and numsrous meeting of His fellow citizens . The meeting was indeed a splendid proof that they had not been labouring in vain , acd that the princi ple of Universal Suffrage had taken a deep bold on the public ifiind . He trusted that their presence there that day was a pledge that they would never cease agitating , sever cease their peaceful , legal , and e-us-tuutona , agitation , till they acquired tbat great privilege which they , in such immense numbers had met to a *« m their right to . ( Loud cheers . ) Huthanked them for the glorious response they had made to tne call of the Convention , and he hopp . a the Delegates preseut would bear the tidings to tfee-ir L-ouiitrvmen , that the men of the North were with Ihem uniud toa man . They were alUo inumately ac-quAint » .-d with his opinioasthat he did Hot rsq . jire
to enter into any detail of tbe-ra in tbat place , and their time would be fully occupied -with .--p eaker * ivaoae opinion * they had not heard before , and therefore he would no : detain them with any lengthened rerasu-ts , but they wouid allow him to give them a wo ; d of advice , he trusted they would , all of them , that day consider themselvefi in the light of special consaibles for the time being ; and if ar . y villaoou . s Whig or rascall y tyrant Tory dared to interrupt tbeir proceedings , they would just lay hold of him and Dau . 1 him over to the police . ( Laughter . ) The police were amongst them a * friends , and he thought they would bz quite willing to associate with them as conservator * of the peace . ( Cneers . ) Btfore sitting dovn ke thanked them heartily for the high honour they had conferred upon him .
According to previous arrangement the third and eighth ve . - ses of the xciv . Psalm were « ung by the i : n ; F . er ;> e multitude , accompanied by a brass band . Tbe vast assemblage stood uncovered at this stage of tha proceedings , and the effect wa * most iinposiDgly grand . Mr . Gillkspik , Secretary to the Universal Suffrage Association , then came forward , and in a aeat speech proposed the first resolution . Mr . Charles M'Kay , after a few remarks as to the numbers on the Green , compared with those at tbe nieetirg * on the vw t * of Earl Durham and Mr . O'Connell to Glasgow , said hs believed that this sneering was larger , by 50 , 000 , than either of th o ' r mre ; iD ^« , at which there were 350 , 000 , accordir ;^ in h ? Wni g press of that day . He seconded 'he resolution .
Mr . Collins , being introducedhy the chairman , sa ; 4 he was perfectly dtli ^ hved with tbe magnificent display tht-y made on this occasion . "When he had last the honour of addres ^ in ^ them , be Mr , vxceed' rb' gratifitrd with the Hohie demonstration they tud maJe the same place ; but he was teD times more gratified tovr . ( Cheers . ) They had proved tha : ihe princi-,. lei they theD avowed were not avowed from the impulse cf the moment , but that tht'y were the indwelling fetlings 0 ! conviction and experience . ( Loud cheers . ) The has- , ) yin ^ Wcig faction had endeavoured to throw discord and division into : he Radical camp , but the men of Scotland were true to their principlesand
deter-, mined to accomplish the object they had in view — the re * iontion of the rights aid liberties if ihtir eouu - ry . ( Iauaeuse checrini ; . ) The resolution he held in his h * nd mrde re ' ereteo to che . 'uffe ; iDCg endun-d by tbe people of this kingdom , and stated that that « as or . e of the fffects of exclusive legi « la ; ion . It alsi pled ged tbe meeting never to relax their exertions uatil _ Universal S-jflrage became the law of tie land . ^ Now , he was not > , 'oin ^ to intuit the men of Scotland , by U ' . kipg to them of the nect * - si'y for Universal Suffrage . ( Hear , bear , and che-rs . ) H « j was sati .-fied that they wt-re convinced of its justice , and he would not take up their time by proving it . He hr . d come to j-treiistbtn
their hand ' , . md to show thfcm that he at least was - . nth tfei-ra still , and to n « ure them that he would be with thtn while his life la-ted , and whilejusriue was on their sice ( cheer . s ) ; and » o long as he advot-attd the priucij . ltn he now stood forwa d to support , bt was confident he would not be de .-er ; e . d by th * m . ( Chre : ! -. ) They had just been siting tha ' c the wicked slew the vr . dow and the fatherlss- , and asrouu . iing as the fact was , it wa « literally true , faT he was prepared to prove that thousand * of tbe working c ' as-e- were muni . red by slow degree * t ' fr . vagh t ' . e operation of the accursed laws , and no ho : ias : ! H 3 . ; 1 , wcowa .-i aware of the fact , could think for urtat thing to glory in j-inee the comnieiicement
