Two Letter

And of The papers now laid before the public,
the publication has having been kept back for the reasons mentioned
in a another place, Plea for the Constitution cotemporary. In the mean time copies have
been conveyed addressed to different persons from whom whose character no
such inconvenience as is thus spoken of could be
apprehended.

Audi alteram partem is an observation which
in consequence has from different quarters sent my eye or ear
from different more quarters and than one. Audi alteram
partem?
Can Could the most unreasonable importunate of suitors find any
thing to say against so unexceptionable a rule? Most
certainly not: it is the very ABC of prudence and of
justice. Necessarily however though , a further
proposition is assumed by it: viz: that a something there
is that can be said, and upon occasion will be said
on the other side.

Yes some of the best friends
of the parties complicated
know full well—and I
have confessed in the agony
of their hearts—there
is nothing on the other side.
Speak up with guilt.

Power will What power will may do is to supply men with the
faculty of sacrificing the public interest to a corrupt private, and
with their eyes open and violating with impunity the
public faith: what power is not to be done by power even
of the present despotism by despotic power is to find a colourable reason
or so much as a colourable one when the nature of that
case admitts of affords them none.

In the heat of a debate
When in the Should any the
Minister so far forget himself
as to pretend a regard for talk of morals, public
security, public morality, or
good faith let any one with
him call upon him to stand up/ what he has to say
what reason he has to give
why the Penitentiary Act of
1794 has never yet received
its execution—why the money
ordered to be advanced paid by the Act
of 1799 has never yet been
advanced except so much
as was necessary for the accommodation
of a Court Lord.

The existing system—the anti-parliamentary system, as
it may with so much truth and on more accounts than one—may
be abandoned, or persevered in, or abandoned: but as to its
being defended—if gentlemen wait till the end of time, they
will never hear a single syllable so much as to be attempted
to be uttered in defence of it.
