to the county at large, to state the reasons tvlircli

giving no opinion as to its expediency "or disad-

been, to"assist in forwarding the object of the
late county meeting,,I'cannot, on an occasion so
‘public, avoid, in a manner as public,‘declaring,my
reasons for the line of conduct I mean, afterdue. -
dc-liberntior.i,. to adopt. Those geiitlenten 'ofcv't2*.e

piness of being acquainted, will, I trust, ‘do me
the justice to admit, that I amiiot a person like’-
ly to be unwilling; when satisfied. that the occa-
sion is a’pi‘oper one, to assist in. any way in my
power,in maintaining the public peace,and in,sup-
porting the credit and security of the county,
which must always mainly rest on the faithful
:ife'x_cution of the laws, and the preservation and
t t “of our happy constitution. To form
' °_al judgment of the question now be-
, have examined recent events and oc-
ti es with all the accuracy in my power, and
‘s’. eg leave to revert to certain local ‘events
coniiccted with these occurrences. The Grand
Jury of the county, at the late Assizes, seeing
tracts circulated, ‘of a nature to undermine our
religious faith, and injure our form of govern-
ment, naturally expressed their indignant feelings
on the occasion ; it appears, however, from the
result of a late trial, that these attacks on our re-
ligion" are not likely to be countenanced by a
British Jury, any more, I trust, than by a British
peuple. And I am also ofopinion, that our‘ha'p-"
py form of government is as little in danger from
the wild and frequently pernicious doc‘trinesmain-
tained and disseminated on the subject ofour‘
constitution. The nation is too much enlighten-
ed to be’ misled bysuch dangerous theories.--'

but to dispute; and may endeavor to correct
what they considera defect in our system, by
lawful means; but lhal’t_lia_t object, in jitselflegit-
imate when ‘pursued constitutionally, ought’ ever
to be obtained by force, I deny as peremptorily
as I would peremptorily aiid_ steadily resist it~.'~‘..‘.

er at an earlier period than usual; and, as we are

propose laws still stronger than those that ‘exist
for that purpose ; and this to be attc'i_np’t'ed before.
any inquiry shall‘ take” place into the late distress-
ing transactions at Manchester. ' ‘Why the laws
are to be strengthened, or the armed force of the
country to be generally increased, [am at a loss
at present to discover ; for, w‘lieth’er the late
transactions at Manchester were legal or not,
there seemed little difiiculty in enforcing a sum-
mary process, and protecting, if endangered, the
persons and property of the inhabitants. ' Before,
‘then, recourse be had to extraordinary legislation,
and extraordinary arming, it may be advisable to
inqui_re whether the conduct of the Magistracy
has not been calculated rather to produce than
restrain unlawful combinations on the part of the
people. Some -of the Magistracy I have the
pleasure of knowing, and more honourable and
upright persons cannot exist. I would at alltimes
rely on theirintegrity; and few things would
grieve me more, ‘than that they should suffer in
their reputation, or inany other way, from‘ the
unfortunate events that have recenll y occurred at
Manchester. But to stifle or delay inquiry would
only injure them. whilea full and fair‘ investiga-
tion would doubtless be what they would most de-
sire. For myself, I have little. doubt but thattlie
‘meeting at Manchester, (if the 16th-of August,
would have terminated as peaceably" as those in.

ate and ul't_i‘mate object of the ‘persons calling
such meetings may be, I pretend " not to-deter-
mine; but that, at all events, is a subject of sep-
arate _cousideration. The whole affair, then,
should be submitted. without reserve, to the in-
vestigation of impartial committees in Parlia-
ment, which will alone give satisfaction to the
country—-will alone save Parliament from the re-
imperfectly the public voice. It is, I am ‘aware.
maintained by some, that it would be best to wait
the decision of the tribunals of justice : Ibut, un-
der the discouragements that have ii-ecemly oc-
curred, one would find a difficulty in recomend-
ing perseverence in such a course, particularly af-
ter the result of .the inquest at Oldham-—an in-
quest held for the purpose of inquiring into at
charge Of Wllful lfiurdfiri and which should have
been brought to a termination as speedily as a due‘
examination «of witnesses would allow. It is’
said, in justification of the extraordinary and alar.
ming adjournment ofthe inquest to a week after
the meeting of Parliament, and the consequent
postponement of the verdict. that it was done at
the desire of the Jury. This, however, it is also
said, they disclaim 5 but even had‘ they express-
ed sucha wish, the cause of it should have been
-made known, in a niaurierthe most distinct and
'‘-lm‘yr 00 the testimony of medical men, then as
little delay as possible should have been allowed
ed to interrupt the progress of the inquest. lf
offences have been committed, let the offenders
be punished : at all events, let us give satisfaction
to an anxious and inquiring nation. Before, then,
we stir a step towards rigorous legislation, or me.
nacing armament, it behaves us to inquire wheth-
.er our constitutional laws may not have suffered‘
something from.t.!iose who have the guardianship
of them in their own hands ; and whether, if that
be the case, such violation ofits sacred bulwai-ks
may not, in reality, create, if it has not-already
created, a disposition to retaliate, where no inten-
tions of resistance before existed. If, however,
contrary to my expectations, there should, indeed,
appear a determination, openly and distinctly ac.
ted upon, to overturn the-constitution ofthe coun-
try, I shall be ready to exert every means in my
power to meet and resist such spirit of hostility,
against wh_at_I conceive, in common, doubtless,
. with the great body of the nation, to be the most
perfect for-mof government with which any coun-
try was ever blessed. _

was found to be near ll o'clock. They succeed-

observed he was mort_ally wounded, one ofthem
said ‘ it was time for him to die, as he had lived
longer than he had.’ Vvhile in the cellar, the
widow requested them tobring some spirits for
Jacob, which they promised to do, but were heard
to say that if hedrank spirits it would ‘cause him '
"to bleed more, and therefore hasten his death.

Eastern money ; one for bat, and from the others

1000 dollars. I
The robbers conducted as if they had been ac-
quainted with the house, and one was heard to
call Mr. David Gould by name. Owing to the
confusion in which the family were thrown, they
were not able to give any description ofthe mur-

A reward of five hundred dollars is offered for

will speedily be brought to justice.