o : ; e moment cf deserting the cause . They WA got vac of their agitation , which was , that neither Whigs nor Tories had ev » r dared to cosne pub'i ; r ! y forward ; o rind fault with the princi ple of Universal Suffra . e , hut they had endeiiv ^ ured , by a sort of nide wi- ( i , to turn the attention of the people from the pr : cci ( - ! e they were row advocating . A Tory parson had taid to him— " the people are i ^ 'noram , acd uurit ioi the exercise of the lranckise ? " He had a ::-wcred "Why do yoa not try to iu struct them , then , you who are > nid thousands a-year for that purpose , ar . d yet do nothing for it ? " Another argument raised by the oppui . eats of Universal SuiTrage wa-- . tbat they ( Ci . >» r ; i-j ! s ) wanted to fiirnish the
rogue ., with the franchise . ( Hear , hear , and alrogh . ) 1 he best answer to that w : s tj point to the Charter , woere it was plainly laid down that tho .-e tainted with crime > hould net have a vote . No- * , even rno-j ^ h they did pive the poor rogues a vote , why not them ai well as the rich rogues who lived in £ 10 houf-e ? . ( Laughter and iM . i-er . * . ) Ibr . one had as much right SS the other to the franchise , End he wished 10 kcoiv why one rogue shouid Dot have a rote as well us another . ( Utah of laughter and applause . ) The one had as much ripht to be kicked a- * the other , and why v . ot give both the same privilege ? For himself , he never would give up agitating the principle " that an honest man , be he paor
as he may , has a ri ^ ht to a voice ia the muting of the laws by which be is governed arcd taxed to support . " ( Cheers ) Mr . Collins then alluded to the mcor . siitent conduct of Mr . O'Connell , whom ht comp =. rrd to the champion , because be had suited his opinion to the colour of the people he was amongst . He now wanted them to abandon Aunual Parliaments , and take up Triecnial Parliaments . ( Hear , hear . ) Now , if he ( Mr . Collins ) wanted a proof of the necessity for Annual Parliaments , he had only to point to those woo bad taken so conspicuous and violent a part in their ag ha ' . ion a few mouths since ; and if one year made gtich great
ehnape , he was of opinion that twelve months was quit * loDg enough to hinder honvst rafn from being allowt-d to represent tbe people . ( Loud cheers . ) But he could assure thpm that , though two or three cf tbe Birminabam leaders had deserted their post ? , not one of the workirg men of Birmingham had resigned . ( Loud chee ? s ) A proof of this was the fact that , within two or three hours' notice , 70 , 000 of the men of Birmingham had come out to meet the Convention , and welccnie them as the real repre- entatives of the people . After ose or two other rema'ks , Mr . Colliffs sat down amid loud and longcoDtiaued cheering .
Mr . John- Frost , being introduced by the Chairman , came forward , and was received with tremendous cheering . Ho said—Mr . Chairman and m .-n of Scotland , I have come fiv ^ hundred miles to witness this demonstration , and I am entirely satisfied with -what 1 have seen . I will certainly follow the advice of your excellent chairman , and let ray ftiends in "Wales know how they manage matters of this kind in the Norch . Such an exhibitioH I have ne ^ tr geen before ; and I have no lioubt that what I am now enabled to tell them will make them take a more active part ia public matters-in those ma'ters which concern tbeir p olitical well-being . ( Cheers . ) And I would ask wha : has brought you together on this occasion ? When we look to tb :- mode in which yeur concerns
b . we been managed by the Government , we have an escslleKt answer . The aristocracy have taken care to manage your affairs for their own special beceSt ; and in this way more than one-half of yoar earnings are taken from you to support a system of government from which y ou derive no benefit . The oDly remedy U Universal Suffrage —( heers)—tbat you may have power to choose men wbo will transact your business honestly and zealously . ( Loud cheers . ) As for your present representatives , I believe that were you to look out the whole of Scotland you could not choose men more incompetent for their Parliamentary duties . ( Hear , bear . ) More than one half of them are professed gamblers . Inquire into their private characters , and you will come to the conclusion that the one half of those
men who oake tbe laws are not distinguished for their conduct . ( Sear , bear . ) If you had the Suffrage I believe you would choose a very different sort of men altogether . Il ' you had Annual Parlia-Eients vou would assuredly deprive them of the power to ir , wrong . You yonr « elve « know the beneHtJ that ' . fill ^ CL-rue frcia Universal Suffrage , and I ne . d not truu ' n ' e you wit" . ? . ny remarks on that b .. -51 , fcu : I ' . vculd c-. iriiv ^ ii ; ixprcs ? upon you

