July 28 12 8 * * BUtn*. iJeeds of Convey. aor. n-aty j»rm » i *»u vellum paper, fut »ai« at this Ltkcr. From the Dublin Evening Post. Address of Mr. Phillips To the Electors of the County of Sligo, on d clining the polls. Be assured, gentlemen, it ia with feelings rather of gratitude than of disappointment, that I withdraw my self from the contest, upon the present occasion. I find that we cannot have d fair probability of success, and with every personal respect for your late members, and with the most heartfelt j affection for you, I do not feel myself j warranted in putting them to the ex j pense, or you to the inconvenience, , necessarily consequent on a contested election. The stale of your registry, which I have but just received, hes compelled me to this determination. It is an astonishing and disgraceful fact, thatsuch isthe political apathy ofyottr country, that one-twenlieth of its free holders are not registered. The only privilege which the people are left, is the elective franchise, and even this, it seems, they have not the spirit to ex ercise. After, this what right has Ire land to complain, if, either on the window tax question, or any other i ; question, her representatives will not | j give themselves even the trouble of crossing the channel ? if you are \ ! contented to submit to this d.grada : tion, it is not for me lo murmur, capa -1 bin as 1 ain, by my on n conduct, of i redeeming myself individually. As i hear,however, that some ofyournews- i room wiseacres have taken offence at au expression in inv address, aud as every man who puts himself poliiieal ly forward, should be able to give a reason for ‘‘the faith that is in him,'’ you shall have miue freely unit fear lessly. T lie deciai atimi w .s, that if : the hext parliament be like the last, j we may write the epitaph of the Brit- j ish government? i iepeat it now, and i further add. that it is quite impossible : | things can go on, unless there be some change, either iu the members we re- ' turn tu that house, or in the coueii u- •! I tion of that house itself Are you a- I j ware, Unit of what is culled the uou-e j I of commons, eighty-two peers nomi nate 300, uatl 123 commoners uomi- 1 I nale 177 ; and thus you nave, out of i 038 members, 487 actu. ily nominated by 203 constituents, and this they call I the representation of Hie people ! If this coutiiiues, is there any use in elee i tions—is there any use in petitioning, ' j where lured niaj 'Titles can sidle the one, and a bmough-mongeriiig inllu ' cnee can defeat the other ? Does any in..n propose ar< formation of the sys tem ? lie is immediately denounced us a visionary, or worse. So it was in J’liigland, with Fox and Sheridan, aud the consequence was, she lost A rttem-a. So it was amongst yourselves, , with Grattan and with Flood, and the consequence was, those who bought you, sold you. We were bartered in to a province, aud but the other day, . 1 in the inipt rml parliament, upou a vi tal que.lu u, seventy -five of your metu -1 bt rs left you at the uiercy nf a puppet majority, who not ouly nvetted your chain, but lebukedyou for elaukiug 1 it ! This is the way in whi- h t wish to meet the questiou nut by tinpiy ■ declamation, hut by stubborn facts - | facts which are now recurded to our ; shame, on the adamant of history.— i i Look to the conduct of the very last parliament, iu almost every instance the echo of the minister, and the justi fication ot the malcontent— conduct which, 1 will demonstrate, has done more tu disgrace us abroad, and to en -1 stave us at home, than mere unequivo cal, unblushing despotism ever could . have effected. Look to that conduct. . After a protracted war, unparalleled - in its duiatiou, aud unprovoked mils t origin, dining which, mouey enough ! was spent to purchase, aud blond e- I nuugh stu dto lusulate, the continent— I during winch we alternately fought, aud subsidized every faithless despot I —now libelling the worthless—now laudiug the magnanimous Alexander | —to day, iu the field with the teni- ! j porixiug Austria—to-morrow, bribing the convenient Prussia—now smil-i J ing upou Poland’s plunder—now esta- I blishmg tbe Spanish inquisition—now i at Amiens acknowledging the French I consul—now at Waterloo, cheering j the b'ood-ery of legitimacy. After i . this base abandonment of public prin- . 1 tuple—this barbarous gambling with tne nation's happiness—we found uur selves at last, consistent in nothing but our iueousisteiicies, seated in the legitimate congress of Vienna, be- j tween a Northern Autocrat aud a ser- j grant of Napoleon! Mas not this a j rare, a natural consummation, well ( worthy the fraudful leagues and | bloody infractions which have diver sified the contest—well worthy the j orphanage and the widowhood which ! had shadowed England with woe, aud ttie frantic expenditure which has al most beggared her with debt ? This has been thecoscqueuee, and what do ,oii remember, was the motive to this aggression? Was it the establish u. nt of human liberty—was it the ad vance of human murals—was it tin vindication of national character vas it even any high-toned aud heroic impulse which Hung a factitious glory over tbe warriors progress, and gave ihe battle horrors