upon tho subject Of the Right Of Sg1ruge,
IarotIon, aud the Basis Of Representations

OF the debate; first by the motion to lay his
resolution nn the table, aud then the mOii"n

taverns, split gibbets into ovenwuod, and o.
blise nobody to pay their debts. The crowd
was very great, and very good nntuved. The
philanthropist took his stand FIRST upon the
steps Of the City Hall, where he commenced
an eloquent address which the sovereigns
were quite too much delighted to hear, and
their shouts and cheers rang merrily. BY

the chair on which he was elevated, and,
borne along by the popular current he was