tbe neewsity oi your supporting the meo w > . o take a ieiwi upon this occasion , by every meaas ' in ; jur po-ser . The advice I have given to ray roan trymen ic Wales is the same as I wjU give you now . They are determined to hold by the law , and I have advised tbtffl to hold thiii opinion , that they who break the Isw make themselves amenable to it . The members of tbe Convention have never yut broken the law , nor are they likely to do so ; and , therefore , if they are attempted to be laid hold of by the Government , we are determined to lay hold upon some uf the lsaOing men ih the country as hostages for the safety of the Convention . ( Immense cheering . ) If our enemies do as James the the neci-tsity oi vour fiupponiEi / the men wV-o ti \»\
Second did , it will then be our duty to see that those who break the law shall not do so with impunity ( Loud cheers . ) I believe that your number now cannot b » less than 150 , 000 men , and when 1 consider the character of the men of Scotland , I am u&tisfiid that this good cause will end successfully and for your benefit . ( Cheers . ) I hope you will consider and act upon the resolution which has just heen submitted co you , and that you will ao continue to act , am that unitedly and determinedl y , until Universal Suffrage becomes tbe law of the land . Mr . Frost made one or two remarks on the oonduct t ) f tbe landed proprietors and the aristocracy and sat down amid great chesring .
The resolution wa « then put from the chair , and a complete forest of hands appeared in support of it . There was one solitary hand held up against it . Mr . Hamilton , of Sfoneiiouse , proposed the second resolution , and , in doing so , begged to make one remark : —It was a most important resolution , and one that demanded their most . serious attention . The Whig and Tory Governments had adopted a most effective and pernicious liHe of policy towards the people . By their getting the people ' s hard cash into their hands , through t he National
Security ' s Savings' Bank , they had been enabled to fight the people with their own weap on * . ( Hear , hear . ) It was well known that the working classes had no less a sum than £ 18 , 000 , 000 in the Savings ' Banks , or , in other words , in -Government securities . There was onl y about four millions gold and AUtir in tbe Bank of England ; and if a demand was made upon that Bank for specie , it would have tbe effect of bringing the present Government to a stand ; and they would , no . deubt , then be brought to think of conceding to the just demands of the people . ( Cheers . )
Mr . PATfensON , Secretary of the Airdrie "Universal Suffrage As-focmtion , seconded tha resolution . Mr . Richardson , from Manchester , deWgate to the Convention , then addressed the meeting . He began by sayiv , g—he had a sort of clai m for a hearing from that assembl y , because he represented a constituency who lived b y the same means , who worked nearly at tbe same sort of employment , and who were - in fact , the same * ort of people ; and tbeie was a further claim—because the bulk of thn manu f acturing population was going to wreck and ruin , in consequence of the paper monry i ^ u ed liv tbe British Government . Hs himself had seen its effects , and he could tell thorn that he had seen
men who had risen from the people , who wiru worth nothing at one time , become rich by tbe pnper mor . ey system , and look upon the people with contumely aF , d contempt . ( Hear , hear . ) They had now a que-tion before them , a que tion whie ' d was agitating the country in all directions—not Up . ivernal Suffrage alone , but a question of equal importance te that most important of all civil rights—a question of money . And wh y was it a question of importance ? Because the manufacturing population were supported by money , asd the agricultural were supported by what they could raise from the pround . But how wc-re they to withstand the shock ? The Government had prospered by paper
money , but it was a forced prosperity ; and now they are gain ;; down dawn , in the scales , Bnd they wi-hfcd tbe Tories to take the matter inco their hands . They had all the hard ca-h , yet they knew that they had not wherewith to carry on the affairs of the Government . One consequence was , that in Manchrster , mills after mills were stopped , and factories put on short time or entirel y decerted , and " the people , like themselves , were on the point of starvation for want of employment . All theso were th « cursed effects of the paper money . When they demoded the gold and Hilver which they had lent the Government through the Savings' Banks , did they expect to gtt it back , wholly bftek ? It was
