Some Gentlemen, having signed a Requisition to Mr. Brettell
(the Mayor), but doubtless in ignorance of its real contents,
to call a Meeting of the _principal_ Inhabitants to support _a
Moderate Reform_ in Parliament, that is in effect, no Reform at
all.
Arouse!!! and assert your dignity of character and right to
Independence, and your abhorrence at tampering with Vice, for
no honest men would wish the partial but entire Reform of
vicious habits and principles.
Attend then the Meeting, which is to take place to-morrow
morning, at the Town Hall, at 11 o'clock precisely, and by
your Vote avenge the insult offered to you by _this impudent_
Requisition, and shew the arrogant few that the many constitute
the _principal inhabitants_ of this Town, and at the same time
do your duty to yourselves, your families, and your country, by
demonstrating by your voice and votes that nothing short of the
removal of the whole of the evils which oppress us will satisfy
the just demands of an insulted and suffering people.
