As the shape of
in the co-operation for particular
purposes
most opposition and contest on personal ground

For upwards little less than a century century and a half, there has under the name of Tories and Whigs, the power
of this country has
been divided
between the favour partizens of Monarchy and
those of Aristocracy. Within a few years last past the
subject many have found champions to support their cause. Among them,
at no small hazard
to life liberty
and property
I have been among one of the first if very first to first of if not the very first,
to go so far as to make known, in print, and without disguising that I look upon no
form of government governance but the democratic as one that the people
ought to liberate to: and that one, important composed composed, as this is, of
Monarchy and Aristocracy, with but a faint tinge of democracy
is in its which compasses compasses [+]
[1] a sacrifice of the
inward happiness of
the subject many to
the external outward prosperity
of the one and the few.

These two parties
between whom the

power of the country country, so
far as depends on
respect of
far as concerns Legislation
is shared, have,
each of them a periodical
publication through
which their tenets
are adv recommended and
their measures
advocated, at the bar
of public opinion;
the Tories, the Quarterly
Review; the Whigs,
the Edinburgh Review.
About three years ago
that the cause of the
people might not be
altogether destitute of a similar
a support, I set up
at the [+]2
[+]2 expence of from them some thousand pounds
out of my very moderate means, and and have kept up without any
but a very faint hope of reimbursement a third periodical, published
[+]3
[.] as the two others are, four times a year; and the title of mine the not that I myself have ever written a syllable in it. Being committed by adversaries as a leading member of this third party I am thus
a constant object of attack in periodicals on both those sides of the question: but as nobody has which attacks are frequently carried on in as terms of sufficient virulence:
but as nothing specific has ever been found to charge me with not the smallest speck of resentment has been existed in my breast by any of of :
on the contrary so far as they come to my knowledge this is of such and argument to me

The opinions notions and wishes
worse and worse. This does is not I am thus seen to entertain have not hindered my
holding written intercourse in terms of mutual civility with two principal members, the
government Cunney Secretary for foreign affairs, Peel Secretary for Home affairs; one of whom, Peel,

while I am discussing another member member of the government the Chancellor Lord Elder whose pupil he has
been, as being occupied every day of his life in the of

or imprisonment transportation with forced forced labor, would
be the result requital, if the law were supposed to take its course.
Nor even have I been or shall I ever be sparing in one
, how my opposition to condemnation of measures which to all appearance have

by who but t'other day, in one of his letters to
me the words Private and confidential were inscribed.
