No Advocates for the Old Constitution. No Censure on Coalitions. No exposing State Tricks. No complaining of Hired Bludgeon-Men. No Reflections on Cockade Constables. No GRUMBLING at ANY THING. HOOD, SHERIDAN, and CLUB LAW for Ever!!! To the Independent Electors of Westminster. WHO is asking to be one of your Representative? The Son of an obscure Irish Player, a profession formerly proscribed by our laws; and its followers by various statutes stigmatized as incorrigible rogues and vagabonds.--Possessed of a considerable portion of ribaldry, disgusting obscenity, and dissoluteness of manners, this Harlequin Son of a Mountebank Father was indulged by some few of the depraved Nobility of the age with admission into their society, as a kind of hired Jester, whose grossness of conversation was calculated to stimulate their already too luxuriant debauchery. From these beginnings he moved through all the gradations of meanness, tricking and impudence, to the station he now fills; his career has been marked with every species of profligacy and extravagance; to support which, S which, he has been compelled to resort to low cunning and vile impostures. I will not make any honest man blush by the recital of themmy paper shall not be thus stained: The ruin of hundreds of industrious Tradesmen and their innocent families are the evidences, and will rise up in vengeance against such oppressors -If you look at his political life, you will find it exhibiting equally repulsive traits :-At one time the friend and supporter of principles subversive of the Constitution and of all order; the advocate of the French Revolution and its wildest theories; the defender of an O'Connor; the systematic opposer (whether right or wrong) of all the measures of the Government; yet, when in place, pursuing the same measures; inconsistent, tergiversating, unpatriotic, and the Apostate' of Public Liberty: Ever regardless of the true interests of his Country, the acquirement of place his only object, the love of its advantages his only care.-And can such a MAN be a fit Representative for the Independent Electors of Westminster? No!! No!!!-Let it not be said, that the dictates of an imperious Minister shall determine your actions! Debased, sunk below the possibility of recovery, mortified and stung to the soul by the success of his opponents, this would-be and cannot-be popular Candidate, on his knees, most humbly sues his masters to raise him from the dirt. Yes! and they will attempt to raise him, but it will be only to to sink him the lower, to make him their tool, their dependent, their slave. And, Gentlemen, will you be represented by a dependent and a slave of the Grenvilles? Forbid it Justice! Forbid it Virtue! Forbid it Freedom!!! A CALM OBSERVER.

JEM PAULL's ADDRESS TO HIS CONSTITUENTS; OR, An excellent New Song on the Westminster Election, Tune THE STORM. 1. CEASE, Sir Samuel, gallant Sailor! First I, on the shopboard seated, Preach'd to Journeymen a score; In the COMMONS then repeated All the Snips had heard before. 2. In my youth I sail'd for India; Trade and wealth began to dawn: Of the Man I now IMPEACH. 3. What though some malignant railer Knew the secrets of the STATE? 4. What though all my humming, hawing, Only made the COMMONS laugh, Since each Briton stout and hearty, Treats me with neglect and scorn; Soon I join'd with BONAPARTE, BURDETT, JON ES, and Parson HORNE. 5. Working on St. Stephen's benches Ev'ry Minister shall be, Who upon the Mob intrenches, Speedily sewn up by me! Then |
