different from that which was anticipated by the Free-traders, and from that which did prevail only a few years ago. Your efforts may not be so soon crowned with success as you hope; but depend upon it, let us stand hand to hand firmly together; let the landlord, the tenant, and the labourer--ay, and the country shopkeeper--ay, before long, the manufacturer himself, be called on to show and to prove what the effects of this experiment are--and, as sure as we stand together, temperately but firmly determined to assert our rights, so certainly--at the expense, it may be, of intense suffering, and perhaps of ruin to many--of ruin which, God knows, if I could avert, I would omit no effort for that purpose--but ultimately, certainly, and securely we shall attain our object, and recede from that insane policy which has been pursued during the last few years." We shall not attempt to describe the effect which that address produced upon those who were present--suffice it to say, that every individual there esteemed it a privilege to be allowed to labour in the same cause with the true-hearted, patriotic, and eloquent statesman who had that day so frankly ratified their unanimous choice of a leader, and in whose honour, integrity, and perseverance they reposed the fullest confidence that can be yielded by man to man. Of this our readers may be well assured, that the movement so auspiciously begun will not be allowed to flag; and that it will not be abandoned until the full measure of justice is conceded to all classes throughout the British empire who have been made the victims of a rash experiment, and of one-sided and unjustifiable legislation.
