alleged damage which the law had ordered to be
created, & which the 12 Judges have decided to be
no injury, I am to be a principal in creating this
real damage, it is at my sollicitation that it is to
created, & thus it is that the justice of an indemnification
& of my claim to it is to arise.
First I am to create the damage: and then I
am to call for the indemnification. Sir, I can
not do this, indeed I can not. I can not ask of
Government that which not in pecuniary considerations
only, but considerations of so much
higher import, it seems to me so evident that
government ought not to grant.

But, says Mr Long, leave that to us, whose
business it is: what concern is it of yours? With
great submission to that gentlemen to whose
candour I really feel myself much obliged, it is
not impossible to a man to have public feelings,
without being or even having been or ever having
thought of being a Member of any Jacobinical society,
or of any other popular society, and at the
same time without being in the pay of government:
my whole life, if I must confess it, ring whole
life, obscure as it has been, has been made up of
such feelings. There is scarce that nook or
cranny in Government that I have not pried
into
conscience
