we will not endure your let or hinderance in this . And % more than all for ye to fear , we will not again be duped by you . We lyill advance weaponed by our own thoughts , panoplied by our own intelligence , artilleried by our own knowledge . We will ov , marshalled by truth , generalled by justice to all ; and our
impregnable bulwark shall be the voice of human nature . Muster all your sophistries , cajole all your sycophants , bribe all your serviles , titillate your several coteries of hereditary imbeciles , unite their and your petty , party manoeuvrings into a corporate jointstock of squint-eyed cunning , bluster till your cheeks crack , whine till each of you has worn away his trachea , and argue , bless the
mark ! till millions of words have exhausted the arrangements of arithmetical progression , and each phrase , from necessity , bekibed on the heel by a tautological follower ; You will never persuade us again . I You cannot unsay the saying of the 15 th of August , 1833 . ' No ; they cannot : neither can they vanquish nor silence these hearts , for therein is concentrated the majesty of power which cannot be
reached—which cannot be touched by a writ . They cannot stop the march . They may command a haltj but who will heed it now ? right about face' to the hurricane !

lipped forth , with serene smiles of benignant consolation , to velvet-cased pews and hard bare cross-aisled benches , the comforting fact that all were alike in the eye of God . This their theme has been for ages , but they became especially diligent thereon after the 14 th July , 1789 , when each , mildly and meekly , exhorted the occupiers of the bare pews and cross-aisled benches to be loyal and submissive to the just , impartial , and benevolent
laws of England ; where , blessed spot 1 the peasant , the humblest delver in the ditch , was as fully protected from all assaults , whose hearth and liberty were intrenched by justice and unassailable by fraud or oppression , made as sacred by his country ' s generous laws and matchless constitution , as the palace of the prince or the noblest duke ' s most honourable person ; and , as the flowing period roundly closed , the preacher glanced his gentle eye ,
