 Iicld at Uie Plon;;li tavern, Giltspur-sireet,

 advi.>riisenieiit, " to consider of a proper 

 person to succeed Captain Morris, as tlie 

 represT'ntative ia parliament of the said 

 tity," — It wasinianitnoiisly resolved, "that, 

 as i!ip national distress in vvliicli we are now 

 plunseil, is, in a ;;reat decree, tlie result of 

 a corrupt i>y>teni of ailniinistiution, arisins; 

 from our being deprived of tliat grand 

 national ri«ht, a fiee, full, and frequent 

 representation of the people in the Coni- 

 inons House of Parliauieut, the restoration 

 of that rifjlit will be the only radical and 

 eti'ectnal remedy for our nunitrons and 

 heavy national grievances. — That it is our 

 settled and unalterable determination nqtto 

 ■vote for or support any person at llie en- 

 Miin;; eleclion, who will not solennily 

 pledge himself to promote, by every con- 

 stitutional means in his power, tlie grand

 our brother freemen to vote (oi such per- 

 son only, whose independent and declared 

 principles shall coincide with the senti- 

 tncnts expressed in these resolutions."^

tile imitatioi! of all England at this crisis.

 sands, who never heard the name of their 

 benefactor, often partook of his bounty. 

 Such, however, was his singular modesty* 

 such his truly Christian mcKkness, that no 

 exact estimate can be made of the sums he 

 employed in this way. It is believed, that

 ed that sum ; indeed in one year he ex-
