" To us this was an indulgences heard him speak before ? Though we did not know his person, and ; notwithstanding his unexpected brogue, we recognised him at once \ by the extraordinary peculiarities thar his first * remarks exhibited ih common with all his printed speech- i es i and truly we were much amu sed, and sometimes much delighted, with his strange repellent mixture of pathos, humor, sublimity, and sentimentality ; and with the fantas tical union of negligent and elabor ate phraseology. With his senti- i ments we coincide entirely, j and, indeed, we believe that only one opinion exists at present in the coun try, in regard to the represented k necessity of arrangements for pla cing our manufacturing establish ments in a more living-like condi tion. li It wa<?, on Motion, resolved u j nanimously, that a society be form ed in this district, for the purpose of furthering the objects of this \ meeting.
