An Argument drawn from the dangers attendant in change
those dangers being expressed in its designation of those dangers no terms but general ones being employed
is in with reference to any particular measure that
van be mentioned, an inappropriate argument.
It is the a characteristic of every good measure
to be capable of being advocated supported with advantage
by appropriate arguments, and not opposed with
advantage by appropriate argument.
In like manner on the other hand it is the
characteristic of a bad measure not to be capable of
being supported with advantage by appropriate
arguments, but to be capable of being opposed
with advantage by appropriate arguments.
Being in the nature inappropriate, and such
as may by every eye can scarcely by any eye fail to be seen to be so, to any
use recurrence made of the argument draws from the dangers
attendant on change in general in circumstantial
evidence – and that so strong as to be nearly generally conclusive
if not of the goodness of the measure which
in the opposition of which it is employed, but of
a cause persuasion entertained in affirmance of that
goodness by him by whom this inappropriate
argument is employed.