impossible they could get it back . Wh y , the Commissioners for Reducing the National Debt had taken twenty-two millions of their hard ca-h , their shilling * aud their pounds to pay off that debt , and there was only about forty thnasaitd pounds of hard money to pay them hick their twenty-two millions . ( Laughter . ) He did r . ot advise them \ i > make a run upon these Banks , or to make any alarm in the eouutry , but he advised them to look sharply after what th-y had in these Savings' Banks . ( Renewed laughter and c-h « . -eT * . ) To advisu a run upon the Banks was illegal to advise them to embarrass the GovettiKitnt i « mnm-y matters was illegal , but to advise them to look after their own was perfectl
y legal , and ju . 't , and reasonable . ( Loud laughter and cheers . ) He would * ity to them do not go to the Savings' Banks , because it mi ght chance that they would get their money , ntd the people of Manchester would get none . ( Latter . ) But let us know when you are read y , when we will all go together—only give us a fair start . ( Loud cheers . ) If the Government had not the people ' s hard cash to trust to , the army would be diVbanded and the navy kid up in deck . Would they believe , that wh * : n they were going to deposit their twelve shillings in those banks , that that twelve shillings went to buy a musket for the army , or that a shilling went to purchase kail cartrid ges for these
muskets . ( Hear . ) He did r . ot advise them to take that h < -lp from : he Government ; but be did not think tbat they would be ? o foolish as to lend a man a stick and p . * k him to thra-sh them . ( Liughte . r . ) If tht ^ y wanti-d to take away tbo corruption which now fostered iu the body politic , he would say to them—Do not attack the army or tha navy , nor tbe yeomanry , nor the militia—these are the strong points ; but attack tfce weak points—attack the bunkiags ^ stem , and when you have thus laid the axe to the root of the evil , strike hard , andth « Whole massof corruption and injustice falls to the ground . ( Immense cheering . ) The Convention thought it most prudent to attack the-Government on Us weak points ; and
they should be prepared to act in support of the Convention , when they would think it proper to rxceed the bound * of the law , and advuetbemto run upon the banks . ( Long continued cheering . ) Hi ? wished lhetn to take out their money from benefit societies , if their funds were in Government securities . These societies were the back bone of the Government . In conclusion , he had only to thank them for coming forward in such vast Dumbers to that great meetiDg , in the causo of freedom and justice . . ( Loud cheer . * . ) They were part and parcel uf the inanufac ' uring system , and he trusted they would support the resolution . Mr . Richardson resumed his seat amid chef ring . ITM . _ _ V _ , * ¦»' . ' V _ '_ The resolutUn
feeing agam read and put , was carried unanimously . Mr . BoDGERsin ashort and pithy addreps , proposed the third resolution ^ which waa seconded by Mr . M'Akdbxw . Mr . O'Bhie . v then came forvrnrd , and apologised for his inability to address them at any lengtb , ho was . fp .- knocked up by previous exertio ' n . Indeed , he ^ ould not have appeare d before them , at that time , "but he was so proud of the high complinvut they had paid him , that he could not refrain from making one or two observations . The resolution he now rose to supprort was one of great Importance to them . It was now about sayen years eince , tired vmh humbug and delay , he wished for something to
be done ; He had said in his publications to the people , " prove to the government that you are' now going to uave your own representatives returned , to represent you iu ParHssaent . Take advantage of a general election , and in every borough and connty propose candidates , and support and curry tkem at the poll . " If a show of hands waa taken by the Mayor or Sheriff of the county , and they had the mr . jority , the Mayor or Sheriff was bound to declare their candidate duly elected . Thfl « e men would be the virtual representatives 1111 til apollwas demanded . : ^ ow , tta show of hands at the public meeting was the true poll , and declared to be so by an Act passed in the reign of Henry VI . They had then to
disperse and declare they would have no other poll , no flumbugmodern innovation —( iaughterand cheers)—that the candidate returned b y a show of hands , was the true representative , according tothe constitution of the country . They would have no other poll , winch went to exclude nine-tenths of the people—( loud cheers ) , unless they were prepared to show that their agitation im i p vain . He would not give a fig for all their claoaonring and clapping of hands unless the people were prepared to do something e { festive —( hear , hear)—their present House of Commons did not represent them * -it represented the
fellows who live by profits , who live "b y usury . It also represented a rascall y crow of attorneys , bishops and parsons , pawnbrokers and stockjobbers . It represented men who had no interest in the welfare of tke country . The stockjobber had the same interest in the public calamity , as tho pawebroker had m private distress . ( Hear , hear . ) It also repre sen ted military officer . * , and it is a fact that about 2000 brothel keepers iu Loiidon Had votes .