even a visionary justification p Far from it. It was the most unjustifiable motive that ever unsheathed ihe British swori—the most unconstitutional 1 that ever stain ed the British annals. It was a bare faced interference with a foreign coun try, in ihe choice of its own govern ment—a direct infraction of the very principle upon wliieh England found ed her glorious revolution. It was a legislative denunciation of the doc trines acted on in I6«8. proclaiming J.lines a martyr, and William an usur per, and the people no better than re bellious regicides! Ihe war, howe ver, of course, had its pretences. Its first was ihe French republic—driven from this, its next was peace and re tributi' n. iudemni'y and security wis the Premier's war-whoop—and j wiiat has been our indemnity ? The ■ massacre of our population—the dc , basement of our character—the accu i mutation of debt beyond ail spend thrift precedent —famine in our streets and fever in our huuses—the estab lishment in Europe of a military des potism, which leaves the very name of freedom a mockery—the pay meut j of war taxes in time of peace, scarcely leaving it doubtful whether the bur j dens were imposed to support the war, or the war commenced to justify the taxes —the suspension of our constitu tion, if we offr to remonstrate. This lias been our dearly bought indemni ty ! And -v n tis our security?—an holy alliance, forsooth ! A league of king-, unhallowed and mysterious, bound by comp cs w hich must not be known, and leuued by bayouets which canuot be resisted ! This is our se ; runty ! The breath of Princes—the j caprice of Hydra, not fatigued over j the recent banquet, and only waiting i for its Hungary hour again to glisten . in ungorged rapacity ! Alas, what tea j ure have we even of such an alliance ! j Is there a member oi that punic horde ! V'ho has not been in turn the foe of bis j all- , and the ally of his foe, and do | you expect they will preserve th a faith towards us which they have not been able to preserve tow ards one an other? Is tn.-re a man of them who did not bow to Napoleon, and confess ' his title, and court bis confederation, and then denounce him as an illegiti mate usurper ? And was there among them, af'er wards, a eonsisten t renegade to deny the hand of fraternity to Ber ’ nivdolte, raised from the ranks of that very Napoleon? Perhaps this isstabili* ! tv of political principle may be coun teracted by person :t attachment Let | Prussia answer it when she looks at Al under, and remember the perfi | d ous abandonment of I'ilsit. Let Sweeden answer it when she thinks of Finland. Let Poland and Saxony ac knowledge it tu Prussia. Let Genoa speak. Let extinguished Venice pro claim it for Austria. Let Austria herself avouch it for France, and then turn to her immolated daughter—im molated with worse than Jewish cru elty, not to tile god of battles, but to the infernal Moloch of self interest. 1 j speak not now of that devoted France, j bending over her violated charter, and with tears of blood expiatiug the cre dulity that pul its fai'h in princes.— Bui 1 speek of Kngluud, of the Parlia ment of England, consenting to (lie plunder, smiling ou the partition, squandering the resources of a geue ; rolls and gallant people—fleets, and | armies, and generations, and for j wha ? lo forward ihe fraud of the continental intriguer—to establish the inquisition, and torture, and Ferdi j Hand—for the Bourbou in France, and the Bourbon in Spain, and the Bour bon in Naples—the rooted hereditary enemies of the country, for the nhso i lete blasphemy of divine right, dug from its tomb, and re-baptised leg’.'i mucy—fnr the restoration of those inn guiuary frauds upon human freedom., against which our sages wrote, ant!.' our warriors fought, and ear revolt! ' tioa thundered ! Shades of Locke and Milton were these your doctrines ! ! Blood of the Russels and the Hump j dens, has this been your legacy ? I People of England, is it for this that I your orphan and your widow niouru in j silent resignation—that your poor houses are ehoaked with a famished ! population ? Let those men answer , it, who, iu the name of Parliament, ' ratified the treaties, voted the snp ) pli es, advanced the subsidies, anti I cheered the miai-ter, just reekim; : from that hopeful congress, where le ‘ gitimaejr, drunk with humau blood. , flung its sword into the scale against | which the iibeuies of a world were j balanced. I have ju«t tonehed their conduct, as to our foreign relations, lias it i been compensated by their domestic 1 policy ? As far as in them lay. they have virtually annihilated the British constitution, and paved ihe way for a military despotism. They levelled, one by one, e v"> y harrier which the, wisdom of ages raised around tile h- . herties of the people. They snspen ; ■led the hebeas corpus act. Fathers ; of families were dragged from their 1 homes, loaded wi’h irons: subjected j ' to disease: stamped with ignominy; their helpless children turned adrift to beggary and prostitution ; and then, as they had been imprisoned without crime, so were they released without even the decency of accusation. They then passed the infamous gogging act; public meetings were forbmden—the power of