Squib against MR. BIRCH's Party. BROTHER JACOBINS, We must now proceed to a NEW ELECTION, if we can muster the One Thing needful. And as openly declaring our wish to overturn the Constitution, brought sad disgrace upon us, I wish to advise you to be more discreet in future both in your conduct and writings. Remember the melancholy end of some of our BRETHREN in Horsemonger-Lane, (which makes my cravat feel tight whenever i think of it,) there. fore we must be very careful of our MEETINGS. DROP saying any more about the gagging Act, as it would have been well for us had it been in force, when we went to WESTMINSTER HALL, where we made a VERY bad Figure, leaving TWO FRIENDS behind us and Mr. BLACK Ror seemed much inclined to keep another or two. HYPOCRISY is the only Thing to bring us through PUT on every appearance of LOYALTY however unpleasant to your feelings. Sing" MILLIONS BE FREE” only in private, and though you may have forgotten from disuse, you must now learn GOD save the KING" and such like stupid Songs, but be careful to explain the Hum of this to those NOT in the secret. Promise work and frames to all who may lose them, as you need not keep your Word longer than till our FRIEND has passed- -the Sand Hills You must as much as possible cry down the STOCK PURSE, but use all industry in getting subscriptions to OUR OWN PREACH up peace and good order, and knock no Enemy down except in the dark. Abuse the blind supporters of the WAR, though to be sure DAN always voted for Peace. Talk loudly for Civil and Religious Liberty, but say nothing of the Slave Trade, and if we can upset the Law, we will make a Football of Religion. Above all keep us out of WESTMINTER; for the seats are so hard and uneasy, that it cost me three pair of breeches.. Excuse, these Hints, BROTHER JACKS, Health and Fraternity, DOUBLE-FACE. P.S. I shall drop you a line again shortly.. Squib against MR. COKE's Party. BROTHER DOUBLE-FACE, Your pretty Epistle serves one very good purpose: but in our next say nothing about the "One Thing needful”—If we meet with our deserts, we shall get it soon enough.— Stick to the Humbug of DISLOYALTY, DIS-AFFECTION, CONSPIRACIES, &c. &c.without these you know we should be in a miserable plight. Don't mention the word gagging again—if it go out of fashion, how are we to keep up the Spirits. of the Party. Say nothing about WESTMINSTER HALL-it is a sore place-our friend DAN will long remember it--Lord Mansfield to wit. Keep up the Appearance of LOYALTY-Actions don't always accord with Professions. Sing God save the King in public as often as possible-I always found it the best possible cover for Iniquity.Witness 1780-1794-Birming ham, &c... Keep up the Spirit of COERCION-without it we stand no chance. Cry aloud for FREE ELECTION-Rever mind how you oppress to gain your point-No Election free, we don't win. Say nothing about the STOCK PURSE-there are fingers enough in it already.. Be careful you say nothing about RELIGIONthose who talk most of it, will be found to have the least. Be mum about knocking people down in the dark-'twas'nt dark when our valiant Colonel* ***** took to the Feather-bed-must not quiz him. Mem.-Feather-beds an excellent improvement in the system of Military Fortificationought to be countenanced by the Commander in Chief. Something like it used by my Uncle Toby and Corporal Trim. Say nothing about Ribbands, Flags, &c. &c.The Recruiting Serjeant's optics are weak-can't distinguish colours-once had a Vertigo in the Upper Story-its velosity so great, formed white from the primary colours-it is supposed "Nature's most beautiful parts" dazzled his eyes-Is a very modest Man-Never goes to the Opera. Must not give ourselves too many airs-Are instances of consequential people being humbledNo bad story about the GROCER-Was in a desperate sweat-Glad to get out of the box. Say nothing about BOWLES and the GODDESS-If you doubt the policy of silence-ask -the Castle-gate Hero-Or the great little Hosier in Stoney-street-The naked Truth will come out at last.-Leave Parchment to Worsted Stockingmay expect a fine dressing. PONDER well these hints-and when you write: again, you shall hear farther from me. Yours, TRUE BLUE. Squib on MR. COKE's Address. To the Electors of the Town and County of the Town of Nottingham. GENTLEMEN, Being informed that several parts and passages in my late Address to you, have been either misrepresented, or not perfectly undertood, I think it my duty to give you the following true and faithful explanation of them, being anxious that my sentiments should be thoroughly known to the real Electors of Nottingham.
