forcible and eloquent style but he appeared lo me to labour under a depres sion of spirit mr casey was the next person who spoke the third resolution ws then pro posed and adopted in the same manner as the two former in the course of the day i enquired of several of the assembled freeholders whether as i re sided without the counties any interference on my pari might be considered officious or uncall ed for and was assured lhat it would not one of the persons whose opinion ithusaskcd was mr perry who liberally expressed his entire acquiescence that i siioutd address the meeting on the third resolution being proposed and a- dopted in the manner stated i got up on the platform where the chairman and a few of those who seemed to take most interest in the pioccedings stood and asked the people if it was their pleasure to hear tne that if it was not their pleasure to hear me they would be pleased to say so and i would respectfully retire i waa answered by a general cry of goon go on

commit my motion lo writing but as from tho crowded situation in which we stood this would have been inconvenient several persons called out that it would do as well lo out il verbally when 1 commenced my address 1 had no inten tion of moving any resolution but when 1 saw how favourably disposed the people appeared to he to the sentiments 1 expressed and the good humour with which they

a shew of hands demanded there appeared a far greater number of hands in its favor than were displayed on any of the precedinfl resolu tions it was then put in the negative and a shew of hands demanded when i am certainly exceeding rather than underrating the number when i slate them at lesa than a dozen cries of carried now aioso followed bv wa ving of hats and caps and loud and
