At length being furnished with a perspective, of the price of one shilling, whose optic tube was all a twist, by the assistance of which he saw, or thought he saw a silken Flag belonging to the patriotic Settersup of lace frames, waving gracefully before the wind, on which he discovered the following motto: new recruit to the Frame of our Constitution." as his visual orbs like his brain, are too contracted to discover truth from falsehood, I will here put him right; it was the Flag belonging to the honest Framesmiths that was graced with this label, but as this is not the first blunder he has made it is the less surprising. Now, will this Scribbler say that the Frame of our Constitution does not want recruiting? if he will, (as ignorance is always presumptuous) let him examine the language which the Dukes of Richmond and Portland, and the Right Honorable William Pitt used not many years ago; and the opinions of the best and wisest Statesmen for the last half century and more, and he will find it was their opinion, and they boldly asserted it, that the Frame of our Constitution does want recruiting, and that it is much better to give it a recruit, than to suffer it so to go out of repair, that nothing can restore it to its former excellent state; but let me tell this Pedlar in politics, that the Framesmiths, the Setters-up, and their friends in all their attendant branches, are the Setters-up of Truth, the Recruiters of injured independence, and the firm supporters of the purity of those Whig principles that established the Constitution at the glorious Revolution, and secured the throne to the present Family against popish plots and Tory persecution, and they will think with every honest Briton, that it is the maintenance of those principles alone that can save this nation from the calamities which this Scribbler attempts to describe in a neighbouring country when

PLAIN TRUTH.

P. S.-Mr. Plain Nett, alias Tackrhyme; to regain your lost credit, in your next publication declare your sincere repentance for all the lies and falsehoods you have been guilty of, and declare your firm determination to support the Rights and Charters of this Town against Tory invaders, and the purity of the principles of the Constitution of your Country, from the dirty fingers of public peculators.

THE JACOBINS'

Lamentation and Conversion; Being a humourous Dialogue between Two Citizens of Nottingham.

New Citizen. Why so sorrowful, Neighbour? Old Citizen. I am cursing the day on which I be came a Jacobin-it has been the ruin of myself and family.

N. Cit. Dry up your tears; if Bit will make you glad at heart.

-H comes in,

0. Cit. No, Brother, these party affairs have brought all my trouble upon me.

N. Cit. If I thought being a Jacobin would bring me trouble, I would leave them I thought of being

an hosier before now.

O. Cit. And so did I, but now I see my error, for before I was drawn into their party affairs I throve in the World-I now heartily despise both Jacobins and

their system, which amounts to dethroning Kings and Emperors, crying out for a Parliamentary Reformwe told the people they were opprest-published the Rights of Man-formed Societies-denied the Scripture and endeavoured to bring others to our way of thinking, but we could not effect our purpose; at length we beat them, and rent their clothes, but they retaliated, and put us under the pumps, and made us sing "God save the King."-We then raised the price of corn and meat by wicked methods-- then nothing would serve us but attempting to throw COKE out; to accomplish which we threw stones at him, and spencered his friends, chaired B -H, and sent him to Parliament; but he was sent back on account of his not being duly elected. When COKE'S party canvassed we flung red herrings at them, but now, alas! we are obliged to eat our potatoes without them. I have idled away a fortnight, and offended my master, who has lent me a guinea in my distresspawned my clothes-my children starving-my wife fretting-and I am held in de.ision. O what shall I do-COKE will come in-B- н thrown out, and myself brought to beggary.

N. Cit. I perceive our system is made up of deceit -Let us, in future, fear God and honour the King, and mind our business; and no doubt but we shall live comfortably again; so farewell to Jacobinism.

O. Cit. So say I-COKE for ever-burn your yellow ribbons-put on TRUE BLUE in their stead, and sing "God save the King" by day light, instead of "Millions be free" in the dark.
