ferred TO the want of bsrbors of refuge in Scotland
His LOroship then said it most satisfactory to ad
that this the irst call the nationality OF Scotland has
made, had met with such response, not only from
Scotland generally, but in this city He rejoiced
ut the demonstration, because it showed that
Scotland was in earnest and when had she failed

were the principles Of the association. First,
there nothing further from his thoughts than 70
weaken or to interfere with the cordial IMAGINATION
OF feeling ard interest established betwxt the two
nations (Cheers.) He WAS not wrong headed
enough to say that the Uni,n should be nterfered
with. nor fool enough to suppose that his efforts
could bring about such result. (Cheers.) If such
result was the object of the association, he would
not remain in 1t a moment. He would deprecats any
violent language which had been used, and he
would say to Englatd that nothing On his part
would teGd TO sow dissention betaixt the two coun
tries. (Cheers) But when he fejoiced in the
blessings of union, he not the less DESTROYS and
determined to stand up for the Tremendous
cheering)-snd privileges of Scotland, aud to claim
that equality from the hands Of her sister which Is
her right. 1t was by carrying out the principles of
the Treaty Of Union that they would make il more
popular. 1t was by fostering and not REFRESHING
the spirit Of nationality that you would make
aud loud cheers) You might make Scotchman
dscontented, but you could never make him an
Engshman. Cloud and long continued cheer
