Tory & Whig Fallacies
Ch. Matchless Constitution
4
While the influence of the enemies of the people is thus continually
on the increase, the influence of the people is neither on
the increase, nor yet stationary, but on the decrease. In
Parliament the influence of the people being in effect nothing,
out of Parliament, if any where, must it exercise itself.
But without communication — without free communication both by
writing and by word of mouth — in small numbers and
in the largest numbers it can not be exercised. But while I
am writing in both ways is that freedom endeavoured to
be destroyed endeavours for the extirpating prevention of all such
communication are carrying on. William those ten days
have men by dozen and scores at a time been butchered
[+] butchered with the
approval support of
the military by men
a set of men much
more decidedly hostile
than the military
for no other offence than that of endeavouring at such communication
in collected numbers at least indeed but without either intention
of offence or possibility of self-defence, and for this butchery
by the Monarch of the country and his advisers, the perpetrators
have just been thanked.
