Associations

association, but against the impropriety of suffering
a people to remain in ignorance: besides the
recipe itself has a natural tendency to produce
the corrective which will serve as an antidote
against its ill effects: in proportion as associations
are formed, being formed in security, the
grounds of them the grounds of these will be communicated
and discussed. Liberty and knowledge
will go hand in hand: this liberty will
smooth the way for knowledge, while knowledge
checks the wanderings of liberty.

I see not what there is in the establishment of this right [of association]
that should make the situation of [the any government
more uneasy than it is at present. There
is not that government under the sun which
does not stand more or less in awe of the people
and think it necessary to accommodate itself in
some measure to their humours: and it should seem
that the more absolute a government is the more greater it
stands b in awe of them are its fears. [What Sultan so secure as a King of England?]
In Turkey the Janissaries and the mob tyrannize the Seraglio: Sultan & the Vizier: while the Sultan and the
Vizier tyrannize the mob. In London the voice of the
people expresses itself in petitions] words] and remonstrances:
in Constantinople in by in outrages: at London by petitions,
at Constantinople by fire conflagration . Which Amidst confounding In times of distress terror
and trouble difficulty
factions which is most secure? a King of Great
Britain or a Grand Signior? a Vizier trampling
on the people till it shall please a mob of incendiaries
or a company of Janissaries to demand his
head, or an English Secretary of State inviting pressing, courting the people in the King's name to exercise this the noblest of their rights.
See the circular letters of the Earl
of Shelburne in any of the
periodical papers publications for 1782.
