Review.
2. Reduce the from 40 to 21 the age of eligibility. The
Students of the Ecole Polytechnique what have they done
to be excluded from 1 to 19 years from the possibility
of taking a part in the business of legislation.
Who does not know that a longer a man lives, the
more selfish he grow, the more his thoughts are confined
within himself and his own narrow circle. Then come
Wife and children: and by every child that comes not
only fresh pleasure incentive but a fresh plan is formed for
joining with the Amateurs of Charles in the plan of
regulable plunderers.
I say 21 year one and twenty years. Why? because
the undangerousness of that this arrangement stands
and the self demonstrated by experience. So likewise the sufficiency for
the highest appropriate intellectual aptitude. Think of our
Pitt! Think of our Fox! At an age no further advanced
leaders of parties both of them. Leaders and such Leaders!
Who is there that since that time has come near to them.
Yes: it is but too true. The Amateurs of Charles
are all of them, whether they know it or no your our means
not the sooner you are rid of them the better. But it is as
to insurrection, as to civil war, this is not the cheapest
way nor yet the promptest way to get rid of the. If
your Elections are free at any rate if the make the
magnitude of the present pecuniary gratification establishes
an Aristocracy, sooner or later you will rid yourselves
quietly of your Charter-photos and when they are gone,
and not tell, then may you may have an incorruptible
Government such as that of the United States,
And the sooner this wording operation has been completed,
the better: which is as no much as to say, the shorter the
duration of your Assemblies.