The Wbfed said the Tories were goiliy of perjury , nay Daniel O'Conueli declared th 3 t every man of tkem had been guilty o perjury , of the most atrociooa ptrjury , and that be could prove it . ( Hear . ) That was tha character o ' « ae-balf of the House . ( Langbter . ) The rascals did not dare to deny the charge , because they knew taat it was the troth , but they replied- " the Whim have ^ been guilty of more perjury ( renewed laughter and eiieers ) , and that they were endangering Queen Victcma s throne—they had attacked oroDertv . and r ' „¦>»„» .. * , > . . . .
tin * attack would proceed from one kind of property to another , therefore they said , you ( Whigs ) are traitors as well aa perjurers .

of England said , that the polls should be counted , and that the candidate who i-hoald have the greatest number oj polls « hould be declared duly elected now the word poll meant their heads— - 'a laugh , )—and lie wag sure that it would take a prettv long time to count all their polls—( renewed laughter , )—but he believed they could all be counted on the sice of justice and equalivy .

The resolution being put , was carried unanimovis . y -amid the cheers of the meeting . Mr . M'Keiikacher proposed the fourth resolution , which was seconded by Mr . Wiught . Dr .

( Loud cheers . ) Aud as the music oi" the pennies ( the only music the shopkeeper loved to hear ) cfa .-ed , ajid the box ? s became empty , he might be brought to acknowledge the right of the people to be represented . ( Laughter . ) It they acted upon this plan , and put it . mt » immediate execution , they would Hud that that alone would secure the Charter , and their committee had only to sst up a shop , and they would tuid piucty oi rivals on every side of them on the '
Chartist principle . ( Renewed laughter and cheers . "» He bore no ill will to any inau or class of men ' ; it wns systems he made war upon , not men . He did not blame the middle classes that they trampled their poorer brethren to the dost ; he blamed the Radicals for allowing them to do it . ( Cheers . ) He was nearly Lalf au Knglishinau , for he re relented a good part of Englaad ; but he would say they had outdone the men of England to-day on Glasgow Grees . ( Htfar , hear . ) That gathering woull do something to make both Whigs and Tories stare , the one with astonishment , the other with terror . — ( Cheers . ) If they had the courage to act upon the system of exclusive dealing , nothing could prevent them from obtaining their rights . When their opponents saw them appoint a bod y of men to git in London , and watch over their interests—when they « aw that that body of men could bring the system of exclusive dealing into England , Scotland " and

( Laughter . ) li they had been as far advanced everywhere , as in these towns where the women took the lead , he was convinced they would have gained their rights long ago . He was proud to see the reception which they l . i ad given their delegates from England .

Mr . Bussev then rose and shortly addressed the meetiug . He said he believsd tht ? i <> patience was already tired . ( Cries of "No , no .

( CheeTS . ) He sboul i have bwn thu very last man to speak to a resoiv . tion of that kind , if there was no necessity for it . But their enemies practised it , andifthev were able to bring their enemies to terms'by such a oouree , he did not see where any reasonable objection could be made to it . ( Hear , bear . ) A set of men had go ; into power upon the shoulders of theae people , and these very men now tried to kick their old allies for all they Lad done for them . ( Hear b Tht

These men had suspended two constitutions and they hp . d it under can-ideration to suspend t . vo more . ( Hear , hear . ) If he went on to relate the villanous acts of the faction toward * the people , he would detain them a fortnight . ( Laughter and cheers . ) He waa of opinion that if they acted up to this resolution , they would speedily overturn both Whig and Tory factions . Ewry class , but the working class , had exclusive privileges . The aristocracy , the middle class , the ten pounders had exclusive privileges , but the national debt was all that belonged to tha masses . ( Roars of laughter . ) If there was oue means above another which would be of service in

( Loud cheers . ) There was no sympathy existing between the classes , it was entirely a q-iestiou of pounds , shillings , and pence . Gold was the god of the shopkeepers , and if the way to an Ens ? liskman ' s head was through his beliy , he believed tbe way to a iniJdla class irian ' q was throHgh his pockets ( Laughter and cheer .- . ) It was high tim-3 for them to come forward and t-ike a pnrt in the struggle , and if they refused , all that ho could aay was—there was moro honesty in doing a good turn to a friend than to an enemy , and ho advised them to go invarinbly to the man who would assist them to gain their rights .

