doctrine ; the reserved motive is seen in the Trifling Eef orm he proposes, 

 and in order more clearly to show the " revealed doctrine and reserved 

 motive " let me ask ; 



What has the Eeform in England to do with the people of this 

 country? What authority has the Freeholder for applying the terms 

 Whig and Tory, to the inhabitants of this settlement? Is it because 

 William Lyon Mackenzie wears an enormous red wig, that his partizans 

 should style those people Tories who do not follow that fiery beacon of

Where is the necessity of a Legislative Council at all if it is made

Is the Freeholder's idea of Colonel Talbot's children being of age 

 taken from the story of brother Jonathan throwing the Tea Kettle at 

 John Bull's head?

 have anything to do with the object of the meeting. The squib signed 

 A Freeholder has dwelt on these topicks — but be assured that they have 

 nothing whatever to do with the meeting. 



Men of Middlesex, on the 23rd two parties will present themselves. 

 The one will be composed of Loyal men — the other of Disaffected men, 

 of Republicans, of Revolutionists, and of Rebels. Let every man there- 

 fore ask himself this question. Shall I stand up on the same side wiUi 

 these Revolutionary Republicans — on the same side with these Rebels —