discussion was withheld— he right of petition was in tact anni hilated. It was a uaturai consequence if the former measure—w hen inno cence is no exemption from punish ment, the privilege of complaint is nut a mockery. They then counten anced Lord Hid mouth's circular—a magistracy, perhaps ignorant, per haps corrupt, perhaps both—we, at least, can fauey such a magistracy— were invested with an arbitrary con struction of the libel act, upon which our most learned lawyers have differ ed in opimnH. They then sanctioned the oppressive alien uct, which flung back into the jaws of death the pat riot victims of despotic power, aud wrested from England her imprescrip tible privilege of giving refuge to vir tuous destitution. They theusCouied tbe repeal of the sept, uuiui act, an act which they were never delegated the power to pass, aud upon the prin- ! ctple of which they might as well make the representation an heir loom iu their families. 1 will nut further recapitulate their conduct, but 1 will remind you, that the situation of the captive under these measures was so litary imprisonment. Against all law or precedent, even magisliales were forbidden lo visit them—one man died —another, Mr. Ogden, the subject of merriment, has survived only to pro tracted agony. 1 pass from the sub ject, it is 100 paiuful to dwell upon. What was tbe pretence for Ibis tem porary despotism ? a plot ! a plot, iiulchi d by two apothecaries aud a lame cobbler—the tower was to be stormed, and the bank plundered, aud London garrisoned by a buckram ar my, whose treasury was a cypher— whose camp equipage was a blauket —whose ammunition chest was an old stocking, aud whose park of artillery consisted of the mortar which most rebeliiously outlived the wreck otThe apothecaries ! Those people were ar raigned upon the evidence of a villain ail leprous with crimes, whom the event proved to be the only convict. A wretch, who, when we saw the pre destined victim, and looked at the high priest, tilled the mind of lrelaud with terrific recollections, recalling instinctively’ that reign of blood w hen vve too had our Castles aud our Oli ver— when the bribed and perjured cannibal went forth inducing the crime that he might betray the crimin al—when neither youth, nor age, nor sex, nor innocence could eoncilliate, or avert those coiners of human blood —those vampires of the grave—those monsters without a name, before whose path the freshness of humanity wither ed—iu whose accursed minds, con science was only a commercial instru ment —aud friendship, treachery, and gratitude, murder. Who turned this land into one scone of hell, iu which (lie pangs and the convulsions of the sufferer only stimulated the ferocious exultation of their tormentors. \\ ho '■rept into the family of the nearest atid the dearest, courting tlie board, and pledging the cup, and fondling the infant, even at the very moment wlieu they were waylaying ihe un guarded confidence of the parent to devote him to the scaffold, and lo rise upon his tomb!—l »m shocked to ask, did the late parliament shield ihe em ployment of those ferocious and com mercial Cannibals ? If they did not, what was the meaning of the indemni ty bill? What difference is there be tween thb perpetrator of a deed and the minister who instigates it, and the parliament who protects it? 1 can see none—l see them chained together in one community of infliction, and whe j. ther 1 touch the highest or the lowest i link, the thrill of horror is the same in its communication. Geullemeii, I say again, if these things continue, we may bid farewell for ever to our .iberties. Os what use are all our vi sionary safeguards—of what use is .lie responsibility of ministers, if it is .0 depend upon the w ill of a parlia ment, whose majority is the creature of those miuisters ? What avails our <o celebrated laws, if they are to be thus capriciously suspended? What s our constitution with its theoretic blessings, but a practical and splen did mockery, if its noblest ornaments are to he effaced at will, and its strength turned into an engine of op pression r Oh! it is worse than fatui ty in us to deceive ourselves. Ihe tower iu which we trusted, turns out at last to be but a goodly vision; fair indeed to the eye. but as false as it is fair, falling to pieces at tlie wand of the minister, when the forlorn people approach it for proteetiou. Such, gentlemen, are my reasons fur the assertion 1 have made : their , inference may be. perhaps, doubted by 1 many, who can never see any thing, j even problematical, in the basest con ; duct of “ the powers that be”—their j existence, however, at least, is nndeui | able: In taking my leave of you, for the present, let me express iuy gratitude to the prompt, manly, and deeided friends, who so independently proffer ed me, not only their interest, but their purges, and particularly to theprofes < sioD&l friends, who, in addition, vo lunteered their services. The period is approaching when all may be necessary ; in the mean time, let every independent man in the county, register his freehold.aud await w ith confidence the hour of his libera tion. 1 am. gentlemeif, with gratitud* and respect, Your fellow-countryman, CHARLES if.iLLIPS.