It was very well for the man who had lHnchedtoteli those who vrere starving to wait tiil dinner wa * ready , bat he would confess the men of England could not have patieace . They bad patience too long ; and all that they had got for thsir patieace was contumely and icsult .

deminions . 1 hey would tell her that , in her name they had l » een robbed and plundered—in her name the most damnable injustice had been committed on her suffering people—that in her name tbe husband had been separated from the wife , ana the wife from her _ children—in her name they had been shut up in bastiles , and their only crime was r ; rty . Her Majesty waa said to have told Sir Peel that rather tkan be separated from the friends and companions of her youth , she would become a private subject . ( Hear , he&r . > This wo-ald no doubt lead people to suppose- that her private subjects were comfortably provided with the necessaries of life .

A Duel . —A hostile meeting took place on Thursday at Wimbledon Cotnmon at three o ' clock , between the Marquis of Londonderry and H . Grattan , E ? q ., M . P ., explained in a correspondence which has been published in the daily papers , from which it appears that Mr . Grattan wrote oa Tuesday night to Lord Londonderry for an explanation of the words'" base " . and infamous " made use of by his Lordahip when speaking of Mr . Grattau ' s speech on the late change of ministry . His Lordship , in reply , stated that he had read in the House ef Lords v .-ords attributed to Mr . Grattan , which declared that "her Majesty ' s life would not be safe if the Tories came into power ;"' and it vrastosucha declaration that he had applied tha epithets alluded to . Mr . Grattan wrote aeain
requesting that as he had not in any speech alluded to Lord Londonderry , hia lordship woul distinctl y declare that the words " base" and " infamous" were not applied to him . The Marquis , ia repl y , referred him to his former letter , adding that "he must adhere to the opinion he had alread y expressed , as applying to any individual who is prepared to avow such language . " Mr . Gr xttan then placed the matter in the hands of J . J . Bodkin , Esq ., M . P ., who was referred to Lord G . Bentiuck as tbe Marqois ? s friend . On the ground the parties were placed at the usual distance , and , on the signal being given , Lord Londonderry received Mr . Grattan ' a fire , ' and then fired in tbe air . Mr . Bodkin , on the part of Mr . Grattan , then expressed himself perfectly satiified , and the affair ' terminated to the satisfaction ' of all parties . ]} . ; i
Address to the Queen . —The Ministerialists attempted to pass one of their loyal addresses to the Queen at a county meeting ; and they failed . They mastered their forces at Exeter , but weie eucounte ^ d face to face by the Tories ; and the Hi gh Sheriff decided that the numbers for and against an amendment , moved by Lord Devon , were so nearly equal that he could not decide which party had the majority ; so the meeting separated without adopting the addreaa . It is alleged that the High Sheriff laboured under an optical delusion ,, inasmuch as the Liberals evidently exceeded their opponents in number . Possibly ; but on the other band , the tutbors of tbe aidress * it was proposed to send te her Majesty were amicted with mental obliquity , since they M ^ ated ^ e exPtoded fictioa that tbe Duke of WelliBgton and Sir Kobert Peel attempted to "
encroach on the copBtitutioaal privileges and prerogatives of the Crown . " The " Queenite agitation " * eemstohave pretty well subsided ; and we do not recollect that a single couaty or in a populous borough throughout England and "Wales , exefpt bouthwark , haa an address been carried at a publio meeting . There have been numerous exhibitions of loyal and AntirTory feeling , bat on a small scalenothing that can be called a popular movement ; and most of those addresses which have been sent up to tbe Throne carried on their face evidence of being the offspring of delusion aad fraud—nearly all assuming that the Tory leaders had behavtd to the Queen with" disloyU insolence . " In Tories , this would be pronounced " fud ^ e ; " in Whigs and Liberals , it ia unprinci pled t-ry ' csliag and mean disi hoae . sty . —Sjstfcfafor . 1
