idle, added he, to talk of fuccef-
Tor to that Great Man, whole feat in council
and IN the tenate will ever be vacant. He then
dwelt on the hereditary virtues of the Houfe of
Percy, and the fair profpe6ts from the educate
on OF the noble Lord he was about to propofe
and with theie examples in his view, that he
would tread in the Aeps which his ance1ors and
Mr.. Fox had trodden before him. To ipeak
of that young nobleman, at prefent, as calcu-
lated to NIL the vacant feat for Weitmniter
would be impo(ible-it was the commence
ment of his public life, and it was fair to draw
favourable augury of Lord Percy. They
knew him to be independent, and above temp
tations to betray the rights and liberties of his
country, which his noble family had ever fup-
ported. His father had ever been patriot,
and the friend of that great man whole lofts was
10 deeply lamented. His fon had before his
eyes the example of Mr.. Fox, whole conduct
was model for him, as his fuccenor.-Lord
Percy would do jufice to the electors, by tread
ing IN tue paths or noneIty, umpncity and truth
MIR. Whitbread then read four rcIolutions the
iirit was to exprefs the deep regret which the
| meeting felt for the death of Mr.. Fox, and the
othersto declare their intention to iupport
Lord Percy at the approaching election. After
which he propofed Lord Percy, a propofal
which was received with reiterated marks of ap-
! probation.
| MIR. Elliott feconded the mo.ion-he was not
in the habits of agreeing with Mr.. Fox on many
! points, but he fill revered his character, and
lamented his death as much as any man could.
He was convinced that Lord Percy would be
found to aStup to thofe principles which had
ditinguifhed his family in the caufe of liberty.
Lord Percy returned his thanks to the Meet
ing, and pledged himief TO aet upon thofe prin-
cipIes that had rendered the memory of MIR. Fox
70 dear to them.
The refolutions were then feverally put and
agreed to without one dilientent voice.
