Show I 96 l 011 this bulinefs of America I COnFelE I am {crious, even to fadnefs. I have had but one opinion concerning it linee I fat, and before I fat, in Par- liament. The noble Lord '7‘ will, as tlfual, probably, attribute the part taken by me and my friends in this bufinefs, to a delire of getting his places. Let him enjoy this happy and orionlal idea If I deprived him ofit, I fliould take away moft of his wit, and all his argument. But I liad rather hear the brunt of all his wit, and indeed blows much heavier, than iiand anfwerable to God for embracing a fyftem that tends to the deftrue‘tion of fome of the very befl. and fairefi ofhis works. But Iknow the map of England, as well as the noble Lord", 01‘ as any other perfon; and I know that the nay I take is not the road to preferment. My excellent and honourable hiend under me on the floor}, has trod that road with great toil for upwards of twenty years to- gether. He is not yet arrived at the noble Lord's deflination. However, the name of my worthy friend are thole I have eve1 wifhed to follow; becaule I know they lead to honour. Long may we tread the lame 10nd together; "hoeter may accompany us, 01 1111M111 may lauOh at us on 0111 journey! I lio111dliy and ‘10-: lemnly deela1e, Ihave in all leaions adhered to the lyftem of 166, for no otl‘1e1 realon, than that I think it laid deep in your truelt interefls-and that, by limiting the exercife, it fixes on the firmef‘c foundations, a real, eonlifient, well-grount ed au- thority in ptrliame'nt. Until you come back to that fyf'tem there will be no peace for England. * fordNort‘.1. F I 1~ Mr. Dondel..ell."m N I S. |
