ANP RUBIN, D @ ux IN. ; 
fo any fet of men, It contains only conftitutional fundamentals, 
fuch as you might fubfcribe without any derogation from your 
honor. If the name offends, change it to ‘ inftrutions,’ and 
the offence is done away. Why fhould the majority be alarmed 
at fubfcribing to undeniable duties, who are daily offering to 
their Sovereign the moft mortifying covenants? This fquea- 
mifh nicety reminds me of the giant in Radelais, who daily fwal- 
lowed wind-mills for his breakfaft, and at laft was choaked with 
a lump of butter before the mouth of a warm oven. 
To conclude: there is not a with to change our reprefentative, 
provided he acts confonant to our principles; but none of us 
ought to give up principle for affection. I truft that your an- 
fwer will be clear and decided; fo that in fupporting you we 
fhall fupport the dictates of our own confciences. The great 
majority of your conftituents are firm friends to the legal prero- 
gative. They will re-elect you; yet how muft they blufh at 
their inconfiftency if you take an adverfe part! I have been 
your friend, and I fhall be forry to withdraw my intereft from you. 
Excufe me again ifI fay, with the fpirit of a freeman, this muft 
reft in yourfelf. If we differ in fentiments, there ought to be 
mutual forgivenefs, for it is impoffible to expect from either fide 
a criminal compliment. I have never yet deceived you; nor 
will I begin in this late period of life. If we are fo unhappy to 
difagree in opinion, I will not vote againft you: but cannot vote 
for you, 
I remain, dear Sir, 
Your affectionate humble fervant, 
A WELSH FRSEHOLDER.
