Ch. VI
§.2. Remedy proposed
2
Such being the condition, on the contemplation of which, the
inhabitants of the Colony without any exception, and if the one
free chosen becomes will have become such, it seems not too much to expect
that at the hands of human nature in the its present state of civilization, that
from a combination of good faith and gratitude they should
voluntarily receive this accomplishment
But. upon any sacrifice of personal
and particular, to public and general interest — wakens
that mind deficient in information and judgment —
that places an exclusive alliance. A guarantee therefore
were it not only for the sake of public discussion to bring to
bear upon the subject the force of public opinion should be
provided: and for this a service thus beneficent and
dignified, the Government of the Mother Country, whatsoever
were the form of that same Government might surely, be
without impropriety be looked to.
Nor would such a guarantee be an empty name.
Undertake the conquest of the Colony no more would this same
Government — if either the numbers of it, or the subjects of it were
in this sense any more than the numbers of the Company.
But that which it could do, and might be looked extended to for
reasonably be expected to do is — the in cases of bad
faith by breach of the infraction of the agreement, an a of
the infractor's trade. Trade in the stock of things the Colony
must have — trade with Europe at least — with or without any of
the other quarter of the globe one or more of them, is of all the
which depend upon such trade, the population of the
Colony would have to remain self-deprived.
