have been , is at present only matter of private surmise . But no person has even whispered , that it proceeded from pol tical or party feelings of any kind . Trure was a third capital conviction at Waterford ; it was that of two men , for burglary in a dwelling-house . This was the only transaction that was ,
in its nature , of a public description It appeared in evidence , that a body of armed mtn planned and executed an attack upon the house , hut the only discoverable motive was , that " the owner had been previously an inhabitant
of the county of Cork , and had ventured to take the farm in question . " Here , indeed , we see those public outrages proceeding to a degree mischievous in the extreme , and deeply to be lamented . Those unfortunate wretches
will imagine that , because a stranger to the county has the audacity to interfere bet \\ een them and their landlord , they are to violate the laws , assemble in arms , and make an example of the intruder , who shall settle in this country . These are terr ble delusions , pregnant with violence bloodshed and
anarchy . —The peasantry cannot too soon reject and abhor them , as ruinous and absurd . Gentlemen , I do not allude to your county ; 1 hope the system of setting lands by auction—of squeezing from
the vitals of tlie tenantry more than the actual value of the produce of the land , does not exist in this county . I hope and believe no sueh system prevails here—because like causes produce like effects ; and , in that case , the calendar now before me would have

S ., of Norwich , whose talents , integrity , and active benevolence , had procured him the resptfct and affection of all who knew him .

But 1 can descry no trace of any system of general disaffection , or of political Mischief . 1 therefore am utterly at z loss to account for those alarming assertions
circulated throughout the empire by those advertisements in the We * ford Journals of March and April last , importing to be resolutions , declaring the county in a state of disturbance—whilst , on the contrary side , we have the
advertisements ol respectable magistrates , affirming that there was no colour for those alarming assertions ; and that the county was in a state of profound tranqu ll \ ty . This subject affords matter of si-rious reflection indeed .
Gentlemen , these facts peculiar to your count } -, have induced me to travel at length into this subject , in order to t ' uard you against bei » g affected by similar alarms , originating in other counties . I hope , that by % our steady conduct in your own county , you will
prevent the rnaligners of this country from asserting any whrre , that the Almighty has poured the full phials of his wrath upon this land , so favoured by nature with her richest gifts ; or that he has cursed it , by implanting in it a race of men of so vicious and
depraved a nature , as is not elsewhere to be found . Gentlemen , I say , it is incumbent upon you to vindicate the stale of your county . You have ample materials for so doing ; you know the roots of those evils which distract the country \ they are to be found in those causfS which I have now stated . \ ( To he concluded in our next . ) \
